I'm raising my eyebrow over the fact that they have the 'daughter of Zeus' meeting Deuce though. I think he'd be the last person to want to talk to her.

Turns out the non-posable Frankie is really a fashion play set. I wonder if the legs are posable because it may be just a matter of ordering another set of arms for her to make her posable.
Anonymous
>>5324704 It's probably why this one is also non-poseable as well - that it is a play set. I've debated on getting the non-poseable dolls and keeping the clothes as well as the heads (i keep forgetting you can buy the arms separately from mattel.)
The only thing that would keep you from switching arms out might be the nubs or connector pieces. I wondered if the arms allow full range of motion - or they further hindered it by avoiding putting a balljoint.

For the walmart exclusive large dolls - are they only for Christmas time? Most of those large dolls have sold out, and i wanted to see if i could use a gift card to get one after Christmas.
And i'm also on the hunt for cheap Ever After High stuff too - i got the 17 Maddie for 20 bucks a while back but Toysrus fucked up my order and sent me the wrong doll. Had a hard time getting a hold of the people to help me get her and exchange the mistake piece they sent.

>>5345631 I'll wait to see the final versions, because prototypes do generally suck, but the MH line has definitely started losing my interest in the past few months. The Brand Boo Students were cute as hell, and I'll be getting them when I can, but the GSR dolls had the potential to be amazingly cool, and added a lot of neat new features, but came out amazingly ugly for the most part. The new simplified dolls (the ones people are arguing are for underprivileged little kids?) are awful and their outfits only printed on one side. The Return to Skull Shorts/Ghouls Getaway line had potential to be really cute, but there's so much unpainted plastic that it's not even funny.
The thing that appears to be happening with these new prototypes seems almost like a reaction to the GSR line's craziness: they're really, really, really safe. They're rehashes of old motifs, colour schemes, and themes, but even more watered down. They've given Cleo bigger eyes, they've painted the face moulds so that the subtle smile is more obvious, and created one of the blandest new characters we've seen in a while in Dana Jones. And that's not even getting into the recent re-releases of old lines (swim class, dead tired) with items removed.
The pirate line, again, has potential to be great, but there are so many kinks they need to work out before I'll be sold on it.

Either way, I feel like the Fusion line wasn't nearly as ugly as the new ghouls in GSR turned out to be. Peri and Pearl are awkward to begin with, but I've read reviews that they fall over constantly. Posea was pretty enough, but her lack of legs seemed to turn people off so much that they were looking for rebody-potential in other dolls. And Kala was just a hot mess of a colour scheme. She had the potential to be really cool, and then they just slapped moulded pieces together with minimal paint and a few decals and called it good.
There are also those rumours being generated by that "phonecall to CostCo" post, where the buyer supposedly claimed Mattel is going to soften the edge on the brand overall. The larger eyes on the dolls, and the toned down eyeshadow seem to support that, but it could also just be a coincidence.

>>5345684 It was on the MH
Dolls.com forum (link is considered spam). Here's the text that was posted:
>I just spoke with someone from Costco corporate, a toy buyer, who confirmed that, in fact, there were no Monster High products purchased for U.S. Costco stores for 2015, citing lagging sales and customers wanting something less edgy. Specifically he told me that we will not be getting the Boo York 3-pack featuring Catty at all. That was my reason for calling, to get that information. >However, the guy went on to explain that Mattel is in the process of "softening" (that's the exact word he used) Monster High to be more appealing to the U.S. market. He said specifically that there would less eyeshadow/eyeliner, for example. That transition will be taking place this year, I assume in connection with the "Welcome to Monster High" special. So, here we go. The rumored reboot is most likely happening. >He did say that Costco was looking at possibly carrying a Monster High product in 2016. That will be a case with a doll and some make-up included. The fact that some of these dolls have larger eyes and less obtrusive shadow on seems to match what was said. I'm still sceptical that a buyer for a major corporation would speak to a regular customer directly, never mind giving them this much detail on a product line.

So did you ghouls read about the transfer of the Disney princess line from Mattel to Hasbro in the Disney doll thread here:
>>5345701 Some interesting reading. What I found especially intriguing is the fact that the EAH doll line was the straw that broke the camel's back for Disney. Also, MH makes $716mil and Barbie makes $1.9bil for Matty.

