did you get any dolls from the black friday sales?I got music festival Lagoona, Clawdeen and a few zuru minifashion
>>11244505there are zero good sales around me, online sales aren't tempting me much either
>>11244505Decided to get the Harry Potter miniverse potions class set, it's 50 percent off on Amazon right now
>>11244505I thought the Unicorn Academy dolls were cute and ended up getting them for $5 each at target. I might pick up some of the new Pixlings from Amazon.
Anyone else waiting for the new disney ILY4ever dolls?
>>11244705Which ones are coming out?
>>11244744Dont know yet, they usually come out around the new year. I dont think disney gives us sneak peeks for the disney park ones either
>>11244705I think the disney version with inset eyes flopped, i don't think we will get new ones. Plus there been no new fashion or set for a while.As for the jakk pacific ones they recently came out with a "budget" or lower price point dolls with single outfits recently, so i don't think the line is doing well
>>11242667I didn't think I wanted this but I do. Are these Wednesday dolls one and done and they move on to the next thing or can I expect to see them in the wild?
>>11244705Their fashion packs were really fun but the dolls were starting to get really mid. Personally felt like the quality on the painted eye dolls that they started prioritizing was worse but more people like them I guess.
>>11244882They were a Walmart thing. Ball gown is still available and sellers still carry some uniform versions.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Monster-High-WEDNESDAY-RAVE-N/5113233564?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wmlspartner=wlpa&cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222985113233564_0000000000_21835691471&wl0=&wl1=x&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=9193209&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=5113233564&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvypAcb2Y_NsdwHGxTwdK4vuaRjw9jVsl4iqvxQeWCbvXsE3rMSujfdxoC7KwQAvD_BwE
>>11244565can't wait for the final two to release
>>11245250Same! I kind of want to get their unicorns, but I feel like if I wait long enough, the price will go lower
>>11242667I hate this new Venus look because she looks just like Honey Swamp
>>11245630 honestly I doubt Honey Swamp will even return in G3
>>11244882I saw one at a collectible comic shop in Universal CityWalk Hollywood over the weekend, but I don't feel like that counts.
New HP miniverse, this time it's the candy store
>>11246149
>>11245155I bought this and Enid for my niece as a christmas gift. I had a hard time justifying paying 65 for the school uniform Wednesday, even though I really like that one. Then I found the paint it black fashion set and I went. "I want one." The two I got arrived in the mail today. They're lowkey beautiful.
>>11246149Do you guys wear gloves when you make this stuff? I just got resin on my finger and sniffed it, am I going to die?
>>11246879>I just got resin on my finger and sniffed it, am I going to die?Nah, its like sniffing permanent marker, you'll get a little high/light headed and then that is really it.
>>11246879I wear gloves and a respirator maskYou'll probably be fine but resin is crazy toxic and overexposure can fuck your brain and skin up
>>11246879I usually wear gloves, yeahUnless I'm completely certain that I can avoid getting it on my skin, at least
Anons, are chinese blind box dolls fine for this thread? They aren't exactly super expensive/notable to be posted in BJD thread. I made a general thread for chinese blind box figures once and it didn't take off.
>>11248002Yeah we post about them from time to time, since they lean more casual than average BJD they don't attract the same kind of autism and drama, don't think there's much for discussion here either though
That time againTell me your most unpopular doll opinions
>>11248042Nice. Liroro series just got a fresh fairytale themed generation so I wanted to post about it.
>>11248080
>>11248082These are super cute, love the peapod girl
>>11248057Peak EAH was better than peak MH.
New straight guy Barbie collector here.Need some advice. I recently bought a Barbie extra 3 . And as i was playing with it, i find some robber wire behind her sliver necklace and decided to cut it off. After that, her necklace no longer be able to held on her neck . I thought all decorations of barbies are removabl, like most of the boys/guy's action figures I bought in the past, so it's not like that ?
>>11248800Yeah some accessories are a scam and only are held on by an elastic band or tie, welcome to modern Barbie
>>11248057I genuinely think the LOL stylization looks the best on the OMGs, followed by the Tweens, while the blindbox tots/babies/pets are dead last
>>11248002I don't think price is a concern over there, as long as they're cute.>>11248057No clue how common these are, but:I would prefer if dolls didn't come with any accessories at all, and instead they came exclusively as little theme packs. More budget for both instead of so many dolls having mediocre base bodies AND mediocre clothing. Sculpted clothing is perfectly fine, problem is that they're too stingy with it. They already cut costs by saving on fabric, doing so on paint and plastic quality is begging for your final product to be garbage.Articulation is more important than "aesthetics". Most dolls with fixed limbs look terrible despite sacrificing great amounts of movement for that appearance.
>>11248800They're intended to stay on and be swappable. But sometimes the quality is poor and they fall off easily for anything but posing. It's not really something that can hold up to play or movement.
>>11249178Odile again
Neat.
>>11250056Yup, people suspect she's gonna taking the spot as the new face of Barbie
>>11250200Good, hopefully she gets better fashion too.
>>11248800>Barbie extrawhat a mixed bag that line was. They all go way too hard and I'm not sure who they are for. I picked up pick related because of the strong 80s vibe. Really like the dress and hair. Haven't opened it yet, but when I do I'll probably take off a bunch of the accessories to tone it down. I used to see the extras a lot at TJMaxx, Ross, and Ollies but I think they are all gone now. If you are a straight dude and like figures, look into the Barbie Looks line and Made to Move dolls. Both have elbows, Knees and ankles. You can customize your own stuff if you figure out how to pop heads off cheapies and put them on the more articulate bodies. Being a barbie fan is kind of suffering right now. You can dump a lot of money into getting clothes, bodies, and heads that you want to produce something cool.
