Before I go to bed, has anyone here seen the Wild Childz dolls on instagram? I’ll give my thoughts on them tomorrow but I like how the prototypes look, a little out there but I like it

They didn’t? That’s sad to hear, I hope they can get in touch with another manufacturer or some sort of funding, I would like to buy one of them
>>
>>10731819
>>10731864
I'm impress how far they did by themself trying to bring the dolls to retails from the ground up.
But since they already have finished prototypes it would be logical to crowdfund and made-to-order even if they would cost more
>>
>>10732139
I'm surprised they haven't gone that route already
Maybe it's just me, but the dolls just look like they'd appeal more to adult collectors than kids to begin with
>>
>>10732012
>>10732139
they did better in prototyping than curvy girls ever did. Would support them if they decide to go crowd funding.
Also, curvy girls owner is begging in IG right now for a car. I actually want an actual obese 1/6 fashion doll but the people running curvy girls/plus dolls are so inept.
>>
>>10732270
Never heard of that brand, can I get a quick rundown of them? I remember how much of a failure Lammily (if that’s how u spell it) was lol
>>
>>10732139
Yeah I do hope they crowdfund on Backerkit or something. I feel like that will help them know how many dolls they’ll have to make and send out without having to cheap out on quality. I want to get the zebra and panda girl badly.

>>10732216
Yeah, I get that too. It would be cool to have another adult collectors line

>tried to pitch their doll to a retailer, manufacturer, probably failed
>planning to sell it as independent bjd next year. a doll might be 500$+

at this rate i think the owner will croak from obesity complications before finishing the project.
BJD people, how much does a 1/6 scale bjd cost?
>>
>>10732448
BJD's are expensive as fuck, so probably around $300. But then again, those look like they were resin printed, and you can make custom dolls with a 3D printer for... Well, more than the cost of just buying a fucking BJD to begin with. ~$400 for a decent 3D resin printer, plus the cost of resin, so probably like an extra $60-$90. If you want a IPA wash machine, that's like $150, then you also need the curing station, which you can DIY or just buy for an extra $200. So ~700-$800 just to get yourself set up for resin printing.
>>
>>10732448
1/6 scale no longer has economy of scale (no pun intended) with costs of molds and materials, so will cost $300+ low end, $500 mid range or average, and for high grade resins such as french resin, $850-$1,000 easily. In short, the size will not save you any money, especially considering the doll is fat and will use more material. $500 would be reasonable for a small production with proper materials.
>>
>>10732448
This kills me but also makes me laugh because the build for the dolls is cute but goddamn the owner can’t market or do anything for shit
>>
>>10732448

Moonlight Jewel makes her own dolls with 3D resin prints. And if your shipping them out with colored skin tones, clothes, hair, etc… you would probably have to spend over 100 hours just to customize the thing and make its own clothes before sending it out.

Unless their making it a printable and putting the blueprints online, the BJD route is going to be.. interesting nonetheless

This is the lady behind the dolls and omfg this is killing me
>>
>>10732527
Is that the lady that makes video game characters and MH characters and such as custom dolls? If so, I believe she sells the print files online. If you're really so inclined, you can also model the doll yourself, but expect to fuck up a lot in the beginning if you've never printed or modeled before.

>>10732563
Jesus, did she spend all her funding on mcdonalds or something? How do you fuck up so badly?
>>
>>10732570
Yeah, I watch her vids and I love her MH redesign customs. I like the artistry that goes into it, but I don’t currently have the space or money to do a diy bjd print lol. Maybe one day haha
>>
>>10732570
I don’t understand how fat makes someone look so old yet so… orgish
>>
>>10731779
She's cute but I never expected it to get picked up
>>
For years, I've always wanted dolls with a mature, milf type body. Not as fat as >>10732448 but something with a bit more pudge and a lot more T&A than the typical fashion doll. There also needs to be that Hartman hip waist to hip ratio. There's shockingly few dolls that can do the milf look well.

