Mattel's Monster High

[rche]

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

According to the Monster High website the Black and White Skull Shores Frankies weren't supposed to be put out until Friday April 13th and retail for $4.13. If any stores have them still in stock on Friday they should be $4.13- I think TRU has her in their store advertisement for the sale price on Friday.

Oh, so they probably pulled them all for the ad.

The tags for the Frankies read full price at Wal-Mart, but when you scanned them, they were $4.13. It was kind of a hush-hush promotion. Very strange. And it wasn't even an exclusive as I first thought.

When I bought mine they did have the $4.13 price on the peg tag. Doesn't matter they're all gone. I wonder why Target & Walmart allow Mattel to leave a four foot section completely empty for weeks at a time? Surprised they haven't lost the shelf space.

If any stores have them in stock is the real question. $4.13 is even more of an incentive for the rampant scalping that happens with this line.

I came upon a fresh case of these in a small town Wal on a road trip a couple of weeks ago. So I know at least two little girls who had some happy smiles under their Easter bonnets from the early release of the toys.

The two new dolls that should be coming out next are Jackson Jekyll in normal clothes and a new character Rochelle Goyle. I will be on the look-out :O) A few have trickled out already.

I bought mine for 12 something at Meijer. I already gave it to my Daughter for easter. Toys r us told me there are new dolls with a street date for April 18...

^Ah, now that makes sense!

Meijer stores have a complete endcap with all the skull shores including the black and white Frankie.
