Worth $75? Monster High Haunt Couture Midnight Runway Frankie Stein Review! 

Mattel rlly be out here forgetting mh does in fact have at least around 60 different characters whom are not frankie, cleo, lagoona, clawdeen and *draculaura*

Its so revolting to see companies so blatantly exploiting their customers by releasing shitty products at unbelievable prices, and there’s still a portion of the community that will defend a multimillion dollar company over a real and struggling community. Also saying this doll is worth $50 is being too nice 😭 if this was a $50 rainbow high doll the conversation would be v different

The answer is they are not worth the money. Mattel is really abusing y’all

She’s cute, …but not $75 cute…

Honestly I feel like this line would be so much better if they put more time into it. It feels like they are rushing out all the collector dolls. It would be dope to see this line with Abbey and Operetta instead!

I wish they’d experiment more with lagoona and ghoulia! Like mermaid zombies are cool!

Ghouls rule retailed for $30. With inflation adjustment it’s about $40. So the most this doll who doesn’t have any accessories but rooted lashes instead it should cost $50 at most.

I’d love to see an outfit swap between Midnight Runway Frankie and the first Haunt Couture Frankie

At this point Im not amazed, Mattel is just giving us $25-30 worth dolls and not even trying to give us quality, beautiful designer dolls. This collection looks more like a playline set you'd find at Walmart. Don't get me wrong, they are pretty but is disappointing

Bye.. 75$ for THAT? It’s literally a full on 25$ doll not 75$s worth.. take Lillie Chang she literally was 80 dollars and came with 2 outfits,brush, stand, 2 pairs of shoes, nice NYLON HAIRR eyelashes, accessories?? 5 dollars more and you get so much. If Mattel would have added 5 more bucks to that Frankie, it would have went into the box..

Compared to the old one, I’d pay 20 for her, not 75 at all. The older one is worth that imo but this is just so bland and kinda ugly

From this line id only go for Cleo. And this is from someone who literally only collects Frankie dolls

I really hope mattel changes the price of this line but they did not and it's humiliating that this doll only comes with a stand and certificate. Not worth $75 😐

Man, they are so cute but I am not paying over $100 CAD for them. The price point is WILD.

Absolutely not worth what they're charging for it. Glorified playline doll with a G1premium with the added bonus of dealing with scalpers

Wish she had a diary or AT LEAST a note from Frankie from og HC...it was sooo sweet n got me all up in the feels! I hope to get her on drop day. Ty for the review, Jay!

So she cost even more than a normal collector release AND we’re not sure to get her on Mattel creation cause of the bots BUT a lot of content creators are going to get them for free as always like al other few ones and won’t be bothered about the stress of may be not getting her on the site ?? Gosh another reason to hate Mattel! Thanks so much for all your videos, your review made me think more about buying her… she doesn’t worth the stress and the money.

$25 doll being sold for $75... mattel rly has everyone in a nostalgia grip

only Mattel can water down it's "collector" products so badly it looks like play line. It's smart when you think about it, cheap out on your standard products so much that your "premium" products only have to have basic quality to look better by comparison. MGA would never

The dolls are kinda cute but I wish they were like. $45. Then they would be somewhat worth the price + exclusivity. (Even if I think this feels more like a $30 doll...)

I personally feel like this line should have been Operetta, Skelita, and Ghoulia for the whole mask motif going on it would’ve made more sense imo