The curvy fashionista body's b-cup bust and bloated waist just doesn't do it. Incredibles 2 Helen is good bodywise, but she's got a very cheap build quality. She also has a huge noggin. The closest doll with milf-esque proportions is probably Bo Peep from Toy Story 4. Great body, but it only comes in pale white and Bo Peep's face is off putting. Of course, Helen & Bo Peep are hard to find clothes for, especially something that doesn't look like a rainbow potato sack. And there's also the fact that there's no good "older" faces that you could headswap with.

Ah, well. My search continues...

Does anyone else get hit by a steadily intensifying wave of anxiety whenever you go doll hunting? Whenever I browse stores I feel like I am under constant attention from all the workers, even if I don't have any intention of doing something bad.

I am a grown adult dammit this is supposed to get easier as I age not harder, it's not like I shy away from being who I am in other situations.
>>
>>10732704
I always feel anxious and awkward when buying dolls, but it's because I'm a male. I found the best strategy is to just act confident, like you're supposed to be there, and just ignore everyone else. Find the doll you want, then buy it at self checkout if you're nervous.

Since it’s doll hair, you might have to pick it back out to an Afro by hand. If that doesn’t work, probably get a small spray bottle and sprit some water on it idk

Since most doll hair is serán (I think that’s how you spell it), it might take a while unfortunately

Aside from the legs popping out, the first ones could bend their arms at a 90 degree angle and even that isn't good enough for me, these ones reportedly can't manage that.

I wish Mattel was still making Disney dolls. I know they're fashion dolls but articulation is a make or break for me.

$300 is on the dirt cheap end for BJDs. They also tend to not be available in 1/6 size in the body shape >>10732448 is looking for. Those dolls would be found in 1/3 and 1/4 sizes. Curvy dolls ARE surprisingly easy to find with BJDs compared to 10-15 years ago, so you can even be picky about what kind of curvy doll you want provided you have the money.

I post videos of vintage barbie stuff, you might have seen it online if you ever like vintage collecting. But I’ll do a review here specifically when I get her. I like the idea of being able to use a vintage black barbie in the 59-65 fashions, and also using her outfits and presents combined with last years 12 days for a nearly full December advent calendar.

Last year I had no idea that pic related got released, despite being a barbie club member. I found out a month AFTER release and it sold out. Ended up paying filthy scalpers for two, and my mom adored hers.

Not going to post it here, but they are simple affairs of just filming and talking to the camera while showing the doll. I don’t have time for tons of editing. Although, one of my review videos made it into a making of the barbie movie video a news company made, so that was exciting for me.

if they're only going to be avaliable for the day that is beyond fucking moronic. imagine being able to just purchase select older runs at any time as a fang club member, that would actually be a pretty good deal for $10 a year, and probably make mattel shitloads of money as well.
they're all just going to sell out again within fucking minutes, maybe an hour being generous. christ i hate the retards at mattel.

There also needs to be that Hartman hip waist to hip ratio. There's shockingly few dolls that can do the milf look well.

you do have to wonder why it hasnt been tried adn why so many fashion dolls are just long legs, apple butt, slim waist, small tits, long arms. A lot of curvy dolls arent even that curvy, they just have insanely small waist.

where are the fat dolls? The stacked pin up dolls? Milfs? Big tits? Where are the really attractive bodies? Really unattractive bodies? Why are so many fashion dolls the same thing with just variations on leg length and waist size?

>>
>>10740167
>Why are so many fashion dolls the same thing with just variations on leg length and waist size?
A lot of dolls are intentionally made within proportions so that they can share clothes with other dolls. A problem with a fat doll like G3 Catty is you're stuck with the one outfit you got, it will be impossible redressing her unless you know how to sew or the etsy sellers start producing outfits

I know mattel was trying to be progressive, but putting several sections of adult male brains into teen girl that has a crush on cleo might be the most perverted thing they could do.

everything about that website sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if everything to do with the website is some neopotism bullshit.

mattel is probably just stupid and wanting to hop on the lbgt bandwagon without giving it much thought.

They probably thought "hurp durp, we'll make her from girl and boy parts so she doesn't have a gender so now she is non binary, hurp durp, please buy our products lbgters!"

There is no way they gave any thought to the lore implications of a frankenstein monster with the body of a teen girl, some body parts from men and some brain parts from adult men, women and teen men and women.

