I went to a big indoor garage sale with over 60 tables. only one MH item, and it was the roadster. Not bad though, it was $4 and i was missing it.

Im not familiar with Monster High line but who is that man with moustache?
Did monster high went that brave to make these kind of figures in girl-oriented line?

Should dig through some unique monster girls later may be.

So, do you think when EAH finally gets the axe, will they take Cupid with them? Or there's any chance they will return her to the MH universe?

Will Cupid increase her price furthermore?
>>
>>5671640
IF EAH goes down, i do not think they will let the characters die. If that movie trailer or work they have been showing is any indication - they sure will start swapping stuff. Heck, the reboot shows that, they are going to be phasing people out and in until they get their winning mix.

This is oddly not the first katy perry type doll - Barbie has one with blue hair very much like her.

I know that most wont agree - but i wish EAH would go more color oriented like the Birthday pieces - extreme colors in hair and outfits etc. I feel like EAH could embrace the color more. Though i do know that EAH does have the princess stuff, it's themes and designs are at times off the wall. Spring Unsprung could have been a lot more colorful but with less clashing prints with black.

>>5671640
>>5671642
I reckon we'll see some cross-pollination soon enough. The EAH heads are getting more streamlined, and the MH heads and bodies are getting chunkier. Transition between the two is getting easier and easier.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing a "monstrous" Briar covered in thorns, or Kitty with an even creepier grin and actual cat features, or Raven going extra-goth with some creepier motifs. But who knows when that'll actually happen.

>>5671831
I like that the EAH dolls have natural colours of hair, but I wouldn't mind seeing more chunks of bright shades in there. Blondie's bakery release's hair was cute, but I didn't care for the rest of her doll, so I gave it a miss.
>>
>>5671613
Id fuck it. I'm down for the eeriness of it, I just wish she was darker.

Question: For fellow monster girl lovers, why is it so hard to find mainstream Monster Girl related toys besides Monster High? I collect it but why isn't there anything else? There is tons of Jap related Monster girl shit where is all the merch for it? Where are my figmas or SHF shit I know people want it but why isn't being made? Why do I have to go to Mattel for my monster girl fix? Is any other company doing monster musume toys/dolls if so tell me.

This doll is cute as fuck, shame she is just an Abbey doll with pink hair.

Cupid never really fit into MH anyway since she isnt a monster. If EAH goes then I hope she goes too.

It's because it's still a very niche fetish. Even furries & futas are more mainstream than monster girls. I know the monster girl community is very passionate about "Muh lore" and stuff. But it's also very small and in an echo chamber online.

Outsiders looking into the MG stuff tend to be squicked out by the creepy sexual fetishes that lie just under the skin of MG fandom. Shit like vore, M-preg, mind control, bloodplay, bestiality, rape, etc.

Just take off your MG blinders and realize that there's not alot of people wanting to fuck a manticore's tail pussy.
>>
>>5674318
>niche
I doubt it, given how fucking vanilla it is. Most mg shit people are into are just normal animu girl + contact lens and sp00ky ears, which the typical person would like regardless.

There's tons of common fetishes that don't have many figures. This isn't any special.

i believe they went up for sale on amazon last night, as of this morning cupid was still in stock and blondie and duchess were out of stock
>>5671640
cupid never fit in in the MH universe. her whole daughter of the love god thing is more suited for EAH because mattel tried to push her as a bone elemental in MH and it was just weird
>>
>>5672814
their hair fits the theme of the line and they're budget dolls so they're not really gonna be super fancy. their shoes for this are my favorites though
>>
>>5672453

>>5675856
Found Cupid, you happen to have links for Duchess and Blondie?
>>
>>5675870
christ, i guess amazon took the links down? i should have put them on my wishlist so that i could have something to go back to but they're not up anymore, just cupid.

