Monster High Discussion 17

We have an abundance of Skelitas here. I guess she isn't popular, because she looks too monster-y and isn't pink.

for information toys'r us France has cancelled the presale for Catty Noir

[DEStokes]

My original plan was to only buy the Signature version of each doll.  Then I decided that since I liked the boys so much and there were so few of them, I would buy any version of the boys.  Now I am seriously having a hard time saying no to Dawn of the Dance Lagoona.  If I buy her, it'll open the floodgates, I just know it.

I saw one Skelita when I went to the city last week (the only one I've ever seen in stores). This was after checking 5 Walmarts, a TRU, and 2 Dominions (Newfoundland's Superstore). I had previously decided I didn't want her, because every picture I've ever seen of her, either promo or by an arena member, has made her look really wall-eyed. But the one I saw in person was perfect, and I really considered getting her.... until I brought her to a price checker and she was $30. >.> Yay for Canadian pricing.

Yeah, Skelitas sell poorly. Too bad I don't want her either, because she's very easy to find 

But OMG, my friend who works at a toy store is gonna deal me some dolls, with discount. I'm finally getting my Picture Day Frankie <3

Yeah, I've seen a lot of parents pull their girls away from the MH shelf because Skelita was on there and "you're not getting such a disgusting skeleton doll!"
Apparently girls are not supposed to like fashionable skeletons or else they'd turn into them or something like that  *eyeroll*

[NinaMarie]

I know my mother would never have allowed me to have Skellita when I was growing up. Too morbid for her I guess. Skellita ended up being the very first MH I bought. I found the skeleton body fascinating. First thing I did was crochet her a frilly flamenco skirt and a tube top with ruffles to show off her non-existent belly.

When I was a little girl I had those:

I think my parents would have just bought her for me without even asking

[ShortyBoo]

I see Skelita at Walmart fairly often. I think she's neat and would buy her if it weren't for the doll being so badly wall-eyed. But I guess I can understand why parents wouldn't like her. She is kind of morbid.

[MilkyTaroMochi]

I wasn't a fan of Skelita at first, but I was starting to like her the more I saw her on the shelf. And after seeing a pic of her that Hamsteh took/did, I caved in and ordered her from Amazon. xD

In my area, you would sooner see her on the shelf in comparison to Jinafire ( only saw her on at a store sbout eight or nine times since she was released, but seen Skelita at least 25+), but I would say Skelita isn't much of a shelf warmer. Especially compared to Catrine and Abbey, who I always see at a Walmart.

[Flutterwonder13]

Ugh, the overprotective parent strikes again. Yes, it's the skeletal system. No, it's not going to throw your kid down the path of doom and scar them for life.

Oh my! Street sharks! I remember those! I didn't have them though.

OMG, which toy store? Are PD2.0 in Finland already?

I see Operetta in that last picture, so can I assume that they're both sold in this playset? I need them both. :c

There is a version of the playset that has her, but it's a store exclusive. Costco or Walmart maybe? I can't remember but I don't think it's Target. They just show her in the promos to have another doll in the set up. They did the same with the general release of Ghoulia's scooter and Draculaura's powder room.
