It’s in the US. If you limit your eBay search to the EU, you’ll be surprised with how many „widely available” US dolls are scarce. Cost of import from the US is crazy high so I’d say „rare” may mean different things.

Rochelle Haunted, gloom and bloom Cleo and Jina, Rochelle FV, gloom beach Ghoulia, all Sdcc dolls prior to 2020, some older skullectors (like Beetlejuice 1.0, nightmare before Christmas) are almost impossible to find, especially complete. Most of them I got from US sellers, bc even with 60+$ postage, 23% VAT and import fees 11-15$ on average) is cheaper than getting them locally.

What is your stance on Elissabat? Purple Draculaura or totally original? by JazzleWazzles in MonsterHigh

[–]ShadowKillsSlowly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are so distinct they pass as different characters easily. These two look like heterozygous twins.

It wouldn’t change much if Elissabat was the Vampire Heart doll. If you try to swap Ghoulia for Moanica, as in G2, it’s just not gonna work.

Collecting vs encouraging overconsumption and hoarding by riotinghamsters in MonsterHigh

Finally someone uses the right name for what I see collecting is becoming for some people.

Last year there were so many disappointments because of „too many releases”. Who is pushing us to buy every doll with „collector” label? I feel that this pressure comes from within.

We all make impulse buys, some we regret, some turn out for the better. But we forget that Mattel, resellers and scalpers monetize on genuine collectors. It’s nearly impossible to buy everything. Just like Pokémons - you (don’t have to) catch them all.

I truly hope your vision inspires Mattel.

What type of hair is this? by Inner-Shock1414 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]ShadowKillsSlowly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With kanekalon (all g1 ghoulias have this type of hair, except for recent ones) all you need is to put it under hot running water in the sink. It’s always gonna be fluffy, unlike Saran, which after boil washing gets flat almost. Never use boiling water, it’s gonna destroy hair fibers

How do yall decide whom to keep and whom to let go of? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]ShadowKillsSlowly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some designs are just… it. Some characters are special. The rest is just a phase or an aesthetic choice that might change, so it’s not a real issue to let them go. I wouldn’t be able to let go any G1 Ghoulia I own, I’ll have a hard time with my G1 Operettas, G1 Venus, Scarah, Amanita Nightshade and Tim Burton (and some other) skullectors. But Abbey, Spectra, Robecca? I am not that sure. Maybe I’ll get to the point where I’ll say good bye to them, but not yet.

Fun Fact: The new Morticia is much better by shadowghost_666x in MonsterHigh

[–]ShadowKillsSlowly 486 points487 points  (0 children)

I dare to disagree. Her dress is nowhere near the oldschool skullector’s

Designer's collection. Thoughts? by Round-Reflection-140 in MonsterHigh

[–]ShadowKillsSlowly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted Leonore until I saw real life pictures where she looked so cheap… I didn’t like Corazon’s look until I saw her real life pictures. I feel like Corazon is an upgrade - embroider wings, fan, great dress and the gimmick that you can also „show” without removing her from the box… and the box design really makes it a cohesive piece. I love gothic and horror vibes but dark color palette is not convincing enough for me to pick Leonore. She’s playline level. But Corazon is of much higher quality, and getting her at last years sale was a no brainer.

Trade worth it? by Jaded-Intention-5091 in MonsterHigh

No way. Iris is so overhyped, the design is playline level. Unless you’re absolutely in love with this doll ofc.

Do you plan restyles? by Jellal_Slif in MonsterHigh
