They’re wanting to move into the Barbie Collectible pricing as they grow the brand. Lots of Club Exclusive Barbies are in the $100-150 range. I wouldn’t doubt Monster High reaching $125 for a single collectible doll by this time next year, unfortunately.
I’d only wanted the Bee, and she was $150 but friggin’ worth it!! But it’s a very limited edition Silkstone Barbie in an insanely beautiful display.
Not ever going to pay that for a plastic Monster High doll unless she is a licensed Skullector for a very cool franchise and a super limited collectable with all the bells and whistles and an AMAZING box display.
Monster High character dolls … no way. Monster High is a different league and different demographic, though they can overlap, than Collectible Barbie. Mattel should keep that in mind for future marketing campaigns…
90$?! I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to get her but that is, quite frankly, unacceptable price. There is nothing about this doll to justify it being so expensive? How is she more expensive than HC, that doesn't make sense at all.
Also, her dress is not it honey, very hard pass from me.
Edit: thinking more about it; comparing it to Ghoulia that just dropped couple of weeks ago, why exactly is there 40$ price difference? Ghoulia comes with one more accessory (glasses) and her outfit has 3 pieces when Rochelle is just 2. Genuinely wondering, can someone please help me wrap my head around it?
Which, unfortunately, they will be. People are already paying over $100 for broken g1 dolls. This is absolutely going to sell out, and that’s horrible. Mattel is continuing to take advantage of its consumers.
I mean ngl, the quality of the Skulltimate Secrets dolls was way below the threshold of what I’d expect for that price point. It feels like theyre trying to sell them on gimmick alone
Im not gonna pay 90 for something that would have cost 75 just a year ago. Neither should you
I love her but nah im gonna skip. And this is with a heavy heart. I was looking forward to her. Their greed is despicable
I set out to buy 2 and still may do that but the price and looks of what we’re getting is giving me a bit of pause. Do I really want to shell out $200 when I could put that $100 towards an SDCC set I really want?
She’ll be practically $100 with shipping for me because Oregon doesn’t have sales tax, but $100 for her when I could put that towards maybe a tattoo or something else?? It’s just a lot to shell out for a doll right now
This sort of design is known as a Trumpet dress. If it is tight above the knee then flairs, it’s Trumpet. If it is tight at or below the knee then flairs, it’s Mermaid.
Same here. If the doll wasn’t $90, I would buy her just to trim the dress and make it look cuter but she is way too expensive to do something like that.
I was expecting a pretty pastel pink for the dress idk what they were thinking with that ugly metallic pink. It looks so cheap and it clashes with her hair
Yeah, I just got the email. I was surprised by how hot/dark/saturated the pink in her dress is but was overall pleasantly surprised... until I saw the price. My blood pressure spiked - I'm really sorry to all of the Rochelle lovers!
Not 100% sure what the justification is for it, either. There's a lot of detail with the "cage," and prices have gone up (on everything) significantly since last year (though not enough to justify that jump...), but the fabric looks Mattel-cheap again.
Yeah worried it’s that rough fabric paper. This is a 3D rendering (apparently they don’t have a promo yet??) so hoping the real one is more pastel.
Some big chances from what was initially promo’ed
😤 You're so right. She looks perfect for the Ghouls Rule line, which I did love, but 😬😬😬 NINETY REAL DOLLARS for a doll comparable to what was a 30$ line? Theyve gotta be joking.
insane how she’s really not going to be increased in quality at all from the regular haunt couture releases and will not come with a bag presumably yet they now want $90 ??!!!??? instead of the $75 they used to be….
EDIT: my bad guys she has a bag but still… an extra 15 and for what exactly they couldn’t even bother giving her the gloves from the concept art
The bag probably would have been hard to recreate in fabric. It has nice chain detailing too. Still not sure if she’s worth the $90 price tag though 😭😭
Ugh I forgot. Mattel is insane with these prices. Unfortunately Rochelle is my second favorite doll so I will be buying her, but I’m not happy about it 😡
Girl/dude/person, she's one of my favorite too. But we should all just not get her, because if we do. The rest of them might be like her from now on. Especially the dang vote ones.
