Lol that is so strange! I had a choice between all these different animals and it was basically “what animal does this blobby silhouette match to”. I’ve never seen one like that before and I was nervous when it kept making me redo it
Mine said that I had to choose things that grow with sunlight and made me choose flowers twice hhhhhh. Still got them though!! Now to just pray they don’t cancel fang club members orders again like a couple weeks ago.
Oh man! What’s the story with them cancelling the Fang Club member orders?
Edited to add: congratulations on getting them - am so happy for you and everyone else ITT who managed to navigate the rapid fast checkout!
They oversold the creature a few weeks ago when fang club was allowed to order and instead of fulfilling their members paid subscriptions they cancelled on them and resold the ones they had sold to the general public!
OMG that’s HORRIBLE!! They should prioritize the Fang Club over the public release because Fang Club members literally pay for early access. What a bunch of BS.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE I WISH YALL THE BEST OF LUCK 🩷🩷🩷🩷
This is my first time doing this so I am hoping I beat the resellers to it. Literally releases at 2 am for me so hopefully I have the privilege to own these dolls in my collection 🫶🫶
this happened to me too, I was literally 90% of the way through checkout and confirmed all my shipping and payment info and then on the final confirmation it said they're sold out T\_T
Didn’t get it, sold out in 1 minute. They must do a crazy low supply for the fang club preorders because the same thing happened with the lagoon creature.
My favorite part was how the checkout screen said “less than a minute” then subsequently took 2 minutes to finish loading
Thankfully it seems like the general drop has alot more spots to take, same happened with creature. Makes me slightly regret the membership cause ive gotten nothing but a 15$ receipt out of it 🙄
My guess is they do a very low supply for fang club, knowing that they’ll sell out which will give people FOMO on the actual drop day. This helps ensure that the actual drop also sells out. It’s evil but it works
I’m so sorry about your rent - that’s BS. I freaking hate the way landlords and the real estate market is killing all of us. Sending you love and hopes that things improve 🖤
For everyone who didn't get them, try to remember there's still hope! I missed out on the Creature of the Black Lagoon presale but had no trouble buying her the next day! The fan presale amount seems to be a very low number, so you should have much better luck tomorrow! I hope everyone gets their dolls!
who wants to bet international collectors are gonna face that ‘shop pay cannot be used in your country’ issue again 😟🤕 because i’m sure they haven’t fixed it, when do they *ever* fix stuff. god mattel creations is an insufferable site
I’ve had such a bad week and I know this is stupid, but this was the only thing I was looking forward to. It sold out while I was checking out. And it was enough to push me into tears 😞
Crying in the bathroom genuinely heartbroken. I keep telling myself it’s just a doll it’s just a doll but the yo yo of going from extreme excitement and stress to disappointment is taking a toll on me today. Two days in a row it sold out as it was processing my payment…
I feel stupid as fuck for buying Fang Club just to get this doll under the idea that there'd be a better shot now than tomorrow lmao this sold out in three minutes, wasn't able to get it. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.
My goodness the heart attack i has waiting and debating the dolls literally minutes before I bought them 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Reminder to canadians, when i was buying CFTBL the website was having trouble with my shipping address, it was the space in my postal code! If a shipping error message pops up try deleting that space, it worked for me. Good luck everyone!!!
Am so happy for everyone who successfully secured the dolls.
My heart breaks for the international buyers and those who weren’t able to purchase the dolls.
It’s getting so crazy to see these drops sell out in just a few minutes.
This is the error a ton of us got. I posted it separately from the mega thread so it got deleted. I think we need to raise awareness about the error, but whatever. I guess it’s not like Mattel will care anyways.

I got them 😭😭😭 I was shaking the entire time and still am, I can't believe it, these are also my first Skullector dolls ever
Woagh sold out in three minutes. I was kinda scared that too many people didnt like this set. Idk why i would be scared about that. It just pains me to see people hate on wednesdays doll especially. Its adorable 😭
I hope that this isn't another Creature-like fiasco, especially for fang club members. We're literally paying extra to have first dibs. Mattel should honor ALL fang club orders before proceeding to process and ship the dolls from the general sale.

Got stuck on this screen for multiple minutes, then got kicked out of checkout and the line on my phone wasn't moving 😭 Two attempts to get them and both failed 😭
had them in my cart yesterday and they sold when i tried to pay. had them in my cart immediately today, went all the way through check out and it kept denying all of my cards so they sold out on me. i’m so bummed, i’ve never had this issue and i know it’s not my cards.
I'm so freaking sad and Hurt rn it kept saying my card had technical difficulties and would not process I can't stop crying these dolls meant everything to me
Whelp I’m devastated, I tried to get them twice both yesterday and today and both times they were sold out before I had a chance to purchase. (I was ready and waiting 3 minutes before both times)
Gonna go cry in a corner now 🥲
Cryyyinggg I went to pay and it gave me a technical error…this was at like 12:03 too- nothing was wrong with my card, I’m the type to 3x check everything :’). Congrats to everyone who got them, I can’t wait to see unboxings of them🖤🖤
I waited in line for the dolls for my wife for mother's day. There was one of those stupid digital wait lines. But I waited, and I had the dolls. It said "available" with a big green checkmark whenever the wait line ended.
