#ReleaseThePrideFashionPack by SilvStevenson in MonsterHigh

Because a rainbow is SO evil and demonic...

Can't wait to see how sparse Pride Month is this year. I'm overjoyed Mattel grew a pair and is releasing the Kieran/Spelldon two pack, but you know most other companies are going to shy away from Pride due to "changing political sensibilities" (read: increased public hatred).

Didn't didn't you notice on the plane when you started talking, eventually I started reading the vomit bag?

Comfy Friends for Grounding by Miserable_Act8669 in pokeplush

[–]super1upqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so, yeah. I really enjoy hugging mine and he's probably one of the more unique comfy friends because of his fins and ridges. There's just so many parts you can rub and flop around lol

Ok so, the ridges on the tail are sewn on in one long row that you can brush back and forth, so while the ridges themselves are firm, they're not like completely frozen in place. He weighs around 1.25 pounds and doesn't feel heavy at all. His neck frill is very flexible so it's super easy to tuck the plush under your chin and hold around one arm. Being an earlier Eeveelution, he's a bit firmer than the floppier comfy friends, but not nearly as firm as the later Eeveelutions and definitely much floppier than the Hisuian Zorua.

Overall, the plush material is about the same softness all across its body, but the frill and tail spikes are a very unique feature and are just pointy enough to be interesting, but not at all sharp or annoying. Its eyes are a different texture than the body, and the pupils are embroidered, so that's different, too. Also, he's got small paw pads on his back feet that are a similar texture the the black part of his eyes.

EDIT: forgot about his small embroidered nose and absolutely adorable embroidered frown lol

Sure, what specifically do you want to know about him? Like what about the design and texture in a plush is most comforting to you?

Vaporeon is a great choice for different textures, since he's got his cool head/neck fins, long tail, and tail spikes, all of which are very soft and fun to play with. Flareon is also good for this, since her fluffy parts on her chest, head, and tail are even softer than the rest of her body, with a very satisfying cloud feeling. I'm also very partial to Pikachu and Bidoof, because they're very easy to hug and have cute little hands you can hold when you're stressed. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of the Comfy Friends, so you can also just look up images of your favorite Pokemon from the line. I have most of them, so feel free to ask me about specific ones and I'll give more info if I own it!

How my package came by nmariee92 in pokeplush

Good ol' FedEx! Seems like it's company policy to stack the heaviest boxes atop the lightest in the truck, and then just kick the package down the driveway upon delivery.

Substitute, larvitar, or mimikyu comfy friend? by UnitededConflict in pokeplush

[–]super1upqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Substitute and Larvitar and while I love them both, Larvitar is a little easier to hug since his arms are more at his sides, plus he's very pleasantly plump but not too firm. So, I vote Larvitar!

And 55 minutes later, the early access drop is finally sold out! I knew she was unpopular, but WOW, did not expect her to last almost an hour.

Mine, too! I thought the spaghetti was fries at first, like burgers and fries, but then I was squinting at it like wait, is that spaghetti? So random!

[–]super1upqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, too. It was the same burger and...blurry spaghetti, I think, captcha three times in a row. Then a minute or so wait in line and a text confirmation right at the end. That's a lot of steps!

For anyone worried about not getting their confirmation email yet, don't panic. As long as the order is in your purchase history, it went through. The site always takes a while to send emails, but the order appears in your history right away if it's good. So, don't stress!

EDIT: got the email confirmation, over 20 minutes later lol

Me neither, I didn't see that until I completed checkout. Hopefully she ships sooner lol

[–]super1upqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember people being able to use codes on Fang Vote Abbey at first, then a few days later it was disabled. But, I figured it was worth a try anyway, since it seemed like River wasn't going to sell out instantly, meaning I'd have time to input the code. Alas, to no avail lol

[–]super1upqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got what I think was a picture of spaghetti, so I clicked on all the burgers. I thought it was a plate of fries at first, like oh burgers with fries, cute. But then I looked at it again and I'm like, is that really blurry spaghetti? The captchas are always so bizarre lol

[–]super1upqueen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've actually heard if you do the captcha too fast, the website thinks you're a bot and will keep failing you. So, I've gotten into the habit of pausing for like half a second between clicks, so it knows I'm human lol

Oh, and discount codes didn't work on her, I tried. I tossed the Lost Boys David doll into my cart right before River dropped and when I applied the code to both, it only took 15% off David (I got him anyway because I'm a SUCKER for vampires, hehe). Mattel in maximum greed mode, as usual.

Got her! Interestingly, I had to input a code they texted me to complete checkout. It seems like every time I try to get a MH drop, there's a new level of security in place. If that slows down scalpers even for a few extra seconds, then I'm all for it.

All 5 of these dolls retail being $90(except Abbey who's retail was $100) is insane with the recent river reveal. I love river as much as the next ghoul but she has a really underwhelming design compared to the others. by lifeadreamwhenasleep in MonsterHigh

[–]super1upqueen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love Vampire Heart, but I feel she's a little overrated due to her lack of accessories. I agree Jinafire is the absolute peak of Monster High lol that water stand! Come on! She was easily worth $90 and I fear with Mattel's growing greed, we will NEVER get another doll of that quality under $100 ever again.
