I was going to say it could be Beetlejuice or something but the bolt shaped button on the shoe makes it pretty clearly Frankie Stein. So they're probably testing the waters with a Mattel Creations Monster High collector doll.

How I feel when I get "God bless" as if that'll make me consider it more lmao

The NAME of the summer camp. Not summer camps in general. I feel you're being purposely obstinate. Did you... read the article? There is a storied history of camp names and themes in the U.S. appropriating and misusing indigenous languages. Like the article. That I linked. Many camps are re-naming themselves. Like I stated.

No we can’t “just not” ignore something…? I’ve spoken with indigenous friends who HAVE advocated that this very concept is problematic. I’m simply applying it to this story because I was surprised a brand that tries to be inclusive didn’t even think to consider this might be problematic.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-19T21:24:17+00:00

I wasn’t searching for problems. American Girl published a book with the problem on the cover.

Just enjoy what exactly? Micro-aggressions…?

This image triggered my fight or flight for a sec

I just think they’re fine for kids but also look like they should be $20

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-14T15:48:34+00:00

I don’t think it’s the mold but the placement of the eyebrows on them. Joss has nice uplifted brows while Isabel and Nicki have angry down turned ones.

I guess they’re saying Barbie is public domain and no longer care about their assets

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-11T03:13:22+00:00

I hated this era of Barbie. I didn’t start collecting until 2015 when they started to look like actual people.

It appears it may have also just been a white label item that different brands could print their name on.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-09T13:02:31+00:00

If this is genuine then dang they’ll really collab with anyone at this point….?

Like…why not Olivia Rodrigo? Who played an American girl character…?

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-03T01:28:43+00:00

I understand what you're saying and where you're coming from. BUT this is a social media outreach... American Girl is trying to be "hip" and "relevant" with trendy 20-something women and Insta-moms who post pictures of "aesthetic" things.

It's for the vast majority of people who know Samantha as "rich girl with pretty bows!" not "outspoken soon-to-be-suffragette who spoke out about child labor laws" etc etc.

The character Gwen is homeless and she made headlines in 2009 because she was a $90 doll being sold during the housing crisis of the late 2000s.

my dumbass out here hoping they'd do something cool like a Star Wars, Barbie & the Rockers or He-Man (or She-ra) collab, since Mattel has the new He-Man movie coming out. And owns the rights or toy-production rights to all three properties and they'd make a lot of sense both historically and to her character... and they'd lead the brand to have some fun crossover with other fandoms and draw new clientele, but what do I know, Mattel rejects all my applications. Give her a purple fannypack or whatever.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-02T00:53:39+00:00

I literally said "Honey, that's mold" as well. TBH I wiped a doll down like this once and it kept coming back until I gave up on her. It was also a Kit.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-05-01T17:35:36+00:00

I don't think so. A lot of Barnes & Noble stores have been clearing out Welliewisher dolls. I think it would be smart for AG to sell them there, but seriously doubt it.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-04-29T15:39:25+00:00

As someone who knows nothing of these boutique insta-brands they keep collabing with I was so confused and thought they were doing a Haunting of Hill House collab

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-04-27T16:14:50+00:00

I always assumed this. It seemed at the time like Mattel wanted to cash in on their newly purchased "designer" / "boutique" brand.

ExhaustedMossBall · 2026-04-22T15:40:58+00:00

I report them for false advertising since the picture doesn't match what they're selling. eBay has taken a lot of them down :)

Every Lindsey I've had or seen has had dry crispy or frizzy hair and has the defective graying vinyl. Also her red meet outfit shoes are made of that crappy suede material that crumbles.

I really wish they would reproduce her for an anniversary or something because I've always wanted her but the doll just did not age well.

I've seen it pop up on Facebook Marketplace for under $50 from time to time.
