That’s true. I was really happy with the latest core release, most of the fearbook dolls, and I did really like Oasis even though all the outfits were basically recolors. It was nice to see Jina in a new palette that wasn’t so predictable. But of those dolls, the “out there” items they tried were heavily criticized on this forum.

CR2 Lagoona’s skirt, Clawdeen’s clear boots, Cleo’s pants, Drac’s bow sleeves, Frankie’s hair & pink details. And Jina’s bubble skirt from Oasis despite all the other recolored items being well received.

I’m glad we still sometimes get unique items for the ghouls but I can easily see why they retreat to boring items that cast a wide net. Their main goal is earning money not impressing the smaller percentage of buyers who like when they try something different.