The people that make these decisions probably don't watch horror movies, read horror or scifi movies, know about gender kink stuff or lbgt stuff. its probably some 60 year old man drinking coffee in a suit thinking "how do we get d'm lbgt's to buy more product?"

personally, I like it. Its really slocky and trashy in a 1980s direct to vhs horror movie way. Like I can imagine some crap like this being played on a Saturday night on USA Up All Night. BUT its pretty cringe as a form of representation.

That kind of highlights the problem with something like monster high. They really straddle the fence on if the characters are horror characters. Like they are all just fun besties, going to school, going to the mall, laughing and giggling....but....some of these characters have probably killed or watched their family be killed.

>>
>>10740599
>you take this too seriously, go away

Anon, thats the branding. And they want people to drop $25 to $30 a pop on these dolls. The branding, lore, characterization is most of the product for monster high. Its why you would buy them over any other doll. You buy them because they are classic universal monsters. If you don't care about that, OMG and Shadow both have dolls with bright colors and similar clothes. They even have a doll similar to cleo. If you want zero lore, there are a few 100 barbies with zero background.

>>10740587
>its probably some 60 year old man drinking coffee in a suit thinking...
No doubt it's by committee at some point, and I would agree with you that they probably didn't give it that much thought. Frankenstein was to be a serious horror psychological thriller. Its extreme body horror. Now it's watered down, but the concept of putting (direct or implied) adult men into a grade-school girl in order to form her crosses the line into questionable material. I would argue that even 'Dracula' with the lore of killing people is more watered down, re: see kids getting into FNAF. Thats the extent of my eyebrow raising.
>>
>>10740604
The cartoon barely effects the dolls, at most they sometimes have episodes correlate outfits or certain characters get paired together in a box, but beyond that the "deep lore" does not really matter.

>The cartoon barely effects the dolls, at most they sometimes have episodes correlate outfits or certain characters get paired together in a box, but beyond that the "deep lore" does not really matter.

the heman cartoon didn't effect the toys. Nor the shera cartoon. Or the pony cartoon. Or any of the barbie cartoons. Or the JEM cartoon. Or really any toyline that has a cartoon. The toys are usually being pumped out in china before the design sketches are handed to the comic or cartoon team and told to be added to the cartoon/comic.

But the lore is why people remember most of this stuff, except for something like barbie, that existed for decades before getting any media.

Good to know. I used to buy BJDs so I'm capable of waiting several months between order and shipping, but just surprised Mattel is so bad at this because I'm assuming their dolls aren't made to order. I'm just ordering a couple of the looks barbies, nothing crazy.

>>10740738
What is it that you don't like about them?
>>
>>10732704
Yes, I usually buy online wherever possible but if I do buy in store I try to be as quick as possible and self check out, I live in a small town and know people who work at the store that I don't want to have to explain myself to. I often buy a gift bag or a gift ribbon with the doll, so if anyone pays me any attention they just assume I'm buying a gift for a child in my life, and all the presents I do give away are super pretty.

No, that's me and I only call it out when it's adult posters calling underage characters attractive. Notice how none of the pedos ever talk about adult characters like Barbie being attractive. We have a whole containment thread here on /toy/ where you can go proudly and loudly be a pedo as much as you like but you insist on continuously defending it here no matter how many times you get banned.

Not anymore, I think it’s just in general easier for me to browse in public since I’m a girl but also it’s been easier to be open about collecting dolls since my parents know about it now and they never really made any big deal about it, like I’m sure they still find it odd but as long as I have a job and don’t turn into a hoarding case they just find it harmlessly eccentric. It helps that my brother is a huge fuck up so I really can’t look bad in comparison.

Doll Coomer here. I don't want flat chested, scrawny loli dolls. Nor do I want boxy torso, A-cup angst modern Barbie dolls. I want fucking sexy dolls. Dolls like Draculara & Abby with thicc, wide birthing hips.

And nobody is giving us TEH SEXY besides Integrity (too expensive) and Monster High. Everything that MGA puts out has ugly bobble heads. Rainbow High, OMG, & Bratz. Hasbro's dolls are a joke with low quality and shit articulation. And everyone else is just producing low effort kiddy dolls from the latest kiddy show. You don't see your "pedos" talking about Gabby's Dollhouse dolls, do you?

