tfw none of this reboot dolls convince me, only Silvi Timberwolf for the body, but all the clothes and makeup with those basic pastel colors, simple clothes with a childish, generic and...
I looked in the past, the firsts waves and compare to this new one is like two different products
I don't know, I just don't feel any motivation to buy these dolls, they are clearly made for a very young audience, none of them seems to catch my attention, I suppose MH is not for us anymore, I'm not sure if i'm the only one having this feeling

MH reboot? more like the Chinese cheaper version of the 1,2 and 3rd wave of the original franchise, 0 motivation to buy the new ones, sorry to sound edgy but this is how things are right now

Remember when Konami rebooted the Castlevania plot with Lords of Shadow? Remember how no one liked that shit? Happening all over again with MH. At this rate Mattel will go the Hasbro route and start rebooting all franchises after 3-5 years regardless of if they're selling or not.

I got the collector Skelita the other day, she's pretty nice, but still doesn't seem like she's 'collector grade.' I love her dress, especially the lace at the bottom, but the limited colors on her shoes, headband, and hair clips is a downer. No accessories kinda sucks too.

MH is so fucked, this is Hasbro-tier awful.

But what disgusts me more is that moms like these kinds of dolls because then there's less clothes for their kids to rip off and lose.

These dolls arent even made by Mattel, they are made by Just Play Toys/Vivid Imaginations. Perhaps they just dont know how to make knee joints.

>If not, distribute among nieces/younger siblings/children of friends.

Oh yeah, my "niece" whom I'm always buying MH for whenever the cashier asks.

No, seriously. I don't have any family or friends with children. Not that it would matter, seeing as I know I'm a guy with a strange toy hobby. I get paranoid being in the same toy aisle with a kid. Don't want some soccer mom screaming "pedo!" at me. I'm not here to fondle your fat drooling cunt-turd, lady. I just want my cute monster girl dolls.
>>
>>5947374
I'd be hesitant to say that, hasn't it been in production long before the reboot?
>>
>>5947540
Maybe, but weren't some of the Shreikwrecked prototypes in the old style and the actual production versions were new style?
>>
>>5947545
Im pretty sure her doll is styled to be more like the older dramatic style rather than the reboot, which would fit and make more sense given the Rick Genest design.
>>
>>5947248
>Iincludes role play make up only
What does mean? Just empty pretend bottles? or does it have that cheap kiddy make up inside?

I'm confused.

>>
>>5947372

>>5947921

>more pink

>>
Would be good if they could at least release a collector dolls from time to time knowing the popularity of MH with collectors and the fact the new gen is nothing but cheap crap for children.
>>
>>5947545
They did that for EAH too though for Epic Winter. For some of the displays for Shriekwrecked and Epic Winter, they used the old dolls because they weren't totally ready to show the new faces.
>>
>>5948489
My theory is that if they get enough backlash for G2, they might pull a collector/designer Barbie thing for MH and release dolls specifically for older collectors.

They made it tie in to the Born This Way video, with a crappy thrown on extra "fashion" so you can't complain they're just doing the bare minimum.
It does make sense why they kept it to just these outfits, but I agree that it's pretty boring and drab.

Hey guys. I'm not usually /toy/, but I watched and enjoyed the designs in Welcome to Monster High a little too much. Is there image dump or gallery of screenshots, production art, or even of the dolls themselves that you might have handy?
>>
>>5950651
I don't understand why they went with a look from a single from almost six years ago. It wasn't even a particularly good video. Is it supposed to be adults or kids wanting this? Because I don't think kids really care about Lady Gaga anymore, especially since she hasn't done anything since before Bratz died.
>>
>>5950929
Well yeah, can't scare the target audience away. Or they'll soften the looks of the dolls even more.
>>
>>5951432
But isn't this a collectors doll? More adults will be grabbing this than children
>>
>>5951405
Does much anyone care about her anymore? The sad thing is, she's got singing talent, but she wastes it on synth pop garbage instead of real music. Her performance at the Stevie Wonder tribute proves she can do better than most of the stuff she's done.

She's got a new album coming out the 21st and is even performing a new song from it tonight. This is her first album since firing her old manager and she has album expressed disdain for the electronic dance nature and how unfocused and poor quality she felt it was. It should be interesting to see the new direction she takes.

