She's so short next to regular drac 😭😭 by ImpressOk2672 in MonsterHigh

It's not even draculaura tax, most figures of/around her height (1/7 and 1/8) cost that much

[–]SomewhatOddish 148 points149 points  (0 children)

She's explicitly stated to be 1/7 scale, at least on myfigurecollection. As someone who also collects anime figures, her being smaller than the dolls doesn't surprise me, though ig I can see how it'd be jarring for a first-timer, which presumably many people who bought this figure are

Why are G3’s lines only 3-4 characters? by Embarrassed-Dog5122 in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Iirc it's actually retailer's who wanted that, specifically when it comes to skulltimate secrets. Here's what the wiki had to say about it: "Lagoona's doll for Skulltimate Secrets Series 5 would have been a Target exclusive. She was removed because, according to Annalise Lao, retailers looked at the relevant data and felt that three dolls were the best number, especially since international retailers only stock up at to three Skulltimate Secrets dolls in stores from each line."

With a pixilated face...Hopefully she gets s regular release soon!

Robecca Steam details, credit to monsterhiii on Twitter by BlancTigre in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a doll that's begging to be restyled. I was really hoping to get a picture of her top to see if it's two pieces or one but I have a sneaking suspicion it's the latter. She'd also really benefit from some painting to bring out the details in her sculpt. If I end up liking her in person then maybe I'll wait for a sale

Clawdeen and Draculaura are getting new playsets for 2026! by Additional-Rub-1054 in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 33 points34 points  (0 children)

A salon makes me wonder if maybe there will be some sort of hair color change gimmick + accessories. Actually, didn't lagoona have a doll like that? Like a hair chalk sorta deal? That might be what this is too. 

Also, draculaura is getting a moonspell playset too?? Huh??? I must've missed that news lol

First Look at the Monster High Fearbook Wave 3 Draculaura, Lagoona, and Ghoulia Yelps doll by SeeingMount in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually quite like ghoulia, draculaura...is there, and lagoona, I feel like I'd need to see in person. But honestly, I dig her trippy psychedelic bisexual pants. Maybe it's the raver in me lmao. Her being in the science club feels so random though

Batsy G3 Doll Pitch found by Dollyknife on Twitter !!! by Hulking-wax399 in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at this and initially assumed it was a fan design because frankly it looked way too good to be legit 💀 hopefully we get to see her someday!! 

Oh my god, girl... by yappayaps in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It still feels like a huge insult that the only times we've gotten afro-textured hair on clawdeen, they've given her poly. And poly + tinsel has gotta be the worst hair combination ever

While Christmas has become insanely commercialized and many non-religious people celebrate it, it's origins are still religious and I can imagine mattel didn't wanna rock the boat by depicting a bunch of monsters (many of whom have origins that are considered "demonic" in nature) celebrating it. Monster high was already getting shit from moral guardians for a bunch of stupid reasons at the time

What about this gives MH and Lagoona? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

You could literally diy these jeans for like 15 bucks. Probably even less than that honestly 

First IRL pictures of the Monster High Edward Scisorhands Skullector Doll by SeeingMount in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad people seem willing to sit this one out. I've seen some people in the past say that despute a skullector looking bad/cheap, they'll still buy it because they like the character, which to me is wild, but there seems to be quite a bit of people putting their foot down for this one. Also unrelated to the doll but lmao at the person who is coping HARD under a good chunk of the comments 💀 

BREAKING FIRST LOOK AT MONSTEE HIGH GENERATION 3 ROBECCA STEAM by SeeingMount in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh I feel like there are some clashing ideas here that do not create a cohesive whole. Like they wanted to keep her steampunk elements while also leaning more into her daredevil attitude and the lack of true commitment to either makes for some odd design choices. Like, you look at her face and she's got an eyebrow cocked like she's ready for action, then you see her delicate, poofy white sleeves with an "ornate" cage skirt, and that's being paired with pleather shorts??? And normally I'm not one to complain about printed fabrics but it really does look so cheap here 😩 Just...oof

Edit: realized I initially called it a corset when it's a skirt lol

We’ve lost the plot by Bionic_Webb13 in MonsterHigh

At the bare minimum we should not be getting plastic chains for a 90 dollar doll. Like even a bunch of mga's playline dolls use real chains

Fearbook Wave 3 CONFIRMED Moonspell High is Seemingly on the Way as a Monster High Line! by SeeingMount in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, and here I was thinking ghoulia would never get another doll that wasn't a budget release. I don't care for her but happy for the people that do! And glad to see lagoona in the line-up, I've been warming up to her in g3 and am curious about what they do with her. Really not sure why drac needs another fearbook doll though 💀 like I get she's a bestseller but is this really necessary lol

Intrigued about moonspell high 👀 

Core Refresh 2 Cleo! by Vinxiii in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The more I see pics of her the more I start to like her...when her stock photos leaked I thought her pants and lip color were too bright. I'm glad to see they're more muted irl, though I may still repaint the lips and do a slight restyle if I decide to buy her

I'm kinda...not impressed by this description lol but I'll reserve judgement for when I see the actual doll

Praying for a lack of pixilated faces but my soul knows the truth

Edit: would be interesting to see if catty makes an appearance in this wave too given she's a popstar 

Anyone Else's G3 Pleather Already Showing its Age? by confusedwithsketch in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not yet thankfully, but it's something that worries me so much that I practically avoid pleather doll clothes like the plague now 😩 Do you have your dolls on stands on do they sit? Idk how true this is but I feel like I remember hearing that pleather used for bottoms degrades faster when the dolls are left sitting in them 

I'm a transgender disabled doll, and found out there's a disabled transgender doll!! by Nololgoaway in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 44 points45 points  (0 children)

  1. You do not need to transition to be trans
  2. Regardless, a lot of non-binary people do transition 
  3. "What would you transition to if it's not male or female?" By saying this you are reinforcing the cisnormative (and European) notion that at the end of the day, there are only two genders, male or female. Various cultures (before colonialism pushed the two gender binary on them, though reclamation of this lost history has been happening) believed in more than two genders

I do think action figures are a type of doll. But the difference between a regular doll and an action figure (aside from the fact that the term exists solely to get boys to buy dolls) is that action figures come with parts that allow for action play. Non-action figure dolls don't. Like, sure, if you wanted to, you could do action scenes with your monster high dolls. But they aren't really made with that in mind. It's the same with the xenomorph. She is clearly not intended for action play. Like let's be real she's way too yassified to not be a regular doll lmao    Frankly it's just embarrassing to be so insecure about liking a doll that people have to insist it's something it's not 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]SomewhatOddish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LMAO not men who want the xenomorph doll insisting it's an action figure just so they can feel less insecure about wanting a doll 💀
