Didn't I hear somewhere back in this very thread that they were re-releasing all of the boys cept Holt?  Wonder why Holt isn't getting any love-

I thought they were re-releasing a signature Holt???

I was super-excited about Bloodgood getting her nightmare until I googled what it looked like. Silly me. For some reason, I was expecting it to look like a D&D nightmare, which would've been way more awesome than a silly blue horse with bloodshot eyes. Sigh ...


I'm curious to know what the 13 Wishes Big Moment Doll is. That one wasn't part of the preview pics I saw. The Friday the 13th doll sounds interesting - probably Catty Noir, eh?

Oh, and "Blitz Item - Sweet 1600 (CR)" - I wonder what that is. Anyone know what that "(CR)" stands for?

Looks like Lala's Diener is going to be like the Coffin Bean (general release set has one doll, exclusive has two).

So, according to this the GNO 4-pack will be a Walmart exclusive here in the US and The DC 5-pack most likely will be Target to replace Skull Shores?  Catty Noir will be a Target exclusive as well?  That's how the stores pair up between Europe and the US right?

Probably b/c he was shelf-warming for AGES and they don't want to have that again.

(I know it's silly, since the fandom is completely different by now and I think he would sell.. alas, Mattel probably thinks different about his or does not think about it at all. LOL.)

[LuvlyMelody]

From what I remember when I first started out in collecting MH, Holt was the one mostly warming the shelves like there was no tomorrow, so Mattel is probably thinking: "This blue guy didn't sell so well in the beginning, so releasing him again could be a risk that we'll be overstocked with him again and we'll lose money making so many of him." but what they don't know is that people are desperate for him now and need him!!

The main new things I only want are I <3 Fashion Scarah and the GNO 4 pack.

Don't know if I really want the GNO line, but OMG They come with iCoffins!!! But if I get the 4-pack, then I'll have to get the other three single releases and that really goes against what I stand for in my One Doll Per Character Rule...Then again that rule is slowly diminishing anyways ever since I opened Rochelle/Venus/Robecca/Jinafire...=_=; Urrgh what's happening to me...*lays in fetal position*

Please. For the love of my sanity, Mattel. Re-release him. I still haven't gotten over missing him since I came in the game so late. He's my most wanted doll, period!

I thought they were re-releasing holt... But he was the only one who doesn't have the articulated wrists...

[Galactica]

Well Mattel can definitely come up with some big surprises- so who knows?  But it is true that Holt was a major shelf-warmer.  I remember seeing a pile of them in clearance...    But hopefully they change their mind-  there must be someone in marketing monitoring the sales on ebay, right?   

I guess the real problem is that the plan for new dolls occurs a year in advance of them actually hitting the shelf- a lot can happen in a year...

Well, there goes ALL my money this year.

I really only want Scarah, Clawd, and Gil (must stick to the one doll per character rule ) so I will have to buy the 5-pack and the 2-pack and just get rid of the dolls No way am I going to pay Ebay scalper prices for the guys. Actually, is anyone willing to split those two packs with me? You can have the ghouls, I just want the guys

Sprinkles, if nobody else has volunteered to split with ya, I'll totally buy your DC Rochelle I neeeed every Rochelle and would prefer not to buy the whole pack just for her... Especially with so many other dolls coming out that I want! And I'm not even sure the pack will come to Canada...?

edit: oh, makes sense that it will be the new Target exclusive to replace the beach 5-packs. So possibly our new Canadian Targets will get it, but still.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy a pack and split it with someone because my area seems to be the last to get anything We STILL don't have Catrine (luckily my boyfriend got her for me as a birthday present ). Thank you though!

[ShortyBoo]

I really like GNO Venus, I'm just not sure if I like her better than Music Festival Venus or not. I definitely want GNO Rochelle, so if I decide I want GNO Venus, I'll probably buy the 4 pack and sell Clawdeen and Ghoulia. I like I Heart Fashion Clawdeen's dress, but I won't buy her just for that. I'm not a fan of Scarah, but I like all her clothes and shoes, which I think may be worth buying her and selling her nude. I'm still regretting not grabbing I Heart Fashion Abbey on Black Friday for her outfits and shoes.

He totally is! Awww.
You can do it, Gil! ^^

No worries! If I end up buying the whole pack and don't like Gil enough to keep, maybe I can sell him to you!  The Arena is so awesome for redistributing multipacks between us

I'm not up to date on my webisode watching so Gil's character could have had some changes I'm not aware of, but I can't imagine him DANCING.  He's such a stick in the mud, he's the LAST character I would have guessed belonged in the Dance Class line.

Also, I've been meaning to make this point.  I think Scaris Deuce not effecting Sig. Deuce's value makes sense.  Most people prefer the Sig outfits they see in the webisodes and specials.  Sig is also a deluxe doll, and Scaris is a Basic doll.  I think prices for SS Gil will go down with this DC release, because it's not the same situation  SS and DC Gil are almost the same.  They may even be no different from each other!  I think SS Gil's value has nowhere to go but down.
