I'm not...Can I comment on a really old post? :)<br />I'm not surprised you ranked Rochelle at #1. She wasn't the first from that group that I bought (I got Robecca first). I was getting a bit tired of all the pink on the dolls, and her pink hair wasn't doing her any favours in my book. But once I bought her; Dang! She's beautiful. I think her style will end up doing her good, because Robecca is steampunk, Venus is eco-punk, while Rochelle doesn't fit into any particular theme. She seems to be as diverse as Frankie Stein. I only wish her teal streaks were periwinkle or sky blue instead.<br /><br />I gave it a thought, and while I didn't come up with a top 10, myself, I came up with my 7 favourite dolls from 2012;<br />(In no particular order): Ghouls Rule Frankie, (greyscale) Skull Shores Frankie, I Love Fashion Frankie, Scary Tales Clawdeen, Dot Dead Gorgeous Operetta, Skull Shores Cleo, and like you, signature Rochelle. (Can you tell I love Frankie? lol)<br /><br />BTW, will you do a top 10 of 2013 at the end of the year? I have a feeling quite a few of the Scaris dolls will make it in. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837248507373134399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-41042945132255340152013-04-24T18:51:59.725-05:002013-04-24T18:51:59.725-05:00Yeah, doing a trade of a non-boxed doll for a boxe...Yeah, doing a trade of a non-boxed doll for a boxed one can be tough, but I have seen it happen!

I don't have any friends really, and no one I know owns any dolls anyway. I have a younger niece with lots of dolls but since she is little she mishandles them majorly. Lots of missing hands, accessories, clothes, and messed up hair. On extra dolls I might do something different to their hair. They can be my experiments haha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428116647771823933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-69528274955233932132013-04-23T19:59:33.358-05:002013-04-23T19:59:33.358-05:00I see :) Well, just keep in mind you can sell thos...I see :) Well, just keep in mind you can sell those extra dolls online, or even use them to trade for dolls you don't yet have.

Well I was only collecting basics in the beginning because I don't have a job or anything and my mom thought I spent too much money on them. Everytime I brought one home I would get in trouble. But one day, when I asked if I could buy one she said "it's your money-do what you want with it." I was sooo happy! After saving so much I kinda bought so much....too much...maybe she was trying to teach me a lesson by letting me handle money on my own because I did a pretty bad job at it. Also, I can't drive. It's a major setback in my doll-collecting because my family doesn't shop at Target or TRU so I can rarely get my hands on some exclusives. I frequent Walmart often though I really would like some exclusives from the other stores...When she takes me to Kohls she expects me to buy clothes so I can never get special dolls there. Is it sad that my only reason I want to learn to drive is so I can go out to get MH dolls? haha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428116647771823933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-65132183333921275342013-04-23T19:20:27.581-05:002013-04-23T19:20:27.581-05:00Don't forget you can always buy SS Draculaura ...Don't forget you can always buy SS Draculaura and Ghoulia as solo versions, and SS Cleo and Clawdeen can sometimes be found sold on their own on eBay, often for what you'd pay for them if they were sold solo anyway (that is, not too badly inflated). That way you're not doubling up on dolls you don't need! Or you could buy the solo Dracu and Ghoulia, and also the full Target set, and sell the extras you don't need on eBay yourself! Whatever the case, you definitely need a Cleo doll in your life, be it SS or otherwise!

I really want SS Cleo and Clawdeen looks cute too. The sad thing is, I don't own ANY Cleo dolls! I usually buy my dolls in-store because I like to inspect them in person, and none of her dolls are around. There just aren't that many dolls of her, as far as I can tell. I got into MH kind of late and missed the Wave 1 basics and DOTD.

I prefer the solo versions of both dolls by far! My solo SS Ghoulia has a beautiful, perfectly shaped bouffant, while the Target one has scary granny hair! In the case of SS Draculaura, the Target doll has cheaper-looking face paint, and her outfit overall feels of lesser quality. I prefer her solo doll by far, as well!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614336806159509795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-78258828027227638092013-04-22T15:39:04.035-05:002013-04-22T15:39:04.035-05:00Welcome, Helena! I'm so glad you like the blog...Welcome, Helena! I'm so glad you like the blog! I have to say I'm both happy and ashamed that I got you into buying MH dolls beyond the basics and new characters lol. In MH fandom a *lot* of people only collect the basic/signature versions of characters. To me this is very limiting because, imo, some of the most unique, beautiful, and interesting dolls are released within the themed and budget lines. So here at Voicething I often try to spread the word that "Hey, that Skultimate Roller Maze Frankie or Dead Tired Cleo or Skull Shores Lagoona you passed on because she was a budget doll is actually *really* cool!" The fact that so many of these dolls -- such as DT Cleo -- are among so many people's favorites, says a lot!<br /><br />Of course, the downside is, as you point out, it can get very expensive very fast! A lot of it comes down to really studying the dolls, thinking it over, and choosing only the ones that *really* appeal to you. But it can beough. As I like to say, I only buy the dolls I like, but I like 90% of what's released! Lol<br /><br />A big thank you back if you read all of what I wrote! ;)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614336806159509795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-69159598212444134922013-04-22T14:10:52.517-05:002013-04-22T14:10:52.517-05:00Also, which SS Ghoulia do you own?

Do you own the SS Draculaura wide-release and the Target release as well? Again, if you do, which do you like better/what are the differences?

I just wanted to comment and well this comment may be long. Your reviews are the best I've seen for sure, and I love how many pictures you've taken. Before I discovered this blog I collected dolls but only like, new characters, basics, and maybe a few themed ones I just really liked. After seeing all your dolls and reviews, I now collect MANY more dolls! I love every doll and line, I'm easy to please. The bad thing about this is my money...collecting playsets, fashion packs, dolls etc costs so much! My parents and boyfriend think it's a waste of money, but to me, it's money worth spent. I want basically every doll released ever, I know that's like impossible, especially considering how expensive SDCC's exclusives and older, out-of-production dolls cost. However, I think I'll get there someday! I'm proud to own 30 dolls, cleo's vanity and Abbey's bed, and the 4 Scaris fashion packs. Unfortunately, this is already alot, and when I buy a new doll or attempt to, I get in trouble with my parents because I'm "running out of room." I won't be completely out of room until my dolls flood my hallway! Just wanted to comment on what an inspiration you are to me and my doll collecting. Oh, and a big thank you if you actually read all of that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428116647771823933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-59415510983943987372013-02-20T16:14:07.917-06:002013-02-20T16:14:07.917-06:00What a great post John!
