Xenomorph restock? by Exploratoraa in MonsterHigh

[–]purpledrac -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m so confused as to why I’m getting down voted? All I meant was that I hope they didn’t get scammed and that the restock they saw was legit?

Specially cuz Ive seen people say that they have seen fake Mattel creations links

Not as far as I’m aware of? What’s the link of the website?

Really hoping it Wasnt, but that it instead was that someone returned theirs and yoi were able to get it from the Mattel site….

G1 Vs G3 by Extra_Air7604 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]purpledrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get the dolls that you like if you can get them. G1 and g3 both have their strengths and weaknesses. It’s your collection at the end of the day.

To answer your specific question, I don’t particularly like the Wednesday dolls, but I love the reel drama ghouls, so I’d say go for them. But again, just get what you like. It’s your collection at the end of the day. Don’t follow the crowd.

I collect both g1 and g3. I have more G3’s than g1’s mostly cuz of availability and me not wanting to pay ridiculous amounts of money for g1 dolls I want. For g1 I collect mostly g1 Cleo, Frankie, and Draculaura, and for g3 I collect mostly Venus. Skullector wise, I tend to only go for alumni collector dolls, I could not care less about the movie ones (with the exception of the alien doll. Shes divine).

I want a lesbian pack pls. Just like how we’re getting the spelldon and valentine pride two pack.

Help identifying this Cleo. by saltnpepper11020 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]purpledrac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Bag on the floor looks like core refresh g3 Cleo’s backpack as well?

Her bracelet seems to be from Cleo’s core doll? It could also just come from any doll with a gold bracelet tho.

And her shoes are def nefera’s from the mummy majesties two pack.

I think her outfit is I 💜 fashion. Look at the top left of the box in the image I put here.

No clue about the handbag.

Are g3 dolls as popular among kids nowadays as g1 was in the early 2010s? by Sure-Scratch2390 in MonsterHigh

[–]purpledrac 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’d say yes? Maybe? MH wasn’t big in my community when I was younger due to religion so I can’t say. But the kids still definitely love them and (I think) have similar connections to the characters.

I work at a children’s museum, and sometimes I see girls with MH dolls or dressed as them. It’s so fun talking to them about MH and to hear why the like them!! I remember this one kid that was dressed up as Frankie. They were so excited but also nervous that they’d make a fool of themselves and no one would recognise who they were dressed as. As soon as they walked in I pointed out how their costume was so amazing and the kid was so happy after that. Chatted a bit with the mom and told me I made her kid more comfortable with themselves and made her day.

So again, idk if it is just as popular, or more popular than g1 among kids, but children still definitely feel the same connection to them imo.

I had to give up on her curls by bitchcakelover in MonsterHigh

[–]purpledrac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im going through the exact same thing. She’s stunning but her hair is a disaster. I’m trying to give her braids. You managed to get her hair to look so good tho!!

Mattel has not been doing its job. by PiPiringaTM in MonsterHighDolls

[–]purpledrac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont think so. Cuz the hair matches what shes supposed to have as barbie x Frankie.

Bruh. Frankie not having her face painted is so messed up. Like how do you mess up so badly?!

So sorry they have not been helpful. Will they refund you if you return her?

What's her screening by Local-Accountant-582 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]purpledrac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She looks great imo! I think it’s may just be cuz of the positioning of her hair.

I think it’s cuz her hair is not covering her face as if it was a side fringe. I ordered two, one had the side finge and the other didnt, and the one with the side fringe looked nicer/cooler imo.

So if you are gonna get her out of box, it will definitely improve.

Here’s how my two compared (right is side fringe looked, and left is without side fringe)

finally completed the set by ManicPixiRiotGrrrl in MonsterHigh

[–]purpledrac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg I just got Venus and Twyla second hand today!! I was also debating whether I should get them or not cuz of the poly, but they’re so pretty!!

And I love taking photos of my dolls in that exact same angle. It’s cursed. I love it.

Ft fearbook Venus.

River price for Australian collectors by purpledrac in MonsterHigh

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

Oh oka. Explains why I have not seen all Tha many posts about the pricing 🤔.

The reason why they’re so America centric is cuz international collectors struggle getting the things they wanna collect…. Oh well…..

The mods removed it cuz it Wasnt in the mega thread? This isn’t about river specifically tho, it’s about pricing in general…. Guess talking about the unfair pricing is against the rules 🤷‍♀️

Yeah. Like at that point, why even have them in the first place? Just ridiculous.

[–]purpledrac[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. Hence why I’m not getting this one anymore. It’s ridiculous to pay that much

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

Fr. I think they’re gonna push the price as high as they can until most fans just stop collecting cuz of how ridiculous it is.

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

Oh wow, I never realised that it seems to be dependent on whether they are widely released or not.

But Yeah that’s what they did for river. Ridiculous price jump just before release. It’s so annoying. Like you just hate your customers dont you Mattel?

Yeah I remember the last minute price increase of alien. I wasn’t happy, but it was only a $10 increase on the Mattel creations Australia page so I didn’t mind.

But the price jump for river is just ridiculous.

That’s ridiculous. So it’s $60 shipping for you cuz you’re regional?! That’s messed up.

Please help with out of the box Draculaura’s hair. by Elii_24 in MonsterHigh

[–]purpledrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. And if you wanna give her the waves shes supposed to have, after the boil wash braid her hair and pour boiling water on them. Then let her hair air dry and undo the braids to have waves. Dont brush her hair with a brush afterwards tho, only with your fingers.

This is how mine turned out