>>5345756 Yeah, I gave that a skim earlier and plan to go back a bit later for more in-depth reading. The article seemed really biased against EAH, though. "See through skirts"?? Where did that happen, other than the swim-suit cover-ups for Mirror Beach?

>>5346547 From the look of the new prototypes, it's almost like they're trying to merge the EAH and MH lines into one property. Add that to the Astranova cross-over thing in the novel, and it becomes even more of a possibility. Regardless, a lot of the changes so far had been clearly cost-saving (fewer accessories with dolls, more moulded plastic items instead of sewn clothing, etc.), but these new changes, not so much. I saw a lot of angry remarks about Nefera's Boo York doll, because her skintone didn't match the old doll's and that made swapping her gloved arms for plain arms impossible. I also saw people angry that her eyes were made larger and less "mean" in shape and rendering. They appear to be going that same route now with the Cleo and Clawdeen at the very least. The other ghouls already have fairly large eyes, so it's hard to say if they've changed much.
There were also rumours a while back that said MH would be switching over to the EAH body moulds in a big brand reboot, to allow better cross-promotion between the two lines, and everyone discounted them as ridiculous and highly unlikely because EAH doesn't do as well as MH. With the way these new dolls look, I'd no longer consider that change nearly as unlikely as before. If they're willing to go through the effort of creating new moulds that have no articulation, but more raised detail, I wouldn't be surprised to see them swap bodies entirely in the next couple of years.

I just wish that they had left MH alone and tried to put more time into EAH to fix it. If they're trying to fill the gap left by the Disney Princess line, it makes more sense to replace it with princesses than monsters.

I mean, I get it. They want to change the boxes and make the dolls look sillier and sweeter so that when little kids walking by go 'MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM,' their parents will see cute little dolls instead of maybe being turned off by the dark packaging or the skeletons and dark colors. But it's so strange to see them touting the 'message' of the series (be who you are!) when the reboot is blatantly saying: "who you are is wrong, let's make you more palatable to little kids or more importantly, their moms." Because when kids+parents are shopping for these dolls, it's not the kids who are weirded out: it's their parents, or aunts, or grandmas being sent on a birthday or Christmas present run.
From a marketing stand-point, they could have just made the packaging sweeter and made a similar impact to the one they're trying to get from the reboot, without totally altering what made Monster High popular with kids in the first place. What made Monster High popular wasn't that they were the same old comfortable, sweet dolls kids see every time they walk down the doll aisle. It was that they looked older, had some edge to them, and were something that no other dolls in the aisle were or are: monstery. If you strip away all of that, what are you left with? And what else will they make 'safe'? Will they reissue the school sets and make the school white and pink?

>>5360692 Lala has wings? Does she have wings due to her being a vampire?
>>5360699 Wont lie - i like this one a little bit except that it is Clawdeen and i feel they messed up with the purple everything up.

>>5358284 Bear in mind this picture is most likely just a prototype/approximation of what the final dolls will look like. We could still get something that looks really different by the time summer/fall comes and these are released.

Annual survey is up at the usual spot.

>>5361469 They're strange looking. What I mean, though, is that when the first pictures leaked everyone was quick to say OH BUT THESE ARE PROTOTYPES, THE FINAL PRODUCT COULD BE SO DIFFERENT, ETC, when there wasn't a big difference (maybe 2 cm smaller head) between the prototype and the final dolls

Quoted By:
>>5362546 Nah. She'll be nixed as a part of the "too scary" character line-up, along with any character that has wings or a tail, because those can get lost by little kids.
I expect we'll see dolls of Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Cleo, without much else for a while after the Shriek Wrecked line hits. Maybe Lagoona, but they'll probably make it so her leg fins are permanently attached.

tumblr keeps screaming that Mattel "purplewashed" Clawdeen, but I think they only changed her skin because it was a human tone.

>>5362337 Can you give us the number for the survey?

Quoted By:
>>5363072 I didn't save the number. I can say that it wasn't starred. Was listed as 30+ minutes, and worth 125 SB.
But IDK if that data changes from user to user.

>1/6th scale full armored knight figure at major retailers. UMF. That's been a dream of mine for decades. But f I know Matty, they're gonna cheapen him out by not giving him armor or something. So let me at least dream on for a little while longer.