>>5951580
If her new single is any indication, it'll be shit. She is literally saying only one fucking line.

they should have went full monster and use skellitta body.

>>5951405
Because the title and song Born This Way ties in to the entire message MH has been trying to push extremely well. It wasn't her best but it links her to the MH brand the best. Besides, the entire skeleton getup worked for making a quicky tie-in doll, too.
>Jus be urself kiddos!

>>5952877
It would have been cool if they went with half skeleton, half human/zombie limbs
>>
>>5952969
you mean the message that's getting tossed out with the soft and lighter reboot series?

And there's the fact that Mattel planned this doll YEARS AGO and are only now getting around to it, long after anyone could still care.

Disappointed that the Gaga fig looks so bland. I was hoping for a spooky meat dress or something.
>>
>>5954845
No thanks. Every time I see the new faces, they look even worse.
>>
>>5952984
You said it yourself, they planned this quite a while ago, when they were still going strong on the "every monster is unique you do you" thing. Plus what >>5953119 said, it's tied to the name of the foundation too.
>>5954845
This can go fuck right off though, the only thing good is Laura's (maaaaybe Clawdeen's) hair.
>>
>>5954845

Draculauras looks the most fitting, next best would probably be Cleo.

Clawdeens is almost perfect if they didn't put her into that blend of pink/purple, instead of just dark purple.( I fucking see you Mattel, leave Clawdeen out of your shitty pink fetish)

I don't even want to start with Lagoona and Frankie.

the dolls are cute, but the regular outfits are rather ugly except for one or 2 dolls.

Basically they gave up on adult collectors and teens to deliver cheap crap devoided of tiny bits and creativity for little children.

>g2 is here, bitching about it won't do shit
>>
>>5955916
Yeah, it won't do anything but this is fucking wild. Born This Way Foundation is about being proud of who you are...featuring the dolls they completely redid and have received mixed to negative criticism over. They're trying to push a message about being unique but all of the girls are wearing the same outfit? This just looks shoddy.
>>
>>5955916
There's nothing wrong with being critical about what is presented to you, and so far some questionable choices have been made.
>>
>>5956329
I think the photoshoot/doll designs were to reflect some of Gaga's past outfits/trends. So I think it'd make sense for them to have some consistency but small differences that'd fit with their character/style. It's different in a small way as opposed to special snowflake.

>>5956337
No, there's nothing wrong with being critical. But all there is bitching with no positive so far. I won't lie, I think the lack of articulation and accessories/fashions being simplified is bullshit. But I love their new faces, I felt the old faces were too harsh sometimes. Also, the new eyes seem to have less wonk eye than before, but this may just be my observation.
>>
>>5950651
especially the artpop. would have been cool to have a jeff koons balloon animal in doll size.

>>5954845
damn that is terrible.
>>
>>5956357
Moanica has the worst wonk eye I've ever seen on a doll, literally cannot find her without one eye much larger and/or misplaced. I've heard that it's intentional to highlight her sassy look, but goddamn, 99% of her dolls look retarded as fuck. I had to search through cases to find the least wonky and they're still off kilter, I ended up having to choose one that had one eye placed lower than the socket, because at least the eye was printed the right size and not enlarged 20%.

Also Dana and SW Lagoona have problems with being misplaced, too large for socket, or smeared across the front of the box. Haven't got either of them yet, still searching for a half decent representative.

This problem was present in G1 but overall it feels like as time goes by, they care less and less about accurate paint jobs and just rush dolls out of the factory. Valentine was an SDCC release and he had wonk eye prevalent in almost all his dolls, that was like an early warning sign of the decline.
>>
Anyone still looking for Astranova well she's on clearance at Walmart. My local Walmart had a shit ton of Astranovas almoat all of them the lavender colored one. Managed to find the dark violet one. Best bargan ever.
>>
>>5956450
at least with the ones i've seen, dana seems to have awful eye wonk.

Monster High just doesn't sell anymore, it's time Mattel wound the line down and ended it and thought of something new instead.
>>
>>5964385
I thought Monster High was selling just fine before the reboot, I'm pretty sure it threatened to even overshadow Barbie in sales
>>
>>5964638
A couple of years ago maybe but not any more. Barbie and Monster High were outsold by Frozen dolls in 2014 so I'm guessing sales aren't that high to begin with.