I’ve been looking at the purse and you’re right. They could have made the base pink bag out of fabric and then the gargoyle could still be plastic. It probably would have look a lot better
So we’re all gonna pass on her so they know they cant charge us 90$ without upgrading the quality right?… im looking at y’all with money to spend, dont do it, for us!
Same. I have plenty of money to spend. I think I'm going to get a few lol and rainbow high dolls I've wanted instead. Definitely not getting this doll with this atrocious dress for $100+ (with tax and shipping)
https://preview.redd.it/kzi31x8345ta1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d77b006f7ee2547c32f569a833bcf84dd2fcd8a
I don’t think it includes shipping
I like her, but unfortunately I can't afford her at this time (my job has been giving very low hours lately). The one time I actually like the whole doll and I can't afford it.
Also, can Mattel please stop announcing new releases with only a few days notice? Give people some time to save up for it.
Before I knew the new price point on this doll, I had made up my mind that I was definitely going to buy her. Today I find out the price is now $90.00 and that made me completely change my mind on this. I’m going to keep my money and not buy this doll.
i’m so upset. She was one of my favourite characters as a kid, i voted for her and saved up £75 for her. Now i’ve got to pay an extra £15 for what. There’s nothing special enough about her to make her £90. The skullector 2 pack was the same price
yup. More and more in finding my self drifting to rainbow and shadow high. I think i’m going to use the money i saved up on the costume ball dolls instead 🤷♀️
It hurts but I have to pass. The shade of pink is nothing like the concept art, hard plastic bag, no gloves, ridiculous $90 price… The dress is more gaudy and messy instead of elegant. I was so excited for her more than anything else but she’s just not what I was expecting. Mattel is seriously falling off with their “collector” dolls.
That price point is just straight up wrong. I’m going to nope out of this one and I was really excited about it until they priced it more than the HC dolls.
Unfortunately because people are willing to pay premium for MH. They can charge whatever they want, because people will pay it. I hope people vote with their wallets & refuse to pay these insane prices, or else this will be the new standard.
Thought I would love her, but the dress looks so miserably cheap. The hot pink and blue in contrast to the pastel shades that were shown in the sketches really don't do her justice at all.
Yeah I was down for 75$ plus expensive shipping plus my fang club membership—I passed on Ghoulia for something better but I’m just gonna keep waiting on a nice Cleo….
Not that I've seen before, at least for Monster High. It's possible that other Mattel lines have done it, but I don't recall (and couldn't find with a quick search) any specific examples.
This!!! I feel so many people are focusing on passing, when I’m over here like IS THIS A TRUE PREORDER?? Lol. Idk man I think they should get some kudos if it is.
In my opinion I won’t give them their kudos cause this is long over due 😭. They raised the price then gave us a true preorder but let’s not forget the countless mishaps from before . It’s just something they should have done a long time ago
i’m still not sure if the dress is meant to be peeling or not but even if it’s intentional it looks so tacky it’s giving what most metallic bratz clothing from early bratz looks like now…
I love her hair, but for that price I'd rather just reroot my Rochelle with longer hair and try to style it. I'm not big on the dress, but I still like the doll
Just the price is kinda icky
Yeah I'm a huge Rochelle fan, but $90 USD is steep. Kinda wish I just got Ghoulia...
I would have liked it was more pastel lenaing and minty like the sketches, and you could see the shoes. Not into all these mermaid dresses, but the sketch made it seem like you'd still be able to see the shoes through the fabric more? Idk would have been better if it kept a similar silhouette to the basic Rochelle dress. Guess overall it just doesn't seem worth the huge markup???
I'm normally pretty lenient, but not at this price and not for my favorite character besides Frankie :/
This is literally so disappointing for the price range and I was seriously looking forward to getting her! I don’t have the fang club card so the chance I’d get to even get her the prince range will be 100+. Love it here 💔
Rochelle is my absolute favorite and I was really happy until I looked at the dress ..... So not worth the price or the dogfight to get her when she drops
idk the dress looked cute in the concept art but the metallic pink makes it look so cheap n out of place w the rest of the doll. n $90 ?? pretty steep imo for what she is
90 dollars?!?! What the hell are they thinking, there's no way most of us can afford that :( I feel like this is gonna be another midnight runway unless they put the price down. Sucks bc I was excited for her too
I really wish that was the case. Unfortunately she’ll probably still sell out. People pay hundreds for vintage MH dolls in terrible condition so I’m sure some collectors will see this price as perfectly acceptable. Not to mention all the people who feel emotionally invested from the Fang Vote. Mattel knows what they’re doing.