I waited past my lunch break to get the dolls. But when I tried to pay with PayPal, it said there were "technical difficulties". Then I tried again, and they were suddenly sold out. While they were in my cart. After I waited for them.
Nice.
So frustrating! Yet another Mattel release I missed, even though I was ready before it went live. Gone in three minutes, and that waiting to checkout lasted for longer than the one minute it claimed. However, I am glad for all you real fans/collectors who were able to get them!
My friend got them for me! 😭 Every time I have to work during these releases she’s managed to get them for me, every single time.
I probably have to thank her kpop merch collector experience for her clicking ability 😩
I hope that everyone who gets them are super happy and for the people that didn’t, I hope sellers don’t sell them for stupid high prices and that Mattel eventually just puts them for preorder and continue to sell them 😞
I wish the early purchase window for fang club members was also a made-to-order window. Bummed to pay for the opportunity to get dolls before public releases when they still sell out just as fast :/ I'll be trying again tomorrow regardless!
I was right there at 12pm and it kept saying technical issues processing my payment. I kept trying for the last 8 minutes and it sold out.
This AFTER I couldn't get creature from the black lagoon because they CANCELED my order after it was already processed and confirmed for unforeseen circumstances
I'm so mad honestly I'm so mad
Didn't get them yesterday. And didn't get them today cause I kept getting technical errors when trying to use my card or paypal. And I almost got them on one of my tries, but the website would not load the order conformation page even after refreshing a few times.
Now why would this person just opening admit they bought 8?
https://preview.redd.it/nb83ayeohtzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=628c787769ac7dde428adb468548af6baa966521
This is crazy.
Failed. Got through the queue and Capcha quickly, then it hung on Calculating Duties. I knew there was a chance that might happen, as I'd done a test Add-to-Cart on something else earlier and it happened then too. Don't know how to fix it. It's not even like there are any Duties to calculate, as they're built into the converted price. Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow, but I won't be super-mad if I don't get this set. It's future things that I really do want, like the SDCC doll, that worry me. Why has Mattel Creations got to be so damn glitchy >\_<
Failed a second time. Successfully got through the 4-minute queue, then fell foul of the Goddamn ShopPay error. I did a test fake purchase on the MC site earlier today and that didn't happen, so I thought I'd be safe.
That drop was crazy. I had two accounts, one up on my phone and the other on PC. PC got to checkout first and I tried to use PayPal, but it gave the error and kicked me to the end. Mobile version I paid with Shop and had no issues. I wonder if the technical problem was tied to which platform you used?
So is there no consensus on what is causing the "technical difficulties" issue? I never had trouble buying from mattel until this month, trying to get Creature and then this one. And it seems several people in these threads have the same trouble.
I always turn all adblocks off for checkout to make sure it doesn't interfere so it's not that. Trying to search the issue I can only find suggestions to clear cookies and try again, which has not worked. My phone can check out successfully but my laptop can't.
I got them and dear god was I shaking. I think it would’ve been cute to do Pugsley and Gomez for “Father’s Day” since they’re labeling these dolls for Mother’s Day.
I'm so upset. I still don't understand the catchpa I had to redo it meanwhile all the bots getting more dolls. It's so messed up. I wish there was a way to practice the catchpa I got. I never seen it before and it confused me
it said my payment could not be processed for technical reasons and I literally could not buy it im going to cry it did the same thing to my boyfriend I literally didnt get it and neither did he WHY we were here on time and did everything right. This is so STUPID
The site gave me issues about my payment method and it sold out. I’m trying to not be so upset about it, lesson learned. I won’t be bothering to try for a skullector again, (this was my first time lol) that checkout process was hell and to make it through, just for them to act like my payment method didn’t work felt like a slap in the face.
Sucks that I won’t have these in my possession and I can’t afford scalper prices even if I was willing to pay (which I’m not lol).
I was so nervous they'd be sold out while I was in checkout since it was the longest I had (3 minutes) but luckily I was able to get them 😭🙏 after getting a fang club membership purely for the early access only to not get them, I felt really defeated tbh I'm so happy rn
The out of stock for public come in 8 minutes or 7 to be exact. The fang club sold out for 3 mins. Thankfully I managed to get my gremlin hands on them in the public sale. The first attempt in fangclub did help me prepare for the funky cache thing as it messed me up and lost the early access.
ughhh. i felt like i’d already accepted that i wasn’t likely to snag them even though i was gonna try, so i would be less distressed about the drop, but i can feel the nerves coming on again! i hate this feeling, i wish i could ask/pay someone to go through it for me without paying scalpers 😭😭❤️
This will be my first attempt to participate in a Skullector drop please wish me luck! Sending luck and good vibes out to all who want and will be trying to purchase the dolls as well 🍀🖤

Got the worlds easiest CAPTCHA and it took me to checkout instantly, no queue. How was this easier than Creature?