>>5675861
What are budget dolls?
What's the purpose?
>>
>>5675881
Budget dolls are a way of doing a line or extending a line but still keeping it cheap. Examples of budget/economy lines - Ghouls Getaway, Enchanted Picnic, the MH field trip line, Book Party, etc
>>
>>5675365

I love monster girls, or just creepy girls in general, but I don't think the market is big enough to create monster girl dolls for adults.
That's why MH cater to children. If you want something else, there's always BJDs, but they're a bit different in price range

Apparently, the moulded on top is UNDER the blue stripes to match her "reversible" skirt. At least, the other promo photos show it that way. I'm hoping it was some kind of weird photo mistake rather than actually a different colour torso.

Davy Jones is not a monster

>>5684246
Yeah, I know. But that's how she's being advertised. Cupid isn't exactly a monster, either.

I'm only vaguely interested in buying her for the sake of customising the body with the constellations, but that'll only work if she doesn't have that stupid moulded-on top from the promos.

I thought on the first video that they upped of the 'lost movie' that they were still going to go through with it. Something about them making a live action piece - but i think i need to rewatch their vids. I know that there is a movie in development with Universal, as Universal i believe wants to link the doll line to the Universal monsters series. The last thing i had heard about the movie was from oct - and there's absolutely nothing else except these lost trailers.

Nope. In the original story. Depending on the translation, Boys and Girls ended up on the island and both would be turned into donkeys.

1-Are you sometimes ashamed to collect thes dolls?

2-Or you are proud and show your collection to everyone?

I only have 2 dolls myself
>>
>>5699934
>are you sometimes ashamed to collect these dolls?
yes and no i guess. my family knows and my boyfriend knows. my mom thought it was weird at first but then she came to see that it's what i collect and my sister joins me on doll hunts once in a while. my boyfriend thinks it's a cute hobby and encourages me which i love. that being said, it's not something i generally tell people because then i get "you're 23 and you collect dolls? aren't you a little old for dolls?" it's just easier not to tell people unless they're also into toy/doll collecting
>are you proud and show your collection to everyone?
honestly, i enjoy collecting dolls and i'm not ashamed of it in the least. if i get new ones and i rearrange them, i always want to show them off or if i feel like starting a custom, i like being able to show others.
>>
>>5699934
1. No not really. Maybe a little now that the designs are clearly aimed at little girls but I haven't bought any in quite a while.

2. My collection is on a shelf but I don't show them off or actively point them out. They are just there amongst my mass of other horror collectibles.

No. Why would I be ashamed in collecting something I enjoy? Nothing wrong with enjoying dolls and toys. I like to do custom toys too so if people ask I say it's mostly for art projects.

As for showing off my collection I don't really show people. It's something I do for myself and enjoy keeping to myself. I have nerdy friends who collect toys too so it's not like showing them would make me embarrassed.

it's how reboots work. you could say the same about MLP too, every generation it's like the prior one didn't exist. clawd and howleen might show up but even in G1, they didn't actually show up for a while. and yeah, since the reboot doll line up also includes a draculaura that has wings.
also even with moanica's weird accent, i still want her. she's adorable

>>
>>5707982
I don't know how well they're selling but they have another line (so far there's been the regular line, coronation wear line, and genie chic line) being released this summer or fall.

I think the franchise is fairly popular (the book sold very well, sequel book on the way, movie was popular though not well made, sequel movie is coming, etc etc) but the dolls... not so much. The franchise seems most popular with tweens and very young teens, who just aren't buying the dolls.

The dolls themselves are nice if you like the designs. I'd get them online so they're cheaper.

The problem with Descendants dolls is the quality or the dolls and outfits are incredibly bad for a Disney doll. The cloths are really plastic and cheap. Well, the dolls themselves have a lot of joint issues and damage right out of the box. Total waste of money from what I have heard.