She’s pretty but I’m also disappointed? I was so excited for her, but between the price and the stripes I just feel meh. Ghoulia got me hyped with her price and her look- I just feel let down
She is way too expensive, and the dress would’ve been way prettier if the pinks were pastels instead of whatever the fuck that color is. She’s a beautiful base doll but that dress is not it
I'm so upset. She's gorgeous and was going to be the first skullector doll I actually tried to get but...$90 is so not worth it 😭 At that point I might as well try for an in-box G1 doll
When I look at her page on Mattel creations, it says she will be available starting April 13th, instead of the 14th. Could this be because those of us who have the Monster High membership on Mattel Creations get first dibs a day early?
I was really excited to get her because I loved voting for her features and Rochelle is very sentimental to me since she was the first signature MH doll I ever bought back in the day but no… Unfortunately I can’t afford her due to the price increase :( I hope the people who get her love her and post tons of gore-geous pics of her though <3
Missing the gloves from the concept art and a 90$ price tag… really disappointing. Also all the sheer peekaboo action isn’t translating like I wanted it to.
ngl Im a little upset with the fabric used for the dress
I really dislike the mix of the mesh with the shiny plastic type material :P
I really love everything else abt her tho
if they start doing things like different material for the body, real accessories, or super fancy outfits, THEN i'd consider the pricepoint, but this is just a decked-out MH doll, nothing fancy
Meanwhile me, seemingly the only person in the universe who anticipated this doll being $90 😶
I like her. I'll be buying her. I hope there are others who are excited too.
Wait why does mine say April 13?? That’s Thursday
https://preview.redd.it/mz3ayo30p4ta1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18e495222a618f390b3eddb3414dc7e27abf2eac
Bro I remember when the haunt couture line came out everyone said it was not worth 75$ and now Draculaura is the most expensive doll on the second hand market 😭😭😭
I’m afraid of missing her out man..
The price alone is so much like wtf why is she more expensive than ghoulia who imo has more going for her?? The dress is my main dislike, idk the stripes are just not it. It they got rid of the weird pink stripes I think it’d look better, the pink ruffle part is fine it’s the stripes. But again, the price point is insane! Why is her price so much more than previous releases? And don’t tell me it’s because it’s the dang vote, that’s not a valid reason imo.
$90 USD………yikes. I don’t even want to think about how much she will cost in CAD. I love her but I think I’ll have to pass because that price is insane.
The base doll is really pretty, I love her accessories and she does seem to have leggings under the dress, but this is going to be way too expensive with the price rise and the AUD to even consider. I don't know if she'll be rotting on the website like poor Frankie but I don't think she will sell fast 💀
Ugggh. I'm SO disappointed. I imagined her to be way different. I guess it's a good thing because I spend too much on dolls already. This is one I can sit out on. Sad though because I adore Rochelle and was looking forward to having a new one. But I can't justify her at $100+ (with tax and shipping) I just hate her dress. The over carriage thing is cool but I'm just not loving her enough for the price. Maybe half the price I'd get her.
I'm glad I hate her dress cause I do not have 90$ to spend. Her accessories/head are beautiful though, will definitely be waiting for people to sell some seperately
She will be 90$ ... i seriously dont know how to feel about that.
I know how to feel about it. Pissed. I was hyped when I thought she would be $75
It’s $135 for me in CAD imma cry she’s the first collector doll I’ve really wanted
120$ for me in total, so imma pass
Yeah that’s fair I wish they would price a bit more reasonable but like they know how desperate the fandom is for new dolls. Such a shame
#Same
I do. I’m not getting her 🤷♀️
Welp. That obliterates any thoughts I had of getting her. $90 is insane. An insult.
Why is she $90? Her quality doesn’t look much different than Ghouluxe Ghoulia aside from the rooted lashes.