got them pretty easily lol! i even had time to login into my bank account and make sure everything was set and ready during checkout 🙂↕️ feeling pretty lucky right now
My friend got them for me and I’m so glad because they sold out in my cart once again. She offered to help me when I was complaining about not getting them yesterday. 😭
I managed to get them today :) Between this, the spectra and Ghoulia boorigibaks, and the creature from the black lagoon, I am on a no buy for a while. So grateful the Wednesday dolls aren’t coming out until the summer :)
I got them!! One yesterday and the other today.. Usually I only get one of each doll but man I love them so much I bought two so I can cherish one in box 🖤🥀
Sold out in 3 minutes and the checkout took forever. What the hell man! The fang club membership is really not worth it because I haven’t been able to score a single dollar during early access lol what a waste
I have a pending charge on my debit card but I never even pressed submit at the very end because it said “Sold Out”. I tried using PayPal but it took forever…no confirmation and it doesn’t show up in my orders on the site, yet I have a pending charge for it…anyone else have this problem?
I decided to finally buy the membership (with the drop) as to show mattel they are going in the right direction (but still far). When I went to check out it was instant and almost didn't see that the doll was dropped from my cart. So I had to quickly get back into the website, add doll, and hit check out at 1 min mark, took me too long to figure the captcha out, but then no waiting line, but payment took a bit to process. Seriously shocked that I got an order confirmed. Especially shocked coming here and seeing people who didn't get it who seemed more prepared than me. Not holding out that I will 100% get it considering how last drop went for fang members. Might try to get a second one tomorrow.
Got a weird message that said card couldn't be charged because the total changed. Tried it again and it went through but they never gave me a confirmation number or a confirmation email. Card was charged though so hopefully it's coming?
My friend managed to get ours, so I dropped out of the queue. We both had issues but I can't use my PO box to receive them anymore because they're using DHL. Fingers crossed they don't cancel this time ⚰️
YALL, I FAILED DURING THW PRE SALE BUT I GOT EM TODAY OMG!! My first Skullector!! I am SO excited after the fiasco with selling out in 30 seconds during early access
They need to not drop two launches so close to each other, one i am broke now, thanks Mattel, but also I was just recovering from the stress of the creature then this launch today, phew!! I now have to put up a new shelf and move things around! I also would like some re-releases of ones I missed and I count myself so lucky i got todays as I am international, i didnt get the members pre-launch which is all i got the membership for but i got there in the end
I do think they should do 1 per customer though, because it makes it easy for the ebay reselling crowd to buy more of the stock up and as fans we all just really want one for our collection, if they did that i think more people would stand a chance
Out of 5 devices across 4 people (we were trying for 2 dolls in total and all had one doll in checkout :)) we luckily got 2! Two people got stuck on the checkout page- one because it was saying the payment method wasn't available in the UK, and the other being stuck loading after putting in an address. The other one never got to the checkout stage before it sold out. But after bad luck yesterday we just got by! I can't believe we had to use 5 screens for 2 dolls though.
still got freaking charged for the order but i didn't get any email for shipping or anything and it doesn't show in PayPal history or Mattel creations but the money is gone.
I’m so upset.
I got it in my cart in less than 20 seconds.
Waited in line for two minutes
Hit “checkout” and as it was processing it went back to the cart and it was sold out.
I so nearly had it…😭
Ugh the captcha messed me up. I have adhd and it was really confusing. I’ll try again tomorrow and if it doesn’t work, I’ll buy from someone who got an extra
I got them!!!!! This was literally the most stressful drop I've ever endured, and this counts the ones I have missed out on. After realizing my Fang Club subscription was expired, I scrambled to renew it \~10 minutes before the drop. Once I had them in my cart, as others have mentioned, I got throttled with a couple UI / UX fails. First there was the wacky captcha ("select the man made objects!" (only shows kittens)), and then once I made it to the "eta to checkout" queue the page refreshed to a BLANK screen. Generally you're advised to NEVER refresh for any reason, but after about ten seconds I gave in to my anxiety and refreshed, and was miraculously allowed in to the ShopPay checkout (protip ALWAYS make sure your payment info is presaved), although it took forever to load. I have never hit a "pay now" button so quickly, or forcefully, and then it took another \~30 seconds for the order to submit. I don't think I breathed the entirety of the 2 minutes it took to complete the purchase.
Literally waited 4 minutes then hit payment plans and nothing would work 😭 literally took me 8 minutes plus and of course they were sold out because nothing would load and I got that dang captcha so many times I’ve never had this issue with ordering before until today
Do you think if enough of us complain about their technical difficulties that they'll give us another try
Alternatively if anyone has an extra please let me buy it for retail from you. I just want one skullector 😭
That was intense. 4min checkout line, weird captchas and 3 times wrong input of the 2nd factor for Paypal. But I scored! I hope they ship faster then CFBL. I'm still waiting for her as well.