So yeah, MH is the only doll line on the mass market that's giving us coomers what we want, Tits & Ass. That's not pedo. Maybe you should go hang out on one of /jp/'s doll threads. Throw around "Pedo" & "Scrote" onto those Azone & Obitsu doll collectors. I think they deserve those titles more than us all-American coomers here on the doll general.

Some guy on the barbie forum got the 2023 12 days of Christmas barbie and here’s their review

Just got my 12 Days doll!! It came in a Mattel shipper. I was so excited I nearly dropped the box coming in, lol. I'm not going to fully unpack her until after Thanksgiving, but I have some preliminary thoughts:

1) The doll itself is stunning!! Just what I'd hoped for my first AA vintage sculpt. The screening is excellent and the hair (which I'll never undo) is lovely. Love her!!

2) The box is underrated, IMO. It's super heavy, beautifully made, and lined on the inside with holiday paper. The drawers are hard to open at first, but I wasn't afraid of breaking them. You really don't need to buy more than one box, because it's clearly made to last.

3) The fabric for the outfits is fine but not great, IMO. The green outfit feels like it should be lined (it isn't) and they didn't bother to give her a top under the hostess gown. The slacks seem nice. The red wrap dress has cute bows on top but otherwise could be a Looks dress. Overall last year's outfits seemed more Holiday luxe (at least in photos).

4) The accessories (most of which I left in the bags for now) were cute. The nutcracker is adorable, and the wreath with gilded pine cones was surprisingly nice. The tea set was nice, but not as cute as last year's Santa mugs. Oh, and the necklace and bracelet seemed less "molded" and nicer IRL than the promo pix (though I may still replace them).

ehh, cool down there bro. Read the room. Just say you like the doll or think its cute. No reason to go this hard. You could always make a pervy doll thread just for yourself and see if others want to talk about it. No reason to perv up this thread so hard.

Also, for what it is worth, barbie does make some curvy adult dolls. Look into the Barbie looks 12 and a few others. If you put some work into finding good clothes you can design some steamy stuff.

Look at this person's photos. You wouldn't believe this is cheap sup $30 mattel doll.

man, G3 MH is so cute when you get them some less busy looking clothes. I wonder what the story is on why the brand representation is so random in G3. It really feels like the box art, cartoon design, clothes design and the body designs are all separate people that dont talk to each other. I never liked how skinny the bodies were in G1 but the cohesive design between all formats and all the little details in the clothes was on fire.

I'm just robbing clothes off of rainbow and omg dolls that go on clearance. The budget frankie is also showing up at Ross for about $13 or $14 if you want the G1 outfit for her. I can usually split the clothes between my MH and barbie stuff and then give the OMG/Rainbow dolls away or sell them in a lot to a customizer.

I agree, like Draculaura's ass is VERY large. Bless whoever designed the actual body molds which strayed from the concept art by making them more sexy.

Remember when there used to be awesome Black Friday deals on dolls in the past? The $10 MH deals were my favorite. What happened to stuff like that? Hardly any dolls have been included in BF sales the past few years and it's always shitty prices, just a few dollars off normal price.

I've seen people rebody bratz on EAH. Pic related is my rebody on hasbro disney descendants..

>>10741656
G3 was developed during covid. Designers really were doing their own thing at home and then meet up in Mattel's parking lot and show each other the progress.

>>10741080
Reiterating what I've said multiple threads ago,
MGA picks bobble heads because if their dolls looked "hot", their dolls would be quickly pulled off shelves for "sexualization".
There are videos of Karens complaining about some MGA dolls dressing like hookers. Said Karens made Barbie ugly and dress frumpy btw.
Go drool and coom over your MH dolls, just keep it to yourself and don't spazz about that here lmao.