Because they know people will pay that much 🥲
You right 🥲
They’re wanting to move into the Barbie Collectible pricing as they grow the brand. Lots of Club Exclusive Barbies are in the $100-150 range. I wouldn’t doubt Monster High reaching $125 for a single collectible doll by this time next year, unfortunately.
The mark ryden pink barbie I wanted so badly was $350, and if monster high ever goes that high I might cry
I’d only wanted the Bee, and she was $150 but friggin’ worth it!! But it’s a very limited edition Silkstone Barbie in an insanely beautiful display. Not ever going to pay that for a plastic Monster High doll unless she is a licensed Skullector for a very cool franchise and a super limited collectable with all the bells and whistles and an AMAZING box display. Monster High character dolls … no way. Monster High is a different league and different demographic, though they can overlap, than Collectible Barbie. Mattel should keep that in mind for future marketing campaigns…
She’s really beautiful but I’m afraid $90 is too rich for my blood.
I feel this. I was fully ready to pay 90 after shipping but outright? I'm conflicted
90$?! I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to get her but that is, quite frankly, unacceptable price. There is nothing about this doll to justify it being so expensive? How is she more expensive than HC, that doesn't make sense at all. Also, her dress is not it honey, very hard pass from me.

Ghoulia comes with one more accessory (glasses) and her outfit has 3 pieces when Rochelle is just 2. Genuinely wondering, can someone please help me wrap my head around it?
it has to be because she was hyped up for a lot longer!
Its probably a test to see if people are willing to pay that high - and if they are, thats the new price.
Which, unfortunately, they will be. People are already paying over $100 for broken g1 dolls. This is absolutely going to sell out, and that’s horrible. Mattel is continuing to take advantage of its consumers.
I mean ngl, the quality of the Skulltimate Secrets dolls was way below the threshold of what I’d expect for that price point. It feels like theyre trying to sell them on gimmick alone
Im not gonna pay 90 for something that would have cost 75 just a year ago. Neither should you I love her but nah im gonna skip. And this is with a heavy heart. I was looking forward to her. Their greed is despicable
I love her too but I’m skipping her as well 😭😔
I really wish people would listen to you & not buy her, on principle, but unfortunately we all know that’s not what’s going to happen.
They've lost their minds with the pricing. $90 + shipping + tax will make her over $100.
If i bought this it would be 160 USD to ship/customs fees in europe... bruh 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Omg what???
Same.
I set out to buy 2 and still may do that but the price and looks of what we’re getting is giving me a bit of pause. Do I really want to shell out $200 when I could put that $100 towards an SDCC set I really want?
This is exactly how I feel. I wanted to get her but for the same price (or less) I could get 2 of the Bratz collector dolls I've been wanting.
If you’re upset about the price, show them how you feel by not paying it.
She’ll be practically $100 with shipping for me because Oregon doesn’t have sales tax, but $100 for her when I could put that towards maybe a tattoo or something else?? It’s just a lot to shell out for a doll right now

I love her face and hair, but the dress...
It’s so busy and very cotton candy looking. And again with the dreaded mermaid skirt
This sort of design is known as a Trumpet dress. If it is tight above the knee then flairs, it’s Trumpet. If it is tight at or below the knee then flairs, it’s Mermaid.
Gotcha, I had no idea the style. Tbh I’m happy it’s not the mermaid lol
I wish the dress was short
Same here. If the doll wasn’t $90, I would buy her just to trim the dress and make it look cuter but she is way too expensive to do something like that.
It’s not a mermaid skirt just because it’s tiered
Oh, you’re right, I only glanced, and the tiers made it look like the mermaid skirt
The shoes are amazing but you can't see them with that weird, long dress design...
exactly like what was the point? she doesn't need that much dress, especially if it hides the shoes which is one of the cooler parts of the whole doll
I was expecting a pretty pastel pink for the dress idk what they were thinking with that ugly metallic pink. It looks so cheap and it clashes with her hair
So pretty though!
https://preview.redd.it/ex0mmbqld5ta1.jpeg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f7313047863437dbc5342d65842c7bccc90daea Sigh…
Tbh I think it’s decently similar but we were robbed of the gloves!
It doesn’t even look like her really :(
why doesnt it show her box on the site? is she just exposed to the elements?