I'm sorry but when are we as a collective going to boycott Mattel? As a 30 year old who has grown up with the original American girl dolls and monster high dolls, it literally pains my heart what Mattel is doing. The quality has absolutely gone to shit, with monster high, American girl, barbie (even though I was never a barbie collector, the quality decrease is so blatantly obvious.) Yet Mattel will use nostalgia to get people to buy these dolls meanwhile they give us shitty quality, and a higher and higher price point year after year. Yet people want to shit talk MGA about their prices, however look at the quality MGA is giving us while proving they actually LISTEN and CARE about their customers. For example the collector Lily Cheung doll was $80 but the quality was IMPECCABLE, with a second outfit, accessories, and just overall a doll and gorgeous pieces that in my opinion are worth the price. MGA'S playline dolls are worth more in my opinion then the bullshit quality Mattel has been putting out for their "collector" dolls. It's sad because they know that people love monster high and American girl so much they will still purchase them because they're hanging on to what these dolls USED to be. Mattel is greedy, money hungry, and doesn't give a shit about their consumers. Take for example Mattel creations and how it's been YEARS since their loyal customers have been pointing out the flaws with the website with bots and resellers. But have they done anything? Nah because Mattel doesn't care about us. They only care about money. And it's evident in this cheap excuse of a "collector" doll, which will still sell out in .2 seconds, and people will say Mattel "slayed" this release. Please. I wish people would open their eyes and show Mattel that we are worth more than the crap they think it's acceptable to give us for ridiculous prices. People should look at the quality Mattel is putting out vs what MGA is putting out. It's not even a competition, yet people will still complain about spending $30 on an amazing quality rainbow high doll but won't blink an eye spending $75 for this cheap ass quality with no effort put into design and execution, just because it's monster high. I'm over it. I LOVE monster high, but at this point I'm not giving a cent of my money to Mattel and their greed. Thank you for attending my Ted talk. Edited to add: Can you imagine the amazingness we would get if MGA owned Monster High? Amazing Rainbow high and LOL OMG quality and attention to detail for our fabulous ghouls? I can only dream... For now I'm done with the disrespect and disappointment from Mattel. Sorry this was so long.

I think they have been PHONING it in, Creativity-wise and accessory-wise with these Haunt Couture ones---where are the extras that make it worth that extra $25?? [Great video, otherwise!!]

The face is gorgerous but I think she'd do better as normal retail 30 bucks doll

I'm so fucjing mad at Mattel. How they suddenly produce "collector" dolls like crazy now because people buy them no matter what

For a $75 doll I better get an amazing outfit,NOT A TWO PIECE set !!! I better be getting many accessories,beautiful heels,a stand that isn’t wobbly and cheap,STUNNING HEELS 👠,hair with minimal product, a Diary,a comb,a purse or bag of some sort , and sooo much ! Mattel is charging $75 for a Frankie doll with a 2 piece outfit on ! Chile - PUH-LEEZ 💅🏾🙄! Mattel acts like Frankie,Draculara, Clawdeen,Cleo,and occasionally Lagoona are the only Monster High Dolls …… Mattel is starting to get ridiculous! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️💅🏾! I SAID WHAT I SAID!! 👏🏾💅🏾!!!!

sorry but this doll it doesn't worth $75 dollars... is super simple, the outfit is not cohesive the jacket is the only good thing with the hair and face, Mattel is scaming us at this point :/ happy Mattel gift it to you though lol

The hair accessory for Frankie is a hex nut :)!

I don’t like the mask or shoes. Interesting the straps are on the bracelets. I like the green in Frankie’s hair. Would love to see without the jacket to see the bodysuit more I do like the legs of the bodysuit. Def agree $75 seems high compared to the 1st haunt couture which had more stuff. 💚💙🖤

Great video! I’m really on the fence about this doll. $75 does seem a little steep for a doll with 2 pieces for an outfit…

I would've LOVED to see Spectra, Operetta & Ghoulia instead of Frankie & Cleo. I think it would've been so much better, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Frankie & Cleo look so gooddd

I wish operetta was in the collection because…masks are her thing

The fabric hanging down from the bracelets gives me Salad Fingers vibe

Its so insane to me that they actually released this line, i thought it was fake

Oof, saddle stand. I’m terrified to even look wrong at my Barbies with saddle stands, it took me foreeeeever to get them to balance.

Disney Store: * creates the Midnight Masquerade doll lines * Mattel: Hey can I copy your homework? Disney Store: Sure just change it up a little bit here and there Mattel: * makes this *

This Frankie (my fav monster) is not worth $75…thank you for your honest review.

