Oh, your Draculaura is so pretty! She's my favorite from the group.

I found them in the wild in NL! €35 but hey, at least no importing I got Draculaura today

[Lady Frostbite]

The new ghouls don't have stands right? I haven't unboxed Abbey yet

[shockponie]

@Lady Frostbite Yay, you got Abbey! No stands. I wish they did.

The rest of the lineup for 2023 -> https://www.instagram.com/p/CuGPmlOohUX/

Apparently we're getting Venus and Catty as a part of the core line, two NEW characters as a part of the Midnight Runway line (aside from Spectra), a new SDCC doll, and two more Fang Club exclusives!

Hm, interesting. I’m psyched about Venus! Also looking forward to seeing g3 Meowlody & Purrsephone.

Hooray for more kitties!! Intrigued to see all the other dolls, too.

[Lady Frostbite]

Oh. My. Ra. Please, PLEASE let Catty be beautiful and pink/black and NOT have a horrible fringe! That fringe ruined so many good dolls ... I still have my 13 Wishes and Londoom (redressed in a teeny corset), I passed on Geek Shriek when I shouldn't have, I didn't like the Rock Star one or that new ghoul at school one. Catty was my second favourite in looks after Abbey.

I REALLY wish they had stands though :C Do we think Mattel will make stands in the future? Has anyone checked which stands fit them?

[brightberry]

I really want to see Venus!

I don't know if the new Skulltimate Secrets have been mentioned:

From all of these, I like Ghoulia most.  Twyla is cute too.  I hate the giant lockers though.

Oh and I am excited about Cleo and Draculaura from these sets:

Oooh Draculaura's getting some yellow in her colour palette again! :o Didn't expect that to come back. I love her pocky accessory and laptop <3
(omg is she watching Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love???)

AND YES NEW TORALEI AAAAA LOVE her hair, not sure about the crescent moon (?) earring (looks like more of a Clawdeen earring.. and the other earrings are... cogs?? wha..), and her teacup is adorable. very diff. vibes to my beloved G1 Tora BUT I dig it. I just don't like her boots - I love the style, but the colour blends in too much with her body :/

LoveloveLOVE Ghoulia's face omg. she still feels like a whole new character to me, though. Ahhh is that a Comic-Con parody sticker on her laptop? <3 Hate those game controller earrings and I'm not sure I'm really feeling any of her clothes in general (I'd have to see more pics), but I looove her face and hair. I think I want this one <3

And Twyla is just darling! Argh, I really want a G3 Twyla. I wish the sleepover dolls would come over here already.. I saw them when I was in America earlier on in the month and she's so pretty!

I don't think this year's SDCC doll was posted:

Freak du Chic Draculaura (G1 style). Not one I'd want personally, but it's nice to see MH at SDCC again...

OMG HISSETTE'S BACK!!! Yesssss!!!!! I missed her, Tut is cute and all, but.. Hissette <333 Ahhh she's cute. I like Cleo's outfit there but I still just can't get into G3 Cleo, I just don't like how shiny they made her :s But I really want her pets haha.

that pic of Clawdeen w/ her arm around Draculaura is so darling! ahhh, I'm gonna need that 2-pack. (Still don't get why they had to change Crescent into a wolf, though.) now if only the stores around here would stock more MHs...! x)

I have not managed to grab one of the new dolls yet. Did all of you see the YRU shoes that were released over the summer? They have been having short bursts of re-releases because they sold out so quickly. I couldn't drop the money on the shoes but they are incredibly cute.

[Zapper]

I felt the need to post again after saying a while ago that I was out of the MH collector zone. Well, I'm semi back in

I was initially very happy that the new MH didn't appeal to me. I still have no urge to get into the show or movies (I stand by my opinion that they look super cheap and some character changes didn't serve any purpose such as witchy Draculaura) buuut they finally released a Cleo I couldn't resist and that was the blue-haired Fearidescent one.

I loved her overall look so much and she was one of the few new MHs available in my country in physical stores. She was still way too expensive. I didn't like paying for a big plastic locker and the fact her face was obscured annoyed me. I got two with uneven eyes, so I just chose the one with less flaws and returned the other one.

Now here's the thing: there seem to be no clues as to how many future lines will be available here in Germany. So far we got Sig, Fearidescent, the new Coffin Bean and the car. That's it. No store or Amazon exclusives either. Amazon doesn't stock them.

Would anyone be up to becoming my personal shopper? I am interested in Abbey and the future Venus but I have no confidence in ever being able to get them here. The face-up situation bothers me a lot so ordering from Amazon.com would pose another challenge.
I used to trade and buy for others back in the day but sadly the doll market here has been pretty bad and we are no longer getting any exclusives I could get for you. So it would be on a simple pick-up (product price + shipping costs) basis. Maybe if you are going to pick out your own dolls, just get one for me as well? I'd appreciate it.
Get in touch with me here or via PM if you feel like it

New dolls:

Blurry photo of Howliday Winter Edition Clawdeen
Hoping for better pics of her soon.

Next Skullector doll is Annabelle. I've heard of this series but I'm not familiar with it past the name, so can't really comment. I like her hair, though.

Scare-adise Island beach dolls - Clawdeen and Heath - there's listings for Frankie and Laura too but no pics yet

Don't care for Clawdeen's outfit at all... I like her book though. She's one I'd really need to see in person, I think. (Though I'm starting to wonder if that'll ever happen :/)
Heath's outfit is... not one I'd pick for a beach line (on a fiery character!!), but aside from that nitpicking :p he's pretty nice!! not one I'd want personally, but I like him. Especially surprising given I HATE his cartoon model. He's just a really nice doll, I love how they did his hair.