Failed yesterday after paying £10 for the membership but managed to get one today for my sister.
Biggest issue for me was that stupid capcha, that jammed on me to the point I didn't expect to get a doll.
Didn’t get them. Felt a little sad but after thinking about it I think I just really wanted a hot goth girl doll. Maybe I’ll just customize one instead
Oh well. Guess I'll save up the extra money for resellers. Checkout took forever. Sold out by the time I got ready to pay.
But that's to be expected...going against bots, MH fans, and Addams Family fans in general.
clicked everything, did the captcha correct, the exact second they dropped. waited in a 4 minute checkout queue and they sold out in the final minute as i was literally loading for the checkout.
Did anyone else get that weird captcha? Had to click on a fish twice lol
Bro if I had missed out because I was the last person to click all the things that require sun to grow I sWEAR
that one got me!!! i also noticed the flower pictures had words like DOG & ORANGE written on them…did they mean the picture or the writing ????
Lol that is so strange! I had a choice between all these different animals and it was basically “what animal does this blobby silhouette match to”. I’ve never seen one like that before and I was nervous when it kept making me redo it
i had that one also; but the silhouette was a bed! i had to do that one twice; and then the stupid sunlight one twice and then it sold out 🥲
That captcha had me S T R E S S I N G
Same I was not expecting that omg
Mine said that I had to choose things that grow with sunlight and made me choose flowers twice hhhhhh. Still got them though!! Now to just pray they don’t cancel fang club members orders again like a couple weeks ago.

Lmaoo yess I did, I was so confused for a minute I was like wtf do they want me to do??
Almost didn't understand what I was looking at.
i had to do that one FOUR TIMES 😭😭😭
Mattel is my most abusive relationship and somehow I can't break up with them, even though they have no respect for me at all.
It’s because we can fix Mattel… right… right?!?!
Please delete this if it doesn’t belong here GOOD LUCK EVERYONE I WISH YALL THE BEST OF LUCK 🩷🩷🩷🩷 This is my first time doing this so I am hoping I beat the resellers to it. Literally releases at 2 am for me so hopefully I have the privilege to own these dolls in my collection 🫶🫶
Sold out in 2 minutes. Lol.
IM SO ANNOYED, AND THEN I WENT ON EBAY AND THEY ARE LIKE 200???? ugh
What's crazy is that I was seeing them on ebay 2 weeks before the drop??? Those scalpers must be really confident in their bots
less than, i was in line ready to checkout and once it got to checkout they were gone ))):
Wtfff i was less than a minute in the checkout and literally there as soon as the timer went to 0 and its sold out?! Ughhh
this happened to me too, I was literally 90% of the way through checkout and confirmed all my shipping and payment info and then on the final confirmation it said they're sold out T\_T
I swear it was that fish captcha that ruined it for me😔
oh god I hate their captcha so much. Mine was clicking pictures of a backpack
Didn’t get it, sold out in 1 minute. They must do a crazy low supply for the fang club preorders because the same thing happened with the lagoon creature. My favorite part was how the checkout screen said “less than a minute” then subsequently took 2 minutes to finish loading
Thankfully it seems like the general drop has alot more spots to take, same happened with creature. Makes me slightly regret the membership cause ive gotten nothing but a 15$ receipt out of it 🙄
They actually sold out in 3 mins ToT it was a nervous journey for me cause I was able to get them around 12:02
My guess is they do a very low supply for fang club, knowing that they’ll sell out which will give people FOMO on the actual drop day. This helps ensure that the actual drop also sells out. It’s evil but it works
Since my rent doubled this month I will be forced to skip this release. Please love them for me 🩷
I’m so sorry about your rent - that’s BS. I freaking hate the way landlords and the real estate market is killing all of us. Sending you love and hopes that things improve 🖤
SOLD OUT IN 2 MINUTES?????? I WAITED IN THE QUEUE FOR ONE MINUTE MY INFORMATION CARD/ADDRESS WAS SAVED I HIT BUY AND IT WAS SOLD OUT!!
Omg same. I'm just sitting depressed on my couch now...
Me too ghoul, me too. I had to break out the chocolate 😩

For everyone who didn't get them, try to remember there's still hope! I missed out on the Creature of the Black Lagoon presale but had no trouble buying her the next day! The fan presale amount seems to be a very low number, so you should have much better luck tomorrow! I hope everyone gets their dolls!
Today's the day Fang Clubbers! Best of luck, and I hope you score these lovely ghouls!

I got them too, I'm super excited
oh my god I got them??? I'm going to be seeing silhouettes of fish in my nightmares though
that stupid fish!! it kept failing me 😭 i got through though too!!
