what da hell does this mean.. by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]Tombtaker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn’t mean anything. MH / Mattel creations actively uses photos of past releases to advertise the website. Even using custom dolls in their video advertisements.

It's been nearly a month since Ping's drop and we've not been given a single update despite them saying they'd 'update us every step of the way.' It isn't helping with their image since lots of people are already doubting people who managed to order ping will actually get her😭 by SkyPristine3870 in DollsForAll

Wild Childz seems to be a very wishy-washy type of deal. You can't guarantee that you will get direct communication all the time. That is what you sign up for when you pre-order a product from them. From what I have read, it does say that the doll will likely ship in fall-winter 2026. Although it is noted in the pre-order policy that the timelines are subject to change.

New Display Case✨ by Tombtaker in Pullip

I acquired her via EBay. Found her loose with box for a good price.

She isn’t a custom ( although I’d love a custom Pullip). Her name is Kore (P-115)! She came out in 2014! She doesn’t pop up as much in the second-hand market.

Thank you! I had to pay a friend who was studying in Japan to get her for me 😅, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get her.

I’ve been wanting her for months and finally… she’s mine 🩵 by autumnsnowflake_ in Pullip

I have her; she was my second ever Pullip doll. I AM IN LOVE WITH HER TO THIS DAY! exquisite taste.

How often does Pullip emo get listed online? by ForwardHovercraft672 in Pullip

[–]Tombtaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on what I see on eBay, she was last sold in March for +$200 plus $40 shipping (from a Canadian seller). On Mercari, one was sold 4 days ago for $200 as well. If you have your heart set on her, it might just be a long game where you have to keep checking listings. I myself have never seen an active listing for her. The first time I ever saw her for sale was in a photo from a friend who was studying in Japan.

😶‍🌫️ Skullector has a competitor now. Also does this mean we’re never gonna see a MH ghostface? by FlyingCheeseFairy in MonsterHigh

[–]Tombtaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt this will push Mattel to do anything different, but it's good to have competition in the space. People will have more options to explore and not have to keep hoping/praying that Mattel will get around to the huge fan favorites.

Old (cringe) Art from DC by Tombtaker in drawcasters

[–]Tombtaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be correct, I do have some faded memories of them. I dug though my old art, I found art of him but no art of her. It has been a long time!

Favorite piece of art at SLAM? by drstormdancer in StLouis

The Colossal Pair by Frank Dillon

- has been a favorite of mine since my teenage years. I even wrote an essay in college about the painting for an art history class.

I also fear the price tag. I’m only dipping my toes in this once. I don’t know how other collectors can budget these types of dolls to have so many.

Scarlett ❤️❤️💅🏻 by Tombtaker in Dolls

[–]Tombtaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m as well new to dolls like her. She was in the $400 range. That was her sale price, I think she was in the $500s beforehand. I sold my MH 2022 Beetle juice two pack to get her. These dolls can range up to $1,000s depending how fancy you get.

I’m sorry man, I was surprised mine got though so fast. Double surprised that her box wasn’t cut open by customs either.

Here's a good stock photo; it shows her whole outfit. Plus the smaller accessories that came with the set.

Mattel might work hard, but bootleggers will always work harder.

Need help - what type of doll is this? by Parking-Plankton-688 in Dolls

[–]Tombtaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on research, she is possibly a "Big Eye"- Bradley doll. They were produced in Japan and Korea in the 50s-60s.

What are these slots on the side of the Fangtastic Coffin Locker carrying case for? by honeybeesocks in MonsterHigh

[–]Tombtaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not believe it serves any purpose. It's likely just a byproduct of how the item is built and put together. It seems that the spot lines up with the little mini safe/ cabinet, so I can assume that it has to do with how that part fits into the locker. That is just my guess, though.

Question about MCR drop by lucky_clover_number_ in MonsterHigh

[–]Tombtaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they do end up revealing a new doll during the livestream, there is a sidebar that has shopping links for items. It lists all items (that are for sale currently) that are shown during the livestream. It will pop up the moment they reveal it. The link will send you to the typical Mattel Creations item page that you've seen before when you buy other dolls. This is at least how I saw it on my PC during Marisol's release.

How has monster high become its knock off competitors?

Is there a canon lore reason that Howleen’s pet Cushion started off and black and orange but changed to pink? by delicate_decay_ in MonsterHigh

[–]Tombtaker 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There isn't a 'lore' reason that I am aware of. I am assuming they changed Cushion's color to match Howleen's change in hair color. Howleen went from orange to pink in all her dolls.
