I just wish monster high would collab with a gothic fashion brand or a Lolita brand or something that actually fits the monster high vibe fashion wise :(
"we all know that monster high is robbing us of our money" sent me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 also I would've expected a Monster High x Hot Topic collab way before one with Off White
@@pancakegamer335 Do you really think the pay the workers well? It all goes to the company. All these doll youtubers get their overpriced dolls for free and act like they paid for them, pretending the dolls are out of this world
they cannot do a regular hem at this scale with these kind of fabrics without it looking ugly and bulky, heat sealed edges is the next best thing. my only complain with this particular doll is the use of velcro, it looks and *sounds* so cheap. plastic snaps wouldve been enough. and also why couldnt they wrap a strand of hair around the elastic on her ponytail? that wouldve been a nice touch, especially at this price point. overall shes a great doll, i wish i could get her. great review and wb!
Agreed. Seams at this scale would have been bulky and ugly. The satin is probably cut with a hot knife that heat seals the cut as it happens (so it won’t or shouldn’t ravel). The other fabrics don’t need to be finished as they don’t ravel at all.
Look at the clothing fabrication on the Disney limited edition dolls that are at the same price point for comparison. NO comparison! Those gowns are couture & well-sewn. Even the Rainbow High clothes at a much lower price point have sewn seams, usable pockets, etc.
original barbie had hems, laces, aglets,zippers, buttons, etc. you absolutely can do all of this at this scale, it just takes time and handcrafting, something that large factories and producers don’t want because of how little money it makes them in comparison. for $150, in this economy? we should be getting original sculpts, original outfits, original fabrics/prints, high quality accessories/stands/boxes. this is a collectors item and they are honestly treating it with a similar level of production care as barely above a play level doll. at least this time they finally put the 2 per person limit so for the first time ever actual people are getting these dolls instead of scalpers
I think the doll is generally nice with cool elements, but I feel like all those things should be bare minimum quality atp in time, charging $150 for bare minimum is nuts, like even the bratz designer collabs have infinitely better quality and those dolls are $40-$60, like the Kylie Jenner doll has a full gown situation too and that doll is $30, like Mattel needs to be so serious 😭, the only time they want to pull out bare minimum quality is for the collector dolls when that should be the standard for playline, then they should go above and beyond for the collector dolls
Girl rainbow high play line dolls are better than this. Some of them have lined jackets, real pockets, and finished edges, plus they often do fabric bags. The plastic bag feels like a cop out.
it will be perfect if Monster High ever did a collab with Gothic Beauty magazine. The dolls they might use is probably a vampire or a ghost or a skeleton or GargoylesGothic Beauty is an American magazine established by editor Steven Holiday in the fall of 2000 after the success of the Internet social group of the same name. Gothic Beauty covers numerous aspects of underground culture, including fashion, music, events, and various forms of entertainment. In the only way to probably get the dolls through a magazine
OMG I LOVE HERRRRRRRR😭✨ But I wish Mattel released non collector G1 MH dolls so they are accesible for everyone. At least they could rerelease some iconic lines...
Me too, I need a rerelease of School's out, with the original screenings, not that I don't like the creeproduction screenings, but I much prefer the original screenings
i’ll never stop saying that she was ruined by the PAINTED HAIRLINE… honestly i would have fathered the visible rooting, there’s so many ways to get around it without it looking like she’s sharpied her hairline onto her forehead.. TERRIBLE decision on the designers part
I feel like they did too much to her face and it kinda swallows the skull underneath which is a shame because that was an amazing choice! I love the black gradient rising up from her legs tho. Overall it’s a skip for all of them for me because I’m not really keen on the designs overall and they’re $270 Australian… so yeah no haha. Great vid! I hope Mattel sends you your fave to review!
As a “casual” collector (MH was my childhood and I like getting dolls) this just feels like a slap in the face. Between the price and exclusivity, it’s ridiculous
There are plenty of “rich” collectors. You just aren’t in those circles. People with 10k dolls and 300-500k collections. People with EVERY MH doll or EVERY Barbie doll.