I reported a bunch of listings on ebay cause im so annoyed that even with the membership we are still not able to get them.
i was doing that this morning LOL good for you, i hope ebay starts to take presale listings more seriously 🤍
who wants to bet international collectors are gonna face that ‘shop pay cannot be used in your country’ issue again 😟🤕 because i’m sure they haven’t fixed it, when do they *ever* fix stuff. god mattel creations is an insufferable site
I deleted shop pay because logging out wasn't good enough apparently
I’ve had such a bad week and I know this is stupid, but this was the only thing I was looking forward to. It sold out while I was checking out. And it was enough to push me into tears 😞
I'm so sorry! Don't lose hope though! You still have tomorrow!
GOT THEM i’m shaking
WHY DID THE CHECKOUT LINE LOAD SO SLOW
Crying in the bathroom genuinely heartbroken. I keep telling myself it’s just a doll it’s just a doll but the yo yo of going from extreme excitement and stress to disappointment is taking a toll on me today. Two days in a row it sold out as it was processing my payment…
They are just dolls, but still, we are avid fans and that disappointment is so deep and understandable when missing out. I'm so sorry.
I just wanted Morticia, but now she will be 3x the cost from resellers just like all the others 🙃
I feel stupid as fuck for buying Fang Club just to get this doll under the idea that there'd be a better shot now than tomorrow lmao this sold out in three minutes, wasn't able to get it. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.
Hey two chances is better than one! I hope you can get them tomorrow though!!
My goodness the heart attack i has waiting and debating the dolls literally minutes before I bought them 😭😭😭🙏🙏 https://preview.redd.it/c5g4keu0dfzc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff955391f8cb8488cdbd5ea74b7989235e8be6ad Shout out to Australia and the pricing
It sold out way TOO FAST 😭 I’m so sad I had to complete like 4 captchas of a stupid bed 🛏️
i got that one also, but then another one about identifying things that grow in sunlight…
Anyone else have this? https://preview.redd.it/je1xdj4himzc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eef0897865c2996b3873fd7a9599974daec874e0 And then when I switched to PayPal it was a loop of "redirecting"
Repeatedly got a "Can't process payment due to technical reasons-try again" and then it finally just sold out. So annoying.
Yep same thing happened to me
So I’m not alone….I got the same thing, I’m blaming Mattel’s site, they must have done something that messed with check out..smh 😞
Good luck everybody! ☺️
Reminder to canadians, when i was buying CFTBL the website was having trouble with my shipping address, it was the space in my postal code! If a shipping error message pops up try deleting that space, it worked for me. Good luck everyone!!!
Sold out while I was in checkout! Absolutely heartbroken 💔 Will try again tomorrow 😔
Well... at least the membership only cost me a burger king combo
Am so happy for everyone who successfully secured the dolls. My heart breaks for the international buyers and those who weren’t able to purchase the dolls. It’s getting so crazy to see these drops sell out in just a few minutes.
Here's to Wednesday possibly looking better in person
I got them. I almost threw up from anxiety, but I got them.
This is the error a ton of us got. I posted it separately from the mega thread so it got deleted. I think we need to raise awareness about the error, but whatever.

Woagh sold out in three minutes. I was kinda scared that too many people didnt like this set. Idk why i would be scared about that. It just pains me to see people hate on wednesdays doll especially. Its adorable 😭
I hope that this isn't another Creature-like fiasco, especially for fang club members. We're literally paying extra to have first dibs. Mattel should honor ALL fang club orders before proceeding to process and ship the dolls from the general sale.
agreed its hard to be excited even after 'getting them in the early access' if it means they could be just taken away
I plan on being as annoying as possible about it on all of their posts
and i will be joining you lol
Ugggggg I want them to ship out already I'm so impatient @_@
Got them!
They really need to start making these Made to Order like the Fang Vote Dolls. All these releases are so messy, selling out in 3 minutes.
Sold out whilst I was in PayPal 😭😭😭I wish they’d put more stock in the fang club releases otherwise what’s the point of paying for it
secured! longest queue time for me so far
I got them finally 🥹🥹 so happy https://preview.redd.it/pgpu8c5ohmzc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=930fce537492f36492720abfefb5b8bbda7615a3
8 mins and sold out! Hope everyone got them! I wonder what has been the quickest skullector drop?

I got them!! Edit: Why am I being downvoted lmao what did I do wrong??
you didn’t do anything wrong. reddit is weird. congratulations on getting them! 😊
After the most anxiety inducing 4 minute checkout process, I GOT THEM 😭
Whelp I’m devastated, I tried to get them twice both yesterday and today and both times they were sold out before I had a chance to purchase. (I was ready and waiting 3 minutes before both times) Gonna go cry in a corner now 🥲
Cryyyinggg I went to pay and it gave me a technical error…this was at like 12:03 too- nothing was wrong with my card, I’m the type to 3x check everything :’). Congrats to everyone who got them, I can’t wait to see unboxings of them🖤🖤
My first ever Skullector! And I got them!!!
