Mattel's Monster High

[Werewolf]

Found Rochelle Goyle tonight at Walmart. I've been cutting back on my MH collecting because I haven't been really liking a lot of the new MH releases. I haven't cared for or got any of the recent variants and I've passed on Nefera so far. But I couldn't pass up Rochelle. I've always dug Gargoyles and she looks very cool. Very gothic. Her outfit is black, white and silver with a terrific fleurs de lis pattern. Her plastic is grey and speckled to look like stone and It's done very well. One of the nicer MH releases in some time.

Nick is running a movie tomorrow. Monster High:Escape from Skull Shores. It airs at 6 P.M. Eastern/5 Central. I'm guessing it's because it's Friday the 13th.

Hello my fellow MM members. Did anyone else take advantage of the Monster High deal where you can get a Frankie Stein for $4.13?
After we found the TRU flyer/coupon on the internet last night we went into the store and my two daughters grabbed the maximum total per coupon, 3. What a deal, we got 3 and still paid less than what one would normally cost.

Watched the MH special. It was fun. Some nice King Kong homages thrown in.

After about a month long drought of literally NO MH merch on shelves at multiple stores, I was surprised to find this little guy in a beat up box with a lone Nefera at one Target today, and another in a pristine box all by his lonesome at a Target a few miles away...



No sign of the Gargoyle's daughter yet (who I'm sure will be more popular with the tween gals, despite Jackson's nerdy swagger), but I was very surprised to see the son of Dr. Jekyll considering he is the short-packed new release in this latest assortment...

Wave 7 Case (April '12)
2 x Rochelle Goyle
1 x Jackson Jekyll
1 x Abbey Bominable
1 x Operetta
1 x Nefera De Nile

...and considering he's also the only 2012 Basic NOT slotted for any future waves later this year (unless he pops up again at Christmas), so grab him if you see him!

Wave 8 Case (August '12)
2 x Venus McFlytrap
2 x Robecca Steam
1 x Rochelle Goyle
1 x Abbey Bominable

Wave 9 Case (September '12)
2 x Venus McFlytrap
2 x Lagoona Blue (late 2011 Basic reissue AKA "School's Out")
1 x Rochelle Goyle
1 x Robecca Steam

EDIT: Made the rounds this morning and found Rochelle - YAY!

my daughter had some birthday money and wanted to get the Frankie Stein and Claudine dolls from the sweet 1600 line so i ordered them on target.com. she promptly broke Frankies leg in a day so I contacted Mattel customer service to see if they could seel replacement legs. i was surprised by their response that they were sending a new doll. great service. now i just have to deal with an 8 yr old asking every day if it came yet

Jackson makes me think Peter Parker everytime I see him. And you found 2 of them? Awesome. I have been trying to find a Gil for some time now, but it seems that the boys are just too hard to come across.

Thanks Harbingerboy for the case times and lot assortments-that lets me know when to look. I was lucky and caught Rochelle and Jackson on amazon for 21.99 one day last week and should receive them Thursday. Today my local Wal-mart got in a shipment of the Dead Tired dolls and I picked up a Draculaura for our little girl

just to note: those look like Ent. Earth release dates which are not necessarily what you see for release at the big box stores. Most times they are lagging a bit behind.
EE shows July for the new Dead Tired case lots, but you have already found a Draculaura.

Finally got Meowlody and Purrsephonie for the missus today.
