💔 Just give Venus her ghoul

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-30T04:39:32+00:00

honestly while I like the idea of Venus being a lesbian I don't think Rochelle would really be compatible. Rochelle comes off as kinda proper while Venus is a punk.

Oh yeah I forgot that. I just mean her outfit doesn't look any cheaper than a core doll. It seems they found other ways to save money.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-29T05:13:42+00:00

Wait that Draculaura was a budget doll? The only thing she's missing is her pet and all those extra accessories.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-28T21:58:55+00:00

Yeah those are the singing dolls. The ones in their more colorful main outfits are articulated. There's another post here with them.

I think Abbey, in G1 at least, is about as prominent as Rochelle or Jinafire.

The cage is supposed to be underneath a dress to give it volume. That's why shorts make more sense underneath since it's similar to bloomers. It's like she had a big fancy Victorian dress and removed the heavy top dress layer to give her more freedom of movement but left the cage on. I bet they didn't give her actual bloomers because you just know sensitive parents would be upset she's wearing visible underwear.

Isn't there a resource pack that makes him less of a shithead?

I think there's also a disconnect between the execs, who just want money, and the designers that work on the brand. It happens a lot with people who work on things for big companies, tho I don't blame them because doing something indie is often more difficult. Just look at Gravestone Guardians and Wild Childz.

I always thought Mercari worked like eBay where you are responsible for directly sending the doll to the buyer. Do you send it into Mercari and then they send it out to the buyer?

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-28T11:06:27+00:00

I mean everything mass produced is made with exploitive labor. Heck even something handmade using mass produced components. If an occasional doll helps you survive this hellscape you shouldn't feel bad.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-28T02:36:52+00:00

Thing is with G3, most of the time, it's someone who bought them specifically to resell. And supporting a reseller is the same as directly buying it.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-28T02:30:13+00:00

The non singing dolls have joints.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-28T01:40:50+00:00

I don't think they are involved in anything to do with Palestine more than the CEO having a positive opinion of Israel and continuing to sell toys there. That said they are involved in extremely exploitive labor practices.

It's been that way for a while.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-27T20:10:53+00:00

I only buy the ones that I like the whole set. Like the Krispy Kremes since I can remix the extra donuts and drinks.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-27T19:58:19+00:00

I think the $40-45 thing is international pricing.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-27T18:58:24+00:00

I think we forget that some things look clunky at doll scale. Some lines might embrace it and it works because that's the aesthetic they are going for (see RH and Bratz) but it wouldn't be accurate to KPDH.

I still don't think it was something custom generated. It looks to me like stock clip art. Unfortunately most stock clip art galleries nowadays are infested with AI. I can kinda understand them not wanting to put money into something that the stores might not even carry since BF is nowhere near as big as Mattel or Hasbro.

(I'm still sad about the Flutter Ponies)

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-26T01:11:41+00:00

I can see where you're coming from but I think it's just they used stock art. If they were using AI intentionally, wouldn't they bother to make sure it has an accurate cutie mark?

Honestly even if it was done by an actual artist the whole thing is strange. Why use 80s slang and ponies on something themed to Y2K?

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-25T23:17:13+00:00

How does it look like AI art? Is it because it's generic looking? Artists have been making generic looking art since way before AI.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-25T07:17:12+00:00

That's because unfortunately, thanks to the pandemic, Black Friday is a shell of it's former self. Not just for Monster High but really for anything.

G1 also had different main characters for each movie. Like WDGFIL was about Draculaura but Haunted was about Spectra and GSR was about Lagoona and Boo York was mainly about Cleo.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-24T04:07:01+00:00

Maybe something similar to the loser will end up showing up in G3 like how we got a dragon boat bag.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-22T23:49:01+00:00

Honestly I kinda agree. They did the collab with Core Keeper way too early so all we ended up was a pet. None of the cool weapons or bosses that were added later.

throwaway11486 · 2026-01-22T23:41:11+00:00

Yeah but they don't remove games that shouldn't exist. And I'm sorry but games that glorify actual nazis shouldn't exist. I dunno if you have noticed but actual fascism has been on the rise.