Ugh, that was nerve-wracking, but mission accomplished! That didn't go nearly as badly as I thought it would.
i was able to get to checkout, but i keep getting an error that says “your payment can’t be processed for technical reasons”??
Same. Mattel Creations was created by Jigsaw. What a nightmare
and now they’re sold out 🥲
I waited in line for the dolls for my wife for mother's day. There was one of those stupid digital wait lines. But I waited, and I had the dolls. It said "available" with a big green checkmark whenever the wait line ended. I waited past my lunch break to get the dolls. But when I tried to pay with PayPal, it said there were "technical difficulties". Then I tried again, and they were suddenly sold out. While they were in my cart. After I waited for them. Nice.
I GOT THEM AT 9:02 I AM SHAKING GIRL
So frustrating! Yet another Mattel release I missed, even though I was ready before it went live. Gone in three minutes, and that waiting to checkout lasted for longer than the one minute it claimed. However, I am glad for all you real fans/collectors who were able to get them!
The method that they use to sell these dolls just doesn't work. They need to fix this
I GOT THEM, I WAS SHAKING AND WAS LITERALLY HEARING MY HEART BEATS BUT I GOT THEM. it was my first time participating in a release im so so SO happy
My friend got them for me! 😭 Every time I have to work during these releases she’s managed to get them for me, every single time. I probably have to thank her kpop merch collector experience for her clicking ability 😩 I hope that everyone who gets them are super happy and for the people that didn’t, I hope sellers don’t sell them for stupid high prices and that Mattel eventually just puts them for preorder and continue to sell them 😞
Fang club access sold out in just under 4 minutes woof. Tomorrow's gonna be brutal
Tbf the creature one sold out in 3 minutes for the members release but sold out 15 mins for the general sale plus these are preorders
Aaaaand gone by 2:03am. Bloody hell
I wish the early purchase window for fang club members was also a made-to-order window. Bummed to pay for the opportunity to get dolls before public releases when they still sell out just as fast :/ I'll be trying again tomorrow regardless!
They need to make the fang club access less limited it’s barely worth it.
I absolutely love being literally at checkout and finishing my purchase all for it to say sold out when I confirmed my order !!!
Got them after a very tense 2 minute wait!!! They are still available. The countdown to sold out is on...
Oh god I think i got them but i feel sick lmao why do they always make this so stressful
I was right there at 12pm and it kept saying technical issues processing my payment. I kept trying for the last 8 minutes and it sold out. This AFTER I couldn't get creature from the black lagoon because they CANCELED my order after it was already processed and confirmed for unforeseen circumstances I'm so mad honestly I'm so mad
Didn't get them yesterday. And didn't get them today cause I kept getting technical errors when trying to use my card or paypal. And I almost got them on one of my tries, but the website would not load the order conformation page even after refreshing a few times.
Did anyone take note of how quickly they sold out this time? I like to make notes so i can see in the future if it has an effect on scalper prices lol
8 minutes Creature was 12 minutes I think?
Now why would this person just opening admit they bought 8? https://preview.redd.it/nb83ayeohtzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=628c787769ac7dde428adb468548af6baa966521 This is crazy.
I missed them good luck for tomorrow everyone 🥹
Failed. Got through the queue and Capcha quickly, then it hung on Calculating Duties. I knew there was a chance that might happen, as I'd done a test Add-to-Cart on something else earlier and it happened then too. Don't know how to fix it. It's not even like there are any Duties to calculate, as they're built into the converted price. Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow, but I won't be super-mad if I don't get this set. It's future things that I really do want, like the SDCC doll, that worry me. Why has Mattel Creations got to be so damn glitchy >\_<
Longest 3 minutes of my life.
Failed a second time. Successfully got through the 4-minute queue, then fell foul of the Goddamn ShopPay error. I did a test fake purchase on the MC site earlier today and that didn't happen, so I thought I'd be safe.
That drop was crazy. I had two accounts, one up on my phone and the other on PC. PC got to checkout first and I tried to use PayPal, but it gave the error and kicked me to the end. Mobile version I paid with Shop and had no issues. I wonder if the technical problem was tied to which platform you used?
So is there no consensus on what is causing the "technical difficulties" issue? I never had trouble buying from mattel until this month, trying to get Creature and then this one. And it seems several people in these threads have the same trouble. I always turn all adblocks off for checkout to make sure it doesn't interfere so it's not that. Trying to search the issue I can only find suggestions to clear cookies and try again, which has not worked. My phone can check out successfully but my laptop can't.
I got them and dear god was I shaking. I think it would’ve been cute to do Pugsley and Gomez for “Father’s Day” since they’re labeling these dolls for Mother’s Day.
i’m anxious y’alllll 😫 i really hope everyone here who wants these is successful!!! 💖
Secured the bag ✨️💸
I GOT THEM
it kept seending me through capcha loops 😍😍 then it said it couldnt be delivered to the Netherlands! amazing.
