Found Fianna Fins at Walmart!

[angelfish]

It was thought she was only available online!  Found her tonight at the Monrovia Walmart in So Cali.  I have an open Fianna already so I will be passing her on although I want to write up a proper sales post later with pics.  Just wanted to let any Bratzillaz fans know to start checking Walmart...

Oooh congrats! She's pretty enough that I am tempted to pick her up, but I don't need to start another collection. I have been looking for her each time I go to the store even though I tell myself not to buy her.

Wow!! congrats - I had to order mine online, no sign of her around here in stores. Isn't she gorgeous??

[angelfish]

I ordered mine online as well so I was shocked to see her on the shelf at Walmart. I did pick her up.with the intention of selling her here or on ebay as I don't need 2..  She is gorgeous, love her.  Probably the prettiest 'Zilla!  I wonder if she'll be showing up in stores more regularly or if Walmart is the only store she'll be in?  It's never been stated by MGA but Vampelina's only been found at Target, atleast here in the So Cal area.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  That's lead a lot of us here to believe that she was a Target exclusive.  So I kinda wonder if Fianna is an unofficial Walmart exclusive.  I understand limiting Vampy, I love her but she might've been a little too scary for kids.  But Fianna seems an odd choice for MGA to limit production on.  She's stunning and a lot of girls love mermaids.  Were MGA just trying to create a buzz about the Bratzilla line by forcing scarcity?  It's just odd.

no. i saw fianna at target and walmart today. she is in the revamped case assortment so all stores have equal chance of getting/not getting her.

and vampelina is scary? WHAT!? LMFAO like i'm seriously rolling on the floor laughing hysterically at that ... crazy.

they are new dolls. in the new doll case assortments. if they were exclusives they would be in their own case assortments. they are just hard to find as they are only one per case right now ad just starting to hit most store shelves.

Nice I could make you laugh..

Vampelina is not scary to me but she's not well liked by either of my goddaughters.  Both said they found her 'mean' and 'creepy' so I figured she may have been a test run.  i am glad both dolls are showing up for those that want to still find them.

[kamakazee82]

yeah but the mh cat girls are "mean and creepy" too lol most of the general population thinks all brtz/bratzillaz/mh are "ugly, creepy, corruptive' toys .... to each their own lol

test runs are more for things like product tests where they provide the product to a room of kids to play test and see how it goes over before they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new doll in a line that introduces to see if it flops or not ... it's just bad distribution on their part

Congrats on finding Fianna, angelfish!  I'm jealous

I've been on the lookout for her.  I'm not sure I like the whole GitD thing, so I'm not sure if I want her.  I know I'll probably get her, because I'm afraid I'll never see her again.  You never know!  She may be a one shot deal.

I found my Vampelina in Walmart.  I was shocked.  She was right out in front, waiting for me:)

[angelfish]

When I said 'test run' I meant more that MGA might've been testing the waters to see how Vampelina does as a character.  If they make more and sit we may not see her again in upcoming lines.


I am aware that most of the general populace doesn't find dolls like MH cute but clearly kids do explaining the popularity of the line.  My two godaughters found Vampelina to be unappealing in a way that they don't seem to feel about Draculaura.  Maybe it's all the pink they like.  Come to think of it neither of them like the Werecat twins either yet they both squeed over Caterine.  I think I might be in the minority in that I find the Werecat Twins kinda creepy too.


I hope we see more of both Vampelina and Fianna in future lines.  I'd like to see a Fianna with a natural skintone.

Justkitter, fabby!  I love my Vampy, she's my fav zilla for sure!  Congrats!  It's nice to see that these 2 are finally showing up!

[kamakazee82]

yeah. would love to see fianna without the gitd skin

and when i've seen vampilina in stores girls have been goin gaga over her. its all personal preference but i think theyre all doing exceedingly well in regards to both franchises lol

[Roogna]

good to know! I'm ready to break down and order her and vampeline from amazon, but I was hoping the prices there would have come down a bit

[Aeryala]

I'd almost given up trying to find Fianna or Vampelina on the shelves here, but now it seems like I should keep looking.  Has anyone in Canada seen either of these dolls in person yet?

[rayedelsol]

Good Luck, guys!

I couldn't wait for them to trickle in to me, so I ordered online. I still haven't seen them in stores.

I just found vampelina at target the other day... Trying to figure out if anyone wants to buy her without her tights... I bought it for her tights but haven't opened her just yet...
