Monster High Discussion 14

[Bow Tie]

Is anyone else having a problem with bad seams on the legs of the new Swim dolls? One of my Lagoonas and my Venus have a cracked seam on the right knee. I was so excited to open them until I noticed the cracks. Now I have to wait and find new ones before I can open and display them.

I am also lacking MH clothes to mix and match. I do have some clothes from some of the dolls I chose to put fashion packs on and some random pieces, but the ones that I do have don't work well together. I have a couple of nude Lagoonas that I got from some lovely members here and I don't have anything to really go with them other than the extra Lagoona stock from my extra Lagoonas that are in other outfits. It doesn't help that 50% of my collection is Lagoona and the other 50% are random dolls that I'm keeping in their stock outfits except for a few of them.

I am waiting for a few outfits that I bought from a member here to put on them. I did put one of them in her Classroom dress and used her DDG accessories and shoes and she just looks absolutely darling! <3

TL;DR: I need to buy more MH outfits. Especially if I want to keep my Lagoona army growing.

The bad seams are why I haven't bought any swimline dolls yet. All the ones I've seen....granted only one store has them here yet.....but they've all had bad leg seams.   


And someone might have already answered this but is Twyla small like Howleen?  Because between the two Gigi looks larger.

I remember how cheap the first line of swim dolls (Gloom Beach) felt compared to the original signature dolls. A bunch of them had seams that looked as though they were already starting to split, too.

Yes, Twyla is the smaller mold I believe.

I just came home from Kmart with new Swimsuit Venus!   

Just a heads up for everyone to start checking. No luck on the roller maze 2 pack with Clawdeen. They put out another whole case with Ghoulia instead.

Alittle late, but I wanted to point out that Clawdeen is a single RM doll, and Abbey has been re-released as a single too, so if you are looking for Clawdeen amongst the double pack dolls, you won't find her:(  You have to sort through the piles of single pack RM dolls:(

My guess is budget too. I wouldn't pay $20 for these. $13 (give or take a dollar depending on the store) is about right.

That's hilarious; the budget dolls *are* $20 here.  God, I hate how expensive everything is in Canada, especially since I'm shopping with American funds.

Also, they seem to have stopped stocking sig Venus here for some reason.  I only ever saw a couple of her and now there aren't any at all, even though more Robeccas seem to keep popping up.  I wish I'd grabbed one of her when I had the chance; I love her so much.

Does it look like this???

Ahh justkitter name change!! Grats!

I just noticed that all of the MF dolls have a VIP badge type-thing. I wonder what the story behind them are?

So much love! Operetta's little corset/waist-cincher and her jacket are amazing. I must have all three! God, I'm just sickeningly full of dolly-love today, aren't I.

*shares pain* The prices hurt EVERY. TIME. If only I wasn't 6+ hours from the border (and more like 10 hours from an American city!), I'd be shopping US stores, Canadian retailers be darned 

I think PD has replaced the signature doll assortment now? They're being stocked under the "Core Dolls" tag when I see them. I still see the occasional leftover Robecca too, so there ought to be a few Venuses out there as well from that old assortment. But she's always disappeared way faster than Becca.  I hope you can find her soon! I can keep an eye out for you, too.

Dwaahhh!!!

MH Ragdoll plushies 2.0?!?![/center]

Cuuute! I wasn't keen on the original plushies (so reminiscent of Coraline! *twitch*) but that Frankie, d'aww!

I just noticed that all of the MF dolls have a VIP badge type-thing. I wonder what the story behind them are?

Backstage passes 'cause the lucky ghouls won a contest to "meet the band"? 

[Flutterwonder13]

I've come to the conclusion that I NEED NEED NEED Twyla. I like that she's *all* purple now. But she's just breathtaking. Can't wait!

[faunabay]

I must have the PD Frankie of course.     What I'm surprised about though is I might have to get the PD Operetta.   I love her clothes....love that jacket and corset top!!

Awesome, thanks! Looks like Operetta's mole has gone the way of Lagoona's freckles. The ghouls must be going heavy on the foundation for photo day xD

But gah! *tear* I hope they come back for the final versions, I love those little uniquenesses...

[Flutterwonder13]

I love PD Frankie. *adds to list* But that lagoona...ugh. She is just hideous to me. It looks like she went into a halloween store and bought the cheesiest 80's costume she could find. *Edit* Does anyone know when Wave 2 will hit shelves?

[Catlein]

So... are all the photos officially done from the Toy Fair? Does that mean that the other reported items that were supposedly there are not going to be shown? (Like the 2-packs and such).