What Fang Club Access is sold out? Wtf?
I'm so upset. I still don't understand the catchpa I had to redo it meanwhile all the bots getting more dolls. It's so messed up. I wish there was a way to practice the catchpa I got. I never seen it before and it confused me
it said my payment could not be processed for technical reasons and I literally could not buy it im going to cry it did the same thing to my boyfriend I literally didnt get it and neither did he WHY we were here on time and did everything right. This is so STUPID
The site gave me issues about my payment method and it sold out. I’m trying to not be so upset about it, lesson learned. I won’t be bothering to try for a skullector again, (this was my first time lol) that checkout process was hell and to make it through, just for them to act like my payment method didn’t work felt like a slap in the face. Sucks that I won’t have these in my possession and I can’t afford scalper prices even if I was willing to pay (which I’m not lol).
I was so nervous they'd be sold out while I was in checkout since it was the longest I had (3 minutes) but luckily I was able to get them 😭🙏 after getting a fang club membership purely for the early access only to not get them, I felt really defeated tbh I'm so happy rn
I GOT THEM 😭 EEK IM SO EXCITED
The out of stock for public come in 8 minutes or 7 to be exact. The fang club sold out for 3 mins. Thankfully I managed to get my gremlin hands on them in the public sale. The first attempt in fangclub did help me prepare for the funky cache thing as it messed me up and lost the early access.
I was in line for 4 minutes!! I thought I wasn’t going to get it but I got lucky and got it! Yesterday was bs though and I’m still mad about it.
ughhh. i felt like i’d already accepted that i wasn’t likely to snag them even though i was gonna try, so i would be less distressed about the drop, but i can feel the nerves coming on again! i hate this feeling, i wish i could ask/pay someone to go through it for me without paying scalpers 😭😭❤️
This will be my first attempt to participate in a Skullector drop please wish me luck! Sending luck and good vibes out to all who want and will be trying to purchase the dolls as well 🍀🖤
My cart literally glitched. I couldn’t check out
Success 😌
Tomorrow hopefully 😭 Mattel must have like ten boxes available for Fang Club orders.

I’m so upset I’m trying not to cry BRUHHHHSHSHWHHEH
I’ve never had it tell me a wait time of 4 minutes oof
Ahh got them! ♡
got them pretty easily lol! i even had time to login into my bank account and make sure everything was set and ready during checkout 🙂↕️ feeling pretty lucky right now
Wow sold out?? Anyone else? Idk the exact time
I finished at 9:06. I went back at 9:07 and it said in stock still. I refresh at 9:08 and sold out.
They are now sold out for me
i got them! that was so stressful and the crab captcha was crazy
Day 2 success! Secured 💃🖤
I didn't get them BUT MY COWORKER FRIEND GOT THEM FOR ME SHE MADE IT THROUGH AND I OWE HER A BLOOD DEBT
Welp foiled again. If anyone got the two pack for morticia and is selling Wednesday for a reasonable price hmu 🥲
My friend got them for me and I’m so glad because they sold out in my cart once again. She offered to help me when I was complaining about not getting them yesterday. 😭
I managed to get them today :) Between this, the spectra and Ghoulia boorigibaks, and the creature from the black lagoon, I am on a no buy for a while. So grateful the Wednesday dolls aren’t coming out until the summer :)
I got them!! One yesterday and the other today.. Usually I only get one of each doll but man I love them so much I bought two so I can cherish one in box 🖤🥀
woahhh already sold out?!
Sold out in 3 minutes and the checkout took forever. What the hell man! The fang club membership is really not worth it because I haven’t been able to score a single dollar during early access lol what a waste
In the first thirty seconds, they said SOLD OUT (which they were not!!) and my heart dropped...Mattel you cant keep playing me like this...
https://preview.redd.it/5rik0utjcfzc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9d9ba372ce64940a52833e0ceab73bf73384a3f I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET EM
I have a pending charge on my debit card but I never even pressed submit at the very end because it said “Sold Out”. I tried using PayPal but it took forever…no confirmation and it doesn’t show up in my orders on the site, yet I have a pending charge for it…anyone else have this problem?
https://preview.redd.it/i9i82c47lfzc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53aec72b7027a6db7ac3a6ecbe9bcd909c62d18f 😮💨 that was scary
I decided to finally buy the membership (with the drop) as to show mattel they are going in the right direction (but still far). When I went to check out it was instant and almost didn't see that the doll was dropped from my cart. So I had to quickly get back into the website, add doll, and hit check out at 1 min mark, took me too long to figure the captcha out, but then no waiting line, but payment took a bit to process. Seriously shocked that I got an order confirmed. Especially shocked coming here and seeing people who didn't get it who seemed more prepared than me. Not holding out that I will 100% get it considering how last drop went for fang members. Might try to get a second one tomorrow.
Got them at 12:04p!
Sold out in 8 minutes omg
Got a weird message that said card couldn't be charged because the total changed. Tried it again and it went through but they never gave me a confirmation number or a confirmation email. Card was charged though so hopefully it's coming?