I haven't heard too much about joint issues, but I know a lot of people have had problems with the doll's hair. I only bought Coronation Mal, Lonnie and Evie, and theirs is fine except Evie's is a bit frizzy. Hmm, the clothes don't feel plastic at all to me--unlike the Hasbro Disney Princess dolls--maybe they changed the material for the second run?
>>
>>5709246
>worse

The only thing worse is the bigger heads. The clothes materials are meh but for $8 dolls I don't expect much, at least they aren't using molded bodices for the basic line. Hasbro is actually releasing all the princesses, who look distinct and more like their cartoon counterparts, unlike what Mattel devolved into in the end.

Well the truly plastic outfits were mostly for the boy dolls of the line with hardly any joints in the dolls. The problem with the girls is the material used in outfits are really rough to the touch and are inferior in design to say from Ever After High and not as tough too. Go to Froggy Stuff on YouTube they have a review of the dolls from the first run and they had quality issues with some of the dolls they bought.
>>
>>5709294
i'm not saying mattel did any better which they didn't since it's clear that they want MH and EAH to be their stand out doll lines aside from barbie, but i know more people disappointed with the hasbro versions than people who like them.

I work for the UK's biggest retailer and we just reset our huge toy aisle in my store and things I noticed:
>Disney Princess dolls have a much larger shelf space.
>Frozen range has shrunk.
>The small range of Ever After High has been removed entirely.
>Bratz have been also removed.
>Monster High which had a huge amount of space is now reduced to two basic budget lines (Wave 1 originals rereleases and another line which had a 'new' Gigi doll in some really cheap dress and that is it.
>Barbie shelf space has increased.

Other things being that Marvel, Lego and Star Wars have also increased but not sure what has been removed since I don't really pay attention to boy toys.

For the UK market at least, here is a glimpse of the doll market right now.
>>
>>5709736
>Frozen range has shrunk
i'm not surprised, it's been 3 years and despite efforts from disney it's just not as popular as it used to be. plus they've been meaning to incorporate anna and elsa into the core princess line up for a while but frozen was too busy being its own line.
>EAH and MH reduction
also not surprised, MH and EAH at my job only have one section each
>>
Disney Princess franchise works very well because little girls have the "princess" phase

Dunno where this phase comes from
>>
>>5709834
>Dunno where this phase comes from

from parents and society in general that wants little girls to be princesses, so people buy them princess books, outfits, have them watch princess movies, etc. Plus a lot of little kid's shows (and let's be honest everyone has the TV babysit at least once a day) have princesses and kids like to emulate their favorite shows.
>>
>>5709843

but that image or idea has to be marketable, it has to resonate. the princess trope is popular because nobody likes responsibility but everyone likes privilege. the princess phase as you call it is just an extension of actual childhood, moreover, it is a celebration of it.

tl,dr; the media didn't invent princess phase, we did

By what standards? The Mattel dolls, even their "deluxe classic collection" from recent years, are absolute shit. The dolls all had molded bodices and bizarre samefaces by the end. They're just slightly below the quality of the regular Disney Store dolls, and even then the Descendants dolls look better than some years of the Disney Store dolls (looking at you, shit glitter years).

By contrast, the Descendants dolls clothes aren't stiff or scratchy, almost all the dolls have multiple textures in their clothes (fur, faux leather, tulle, cotton, etc) and each doll has a unique eye stamp and face mold. They are articulated, and come with multiple accessories per doll.

Everyone seems to love them so far. They're pretty damn cute, and if you liked posing the Megabloks MH minifigs with the full size dolls, the mini's make perfect plushies for your dolls.
>>
>>5712675
These keep growing on me, I'll definitely have to get a Skelita to go with the other skelly girls.

Moanica is cute af man, I'm glad she's getting a single release, not just the two pack.

Howleen, not Clawdeen. Howleen's a literal who (at least for now) since in one of the teaser clips of WTMH, the only siblings of Clawdeen they show are like 5 or 6 little brothers - no Clawd or Howleen. Clawdia is probably gone too but she only showed up in FCA

You can try nail polish remover, the kind with acetone in it. Personally I don't use anything but acetone, it removes the paint cleanly and easily.