>>5964638

They were doing fine before the reboot but combined with losing Disney and competing with Disney, they decided to advance with G2. Barbie is essentially Mattel's bread and butter, that's always going to sell. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen kids go through the MH area where I work, pick up the new MH dolls, and then put them back down. If this keeps up, they probably will euthanize MH, try to keep DCSHG going because that's always going to be a market for them, and turn EAH into a pretty pretty princess line to compete with Disney. The moment they decided to go through with the reboot was when they put the final nail in MH's coffin.
>>
>>5966284

Funny, if you speak to any EAH fan they're all convinced it's THEIR line that's meant for the chopping block, not MH.

Mattel just spent good money revamping all the 3D and 2D animation assets for MH. I don't think they'll pull the plug yet.

EAH on the other hand...

As a fan of both lines, I think MH is the one that will stick around longer. It isn't as huge success as it was, and G2 probably will never reach the hights of G1, but who knows what G3 will bring in 8-10 years. It seems quite unlikely that Mattel will fold the whole franchise, unless the dolls completely stop selling.
>>
>>5966786
compared to the mosquito bites the dolls have, they're huge, plus they have hips.

Granted, the dolls should have smaller hips and no boobs, these are characters age 14, not Bianca Beauchamp. At least US companies get this right, unlike something like TTGL where Yoko was 14 but had the body of someone twice that age

They need mother's day or family day sets, but it wont happen due to them needing to make new molds and not selling well. If only an SDCC or a collectors set was made for those - limited quantity - cause we know that would be the only way they would do it.

Heck i would pay for mini sets - like how Disney does smaller dolls in large sets to do a whole movie.

Possible new dolls
>>
>>5984376
Intrigued, possibly.
>>
>>5984376
I don't care for Gaga or Cleo but the others look interesting.
>>
>>5984376
That Clawdeen looks absolutely top, indigo/gold/black is always such a nice combo for her outfits.
>>
>>5984457
Needs a diaper desu
>>
>>5984473
Too bad.
>>
>>5983721
please think about Mousedes or the bad cat girls...
or maybe something together... you know cats like to catch mice, sometimes for "fun" y-you k-know those cats can be bullies, specially in bed with a poor mousegirl...
just use your... "imagination"
>>
>>5984940
But Mousedes is a total boss who doesnt take shit, her last name is King and she grew up in a 'New York' setting, she has no time for dumb bully cats.

It'd be like a Tom and Jerry setting.
>>
>>5984961
Only sexier with more Dom and Sub situations, I should add.

Mousedes being a Dom.
>>
>>5984961
>>5984964
Nope nope, she is a princess, she is the opposite of a boss and those mean cat girls will dominate her (in a lewd fun way) they will use Mousedes as their mouse fun toy
>>
>>5984965
Mouscedes will tie down those naughty cats and show them some real bullying.
>>
>>5984967
meh, I prefer the predators have fun with their prey ut if you prefer the other way...
>>
>>5984972
I like reverse predator and prey situations, mix things up. The Predator and Prey situation gets so boring and predictable to me.
>>
>>5984376
Finally something to throw my shekels at.
>>
>>5984176
What a waste, people are pissed!!!!
>>
>>5984376
Wonder if these are or were designed by Gaga's team or sister, cause i wonder the connection with the piece in the pic.

I feel like Lagoona looks a lot like her Dawn of the Dance outfit -though not hair.

In terms of looks - i feel this is a step in the right direction.
>>
So holy shit, Amanita is 26+ on Amazon and other sites but there's TONS of her in my local TJ Maxx for 14.99. Definitely grabbing one, but I was curious if anyone was hunting for her.
>>
>>5984019
They could make some of those minis or vinyls or whatever
>>
>>5984376
Not sure how I feel about Lagoona, would probably need to see a less blurry picture. Standout for me is Clawdeen, this is how she should look.
>>
>>5985410
She's always been one of the dolls I could pass on. I feel like she was built up a lot and the final product of her was underwhelming.
>>
tryna save up/get rid of stuff cause im moving! if your interested in any of these email me an offer (I have the cat girls originial outits as well as any pieces not shown in the picture)
>>
>>5985882