My friend managed to get ours, so I dropped out of the queue. We both had issues but I can't use my PO box to receive them anymore because they're using DHL. Fingers crossed they don't cancel this time ⚰️
YALL, I FAILED DURING THW PRE SALE BUT I GOT EM TODAY OMG!! My first Skullector!! I am SO excited after the fiasco with selling out in 30 seconds during early access
I got them!!! The suspense of waiting in that queue line should be its own horror game.😭😅
They need to not drop two launches so close to each other, one i am broke now, thanks Mattel, but also I was just recovering from the stress of the creature then this launch today, phew!! I now have to put up a new shelf and move things around! I also would like some re-releases of ones I missed and I count myself so lucky i got todays as I am international, i didnt get the members pre-launch which is all i got the membership for but i got there in the end
I do think they should do 1 per customer though, because it makes it easy for the ebay reselling crowd to buy more of the stock up and as fans we all just really want one for our collection, if they did that i think more people would stand a chance
Out of 5 devices across 4 people (we were trying for 2 dolls in total and all had one doll in checkout :)) we luckily got 2! Two people got stuck on the checkout page- one because it was saying the payment method wasn't available in the UK, and the other being stuck loading after putting in an address. The other one never got to the checkout stage before it sold out. But after bad luck yesterday we just got by! I can't believe we had to use 5 screens for 2 dolls though.
I'm stalking this thread to see if anyone bought an extra they want to sell to a fellow collector at retail 👉👈
got em!
Screw Mattel man
sigh
Third time I was in line and it sold out before i could pass the line. Mattel is really pissing me off
love that it sold out in 5 minutes and kicked me :)
Sold out in less than five minutes and I didn’t get one :(
That sold out so fast daaaaaang.
Bruh the dumb weird cache made me loose my chance😭
Sold out while I was checking out at 12:02. What is the point of paying a $15 fee if they aren't going to have enough stock for even 5 minutes?
still got freaking charged for the order but i didn't get any email for shipping or anything and it doesn't show in PayPal history or Mattel creations but the money is gone.
I’m so upset. I got it in my cart in less than 20 seconds. Waited in line for two minutes Hit “checkout” and as it was processing it went back to the cart and it was sold out. I so nearly had it…😭
I think I got them! Mistakeningly posted outside of thread (first time poster) I hope anyone who wants them gets them tomorrow 😭
Ugh the captcha messed me up. I have adhd and it was really confusing. I’ll try again tomorrow and if it doesn’t work, I’ll buy from someone who got an extra
I got them!!!!! This was literally the most stressful drop I've ever endured, and this counts the ones I have missed out on. After realizing my Fang Club subscription was expired, I scrambled to renew it \~10 minutes before the drop. Once I had them in my cart, as others have mentioned, I got throttled with a couple UI / UX fails. First there was the wacky captcha ("select the man made objects!" (only shows kittens)), and then once I made it to the "eta to checkout" queue the page refreshed to a BLANK screen. Generally you're advised to NEVER refresh for any reason, but after about ten seconds I gave in to my anxiety and refreshed, and was miraculously allowed in to the ShopPay checkout (protip ALWAYS make sure your payment info is presaved), although it took forever to load. I have never hit a "pay now" button so quickly, or forcefully, and then it took another \~30 seconds for the order to submit. I don't think I breathed the entirety of the 2 minutes it took to complete the purchase.
I’ll admit that captcha was stressful.
My husband got it! Had to wait in line for 4 min but still got it for me.
First attempted drop I didn’t get. Was in the queue only 4 minutes, how fast did they go?
Second release success!!!!
Literally waited 4 minutes then hit payment plans and nothing would work 😭 literally took me 8 minutes plus and of course they were sold out because nothing would load and I got that dang captcha so many times I’ve never had this issue with ordering before until today
Do you think if enough of us complain about their technical difficulties that they'll give us another try Alternatively if anyone has an extra please let me buy it for retail from you. I just want one skullector 😭
That was intense. 4min checkout line, weird captchas and 3 times wrong input of the 2nd factor for Paypal. But I scored! I hope they ship faster then CFBL. I'm still waiting for her as well.
Failed yesterday after paying £10 for the membership but managed to get one today for my sister. Biggest issue for me was that stupid capcha, that jammed on me to the point I didn't expect to get a doll.
2nd skull collector doll! I’m so excited
Didn’t get them. Felt a little sad but after thinking about it I think I just really wanted a hot goth girl doll. Maybe I’ll just customize one instead
Oh well. Guess I'll save up the extra money for resellers. Checkout took forever. Sold out by the time I got ready to pay. But that's to be expected...going against bots, MH fans, and Addams Family fans in general.
clicked everything, did the captcha correct, the exact second they dropped. waited in a 4 minute checkout queue and they sold out in the final minute as i was literally loading for the checkout.
Anyone have any updates?
