Aww, well welcome!!!

This post feels especially for me LOL. I actually know one of the members on the mattel design team and he posted about the process for the Laverne doll:

The paris hilton doll is both so random but already late in that they've moved onto series 4 of Rainbow High - which is seemingly rushed because there is a LOT of quality control issues - and are rolling out the full Rainbow High vs. Shadow High experience. Her School, Pacific Coast High, was more of a very expensive side line between other things as well so why would she need a doll? Their webisode was cute at least, if you ignore the Paris (contractually obligated) hype -

Lastly with Monster High, I'm definitely very excited to see what a full trailer experience will give and more of the character/clothing designs for sure. The new dolls are bound to come out soon to coincide with the movie and I wonder if they've officially wrapped it.

that's cool! i'm still debating on whether or not to get the laverne cox doll. it's cheaper than other dolls i've bought, but i'm trying to focus mainly on monster high and rainbow high/shadow high.

i really need for mga to slow down though. i managed to find two from series 4 that weren't messed up. the other dolls had screening and makeup issues. they also need to chill with increasing the prices. the shadow high twins are $70 and have issues with the bubble gum.

and for monster high, they released the repros! i got all of them, haha. they're sold out everywhere.

I had some Target gift cards and got Shanelle Onyx though I did really like the black/white girl (I just call her Jesy Nelson bc I don't remember her name.)

I don't like the second outfits for RH dolls, so I'm trying to sell it lol just let me recoup some shit.

50? My girl what! You look good but I do not not think the doll looked like her,

I'm on Dracula daily and recently visited Whitby so I am all about the dracular dolls!

[bluestoplights]

Laverne looks so good, icb she's 50

I'm ready for this Paris revival to be over, she can take her dumb NFTs with her

Happy first post OP 🫶

[wonheaux]

thank you! it took me over an hour to figure out everything. 😭 i haven't used html in ages, lmao.

Well done on your first post, OP!

I'm surprised laverne didn't get a doll sooner

i can't believe i forgot to include this in the post. 😭 the details on the doll are good; especially the addition of all those pride pins. i just hope mga doesn't drop the ball with this like they did the rock angelz. the screenings have been so bad since the 20th anniversary repros.

[pikapika217]

The batch one of rock angelz rerelease is what dreams are made up, nightmares specifically. I really want a Sasha from the new batches that looks nice but the old ones are in my stores and who can be sure that the new one batch one would even come from amazon or something? it's a mess!!

The leaks for Girls Nite Out that I've seen look pretty good so far tho

[koushiba]

I WANT THE PRIDE BRATZ TWO PACK SO BAD. curse me being in Japan atm
