Monster HighDraculaura Doll, Special Howliday Edition

She is too gorgeous!! Everything came perfectly packed, the box is nice and she is very beautiful. A nice addition to any collector’s shelf!

When the Monster High Twitter said these were arriving October 18th, boy, did they NOT mean it. Even when visiting a large US city, every single Walmart and Target I visited multiple times from the 18th-20th hasn't seen hide nor hair of her on their trucks. Wherever she's stocking as of right now, it doesn't seem to be in any retail stores, online or in-house.So I admit it, I'm one of the few who caved to the scalpers. A 100% markup from MSRP seems like it'll be small on this doll in the long run with how high demand is.She's gorgeous; I took her out with bated breath from the shipping box, examining her all over. No scuffs, no factory defects. Teensy bit of paint overlay on one earring, but really minor. It feels amazing to get a new G1 doll like this with so many exquisite details and gorgeous fashion.I will say (though I haven't removed her from her original box) there doesn't seem to be a full stand in it? There's the pole, but no base in the box anywhere as far as I can see. An oversight in my box alone, or something other people are seeing in theirs too?

Not sure how to fix the delivery review but I mixed up this order with other Monster High dolls I got on Ebay. I guess the ebay seller originally got the other 2 monster high dolls I ordered off of Amazon because it was in an Amazon box but thankfully this order actually is correct and the doll is beautiful. I am satisfied with purchase. Thanks:)

I started collecting Barbie dolls in the early 1990s off and on. I always wanted a Barbie doll when I was a kid, but my single mom couldn't afford them. So, as an adult nothing was stopping me & I could afford it so, why not? It's a great hobby.I only discovered the Monster High dolls in 2019, but I wish I had been paying attention before that -- oh, the wasted years! I would have gone wild -- I love these dolls and at that time, the prices were what I thought were kind of affordable until I saw one that was about $35; but I can't imagine how an average parent with an average income trying to buy them for their kids, for example, could afford them. I'm only responsible for myself.I joined the Mattel website, because I really, really wanted this Draculaura but on the day it became available, even though I was stalking/lurking their website, it was already sold out! I would have loved to have the It clown doll, but the price it is now is a grocery bill.I'm cheap, and I hesitate spending what I think is too much for a doll. $75 is usually more than I want to spend on a doll -- actually, $20 is more than I want to pay for a doll. I waited and eventually paid a little lower than $75 for Ms. Draculaura.I do think this doll is worth it and I do plan to leave her in the box. If I could afford it, I would simply buy two and leave one in the box, and display and play with the other -- but I can't always afford it -- I have bills to pay, food to eat, prescriptions to fill. Again, if I can't afford it, I hate to think what parents with girls and boys who love these dolls think.In many ways, it is a shame that the prices are so high, and I think jacked up because of their collectability when essentially, in my opinion, they are toys for the kiddies -- and I think the original price should reflect that. As a collector, if I have to spend more well then that's on me.

Coleccionable y hermoso

I was worried waiting for her delivery as she was being shipped to the UK, i would be okay with a damaged box i expected it to break maybe but to my surprise, she came in perfect condition! the box at the top was opened and yes there are some very small dents but so unnoticeable!! some hair on her fringe was sticking out slightly but easily fixable.Overall, i’m so happy her and the box came in good condition, her screening on her face is perfect besides from one fang being a bit faint.If you’re thinking of buying her and you’re from the UK like me, go for it :)

Can only speak to my experience but very happy with this. Usually don't leave reviews on anything but don't know if this is a smaller retailer and feel like they really deserve credit if they are. The markup for something limited edition and no longer being manufactured doesn't seem unreasonable, but more importantly they sent this all the way to Ireland no problem and in a very reasonable amount of time, very well packaged to avoid damage-double boxed. Some people are remarking theirs have messed up fringes-can only say that this one had no such problem, and I actually think that might be an issue on the manufacturers end rather than this seller. Probably a luck of the draw thing.I think this only released on the Mattel shop so I assume they bought as many of these as possible over end customers specifically to resell them at a markup-maybe not good in principle I guess but I'm very grateful they did since this is the best gift I've ever managed to get for my mother and she didn't know about the online sale as it was happening, so would never have got this otherwise. If you want this now and its worth this price to you I'd absolutely recommend ordering from these guys.

I chipped her ear while opening but shes stunnerella!