@@thefragranceapothecary7281 do you listen to how you sound? They weren't saying rich people can't collect. Jesus, does accessible prices = "unbuyable to rich people" to you? Why couldn't rich people buy a doll just because the rest of us can afford it too? Oh, that's right, it's only valuable if the peasants can't have it. 🙄
@@thefragranceapothecary7281Just because a collector item can be made more affordable without sacrificing quality doesn’t mean collectors who happen to be wealthy won’t buy it. If the price would reflect the quality of craftsmanship, materials and effort made, that would be different.
I absolutely love this doll. Thank you for showing all her clothing and body. I feel she is the most beautiful doll in this series. Excited to get this one. ❤
i missed your revews so much😭 also i agree with you… mattel should do more g1 dolls that are not skullectors… i’m 17 and i don’t have a job, when i heard about creepoductions i was “OMG I WANT THEM ALL” of course i just got two cuz they went costing 50€ in italy shipping included and when i saved money for the rest of them they were sold out, i only got draculaura and clawdeen, i really wanted frankie midnight runway but they’re 88€, i also wanted ghoulia but she was 60€+10€ for the fan thing and she went sold out… i miss having g1 dolls
literally who is the target audience for this doll because majority of doll collectors arent rich and into specific designer brands and majority of rich people arent into monster high dolls 💀
She’s absolutely gore-geous! I can’t wait for her to be available. I was wondering tho what’s the size of the box, like Width and Height? I plan on displaying these in box but not sure how to display them so if anyone has the measurements it would be of great help! 🤗🤗
There is a way to finish knife pleated fabric. If you look up, judy. By madame alexander from 1946 when new the doll has knife pleats and they are finished with a braid trim.
I do think the skull inside the head is a cool idea but I still would not pay $150. I agree with you that for that price point there should be real zippers and no velcro and an actual acrylic display over the doll instead of thin bendable plastic. Just seems like they are overcharging and hoping no one will notice
these are out of my price range, but if I were rich, I'd buy some of them! and even tho I can't buy them, and I don't like all of them, they're still cool to see. I don't understand ppl who are trashing dolls in the comments just because they're not their cup of tea. just don't buy them and you're golden
i used to be an off white fan and seeing those dolls at first made me kinda sad because i didnt like them, but now seeing her in better quality, she grew on me. she kinda slays
These dolls were honestly really disappointing for me. They’re all way too similar in colour palette and their clothes honestly to me fall flat. It was so nice to see a review from you again though!💙 Edit: The jacket isn’t even LINED?!💀
There’s no way to hem the skirt, Even the actually product it’s just like that. The fabric it’s meant to be used for raw edges. And the sleeve will be so bulky (not in a good way) and when you buy designer items you are also getting a work of art and the history of the designer/brand. It’s like saying a professional that went to school for a degree gets pay more even that it takes less time to do so. Same thing buying anything you are not just buying a physical product but your getting the whole deal! honestly I’m obsesses with this doll! I can’t wait to get her!!! 🫶🏻
Ok sooo about the Hemings. The shoulder ruffle can’t be hemmed because if it was it’d make it harder to ruffle nicely like it is now due to it being thicker at the hem so they have fused the ends so it won’t fray so easily and the dress is made from plisse fabric and can’t be hemmed because if it was the cleats won’t be as defined as it is throughout the dress and will just look bad
Wow some new monster high collection dolls for the new generation of monster high collection vs the Original monster high collection for any monster high fan
Hi, i'm a new subscriber, and I absolutely loved your review! I agree with everything you said. I can't believe that outer piece was not acrylic. Funko pops put acrylic cases over their, album pops at a price point of $19.99. And the unfinished details like the hems and even the half jacket make it look a little .. . I guess inexpensive is a good enough word. Even though there's not another half for the zipper, they could put some kind of at least plastic. I think she's gorgeous, but the points that you brought up are very reasonable and should be the standard. I can't wait to see more of your reviews. You are very honest, but you're not ridiculously picky. I mean, it's good to be picky, but not crazy picky LOL. Oh I almost forgot to mention one of the things you said that meant the most to me.. They know that collector's really want the generation one style. So they put them out at ridiculous prices because they know that we're gonna buy them. But most of the time, you can't even get them now. They expect you to join the Mattel Fang club. Pay $10 a year to have a chance to get one. So no, you're paying $10 extra on the doll because? Honestly.. Just make them available for everybody to get ahold of and you'll make more money. I mean, I honestly stopped collecting. Because I'm not gonna fight somebody over a doll. You have a great day. I can't wait to see your other videos. I'm seeing a binge about to start. ❤
I wish I could get these kind of monster high dolls or even the og monster high dolls but they are way too expensive for me 😢 and don’t sell the og dolls anymore
idk why mattel make monster high collab w offwhite knowing they wouldnt fit well😭 monsterhigh always give chic high fashion preppy style while off white is just… street🤢wear, rainbow high fits off white better imo and they shoukdve went w vivienne westwood or chanel (yes ik it would make it wven pricier but hey a man can dream!)