Whatever you use just make sure you wash the head afterwards, any chemicals left on the head could potentially ruin it. If you do a Google search on Monster High customizing you'll be able to find a bunch of good tutorials. Definitely read up before starting, they are worlds of help! Good luck anon!

The thing is, people are comparing Hasbro's first wave Disney dolls to Mattel's last wave Disney dolls. Mattel was clearly putting no effort into the line for the last couple of years, but Hasbro should had given the initial launch their very best. If what we got is Hasbro's best, then Disney made the wrong call, plain and simple. Compare, for example, Hasbro's fanciest new Frozen doll to Mattel's fanciest Frozen doll, and the difference in quality and execution on every level is glaringly obvious.

Mattel makes tons of stupid business decisions and floods the market with subpar products, but they do have the knowledge and experience to make nice fashion dolls. Hasbro has none of that knowhow and seems to be perfectly satisfied staying that way.

I don't collect dolls, but i noticed your post, and i just have to say that Hasbro takes a while for them to actually gets good.
Like with the MU line, their stuff was pretty mediocre. Nothing special, but as the line went on, we started seeing a lot of amazing figures being made, and even when they reused stuff, they still created high tier figures.

We see this all the time with Hasbro, like with MArvel Legends and GI Joe.

>>
>>5714404
>GI Joe
I haven't seen that toy line in a major store chain for years. If they are better not having it well stocked in most store kind of defeats all that work.
And does anyone really think that the Descendants line will last long enough for it to actually get better? I think the genie line is the last of that IP.
>>
>>5712066
There's a reboot? I stopped collecting these a while back, so forgive my ignorance, but why are they rebooting? Whats going to change?
>>
>>5714541
for descendants, the neon lights ball/dance is the next line they're doing and they're bringing in more characters i think. i don't think it'll help though, i like the idea but they're not really going anywhere with it now.
>>5714589
the reboot is essentially G2 of monster high. guesses are that MH is starting to dwindle in popularity and that they need to keep it fresh to keep it going. the official reason is that there's a new generation of girls that are going to be looking at monster high so they want it to be relatable. frankie, draculaura, lagoona, clawdeen, and cleo all have new face styles, making them look younger and softer. they changed freaky flaw to monster quirk as a part of their How Do You Boo? campaign. ghoulia is no longer a main character and spectra wasn't a main character but she was pushed to the back. basically all the canon things from the last few years are gone now (draculaura automatically has wings, frankie isnt really the new girl, clawdeen has 5 or 6 younger brothers instead of howleen, clawd, and clawdia, etc)
>>
>>5714404
>>5714360
The other reason could be that like Mattel, Disney is important to Hasbro but it's not their main money maker. Mattel has MH and somewhat EAH and Hasbro's girl goldmine is MLP. They both wanted Disney but they don't have the time or care to give it the attention it completely deserves.
>>
>>5714838
forgot to mention that Mattel also has Barbie and is constantly reinventing that line

BUT...

Disney Princesses is far and away the most popular licensed IP brand for toys and such. It beats out just about every toy IP except for mainstays Babs & Hot Wheels. It was Mattel's third biggest money maker. And now with MH cooling and EAH pretty much on life support, there's a BIG hole in Matty's profits.

As for Hasbro, it's pretty much a major win. DP will make nearly twice as much as most of their other brands and also be the number one seller of ALL their brands. They're gonna treat the DP line real good. And as >>5714404 said, it's typical Hasbro to build some steam before releasing greatness.

>>5714541

Yes, Joe is pretty much dead, except for fan/con stuff and some TRU exclusives. It's mostly due to society's current disdain for violent war toys. That, and the second movie debacle.

Still, the last time Joe was on major retailer's shelves, it was great with lots of accessories and competitive price point.

