The collection grows bigger!! I’ve managed to snag some of my biggest ISO’s!! (First is my pic, other two seller pics as I don’t have them on hand quite yet)

River is in perfect condition other than missing a few accessories and having slightly wobbly leg joints, I paid $90 for her! Next an original Rochelle (no pet/diary includes official black stand) + Garrott in full perfect condition! (Includes black rose accessory/diary/official black stand) I paid $115 for them both together! They come this Wednesday. Then my latest investment Ghoul Chat Rochelle!! She’s in excellent condition and includes everything seen in the picture including the official black stand. I paid 90 GBP and am awaiting her from overseas!

Lesson is always check the depths of Ebay, you might find your grail! (Btw none of this pricing included shipping, tax, and customs costs I had to pay lol 🥹)

I’ve been thinking about how I’m pretty sure we hadn’t had a release of dolls in stores before the new reproductions since 2022 with the reel drama line. I’m getting kind of tired of Mattel creations exclusives and the early access stuff that just lets it sell out faster.

I really just wish they made the reel drama line at least like one doll bigger and at least added ghoulia. But honestly I’d love another line soon with Ghoulia, Abbey, Spectra, Rochelle, Robecca, and maybe Venus? I’ve seen some really good ones done custom they just cost an arm and a leg since it is a process and I’m not accustomed to doing customs myself 😭

(Fan made Rochelle concept I found on TikTok from a doll they made as an example above)

I need some serious help!! My second hand reel drama lagoona came and her right arm was a bit loose, not so noticeably so that I gave the seller a bad review right? However- as it’s been about a week and I’ve been admiring her and looking at her, I noticed when I went to place Neptuna in her hand, the arm would just slide down and not stay in place, this didn’t bother me until the whole wrist and arm fell LIMP and I was able to visibly swing it slightly…I checked again and she hasn’t been able to do it since but I just don’t understand?

Every time I try and place her back in her position it looks like she’s about to drop Neptuna, or bowl her into a set of pins. Not to mention I also noticed it looks like her hands are on backwards? The seller contacted me about two days ago now, however I didn’t get to see what message they sent me as an admin of Mercari deleted it..do you think it was important or maybe a threat?..I gave her 5 stars and an amazing review and was always nice to her. I never mentioned any damage, even the brown on the hair as it was never that big of a deal..however this really makes me sad as I spent about $50 on her

I’ve been into monster high basically since I could comprehend, however I haven’t gotten into the “collector space” so to say until about maybe a month ago so I have a lot of Monster High related search terms saved to scout for things but ended up seeing this. I hope the buyer is happy and I mean good for the seller I guess but jeez that seems like a LOT to me. Has it always been like this in the community? Because honestly it’s just impressive the dedication that some people put into their collections..

(This isn’t hate on the seller at all, I think their page is nice and they have reasonably priced dolls for everything else on their page)