Ikr they honestly would make a lot of money by selling og monster high dolls again at a reasonable price for people who don’t want to pay a hundred for one doll, for their fans who’ve been watching it since 2012
I'm surprised your location only let you buy one, And that they got twenty of each My location only had 10 of each and they let us buy one of each. But I also heard other locations had less in stock .
I feel it’s a fine mix. Fashion likes weird. Could they be cooler…yeah 150 a lot but it is luxury for the most part. They may have not hemmed because on that scale it could look bulky. I’m definitely getting the gargoyle girlie. But yeah this is kinda extra and the outside box should have been acrylic…
I love her body and the skeleton thing, but I don't really like anything else. Actual fashion related stuff is not my thing, but you know, personal thing haha
She’s definitely the best one although still not worth $150 for me 😅. Maybe like 90? The rest of them are not even that tbh, the whole line feels overpriced when Off White isn’t even very interesting in terms of fashion. A Monster High and Moschino collaboration would be more fitting! But this doll is still spectacular and I love her face and colours.
Do you have any tips to buy quickly on the Mattel website? I have been told that these products sell out in minutes. In case I don't get it, do you think the price will rise too much on resales?
These dolls are cool but collecting dolls can be super expensive. I am gladi am not a collector but have purchased some really amazing dolls this last year.. I need the room now...
I'm confused why they released all of them in the store but only the one on the site 🤔 the 150 is too much the vampire heart draculaura I got and she was 100 and that seemed a lot. This one would be the one I'd get since she has the skull inside the transparent head its really cool and I think they did this with another doll before??? Not sure but it's really cool still expensive 😅
I feel like I really shouldn’t have to point this out, but MH is not the designer brand, Off White is. Is this fanbase really so desperate to pretend they’re somehow being oppressed by plastic monsters they’ll straight up defend the infamously exploitive fashion industry? 😂 My mentally ill ass with my double-digit bank account WISHES I could just make up problems like that. Otherwise, great to see a Jay review again after so long!
None of these entices me enough to spend that kind of money, I don’t see that kind of value put into them. Only people I see buying these are resellers. Wish there boxes weren’t so huge & ugly no way of displaying those without compromising shelf space for other better designed dolls.
So who is supposed to buy these cause they're expecting a lot from the average MH doll buyer? The only people I see with these and promoting them really hard are doll-tubers. Who even is Off White? The typical adult MH fan has bills to pay and the younger fans definitely don't have the money for this
That's what I'm saying 😮💨 I'm just over MH as a brand, tbh if it ain't the quickly sold out, never restocked repros the overpriced, mediocre designed and quality collector dolls the poly hair, plastic shorts G3 dolls, the boots licking doll tubers I'm over it all 😂😂
I’m so tired of companies thinking they can charge so much simply because they chose to make the packaging some stupid thing like this. Like the packaging does poorly to show the doll and it’s VERY unnecessary but it also seems like it costs high production cost. So seriously give us good dolls with decent packaging at a better price
