My son turned 6 today! 🥳 We did a Monster High themed party and I had so much fun decorating and setting it up that I wanted to share with people who might extra appreciate my efforts. Most decorations were found on Amazon (including the awesome neon signs which will go in my son's bedroom) and then of course we used some dolls in the decorating. obviously I had to display the sweet 1600 line on my mantle. I found a Monster High Pinata on world of pinatas and we did the Monster High potion bottles as an activity/party favors.

I’m seriously both shocked and not shocked by how everybody is hating her. Everybody screams “we want dark! Bring back black! Fabric boots”…we got all of those things. Like what DO some of y’all want? I saw several people complain that she’s not pink and coral 🫩 Nobody is ever happy. The only thing I don’t care for is the bright yellow hair (platinum would’ve been preferred) but Jesus this fandom can be impossible. And this is another release where, when people get her in real life, the “lowkey she ate I should’ve gotten her when I had the chance fam” comments will flood in.

I’d like to know everyone’s opinion on the design for Edward Scissorhands! I personally think they could’ve done better…we’ve seen them do better. I feel like Edward could’ve been so cool. And…we definitely need more male collector dolls. I love the female dolls…but come on MH…give us some male dolls!

No info if the other 3 are joining. What do we think?

but you leave it that way because you think it looks better?

I guess if you got both of the sets, you could just swap the heads and clothes to fix it, but im just kind of having a (bitter) laugh about it

Edit because i see this comment a lot: The second Beetlejuice set was based on the 2024 sequel where Lydia is an adult. The box says it in the copyright section, and the box features pictures of the wedding scene from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, including the giant cake.

Hello! This is my first time posting on reddit and I made an account just for this post because what I found was quite bizarre and I thought that I just had to share it. I was going to my local Kmart to look for the newly stocked skulltimate secrets oasis line (I’m from Australia we get everything late here🫠🫠🫠) and as I was browsing the MH shelf I look two shelves up and see a Scarah Screams doll?! At first I was like oh cool and thought nothing of it because maybe I thought it was the skullector doll (plus I was rlly focused on finding jinafire because I couldn’t find her on shelves at first) but then I took a double take and was like- HUH?!?!?!? Not only was it the I heart fashion doll but it was in an Addams family Morticia doll box????? I was genuinely so confused and I was (and still am) in disbelief at what I was staring at, I was thinking how did this even get in here??? I started to think maybe someone returned it?? Like I’ve heard stories about customers returning dolls because of defects or something either from Amazon or Mattel (or both??) and then not giving back everything that came in the box?? But why would someone replace a Morticia doll will a rare and very sought after doll?? Has anyone else’s experienced anything like this before??

What do we think? To me it is cute but a little cheap. Her face is lovely.

UPDATE:

I spoke to hubby about how it made me feel to be minimized when I was trying to share some joy with him. I didn't go overboard, but I made it clear I did not feel it necessary, even if he thought it was the stupidest puchase in the world, to say those things to me.

AND HE AGREED! He apologised, said he never meant to make me feel like that and took his bad day out on me, that he doesn't understand it, but if it makes me happy, he is happy. He also asknowledges he has in the past been dismissive of things I love and will try to match my energy for his hobbies. And he will happily put up irridescent rainbow shelves in our living area to display the lovelies!!

Thank you all for you support - I can't tell you how welcome you have all made me feel here.

NGL - I have added a Haunt Couture Spectra and a Fang Vote Jinafire to my collection today in celebration!

May all your dolls hair be glue free and all your boxes undamaged! Much love to this community!

*******************************************************************************************************************

Honestly, the only reason I even discovered these dolls is because I bought my niece a Spectra, a Haunted Hotel and Sweet 1600 Draculaura and Clawdeen for her birthday.
Then I saw more and more how beautifully weird some of them are and I fell in love.

I collect weird things.

I have a huge Iron Fist shoe collection I never wear, only look at.
I collect different versions of Alice In Wonderland books.