>>10741569
>G1 had an exaggerated skinny model aesthetic.
That's why I am calling it double standard. Both G1 and G3 bodies are exaggerated.
G3 has really tiny torsos in proportion to the legs, hips and head. where are the organs? Crammed in the hips and legs? Do they have lipedema?
Also I am Asian. The average body types here really are closer to G1 than G3. Even Draculaura's live action actress who grew up in the west is relatively "thick".
You are also nuts and coom brained if you think the average girl has G3 bodies lmao.
Kardashians popularizing tummy tuck and bbl really ruined people's "normal".
>>
>>10741714
>bratz on ever after high

Also forgot to add, by using unsexy bobble heads, MGA can focus on the doll's fashion more.
Imagine if the storm twins had realistic proportions... Parents would be seething
>>
>>10741718
>>
>>10741534
Ngl, kinda tempted to try to get my hands on a Ghoulia. I already have her, but she's got the elastic band hips and they're completely fucked

>>10741614
I feel like if they're bringing any of the Brand-Boo Students back it'd almost certainly be Isi
>>
>>10741722
They are definitely not bringing back Isi
>>
>>10741718
>>10741719
Ehhh, the outfits are cute, but I’m not feeling the legs. Bratz work best with the big chunky shoes
>>
>>10741714
>>10741718
>>10741719
love these. i don't know anything about disney dolls at all, could you point me in the right direction for which ones i should be looking for? ive never even glanced at descendants before now
>>
>>10741845
you have to look for these. probably no longer produced. So you'd have to get them 2nd hand.
I like them because they can wear RH/SH shoes
only the first one is the disney descendants btw, the next dolls are ever after high.

>>10741722
>>10741724
they can bring back Isi but overhaul her to be more accurate to her culture. Although it could backfire, saw a north east Indian complain about g3 Abbey just earlier at doll twitter..
G3 Abbey doll's sculpt was obviously based on her G1 doll, "muh diversity and inspired by Nepali" thing the designer said was bs.
>>
>>10741873
I mean obviously she's going to have some inspiration from her G3 doll but her face is very much not G1 Abbey, thats dumb. Honestly they need to collaborate with a specific tribe for Isi if they want to do it right, otherwise I'd just shelf Isi as a character and use the deer base for someone new.
>>
>>10741884
I didn't say she is G1 abbey. It's g1 but cutified + bigger ears and new horns. I do not see ethnic features.
I also said
> actual North East Indian called out Mattel's BS
>>
Any clue on when the MH restock will be?
>>
>>10741687
They clearanced them out to get them off shelves so they can put up other bullshit for the holiday. I've gotten 3 of the creepover dolls for 9 and 3 of the wave 1 dolls for 7 to 10 from Walmart clearance area. There is no logic behind it. One Walmart has Cleo for 10, another has her for 26.

For what it is worth a lot of Ross stores have budget box howleen and Frankie for like 13. Tjmaxx has budget box drac for 15. Big lots has them for 18

The funny thing about this, if you have daughters or nieces, is at least half of little girls, like the way "hookers" and "sluts" look. Their eyes gravitate to those types of women like little boys gravitate to adult men in combat gear or giant robots or dinos. They like the big hair, the flashy colors, etc. Dolly pardon has famously replied when asked about her clothing choices that she thought the town hooker was the prettiest woman in town. My sister's and cousins daughter all thought Jessica rabbits song is the best part of the movie.

It's weird. It's not sexual for kids but they want dolls that would be considered hot by adults. Imo it's just a kids survival instincts to look for healthy adults to learn from and get protection from. That would explain the characters kids gravitate to. They are all healthy.

MH sale was an absolute fuckup lol, shit didn't even load on the page for ten minutes and when it finally did turned out some folks had already dug up the available products and bought them out. Cool job mattel

Great use of my 10$, I expected nothing less.

>MH sale was an absolute fuckup lol, shit didn't even load on the page for ten minutes and when it finally did turned out some folks had already dug up the available products and bought them out. Cool job mattel

