Great first post op❤️

I have a friend really into Rainbow High and like... They're cute but not cute enough for me to actually want to buy one. Can't say Paris's collab is encouraging me to take the plunge lol. What a random person to pull for a doll line like RH.

MH has my heart always and I'm so ready for a revival. I hope the new movie/series isn't a let down and we get really good merch.

i've been a huge rainbow high fan since they first released, but the designs and quality are definitely declining. i'm excited for the rainbowvision dolls though. i'm only going to get the kpop girls though.

I gotta admit that even though RH isn't really my thing I am REALLY tempted by the SH twins. I'd be so sad to get a busted set though lol

MH hasn't even properly returned yet and Draculaura has like 3 dolls 🙄 & I saw that burgundy RH girl in Target today. Where is the teal one with vitiligo???

[wonheaux]

they're rolling them out in stores slowly. i found mila (burgundy), coco (dark blue), and delilah (pale yellow/albino) at my walmart, but i only got coco and delilah because all of the milas had issues with their makeup and the appliques on the boots were peeling off.

here's the link if you wanna buy jewel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BP1G2TR?&linkCode=sl1&linkId=a5821cdaf1413d84aea64e0310d02878&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

I wonder if all of the vitiligo patterns on the doll are the same or have variants.

[wonheaux]

i haven't heard of any yet. it'd be cool though. i'm still keeping an eye out for the heather dress variant.

Kpop RH huh 🤔
If the Lilac one is cute…

[wonheaux]

i'm excited, i just hope they don't go the same route with them as lila from series 4.
they got called out by japanese and other fans because of her design, which is a MESS.

you can see it here