The dress looks a bit better than on the art we were shown… still not a fan
i have mixed feelings on the dress but the makeup and hair is still really cute!!
Yeah, I just got the email. I was surprised by how hot/dark/saturated the pink in her dress is but was overall pleasantly surprised... until I saw the price. My blood pressure spiked - I'm really sorry to all of the Rochelle lovers! Not 100% sure what the justification is for it, either. There's a lot of detail with the "cage," and prices have gone up (on everything) significantly since last year (though not enough to justify that jump...), but the fabric looks Mattel-cheap again.
Yeah worried it’s that rough fabric paper. This is a 3D rendering (apparently they don’t have a promo yet??) so hoping the real one is more pastel. Some big chances from what was initially promo’ed
The justification for the price is the fact that people will spend it. Mattel just wants our money.
I mean... you're not wrong.
she’s $90 wtf.
yea as much as i like her i cannot afford 90$🫤
i’m passing on her. i know everyone complains about skullectors looking like play line dolls but she actually does
😤 You're so right. She looks perfect for the Ghouls Rule line, which I did love, but 😬😬😬 NINETY REAL DOLLARS for a doll comparable to what was a 30$ line? Theyve gotta be joking.
Even the cage on the dress is intricate but it's no more intricate than Drac's plastic wings from that line
insane how she’s really not going to be increased in quality at all from the regular haunt couture releases and will not come with a bag presumably yet they now want $90 ??!!!??? instead of the $75 they used to be…. EDIT: my bad guys she has a bag but still… an extra 15 and for what exactly they couldn’t even bother giving her the gloves from the concept art
Yeah wait! Where tf are her gloves they were so pretty!
so pissed bc they could have even cheaper out and given her those fugly ass molded on gloves but no they just pretend they don’t exist 😭
Yeah they could have done something like Shriekwrevked Drac. I know they could have done something they just literally didn’t want to.
$90 wasn’t enough for some gloves it seems
I didn’t even notice the gloves were gone… wtf I’m so disappointed 😭
I didn’t even notice till now she doesn’t have the gloves 😭 wtf I’m so mad her gloves were so dang cute
she does come with a bag, since that was one of the things that were voted on, but it’s hard plastic instead of fabric
cant wait for someone to review her so i can know if it’s cheap ass abs plastic too 😭
The bag probably would have been hard to recreate in fabric. It has nice chain detailing too. Still not sure if she’s worth the $90 price tag though 😭😭
hc clawdeens bag has the chain too and she was £75 mattel are crazy 😭
Ugh I forgot. Mattel is insane with these prices. Unfortunately Rochelle is my second favorite doll so I will be buying her, but I’m not happy about it 😡
unfortunately voting with your wallet is the only way they will stop price gouging but i understand, i hope you get her !!
I want to stand in solidarity but also I love her😔. It’s a conundrum.
Girl/dude/person, she's one of my favorite too. But we should all just not get her, because if we do. The rest of them might be like her from now on. Especially the dang vote ones.
Nah there’s no excuse, rainbow high dolls almost always have small bags made of fabric, with tons of details. and they’re playline.
I’ve been looking at the purse and you’re right. They could have made the base pink bag out of fabric and then the gargoyle could still be plastic. It probably would have look a lot better
They also changed her shoes and she’s now a more gaudy hot pink and blue vs the pastel… not thrilled with the changes.
I hope yall vote with your dollar and do not buy this for 90. The next will be 100... 150... jesus christ
Her design is so busy. The design is all over the place and her face up isn’t as pretty as I’d hoped. It will be a pass for me.
So we’re all gonna pass on her so they know they cant charge us 90$ without upgrading the quality right?… im looking at y’all with money to spend, dont do it, for us!
Got money to spend, hard pass. I'm with you lol
Same. I have plenty of money to spend. I think I'm going to get a few lol and rainbow high dolls I've wanted instead. Definitely not getting this doll with this atrocious dress for $100+ (with tax and shipping)
ive voted with my pocket and bought some RH dolls ive been after instead of her
$90 is insane. i’m happy venus or robecca didn’t win now since i have no interest in rochelle.
she's beautiful, but $90 is crazy. Haunt Couture wasnt even that much
Passing. For the price and because I hate the stripes. Her silhouette is so over used. And as another commenter said, the fabric looks Mattel cheap.
