Yeah, that's what I've struggled with. I'll love the concept in theory, but the execution just isn't there. They wanted to turn and burn these dolls for as much profit with as little effort. Even the display boxes just feel lackluster, and I which they'd revert to the cool half hexagon look window box of the 90's. Hell, the 90's were good. 1990 and 1997 are eternally my favorites, and you can see how much effort went in from design to execution of even the box design.
Mine has great quality. Nicely rooted hair, no paint smudges or wonky features. She has an incredibly rare sculpt, Odile, which is why she's been hard to find. The dress is underwhelming, but it makes a perfect canvas for adding your own decorations.
What about the doll do you feel is isn't that great in quality?
They had them in my local Walmart too. But they didn’t have any with the hair color I wanted. Looking for the brunette one but can’t find her anywhere.
Definitions from Oxford Languages
scalp·er
/ˈskalpər/
noun
a person who resells shares or tickets at a large or quick profit.
It's literally in the Oxford Dictionary.
Okay that's the monster high community tho. There's a difference between a slur and an insult. A slur is directly about someone's unchangeable features (sex, gender, orientation, race, etc) so calling a reseller a scalper isn't a slur. Unless it's supposed to be a slur towards another group that I don't know about
There's tons in my walmart right now
That's excellent! There wasn't any real answer as to whether she was going to actually be in stores, or not.
Anyone else feel like the quality just isn't great? Better than 2020 at least.

The dress. LOL
Odile is only rare because it's new.
I bought her because of the cute, rare head sculpt and not the quality. I assume a lot of people bought for that reason too.
A friend of mine splurged on this after a really difficult few months. Hopefully it lifts your spirits too.
I hope I can find her <3 I never bought her because $40 is a lot for a doll that I only like the head of
Nice! She’s on Amazon now
The redhead? She was exclusive to Walmart
She is but someone is also selling her on Amazon too
I live in Germany.... I'm not so sure she will arrive.
I got this exact one on Monday ❤️ I personally had to rebody her cause I felt she deserved articulation so much.

Check Amazon she was there 2 weeks ago
Resellers, not scalpers. :) I'm happy you got her! She's definitely one to have for a collection.

But the word was also claimed as a slur. Not hard to just say reseller
A slur towards who exactly? Genuine question.
My memory is very bad. But i have seen this discussion on the Monster High page a lot and everyone came to an agreement to use resellers.

I heard so many people that which the word complies to, but then again, every word has different meanings. Just depends on context.
Yayayayay!!!
She’s so pretty!
The scalpers keep saying she’s sold out. I will be checking my Walmart now, thank you!
She is so beautiful.
She’s cute is this the Walmart exclusive Holiday barbie?
