Mattel's Monster High

[Werewolf]

What scale are these figures?

Here's a pic I posted a while back showing the scale with Mego.

What scale are these figures? Only reason I ask is the bodies for these figures both female and male have potential in making some really good Japanese Anime Megolike figures. I'm not talking about the new Anime junk...but the classic stuff like Harlock, Queen Millenia and a few others. Just curious.

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.

And those are the ones I'm debating collecting... Gil is great.

Will Mattel be doing the beast character from the Skull Shoals film?

Buyers beware! Mattel's throwing Monster High into exclusive-overkill in 2012...

Food for thought...I'll be surprised if we don't see an exclusive Monster High School Playset with Headless Headmistress Bloodgood pack-out at X retailer right around Xmas, after everyone has already dropped $100 for one. We know the tooling has been done for her for some time.

I'd much rather see her with Night-mare, but this wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[Werewolf]

Thanks for all the new pics Harbingerboy.

Way, way too many exclusives. Gonna pass on all of them. I do think Dot Dead Gorgeous Ghoulia is cute as heck though. Love the retro perm. I'd get her if she was a single release.

The Shop Rite near me has Frankiestein for $7.99. Don't know if that's cheap...just thought I'd give everyone a heads up if they are looking for one.

You saw it coming from 1,000 miles away...Like last year's Gloom Beach 5-Pack, Skull Shores is getting the same treatment at TARGET. It's a bit of a better deal this year with 3 new dolls (technically). The Skull Shores cast is now complete with SS Cleo, SS Clawdeen and technicolor SS Frankie!



Dead Tired returns only at K-MART, the only place to find DT Abbey, as well as 2.0 Clawdeen & Draculaura.



The previously announced Coffin Bean playset w/CB Clawdeen will be popping up everywhere soon, but will get an exclusive pack-out w/CB Draculaura only at COSTCO.



Ghoulia's Scooter and Draculaura's Powder Room will also be showing up very soon, but TOYS R US will be the only place to get these with exclusive Ghoulia & Draculaura dolls!




Draculaura's Sweet 1600 Roadster will be reissued as a JC PENNY exclusive with all-new Draculaura.



The ridiculously themed/named Dot Dead Gorgeous expands its ranks with DDG Draculaura, Abbey & Ghoulia in a WAL-MART exclusive 3-pack. Similar to Wal-Mart's elusive DotD 3-pack last year, this time sees all new dolls.



The Skultimate (?) Roller Maze sees a K-MART exclusive 2-pack with new RM Abbey and the widely available RM Ghoulia.



KOHL'S will be getting exclusive Clawdeen & Operetta dolls dressed in their most recent fashion packs (shipping now). Expect these in the smaller boxes like last year's 'Killer Style/Day at the Maul' Frankie & Draculaura which popped up at discount chains and mom & pop shops.



Finally, only at TARGET, a new 'Collector Quality' line (ie: even higher price point) called 'Scary Tales' including a very cool Clawdeen, a meh Frankie and a busted Draculaura!




Scary Tales has potential, but after the 'deluxe' Sweet 1600 and Ghouls Rule price points, I'll be scaling back to basics. Literally. MH is starting to really jump the shark with some of these subsets, and I think if they're going for longevity with MH, they're gonna have to be a little more creative than some of these hits and misses. But hey, anything with a skullette on the box is flying off the shelves, so drive it into the ground, Mattel!

SDCC 2012 exclusive still TBA. All prices and shipping dates TBA.

I dunno how you guys even find this line and collect it, without the 2ndary Market.

It's a muggleforker sometimes, but patience seems to be the way to go. I learned my lesson when I overreactedand went to evilbay for Nefera and Operetta.

[BlackKnight]

^^^ Everyone says that about everything on Amazon.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Be careful ordering from Amazon. I just received Jackson and Rochelle and the boxes are thrashed!

Finally got Meowlody and Purrsephonie for the missus today.

[rche]

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.

[Earth2Wife]

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