I love that even though Mattel is sending you these dolls and DEFINITELY watching your videos, you are still so honest with your true opinions on the dolls 🫶🏻

Spoiler: No xD

with a $75 price point why dont they just give her real chains UGHHHHH.....😭

I wish mattel would just focus on making good dolls for g3 instead of ripping people off with the corpse of g1 lol

Ngl I'd love to see Toralei, Spectra or the Cat Twins get Haunt Couture dolls.

I was hoping Mattel sent you Cleo too. I love your reviews!! 🥰🥰

Spectra was the only one i liked from this line, i think if they came with a bag and the old cromed stands they would be so much better; Frankie looks very cheap

I rlly want to see more Freaky Fusion dolls like they only got 1 doll and then they were background characters for the rest of time. Also i really want to see a collector Toralei dolls

If you look at a g3 screening you’ll see the eyes are the same on them and on this doll

The only Haunt Couture I bought is Lagoona Blue, she just arrived. Gorgeous! I've got all three Midnight Runway girls, they take my breath away, and I've pre-ordered Jenifire Long Midnight Runway Fang vote, even though the fans mixed and matched on her accessories I still love me dragon girl. 🥰 The masquerade theme got me, I'm a Mardi Gras, Circus, Jester, Harlequin, Pierrot fan. (So Freak du Chic got me OBSESSED with Monster High) 🖐️❤️🌹

My favorite character is Cleo. I love your good vibes and I am new to your videos 😌😌

I love her face but I do think they should have lowered the price point since she comes with less than the first haunt couture. Again, though, I really think her face is stunning!

lol sorry the dolls themselves are one thing but that packaging design is unacceptable for the price point. honestly even if you like these dolls and are willing to pay the amount just dont. this is exploitive.

I love my frankie dolls too! They're my ghoul too. 75$ is a lot but honestly it's better than 150 or 200$ lol

People are only now realizing how cheap these 75 dolls are.. even the first wave of couture was cheap just like this.

She’s giving Dark One Emma vibes. I love the coat

I bought the Love Edition from Amazon.. Should be here by Valentines Day .if shipping isn't delayed. Estimated date was later this month.. I want the Edition dolls as they come out. The Haunt Culture dolls not so much.. They are cool though. . if I didn't like the other dolls and play sets, I would have spent the money on these..they are for collectors . ours are for family.. I like the doll...

She's pretty but I can't choose between her or Cleo. I think I'll just see if I can beat the bots, if not, I'll try for Cleo.

I might get them. Something is odd for this Frankie, so low-key I want it for that reason. Well see.... ⚡. Review 👌🏾💋

I’m super excited for Cleo and spectra, Cleo in specific, but since these dolls are $75 each, I think I’m gonna skip on Frankie

she's cute but not $75 cute 😭😭

I think ım the second stan of Frankie becauseı have an monster high collection and a special Frankie Stein collection and in the frankie collection there is almost every Frankie doll ı think! And she is my fav!

I actually had to order this doll. Right now I only have 2 haunt couture dolls the first wave draculaura and cleo . I eventually want to get all 6 of the main ghouls as "designers" dolls but have them be waring there original outfits from the default design

this is a 20$ doll lol

I personally don't understand this line, heard about them a few days ago but that's it... I don't hate them but I'm just not that thrilled about them, not worth it

I liked Frankie but Spectra….. Idk if people didn’t like her, but I LOVED HER she’s cute super pretty idc what people say spectra looks gorgeous

Thank you for being honest!

Wow I am so disappointed. Thank you for sharing. There is no way that I would get this collection

Oh this is gonna be good. Always love a MH review from you! ❤ Edit: see, I feel like if I do get them, I’ll take the cover off to put their mask up so I can see their face. Probably won’t. Maybe Cleo, since I’m her biggest self-proclaimed stan 😂

I agree 50 would have been my maybe price

Idk! I guess i am just disappointed in all 3 dolls really! When I saw the first pics of the faces and read Masquerade Runway I guess I was expecting more glamour like and when seeing the complete doll I get Super Hero vibes and just not really feeling it... I'm a huge Frankie fan and I don't care for the mask or outfit! Just so dissapointed because I was hoping the this Friday's drop would be something awesome... SO TRULY BUMMED!!!