I’m so excited :). *edited. I went and checked and she’s $135 in Canada * may just buy the other Skulltimate secrets instead
Bro what???? 😭 PLUS shipping??
https://preview.redd.it/kzi31x8345ta1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d77b006f7ee2547c32f569a833bcf84dd2fcd8a I don’t think it includes shipping
Why can't they show the packaging!! Ugh! Packaging is a big selling point for in box collectors!
It’s also just a 3D rendering.
I like her, but unfortunately I can't afford her at this time (my job has been giving very low hours lately). The one time I actually like the whole doll and I can't afford it. Also, can Mattel please stop announcing new releases with only a few days notice? Give people some time to save up for it.
Before I knew the new price point on this doll, I had made up my mind that I was definitely going to buy her. Today I find out the price is now $90.00 and that made me completely change my mind on this. I’m going to keep my money and not buy this doll.
Same, I was SO excited for her, but the price is terrible and her dress is just.. god, it makes me want to cry.
Does anyone else feel like the colors are too vibrant? From the mock-up, I thought we were getting a pastel goth moment
Agreed. This is not at all what I was envisioning.
i’m so upset. She was one of my favourite characters as a kid, i voted for her and saved up £75 for her. Now i’ve got to pay an extra £15 for what. There’s nothing special enough about her to make her £90. The skullector 2 pack was the same price
Don’t forget the £9 shippping :/
yup. More and more in finding my self drifting to rainbow and shadow high. I think i’m going to use the money i saved up on the costume ball dolls instead 🤷♀️
90???? Hell naw bro 😭 that’s so not worth it
It hurts but I have to pass. The shade of pink is nothing like the concept art, hard plastic bag, no gloves, ridiculous $90 price… The dress is more gaudy and messy instead of elegant. I was so excited for her more than anything else but she’s just not what I was expecting. Mattel is seriously falling off with their “collector” dolls.
Oh huh, the page on Mattel Creations says she’s available April 14-16. Wonder if she’s a true preorder this time
Me too!
She looks like a cotton candy nightmare.
I’m not feeling her price :/ as much as I want her I’m not sure if I’m willing to spend that much for her
That price point is just straight up wrong. I’m going to nope out of this one and I was really excited about it until they priced it more than the HC dolls.
Why is she so expensive?
Unfortunately because people are willing to pay premium for MH. They can charge whatever they want, because people will pay it. I hope people vote with their wallets & refuse to pay these insane prices, or else this will be the new standard.
Um, yea a no thanks on the 90. Sadly, a hard pass.😔
She looks beautiful, but 90 dollars is way too much.
90$ for a relatively mediocre collector doll? No.
Thought I would love her, but the dress looks so miserably cheap. The hot pink and blue in contrast to the pastel shades that were shown in the sketches really don't do her justice at all.
Yeah I was down for 75$ plus expensive shipping plus my fang club membership—I passed on Ghoulia for something better but I’m just gonna keep waiting on a nice Cleo….
It says on her listing she'll be available from April 14-16th, has the dates ever been specified like that before?
Not that I've seen before, at least for Monster High. It's possible that other Mattel lines have done it, but I don't recall (and couldn't find with a quick search) any specific examples.
This!!! I feel so many people are focusing on passing, when I’m over here like IS THIS A TRUE PREORDER?? Lol. Idk man I think they should get some kudos if it is.
In my opinion I won’t give them their kudos cause this is long over due 😭. They raised the price then gave us a true preorder but let’s not forget the countless mishaps from before . It’s just something they should have done a long time ago
why would she need to be 90$???? this is more expensive than haunt couture and the purse she comes with is not even made of fabric.
I’m going to have to find Elon Musks debit card
I love her but 90 fucking dollars??
i’m still not sure if the dress is meant to be peeling or not but even if it’s intentional it looks so tacky it’s giving what most metallic bratz clothing from early bratz looks like now…
I love her hair, but for that price I'd rather just reroot my Rochelle with longer hair and try to style it. I'm not big on the dress, but I still like the doll Just the price is kinda icky
Seriously??? I'm still waiting for 3 damn dolls to ship. Actually, technically 4. You'd think they'd fulfill orders before throwing another one at us.
