Anyone else collect Monster high dolls?
 
Is it just me? They seem popular, but I rarely meet anyone else that likes them :\

Anyone else collect Monster high dolls? And if so, do you have a favorite one?

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 08-16-2011 01:45 AM

I don't collect them. But I do ogle them at the store. :lol:

Whoa, looking at the site, I didn't know there were more than 4-5. :XD

My niece collects them. After I get my cubby shelves built for my desk, I may fill a few shelves with MH dolls.

My favorite is Abbey. She's just too adorable. :squee:

Squidie64 08-16-2011 03:01 AM

@Ikuto Lol, yeah, there's a whole bunch! I have a bunch of them

@Anna Abbey is my second fave :heart: She's so cuuute! My favorite is Lagoona :heart: I have a shelf for all of the basic ones, but I had to stick all the beach ones I have and the two other ones on my vanity dresser. I need more shelves lol

I want to start collecting them but I don't have the money to buy them and no one ever buys me them Christmas/birthdays.
Draculaura, Clawdeen, Abby and Cleo are my favorites - in that order ^.^

Abduco 08-16-2011 04:44 AM

I remember my friends and I going to Target and just ogling them. xD I wish I had them to play with when I was 10 or so!
But I don't collect stuff in general, I lose track of things a lot haha.

Nephila 08-16-2011 05:17 AM

My sister does. She has so many of them in her room it's creepy.

Squidie64 08-16-2011 07:26 AM

@Codette I don't have a lot of money either. I collect them bit by bit. I put money aside here and there to buy fun things. It's a good stress relief to buy something fun and I saw Draculaura in the store around Halloween last year and said to myself '....I want that'. I have two Draculauras now lol The regular one and my boyfriend bought me the Gloom Beach one. I looooove Abbey :heart: But I can't find her anywhere yet. She's supposed to come out this month, though. I like Clawdeen and Cleo, too, but there aren't my fave. Funnily enough, though, I have three Cleo dolls and she's my least favorite lol

@Abduco I wish I had them when I was younger, too! I normally don't collect things and I didn't intend to collect these at first, but they're so cute, I couldn't help it.

@Nephila Awh, they aren't creepy :( A little cheesy, but, you know. I don't play with mine or anything. They just sit on the shelves, but is it still creepy? O_o So far, everyone I know said there's nothing wrong with it. Probably because they're nerds who collect action figures, but eh. Am I creepy? :(

I wish I could collect those dolls.
I have to wait to get my own money for that though.
My mom is against me buying "Barbies" at my age (16).
So in the future, I definitely want to buy Draculara...I think I spelled her name right.

Squidie64 08-17-2011 06:01 PM

Ah, I know how you feel. I'm almost 22, so my mom won't buy them for me, but she doesn't mind if I buy them for myself. As long as I'm not 'wasting my money' on them, she says. So if I buy one here or there, she doesn't gripe about it. Although, she hunted down a Holt Hyde for me on Ebay last December. She was ruthless lol She was outbit so many times. She was so sure that she'd be outbid again that she won 2 by mistake. lol

Draculaura was the first one I bought :) She's so adorable!

Amelia 08-17-2011 06:35 PM

I don't collect them, but I love to look at them in the store. They're so cute! I wish they had more stuff like that around when I was younger. I for sure would have loved them.

lightkanna 08-17-2011 11:09 PM

I have never heard of them so I google them and then I realize you were talking about them. I don't collect them nor do I want too. But they are quite pretty, I suppose. o.o;

Nacara 08-18-2011 12:32 AM

What were monster dolls?

Squidie64 08-18-2011 01:28 AM

These are Monster High dolls.

They're cheesy and the stories are lame, but they were so cute, that I couldn't resist. And now I'm working on collecting them. It's a nice stress relief to get something fun, so collecting them has lowered my stress level. No matter how stupid that sounds lol, it's true

Bookwormness 08-18-2011 02:07 AM

They're cute. I would get one.

Mystic 08-18-2011 09:33 PM

They're cute. I can see why people would collect them. Some of the dolls are pretty too.

They remind me of Bratz dolls with how they're shaped and the eyes.

Squidie64 08-18-2011 10:25 PM

My little sister had a bunch of Bratz dolls when she was younger and I never liked them. I can see the resemblance, but for some reason, I never liked Bratz. Dunno why. O_o I thought it was funny, though, that when you wanted to change their shoes, their whole foot came off lol

Mystic 08-18-2011 10:46 PM

I babysat a friend's daughter on Sat and wondered why the Bratz dolls did not have feet. XD I guess that solves that. I think the Monster High dolls are much cuter though. XD

Squidie64 08-18-2011 10:57 PM

For a while, one of my sister's dolls only had one foot. She had misplaced the other shoe. When I asked, she said '...I dunno. ..Maybe she's a pirate. .....I lost the shoe, okay?!' It was amusing lol

Gin Oshira 08-19-2011 12:36 AM

Mmh. I think I prefer custom-made BJDs.
Although, I really do like the MH Dolls. They are pretty fancy and cute. : )
Going to take a look now that I was informed there were more, made.

Squidie64 08-19-2011 01:20 AM

BJDs are cute, too, but I can't tell you how guilty I would feel after buying one. They're way too expensive for me. My brother gave me a Wishing Pot a few years ago and that was my wish, to buy one with the money I saved in the pot, but a few months ago, I changed my mind and used the wish for something else. They're pretty and I love to look at them, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much :\

As for more, yeah, there were a ton more made. It's up to about 30 dolls from the original 5, plus the SDCC release of Black and White Frankie

Gin Oshira 08-19-2011 01:29 AM

They are indeed rather pricey. I've yet to purchase my own. I would probably feel guilty too, but it'd be nice to have at least one to admire and claim as your own. Regardless of the costs. I mean, possibly someday if you ever roll in the dough, it'd be nice to be able to treat yourself to one if that is what you really want. : P

I would more or less use the money for purchasing myself a new wardrobe. I am still wearing clothing I used to wear back in high school when I was 17. I am almost 20 now. : (

I checked it out! The dolls look really cute!

Squidie64 08-19-2011 08:52 PM

Yeah, I agree. If I ever had a super awesome job and everything was taken care of, I'd get one with some extra money. I'd love to have one :heart: They're so pretty

Nonsensical 08-19-2011 10:49 PM

The first time I heard about Monster High dolls was when I heard people say they used some of their clothing for ABJDs. I can't see myself buying one now, but I think I would've liked one a few years ago when I was into Bratz.

@ Squidie64: & Gin Oshira:: Bobobie and Reisinsoul (they're like cousin/sister companies and share some of the same sculpts) aren't as expensive as most companies. There's also Doll Leaves (I think) and Angel of Dream. :)