I don't know why Mattel won't update their checkout software to something newer that doesn't work with shoe sniping apps
>>
>>10741950
Because it doesn't matter to them if a scalper bought it. It's actually better for them. Scarcity and overpricing drives up demand. It's why they get away with charging 50$ for Stitched in Style that could have been a 25$ Target drop
>>
I'm actually not even sure the scalpers won today. Checking ebay I see like 5 new listings and none for Creepo/Haute
>>
>>10741964
Yeah, I'm seeing people theorizing that only 3 dolls were actually available to buy. But they pushed 13 dolls into the "favorites return" just most were already sold out when it loaded. Unless they are planning to restock randomly dunno why those other 10 are in there.
>>
>>10741967
Could be they had 1-2 dolls leftover and the amount was so minuscule it didn't even make it to the scalpers. Could also be they're doing a layered drop at different times? I dunno, I got a change-checker spamming to see if the Sold Out text changes that I'll leave running today just in case. But I think the scummy 'had 1 extra doll so it made it look like we did a lot :)' is more likely.
>>
>>10741955
I hate to say it but they could learn something from Hasbro or even jakks. Hasbro will put out more product 2 years later with their expensive stuff. Fort max, deviststor and sky lynx have all gotten second runs years after they sold out. Jakks will short pack the best figs so that scalpers eat them up but they will release them again a few waves later.

Mattel is just sowing bad will with this crap. They make tons of cheap shit fashionista dolls with no articulation and make so much of them they have to push piles of them to ROSS. The clothes on many of their better dolls look stupid. They hide their best stuff on their website and it sells out to scalpers.

The more I think about the more I want to boycott them
>>
I have seen 0 evidence on Twitter or the scalper bot discord or ebay that the Haunt Couture, Reel Drama or Creeproductions actually dropped.
>>
>>10741973
Hm now I'm seeing more evidence that resellers got the direct links. So yeah, tiny amounts available, scalpers got to them first, so fast that actual fans never even saw them available and doubted they were ever actually listed.
At least the dolls I wanted didn't actually seem to be listed. I would've liked another shot at Freak du Chic Draculaura but she wasn't at the top of my list.

look at statistics per country and the obesity rate is nothing in comparison to western countries.
Also covid deaths is way lower in Asia than US because you guys are fat and unhealthy.
Another anon also mentioned
>i feel like fashion standards are shifting again to more skinny, less diverse and hyper feminity
Thank you ozempic and fat activists getting sick and dying young.

>>10741935
rip to that anon who finally bought fang club for the sale

unfortunately i'm not remotely surprised

>>10741906
What ethnic features does she need

To the anon complaining about Mattel creations not shipping, contact their customer service. I sent a whiny complaint and it shipped out as soon as they sent it. This is the second time this has worked, god I hate that website.
>>
>>10742019
>What ethnic features does she need

she doesn't Mattel is just trying to get easy money by adding text to a webpage.

hurp durp abbey is actually nonwhite
hrup durp Frankie is actually lbgt

gib us duh money. moneyz plz
>>
>>10741906
No yeah I was referring to that Twitter whoever was dumb, like no duh the design is gonna still be familiar to G1 Abbey, really just the fashion could have reflected Nepali fashion more but good luck getting Mattel to put effort into fashion anymore.
>>
>>10741935
I'm just so goddamn done with Mattel and their shitty drops. The lack of clear information, the lack of blocking scalpers, the shitty way you can go through the goddamn check out process all the way and then get "sold out" - it's just all so infuriating that I'm all out of shits to give.

Yes, I wanted some of those dolls they listed. But was I really expecting or even hoping to get any? Not really, no. This first year of Fang Club has been pretty worthless, and this fail of a sale just kills the interest.
>>
>>10742060
>really just the fashion could have reflected Nepali fashion more but good luck getting Mattel to put effort into fashion anymore.

talk about dooming something straight to the shelf at ROSS
>>
>>10742081
I’m not saying straight up Nepali copy and paste, just like patterns, some jewelry inspired by it, shit like that, be clever about it
>>
>>10741911
For the Creepros, Paulsmart said they’ll get restocks in 2024, as for the regular G3 dolls, I’m not sure.
>>
>>10742081
the shirts looks cute, like nice sweaters. But Mattel wouldn’t touch quality with a 10 foot pole

they've given the design jobs to werid fat nonbinaries that probably never played with them much. or they had a busted thriftstore barbie that they would put an old sock on.

I'm late to this party. I have a descendant that I am not particularly attached to. Was it a 1:1 swap or did you have to finadle with the head?