I’m sorry. The only one I like and that I will try to get is spectra.

I would try for spectra but theyre just too expensive

is frankis green ribbon bracelets and earrings glow in the dark?

I hope I get Frankie, my priority is mainly Cleo

I really like the green💚 they incorporated and her makeup but I definitely don't think it's worth $75. The quality just isn't there this time.

bc of the color of the streaks i wondered if i might glow in the dark like twyla. i feel like this outfit is nice but its kinda.. lackluster for a collector doll.

Girl how did you got it please I'm a fan to please tell me

i like this doll and hopefully will get her

Tbh if they put Jenafire long in the collection it would be freaky fabulous

Is creepover Twyla still being sold/produced?

while they’re fine as a doll, no way are they worth 75$. they just look so low effort compared to the original haunt couture dolls, which all feel so high quality and fancy, they rlly feel like collectors. the skullectors have also gone downhill with their quality so hard, it feels like mattel testing how cheap they can get with these skullector dolls.

I don’t think Mattel would ever go as far as giving poly to a collector doll (thankfully!!!)

cant wait for spectra lol

I love the New Grindr ghouls 🔥

ugh why do they have to make such a good face and hair and have boring outfits. its not fair😩If it was cheaper id buy it

😤😤🤷‍♀️pass b/c probably will be impossible to get and it ain't worth the money or aggravation...

The first three HC MH that I got all had face flaws. So, if the outfit and accessories get simplified like this, I’m not risking over $100 Canadian to get one that might be wonky. I might try for Cleo, once I see her face, but definitely not Frankie.

So I actually really love her outfit, love the green and I like her makeup way better then the first. I also really love that the black streaks are mini in the back and thicker on the front. Hate a mask, it’s boring and hides her face too much! I also agree that the price is to high. But I don’t plan to her though. Now must find voltagous Frankie!!! I never realized how beautiful she is ❤

for some reason this frankie looks more like the g1 doll than the haunt couture wave 1

What I don’t understand why did they make frankie.. like we literally got a superhero version of them last year as a skullector so why do we have another one

I MIGHT go for the spectra HC doll

I didn’t know they we’re already out to buy 😮

There is so much I want to say about this doll, and none of it is nice. Honestly, there's one way to sum up my feelings on it and it's with a quote. "You're tacky and I hate you."

Npt the jacket (one of two clothes you get for75) being creased and uneven. yikes.

It's interesting that the invitation that comes with them refers to Frankie as she/her instead of they/them. Or am I mistaken about that? Also, not a fan of the price point one bit. They are very pretty though.

He was doing this🤌🏻🤌🏻 the whole intro😂

Her face is beautiful. Reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman.

I hope that they are not going to do the same this year. I mean, last year they put out Clawdeen Wolf *Haunt Couture* some time the end of the month, and shortly they put out Draculaura early next month 😞😓 did not have money for Draculaura because of it 😞 Sold my old phone to get her on ebay 😱

I agree with what a lot of the others have said. This line should NOT have had Frankie and Cleo again! That being said, Cleo is probably my favorite out of the three with her great headpiece and outfit. But I don't think this line is worth the high price point that the others have brought in. They're trying to cash in on the older collectors now that they know that they have us again. This set is lacking so much, many of which you hit on. The background is too plain, there's no extras, and what we do get is kind of basic. Her face is great, but is that worth the price? If it wasn't for the fact my husband wants her, I'd be passing on her tomorrow.

Hi I love your videos

Wow I never would’ve thought that actual G3 play line dolls look better and with more quality than this Frankie

I wonder if Mattel is putting less extravagant dolls in the collector line to free up budget in the playline. I think these dolls look good, but both this and the Cleo/Deuce two pack feel about $15 overpriced. Meanwhile, the g3 playline (unless the quality is absolutely horrible, which hasn't been an issue yet) is amazing with what we know is coming up.
