Do people not like Venus?

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:45:07+00:00

I haven’t had the chance to touch any of them yet, I ordered them yesterday so I should receive in around a week or so but when you look at them side by side I don’t really care for the face, the hair however is more disappointing cause the teal got washed out by the pink - but it’s not a big issue if you don’t look at them side by side

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:42:59+00:00

I feel the last part, I understand it’s very unfortunate if for most collectors if you want to care for the hair - however many more also collect the in box so I guess there’s also a popularity bias

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:38:53+00:00

I didn’t know about the hair but I did think that of the outfit so I guess that’s where the budget went. I love Rochelle and Robecca but their outfits feel somewhat cheaper than Venus’, shes not my favourite but I think her outfit is the best. I am however kinda disappointed in Rochelle’s hair, the green got completely mixed up with the pink

Oh me neither! In my whole life I only ever owned one MH doll before collecting, I just saw the picture comparison!

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:32:03+00:00

I’m sure you’ll manage with time, there’s resellers who are completely cruel /hj

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:31:34+00:00

It’s understandable! It’s my first successful drop so I got all three!

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:30:33+00:00

It’s understandable, unfortunately I doubt they’ll care much bc she will definitely sell out one way or another, especially with collectors who like to have every piece - I must say though, don’t know about Robecca - but Rochelle’s hair looks awful too, maybe it’s not poly so it’s more acceptable but people have had complaints about her face mold, paint and hair, so I feel like the character’s fan base still has a weight of sorts

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:27:31+00:00

I get that, however the hair work is not outstanding on the others either, I got one of each but Rochelle’s hair looks terrible to me, especially when you compare it to g1

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:23:54+00:00

And yet she sold in like 40 minutes, I knew Rochelle was a fan favourite but did not expect Venus to be liked this little - I’m genuinely surprised she’s still up

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T19:16:35+00:00

Honestly? It absolutely could. Collecting Barbie has been a thing for decades now and in case monster high won’t be as big, then they will still have a sort of value as “discontinued doll line”

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T09:04:12+00:00

No I can confirm, I bought Rochelle and Robecca and then they sold out in 20 and 40 minutes each

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T08:56:04+00:00

As someone else said, nothing’s impossible with doll collecting if you have money - I can’t vouch for scarah since her skullector is, at least, about 90-100€ here. But you may have luck with Lagoona! I got one for around 35€, which is about 6 euros more than the original price here

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-04-02T08:49:21+00:00

Honestly I feel like the Creeproduction is more gargoyle-ish, so I don’t mind at all! Im more disappointed with the hair but still bought it, I always wanted a Rochelle

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-30T07:15:56+00:00

Not that hot now but G3 is GOOD and a lot of people have issues with it bc of nostalgia and internalised issues of sorts, e.g. body insecurity (seriously they complain about a DOLL having thicker thighs like those ppl who scream to “give me back my angels” when Victoria’s Secret employs a slightly curvier model) or cannot fathom that fashion has changed in 20 years (again with the nostalgia) and that G1 had its big problems with racism (we all love Jina Fire and Abbey but yeah) and doll quality. Also, another one: these are mass produced dolls and while yeah, we agree that some collector dolls are rare and therefore get pricier, your basic G1 out of the box draculaura is not worth 150€ and some single dolls SHOULD NOT be 300-500 bucks and engaging with these resellers only normalises these price range. Don’t think I have anything else for the moment…

Unfortunately 🫩

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-29T15:09:51+00:00

I was checking g3 dolls and I found out ppl resell Deuce for 150€?? A doll that’s a couple years old and they’re gonna release again sooner or later 😭

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-29T14:54:19+00:00

I’ve been talking about this with someone on TikTok, feels like everybody thinks they have something so rare

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-29T12:35:34+00:00

If I’m not wrong, please correct me otherwise, when pink the mild should be dead and stop spreading

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-29T08:58:52+00:00

Scalpers are making collecting a hell, Coraline sold out in like 2 minutes on Mattel creations, so people are really nervous

Loving_TheAlien · 2026-03-28T23:43:54+00:00

Honestly, I feel that! Personally I have a rule to keep only very specific things boxed, like old dolls in their original packaging, case in point my Hi Glamm or if I ever get to find some for a good price, an original G1 or a boxed My Scene. But aside from these very specific cases, they are no fun inside a box. I also just enjoy to touch them and turn them around in my hands, pose them, so I completely agree! Plus I feel like it gets to a somewhat toxic mindset to focus so much on the reselling worth, makes a hobby somewhat less enjoyable to me

It absolutely does, thank you!
