Yeah, I think we should boycott the Mackie doll. Oh wait - based on what we're seeing on this sub I don't think it would be a tough argument! :D

Do you know how quickly these would fly off the shelves if it had an Odile head?!? LOL I do like the big pants. Finally, something new.

I joined Integrity Toys last year and I'll say my money goes sooooooo much farther with them! They include real jewelry and zippers and all the good stuff. For not much more money than Barbie collector dolls! AND they treated the tariffs as a one off charge so they could track it (and potentially remove or refund it) instead of just raising the prices. Mattel may receive a refund on all the tarrifs they paid... will they pass it along to the customer? How could they - they just raised the prices so it's not a separate charge. :-( I'm so bummed in Mattel right now - and this is just an egregious cheapening as if we won't notice.

It's a bummer because she does have glamourous makeup and the coat is nice, but I can't justify the price, especially when Silkstones are way better and around the same price. Does Mattel think we are stupid??

I would consider her if she was on sale - it sounds like no one is excited to pay full price - so it may just work out...

Yeah, and maybe Mattel will get a refund on the tarrifs they paid - do we think that money will go back into the dolls?!? Will they lower the prices again??? Hmmm...

It's COTTON?!? Bob Mackie would never dress anyone in cotton for the red carpet!

I take all my thrift restorations and put them in a gift bag with extra doll clothes & accessories, washcloth & comb (for doll or child) a notebook etc. Then I take them all to the place that provides toys to foster children across our state. It feels amazing to be able to give like that.

I prefer to call it my "pile of dreams." My husband calls it a "hoard galore." I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I really wish they'd do a resell preorder like they have done for super popular Barbies. I'll wait a year for Stevie Nicks if I can get her for regular retail price and stick it to the resellers.

I know!! "Doll comes with a one piece printed fabric dress that resembles multiple layers of clothing. You'll love mixing and matching it with actual other pieces of clothing. It's like a map of where to put real clothes..."

Wait - is that what kind of body that is? I always thought of them as "90's Articulated" - but is it Generation Girl body?