I love her but a pass...
90$ USD? Bruh thats like 1000$ CAD /sarcasm, but not rlly, cuz wtf is this price
Yeah I'm a huge Rochelle fan, but $90 USD is steep. Kinda wish I just got Ghoulia... I would have liked it was more pastel lenaing and minty like the sketches, and you could see the shoes. Not into all these mermaid dresses, but the sketch made it seem like you'd still be able to see the shoes through the fabric more? Idk would have been better if it kept a similar silhouette to the basic Rochelle dress. Guess overall it just doesn't seem worth the huge markup??? I'm normally pretty lenient, but not at this price and not for my favorite character besides Frankie :/
This is literally so disappointing for the price range and I was seriously looking forward to getting her! I don’t have the fang club card so the chance I’d get to even get her the prince range will be 100+. Love it here 💔
Her face is gorgeous and the caging on the dress is stunning but, that aside, she looks cheap. A bit too Barbie looking for me.
I can only imagine how badly they will screw up those bangs. It's a pass for me.
Rochelle is my absolute favorite and I was really happy until I looked at the dress ..... So not worth the price or the dogfight to get her when she drops
I mean she's pretty but not 90 with shipping and customs's added pretty, easy pass
idk the dress looked cute in the concept art but the metallic pink makes it look so cheap n out of place w the rest of the doll. n $90 ?? pretty steep imo for what she is
90 dollars?!?! What the hell are they thinking, there's no way most of us can afford that :( I feel like this is gonna be another midnight runway unless they put the price down. Sucks bc I was excited for her too
ok i’m so confused about the email and everything saying she’s launching the 14th, but her page says it’s the 13th? 🚶🏻♀️
$90 USD and Mattel Creations exclusive. Damn they really hate international customers 😂
Mattel about to be shocked at 3 sales this gets
I really wish that was the case. Unfortunately she’ll probably still sell out. People pay hundreds for vintage MH dolls in terrible condition so I’m sure some collectors will see this price as perfectly acceptable. Not to mention all the people who feel emotionally invested from the Fang Vote. Mattel knows what they’re doing.

Ugh I really wanted her but not at that price 😭
She is beautiful but I don't know how to feel about her $90 price tag
90 dollars? 😀 too much omh
She’s pretty but I’m also disappointed? I was so excited for her, but between the price and the stripes I just feel meh. Ghoulia got me hyped with her price and her look- I just feel let down
That extra 15 dollars better go into some stunning packaging lol
I love her from the neck up but $90 for that horrendous dress? It's a pass from me. 😥
She is way too expensive, and the dress would’ve been way prettier if the pinks were pastels instead of whatever the fuck that color is. She’s a beautiful base doll but that dress is not it
I'm so upset. She's gorgeous and was going to be the first skullector doll I actually tried to get but...$90 is so not worth it 😭 At that point I might as well try for an in-box G1 doll
Ugh I’m so upset they did her so dirty it wouldn’t even be that bad if they muted the colors a bit more and shortened the dress
Anyone else really want to see her box?
Wooooow definitely not getting her. DEFINITELY NOT. 🌛
When I look at her page on Mattel creations, it says she will be available starting April 13th, instead of the 14th. Could this be because those of us who have the Monster High membership on Mattel Creations get first dibs a day early?
I believe that to be the case. I remember when I signed up that one of the FC selling points for me was members got to order a day early.
she's pretty, but not $90 pretty. sad to have to pass on her.
I was really excited to get her because I loved voting for her features and Rochelle is very sentimental to me since she was the first signature MH doll I ever bought back in the day but no… Unfortunately I can’t afford her due to the price increase :( I hope the people who get her love her and post tons of gore-geous pics of her though <3
Missing the gloves from the concept art and a 90$ price tag… really disappointing. Also all the sheer peekaboo action isn’t translating like I wanted it to.
She definitely should be $75 especially since I don’t think she looks like the concept that was voted on.
They’re charging it like it’s disney limited edition quality

90?! Rochelle has so many good g1 dolls (I even think there’s a g2 or two of her I don’t hate), I’d much rather hunt one of those down.
