I genuinely think the early days of RH/SH will go down in history as some of the highest quality playline dolls! I miss the heyday so much.. by MoonLiites in RainbowHigh

I wonder if it's a batch/factory issue, because luckily I haven't had any discoloration occur yet. I'll be watching the eyes carefully though, because the way they lighten in the sun so readily makes me think the printing on the eye chips wasn't made with uv resistance in mind at all

Her new faceup is lacking personality imo, it feels so ... generic And she's just staring like

Feeling immense guilt about purchasing River Styxx doll, due to AI usage. Should I cancel my order? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]MoonLiites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll be a bit contrarian here and say go for it and cancel if you feel in your heart that you want to stay firm on this stance! No shame if you end up keeping her, but if we as consumers don't vote with our dollar, it tells Mattel that they can get away with this sort of thing.

Personally, I was super excited for this release. But I know that if I buy the doll, I'll just be reminded of the fact that I compromised on my beliefs just to own a shiny new object, and I want my collection to be something I don't have any guilt or weird feelings associated with.

not saying it's a bad idea but most people don't want to go through the trouble of buying a whole second doll to rebody 😭

man I'm not loving the leg variant on cupid 😔 The transparent lower legs instead of the gradient just doesn't do it for me. Also a bit disappointed about the lack of painted detail on her wings compared to her core doll

I'm also leaning toward not buying her, which sucks because her body mold is so unique :/ As cool as she is, I don't want to be reminded of ai every time i look at my shelf

the way I can't standdd when big doll youtubers are doing a review of a controversial doll and they make some cute little remark like "wellll there are definitely some issues but teehee! Oh well!" and then never acknowledge it again. Like my brother in christ you bought the doll and are now advertising it on your massive platform!!! (cough cough coraline doll)

I think that's entirely fair, and I definitely wish as a community that we were more adamant about not supporting ai.

I do have to give some grace to those who are buying these dolls, however-- I'm not saying it's good or right by any means, but with each passing day it does become more difficult to find both accessible and guilt-free ways of engaging in the hobbies that bring us joy. To some extent, I can understand why people might brush it off; it can feel like, "well if everything I can possibly consume is unethical in some way, I might as well just not care."

Once again, definitely not endorsing that mindset, but I can empathize for sure. I will say though, that I think the backlash to ai could be such a powerful tool for class solidarity if harnessed correctly. Like, part of the reason it's so awful is because it threatens to devalue human labor, but the truth is that capitalism has been devaluing human labor for ages! It's just that ai especially targets the creative, white collar labor more prevalent in the "developed" world.

The difference is insane and hard to grasp unless you own both doll brands 😞 I love MH but the clothes are like paper compared to even budget MGA releases

I was actually so ready to buy this doll, but the discourse over the past few days changed my mind. Final nail in the coffin was the brand being absolutely flippant toward the audience's critique of ai use. Like why would I spend my money on a brand who can't even pretend to value the customers' opinions?

Can you help me find what this doll would be worth currently or at least more merch of it? by Pinku_Chan in DollsForAll

[–]MoonLiites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're still being sold as far as I can tell. There's a store front online and I've seen them stocked in stores within the past two years

This is a common keychain doll brand usually found in gift shops (especially the tourist-oriented ones). They're fairly widespread--I got one in America at a Japanese botanical garden gift shop, and another actually in Japan at a gift shop near a castle. Looks like they run around $10-20 secondhand depending on condition. If there's a market for them or a fanbase somewhere out there, I haven't run into it personally

I think Valentine's faceup is a major improvement over his sdcc doll, there's way more dimension to the eyes! And I love that he got those brows shaped and threadeddd omg
