Least Popular MH Dolls and Why?

[saply]

The hills are alive with the sound of DDG Operetta and Spectra, here.

Dead Tired 2.0

The Shopko down the street has an entire end cap full.  There has to be close to 80 of them or more.

[Cate_Dartfinger]

I've got 2.0 Lagoona up the rear around me, plus LOTS of RM Opie, SS Ghoulia and DT Lala. Once in a while a random Robecca/Rochelle/Venus will pop up, but the warmers are mostly the Goona's.

[Tiffymh1fan]

The Ghouls Alive are shelf warmers I thought these would sell out faster
ddg 3 pack
Cleos Vanity has been on shelf over a year now and seem to never sale
Sweet 1600 but dying out slow
CAM starter packs

I forgot about the Ghouls Alive, yeah, they're shelf warmers here as well, especially Clawdeen.

I think it's interesting how different areas have different dolls as shelf warmers. Like in my area, Clawdeen seems to always be a shelf warmer, where some areas it's Spectra and others say Frankie is the shelf warmer. Spectra is fairly rare in my area. I'll see her sometimes, but it will only be one at a time and she usually sells pretty quickly.

Robecca actually seems to be pretty popular here- I've seen her a few times, but it's pretty rare. I'm not too horribly interested in her but I should pick her up before they take her off shelves.

SS Ghoulia, the entire RM line, and DDG are huge shelf warmers in my area. It also seems to be the only thing we get here.

The new lines, however, are super rare. I've only seen Ghouls Rule and Scaris once or twice, and even then there were only a few of them left! It's ridiculous, and I honestly feel as though I'll never seen Skelita, Jinafire, or Catrine. I might not even see Scaris Ghoulia! (Who I ADORE)

EDIT: I mean Ghouls Alive, not Ghouls Rule. Gosh Ghouls Rule Frankie is also a huge shelf-warmer here.

Around these parts:
All Cleo releases
Wave 2 Frankie for a long time
Holt was everywhere up until this time last year
GB Jackson (wound up buying two at half price for custom dolls)
Sweet 1600 Clawdeen and Frankie (they're still everywhere)
DDG Lagoona
SS Lala and Ghoulia
Scaris Frankie
All the RM dolls- Meijers is packed with them

[angelfish]

The Hills are Alive with a ton of DDG dolls here in So Cal too.  Especially DDG Spectra.  Does no one love her down here?

I used to see SS Ghoulia a lot but I'm finally not seeing her or the other SS single pack dolls.  Holt sat forever and was finally put on clearance...I remember seeing nothing but row after row of him at Target.  I'd go to the MH section and see him and the Deuce/Cleo two-pack and groan.  If I'd only known I'd have bought a ton of those Holts and used them for trades!

Don't see any of the signature/basics anymore not even the newer ones like Robecca and Venus.  I do see poor 1600 Clawdeen and a ton of Ghoul's Rule Frankie and Clawdeen.

Oh..Scaris Basic Abbey seems to be a shelf sitter here.  I always see her and almost no Ghoulias.  I'll see a Draculaura but nowhere near the amount that I see Abbey.

[Nana-Rena]

The rollermaze dolls were available here, but I wasn't that into collecting yet then, so I can't remember for how long. I do remember that they were on sale and then disappeared. I can kind of see why they aren't so popular. They all look kind of the same and they don't come with much accessories or interesting outfits. This is just me spitballing. The only one o them that I kind of liked was Operetta, because she doesn't look like the others.

The dolls that are available now are the DDG and Scaris ones, but I'm not sure if we have the whole line of the Scaris dolls, I haven't seen a Deuce, Draculaura or Abbie anywhere. It remains to be seen which will sell and which won't.

Here in Indiana, at least where I live I always see:
-Skull Shores Ghoulia
-Rollermaze Operetta, Frankie, Ghoulia
-Dot Dead Gorgeous lines (the 3 pack, Operetta, Spectra, & Lagoona)
-The 2.0 Lagoona is everywhere and tons of her too.
-Basic Abbey, Venus, Robecca, Rochelle
-Scaris Clawdeen, Rochelle, Frankie, Draculaura, Abbey
-Sweet 1600 Frankie, Draculaura

(and apparently Indiana doesn't clearance any MH doll, The Sweet 1600 dolls are still regular price but I've seen other people say they were clearanced lol)

[angelponies]

In my area the shelf warmers are~

DDG 3 pack
RM Ghoulia
All the Scaris dolls minus Deuce and Skelita
Ghouls Alive
Skull Shores 5 pack -TONS
Power Ghouls Spectra and Clawdeen

I wish I had bought the Clawd and Draculaura two pack that was around for a long time and GB Jackson!

[operaghost]

I saw a lot of RM Ghoulias last time I went to Wal-Mart. I don't know why... she's so cute with her brain helmet! 

[faunabay]

After reading all these replies I'm realizing if there's a doll I even think I might want and see if on the shelf I should pick one up.  Because it seems like what's the shelfwarmer now might really be hard to find later.  hmmm........   Now I'm not going to buy everything!     But if I'm interested in the slightest I'll grab it when I see it. 

[Zombelina]

Around here right now, the shelfwarmers are DDG Lagoona and RM Operetta. And all 3 Ghouls Alive (looks like those are going over like a lead balloon...) And old CaM sets are always all over the place.

Until recently, the shelfwarmers were S1600 Clawdeen and SS Ghoulia. And a year ago, I saw tons of sig Operetta, Nefera and 2.0 Cleo for ages. And the Forbitten Love 2-pack was constantly on shelves for like a year solid. And back when I started collecting, it was GB and the Cleo/Deuce 2-pack. EVERYWHERE.