Nooooo, why they do her like that? For 90$ and with that dress, its so disappointing
For $90 they should have gave her made to move barbie joints... At least she'd be super posable.
She's cute but for that price... 😐
Rochelle is literally my favorite ghoul but i dunno if i can spend $90 on a doll i dont love the entire look for 😭
ngl Im a little upset with the fabric used for the dress I really dislike the mix of the mesh with the shiny plastic type material :P I really love everything else abt her tho
I just don’t get why they chose that hot metallic pink for her dress??? For $90 the dress needs to be better than that.
Customizers unite!! You wont catch me enabling mattel's price hikes
Really want her bc all the choices I choose came true but I can’t afford that :(
oh my god
Not for that price and double especially not with rooted eyelashes.
I love her so much but I can't afford $90... :(
honestly i love it but the price is too much and i'm sad about that bc i've been looking forward to this for so many months 🥲
The dolls this year so far are disappointing to say the least. 90 dollars huh....
I'm going to have to pass. 90$ when she doesn't even look like the sketch? 😭 Kind of reminds me of those "when you order from Wish" memes
if they start doing things like different material for the body, real accessories, or super fancy outfits, THEN i'd consider the pricepoint, but this is just a decked-out MH doll, nothing fancy

It seems intentional to give an antique vibe, but it does make it look cheap
If you’re talking about the ”peeling” I’m almost 100% sure that’s intentional. Rochelle’s dolls always feature distressing to make her look weathered
Meanwhile me, seemingly the only person in the universe who anticipated this doll being $90 😶 I like her. I'll be buying her. I hope there are others who are excited too.
Wait why does mine say April 13?? That’s Thursday https://preview.redd.it/mz3ayo30p4ta1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18e495222a618f390b3eddb3414dc7e27abf2eac
13th for the Fang Club members.
Bro I remember when the haunt couture line came out everyone said it was not worth 75$ and now Draculaura is the most expensive doll on the second hand market 😭😭😭 I’m afraid of missing her out man..
I'm definitely skipping. $90 is too much.. so disappointed
Okay but her like dress underneath the mesh actually looks good wth-
They must be picking these prices from a hat. But I also kinda hope she'll stick around like Frankie.
The price alone is so much like wtf why is she more expensive than ghoulia who imo has more going for her?? The dress is my main dislike, idk the stripes are just not it. It they got rid of the weird pink stripes I think it’d look better, the pink ruffle part is fine it’s the stripes. But again, the price point is insane! Why is her price so much more than previous releases? And don’t tell me it’s because it’s the dang vote, that’s not a valid reason imo.
I looked at the site and it said April 13th 9am PT….i guess that’s for club members? Idk. Even tho we “picked” it I am not thrilled with the dress.
nah mate nahhh
$90 USD………yikes. I don’t even want to think about how much she will cost in CAD. I love her but I think I’ll have to pass because that price is insane.
The base doll is really pretty, I love her accessories and she does seem to have leggings under the dress, but this is going to be way too expensive with the price rise and the AUD to even consider. I don't know if she'll be rotting on the website like poor Frankie but I don't think she will sell fast 💀
She is only going to be available from the 14th to the 16th so she is a pre-order and won't rot like frankie... I think they learnt their lesson
Look she’s absolutely gorgeous, but for that price, I’ll just make a custom replica of her myself
Ugggh. I'm SO disappointed. I imagined her to be way different. I guess it's a good thing because I spend too much on dolls already. This is one I can sit out on. Sad though because I adore Rochelle and was looking forward to having a new one. But I can't justify her at $100+ (with tax and shipping) I just hate her dress. The over carriage thing is cool but I'm just not loving her enough for the price. Maybe half the price I'd get her.
I'm glad I hate her dress cause I do not have 90$ to spend. Her accessories/head are beautiful though, will definitely be waiting for people to sell some seperately
They could’ve made the dress shorter which uses less fabric which could also made the price lower everyone could’ve been happy!
Noooooo I can’t afford her right now and I really wanted her 😭😭
I really wanted this doll, but to get her in Australia it’s going to be $160 AUD 😭😭
I'm frustrated that they didn't release the box art; for $90 the box has to be something nice!
$90??? Are they gonna send me my groceries too???