Also, pencils work much better than paint
>>
>>5714880
Not the anon that posted this, but I'd like to note that if you choose the water color pencil route, you should invest in high quality brand name pencils. I tried with some cheaper ones and they were too waxy and wouldn't go on the vinyl.
>>
>>5714859
from a business standpoint, it's a good deal. no one was disagreeing with that. but looking at it from disney's perspective, they're the kind of company with instant results. they always have been. mattel, even though they dropped the ball, gave them instant results. hasbro isn't. even if hasbro has the chance to do great things, their first release isn't doing great. and it's a question of whether or not disney wants to take that chance with them.
>>
>>5714939
>it's a question of whether or not disney wants to take that chance with them.

What chance? Hasbro is the second largest toy company and has already proven themselves by managing both Star Wars & Marvel competently. Both of them Disney IP's. You think consolidation wasn't a factor for them moving to Hasbro?
>>
>>5714880
This one is pretty except for the disgusting glued on hair and red stuff under her lip. Yeah rooting takes time but is worth it in the end.
>>
>>5714994
>reading comprehension
hasbro could be number 1 in toys and be pissing on the competition and it would still be a risk to disney. almost everything that disney pumps out is an automatic result or hit. everything they've obtained or made, for the most part, gains critical success. i've seen more criticism than praise for hasbro's first release of the disney princess dolls. but i also know that like mattel, hasbro has their own lines to worry about. and like the other anon said, hasbro's best at the moment was mattel's worst.
>star wars and marvel
both of which are aimed at boys. boy target groups are easy to do and both of which did well without disney so that's not even hard. disney princess is an original disney line. my whole point is that while hasbro can/could do better with DP, disney expects instant results and hasbro, so far, has not given them.
>>
>>5715007
>everything Disney puts out is a critical success
Tell that to Alice Through the Looking Glass, The Lone Ranger, The Good Dinosaur, John Carter, Tomorrowland, Prince of Persia, to name the most recent failures.

>>
>>5715007
>Hasbrow has their own lines to worry about

And that's exactly the reason why Disney took the princesses away from Mattel, they weren't caring enough or paying enough attention to the Brand as it printed money no matter how bad the products were and they had EAH (and Barbie and MH) tanking to worry about.
>>
>>5715036
You're wrong, deal with it. Only a fraction of what Disney puts out becomes a major success in the long run. Big Hero 6 was big, but where is it now? It's dead.
>>
>>5715039
And at the moment, neither is hasbro. either that, or they're doing different approaches to how to make it work.
>>
>>5715042
>i can't read so you're wrong
you being unable to read has nothing to do with that. disney puts out successes but not everything is going to be successful. that doesn't mean that they're not used to getting that instant win. especially with disney princesses.
>still using boy targeted lines in your argument about girl targeted lines
>>
HEY here's a great idea - stop arguing about Disney Princesses and talk about MH, sound good?

I work at toys r us and holy shit this stuff is actually garbage. It really is bratz tier shit everything about this product is halfbaked china shit you would find in some kids gift bag from his 5th birthday party. How can you people knowingly put down money for this shit honestly it concerns me.

I can see why they need to do this though. The reason I stopped collecting was because there were too one shot characters whose designs were hot messes and some of the themes were getting stale. I guess now is the time to find and grab whatever dolls I missed out on?

pic is just an example, but it's a good idea. the four on the left are the budget dolls with less articulation. dolls on the right are the new basics, they also don't have stands anymore from what i hear. i know that for Epic Winter for EAH, the dolls are advertised as having stands and don't come with them. not sure if that's the case with the MH ones though.
>>
so it's also been confirmed that the new EAH signatures/basics (jillian/meeshell/nina) also don't come with stands. thanks mattel

>>
>>5716832
>>5716836
Question: Like the CAM mummy doll would you like this Cleo better if Mattel colored the bandaged limbs grey/white to give it contrast? I think if they did that she would look so much better.