>>11244505>did you get any dolls from the black friday sales?From Amazon:Scare-adise Island Frankie Stein - $9Refresh core (194735183326) Draculaura - $12.50Abby B (194735139446) - $11.20And a box of count chocula to get me over to free shipping. At Walmart I got Ivy - $13.30Scare-adise Island Draculaura - $9Other bargains to be aware of is that ROSS has the budget Drac, Frank and Claw for $12 or $13. And Ollies as the LOL OMG FIERCE Cleopatra for $40 if you want to rob it for Cleo clothes. Though you could just as well buy the "Howliday Doll, Winter Edition Cleo De Nile" for $38 and be in about the same ball park, just a lot more gold. There were a lot of monster high dolls on sale in the past 4 days but there isn't much point in double dipping characters. The clothes on many of the past few lines have not been that interesting. The most interesting MH dolls of the past 4 years were all sniped to death on the Mattel website.
>>11251123>"Howliday Doll, Winter Edition Cleo De Nile"that and the Haunt Couture Midnight Runway Cleo De Nile are two of the current MH dolls that I think really conjure the vibe of G1. Shame about the prices.
how are the Disney Collector 100 Years of Wonder dolls? They appear to be like half off at mattel.com. I'm intriqgued by them having joints and not being solid piles of shit like the disney dolls at wallmart and target.
>>112511591 - that doll has no joints2 - lmao is that cardboard?3 - bobblehead monstrosity
>>11244505Wednesday Rave'n doll for like 15% off, the fashion pack and Miniverse Hello Kitty.
>>1124450Will we be entering another doll drought soon?
>>11250171Manny Taur v2 when?
>>11251280>1 - that doll has no joints>2 - lmao is that cardboard?>3 - bobblehead monstrosityhuh, I thought the anna and elsa dolls had joints. wonder why the Cinderella does not
I don't think these fashion collabs are working out with Monster High personally, but he does look nice
>>11252151What are they referencing here?
>>11251849The Wednesday Fashion Pack is still available?
>>11252164based on the likeliness of the designer Harris Reed. since he's male I'm assuming the same for the doll but then again I could be wrong. it's being marketed as a "genderfluid doll", so I'm wondering if that means they mixed some of the male and female dolls to achieve that. like the base shape for the face being modeled off the female dolls and the rest of the body modeled off the male ones.
>>11252233>>11252151okay so I was right. it's a manster body + ghoul face. in short a feminine male doll. don't really see that often so I'll give them props for that. I wish he wasn't marketed as being "genderfluid" though
>>11252233I have one, can confirm the chest is flat, but I haven't taken them out of the box so I don't know if there are other femme parts. The face is very femme but the hands are masculine. Haven't checked the feets.The nazis in this thread will yell at me but I've been wanting a doll with more different bodies so I like this one. Never heard of this designer before but I don't really care. Idk why you get into a franchise about accepting others despite their strangeness and be a big weirdo about people wanting different bodies than thin and femme. Doll cute.
>>11252244i'm the anon that said I like that mh made a femboy doll but yikesthey live rent free on your head, go see a therapist
>>11252247Hm I do need therapy but not because I think it's not that serious to play with bodies in a line of monster dolls. Some bitches in these threads think it's very serious though. Why you getting defensive, bro?
>>11252261no i'm not, just pointing out you're giving the "nazis" satisfaction by showing how they bother you. grow up.
>>11252239>>11252244>>11252247>>11252261>>11252265you both hush. The nazi hates all discussion of character lore and admitting some dolls are based on attractive people. They can't get angry at a doll being flat or built from male and female parts, when it physically is and that is the product being offered at the store.
>>11252244>da nazisgo back
>>11248057There's no dolls drought coming but it's more like a mga's dolls draught. They were dominating the shelves before 2023 and really pushed people expectations and standards, now that mattel is dominating the shelves with even better design and quality than their past flop years is still not enough for most collectors as their yearn for that mga era back. Like how are they going to redress their monster high dolls without the good brands.
birthday wishes dolls become shittier with every year>>11252268>>11252278it's not the first time the thread has annoying vendetta-fag postersIsn't it better they get called out right away and the problem nipped in the bud?
>>11252295what's with the messy bow?
>>11252295>>11252298Ugly outfit in an ugly AI box, we're really going downhill
>>11252138checked other dolls.. ahhtiana and cinderella has no articulation and the rest have it.I think it's because they're the first dolls produced for that line and mattel decided to give others articulation later on.If you do buy the cinderella doll and rebody her, do update us what's her color match.
>>11252244>I don't know if there are other femme partsThe hands definitely look like they might be (or it's a custom sculpt, I guess). They look very slender and dainty compared to the G1 male hands, from what I can see in the pics
>>11252498send comparison picsit looks the same as my g1 deuceI also didn't see anyone in twitter mention it's different
>>11252540Huh. I guess it's just the pose and angle fooling me
>>11252535These looks kinda suck
>>11252168From a local small retailer, yeah.
>>11252295The lopsided bow. Luh mao, no one is going to buy that trash.
>>11252535this sultry smug face is enough for me to buy it.Any other doll with this face?
that dumb "Queen don't cry" meme was made for me
how do I deal with RH eyes fading...
>>11253284I didn't know they could do that. Guessing it's because of sunlight or something? It looks pretty cool imoBut on topic, I guess you might have to try and steal the eyes from one who hasn't had hers fade and swap them?
>>11253281This your custom work?
>>11253284Basically what the other anon said, be careful about keeping dolls in sunlight or any difect harsh light for extended periods of time
>>11253372yeahthe base dolls are a fake ddung, licca's lil sister and a barbie extra mini>>11253374never took sunny outside, must be the lights thenthat sunny was the project runway one. MGA sucks for never fixing the fading eye issue all those years.
>>11253382You do really good work, love the diva eyes