I haven't seen this talked about but there are new Mini Brands Fashion bags and accessories out. I was walking through Target and saw this display that looked different from the other Mini Fashions, but I was confused since it didn't list itself as series 2 or 3 or whatever. Turns out they are a new series, but instead of listing them as series 3, they rebranded slightly. A lot of new doll-scale bags to collect. I got the shitty basketball purse and I want to kill myself, I will probably go back for more tomorrow.
>>
What's the best 1:3 scale doll brand right now? I know that American Girl quality has gone down over time, is there anything better than them yet? (Is there anything that's as good as AG used to be?)
>>
>>10742868
What scale are these?

Approximately 1/6 or doll scale, they work well for MH/RH/Barbie etc. Picrel is a Naturalista which is Ken sized. They come with accessories that can vary a lot, the headbands are only really Barbie scale and aren't very flexible so I wouldn't count on them for MH or RH. I only have two bags so I don't know if any are much larger than this, the first series had some that were bigger than this.

>These new listings have been found today at Toys R Us Up first with New monster high Wednesday Dolls! It seems like Wednesday and her Roomate Enid Sinclair will be getting collector dolls it seems like!

Raven will probably sell out less quickly than Core but Core would look cuter with Enid... But the odds of checking out with both Wednesday/Enid in your cart if you're not a bot: zero:zero

Quick question: are we allowed to post doll art we like or made in this thread? I just wanna know
>>
>>10743208
i don't mind it but we have anons here that get upset about off topic things.
That anon doesn't like it when others talk about MH cartoon too.
If this board auto sages threads that are 20 days old and we don't even use up the post and image limit before autosage, art should be fine.
>>
>>10743208
Fanarts kinda iffy, not really a /toy/ thing, some fanart works like character art or fashion concepts. Would mostly encourage customized dolls and outfits, since that falls more into the /toy/ category. I'd just say keep it relatively tasteful fanart and don't spam it, shouldn't cause trouble.
>>
>>10743208
I got banned for posting pictures of craft glue when I was asking a question about customising dolls, so it's probably going to go down like a lead balloon, mods are dumb
>>
>>10743257
There's an anon who is openly report-happy >>10741597
>>
>>10743274
they are ruining this thread and I am tired of pretending they are not. A small amount of off-topic chatter keeps the thread alive and not dead during lull periods where there are no doll releases. Inevitably we get back on topic.

So on topic, There are new RH releases with no previews coming up:

Rainbow High Swim and Style dolls for 2024 Ruby, Violet and Skyler

>>10741517
Still can’t believe they did Draculaura dirty like that, those tree trunk thighs are disgusting,
>>
>>10741197
Last year’s set was stunning, this one is a downgrade, shame the doll is ugly and the outfits look poor quality.
>>
>>10743361
Honestly the doll just needs a different haircut
>>
>>10743378
I think not having a full dress is really what is holding her back.
>>
>>10743443
I really like the green outfit, I'm not too impressed by the red, a fuller cocktail dress version would have been nice
>>
>>10743494
Or maybe something like a green barrette in her hair, I'm not sure. There is something off about it. I think I agree with the cocktail dress, and maybe a bob haircut.
>>
>>10743208
Iffy.

Most won't care but there are two report happy autismos in this thread. One will report you for anything that isn't a doll and another will report you if there is anything sexual in that fan art.

They never skip a thread. They probably have it in an open thread and reload it multiple times a day.

Lol, I think everyone but them has gotten a 3 day ban because of them. I'm sure they are reporting everyone commenting on how they hold the thread hostage.

Yeah I think a short cut would compliment the vintage style of the doll more, either a bob or something like this, a hair accessory would also look nice, perhaps gold to match her accessories

so it seems after music festival the next line for g3 is "Fearbook" , which I'm going to guess would be the equivalent to Picture Day
I think picture day is one of the best MH lines (I own Drac and Abbey) so I hope this line is decent (also I hope darko does goofy yearbook pics like the original picture day)

Not one but *two* skullectors based off this show? Damn they are really trying to dickride this dead trend.

Three Skullectors... Maybe four if there's still another 2 pack coming. Wednesday is a great character to make in MH but I wish it wasn't this bitch actress,

It’s interesting seeing his vision for the dolls before the final product. Which of the pre-production designs are your favorite? I’m tied between Clawdeen and Frankie
