Monster High Comeback 2022 Options

[Zhanneel]

All news regarding the new line of Monster High dolls.

We all felt that the end of classic MH back in 2015 was like having a door slammed in our face. We were stuck with those mediocre reboot dolls and we tried so hard to stomach the reboot movies… Until we all walked away from the franchise that had once been epic.

The fans continued to tell Mattel to bring MH back, and low and behold, someone listened!

There have been tons of rumors and snippets of doll clothes and accessories floating around, and it looks like tomorrow the Instagram MH account will be making an official announcement about a few of the doll releases. So now, let’s see what they have in store. Are we going to get an upgrade on classic MH?

Hopefully classics, the movies were not great for the reboot but the cartoon reboot was decent

Good point, the reboot animated series was more interesting than the reboot movies. It was smarter, witty, and just more entertaining. I'm interested in seeing news about the new animated series to come. So far it sounds like the styles will be toned down for high school. There is a prototype picture going around where all the girls are wearing flat shoes. More complaints from parents about the fashion? Seems like the problems with Winx censorship are spreading.



Ironically, the rival Rainbow High brand has no problem showcasing high heels all over the place. 😆

Okay, now for the doll update. As most have already seen, the preorder for the collector Frankie doll came and went. But here's the info anyway:

On Friday, February 18th, the first of 5 MH collector dolls was released for preorder after only 24 hours of it being advertised by the Instagram MH account. This was most likely to force buyers into making a snap decision and making it seem as if the doll is limited. No one knows if the dol actually sold out or if the preorder just naturally ended at a preset time.

The dolls are sold at $75 USD each on MattelCreations.com. There is lots of controversy regarding this price, even from adult collectors who could buy the doll but do not feel like the value is substantially greater than some classic MH dolls.

Also, there is another bit of controversy in false advertising from Mattel. The collector Frankie doll is being officially advertised on the purchasing site as having hand painted eyes, whereas the pictures from doll influencers gifted the dolls clearly shows that this is not the doll actually being sold. Many collectors are upset, as the hand painted eyes are more vivid and detailed, and feel that this is very much false advertising.

Here are the pictures so you can decide.