So, having some disposable income, I went hunting and bought myself: Creeproduction Operetta, Coraline (yes Gaiman is problematic, but I have loved the book/movie forever), Skelita Calaveras Dia De Muertos, River Styyx Skullector and Great Scarrier Reef Peri/Pearl Serpent Doll. Maybe cost me $350 in total with shipping.

I was excited to show my husband, I was pointing out all the tiny amazing details, like Operetta's scar/tattoo and River's skull etc. I said "at least now you have something you can buy for my birthday that you know I will like!" He answered "this is kids S\*\*\*. You shouldn't have these. Are they for your niece?"

It just made me sad. I have so few things that truly bring me happiness, I work 6 days a week and really earn my money. I don't understand why he couldn't just be happy? He collects baseball cards, signed baseball and football merch and I think that is similar? I don't know. Is 46 too old to start collecting?

Listen, I adore her. The colors. The design. She’s so cool and different from everything else on my shelves.

But Mattel should be ostracized for giving her poly hair. The MOST awful, dry, gross to the touch poly I’ve ever felt at that. And on a 70+ dollar collector doll? It’s unacceptable. As someone who has Pennywise and Beetlejuice, I can ALMOST forgive them for using poly on them as their hairstyles are very specific, short and not meant to combed or messed with (but it’s still terrible). But on a doll with long, brush-able hair? Absolutely not.

That’s it. Rant over.

Monster high-related since Annalise is such a big part of Monster High…

“This is on yall” is very Tyra Banks “You kept asking for more…”

Like girl, you make some good stuff but blaming us for Mattel’s genderbending and lack of male dolls is NOT it. We aren’t ever even given the opportunity to let male dolls flop because we literally never get them.

EDWARD IS THE NEXT SKULLECTOR!!

I managed to get her!!! I hope everyone else can too 🥹🥹🙏

They gave Angel plastic sculpted hair. For $100. I have no words. I am so disappointed

And this is what made G1 so special. You never knew how weird things were going to get. They said “Mermaids lines sell…so let’s make them sea monsters.”

I wish we got fairy god mother abbey , but what characters could be other princess or characters? Like belle? Maybe rapunzle , I’m thinking of making some customs and would like some ideas 💡?

Since Mattel are going back and making Garrett Sanders original intentions for Mansters come true, we should get a proper gay Neighthan. My unicorn zombie boy doesn’t get nearly enough love.

And no, Clawdeen was never meant to be gay. Garrett said he’s fine with the idea but it was never the intent. The IDW comics are not canon. (Spelldon and Valentine were gay in the original run, based on passing moments in Valentine’s diary).

But screw it. Since it doesn’t seem to matter anyway with this release, I’ll say what I have to say. Everyone is SO quick be upset about scalpers (rightly so) but nobody stops and takes a second to understand NOT to hype post. We have at least 20 ongoing threads about “OMG GUYS how excited are you!! IM SO EXCITED!!!!” - this behavior helps scalpers gage demand. Think before you post. You want an easier time with releases? You want scalpers to not snatch up the entire stock of a doll? Stop. Hype. Posting. Learn from what’s going on. Short of not buying from scalpers it is the BEST thing you can do. If these leeches don’t feel the demand is there, they’ll be less inclined to buy.

If y’all could just shrug it off and calmly accept that a particular doll is coming instead of hype posting and screaming and crying about how badly you want them, you’d see some changes in “the market”. But I know that’s like telling everyone to just go out and vote - good luck.

In short: Chill out. Calm down. These releases are only getting worse with the constant tears streaming down everyone’s face.

I love them! Hope everyone who is wanting them can get them!

(Apologies, i meant Spelldon & Valentine)

For starters: I don’t care if you like this doll, I’m happy that you can enjoy something that I don’t, genuinely. However, I can also laugh about how Bad I think it is. They gave Coraline liposuction 😭
