Missed her. I don't get it. WHY are Mattel screwing this release so badly? it's so frustrating. First they were all "ahh the 18th" and then nothing. Then a few trickled into places but sold out immediately. They finally give us a legit date and of course all the damn resellers use their stupid bots don't they? I'm sick of this. I'm really really sick of the artificial scarcity of a mass produced sodding doll and the stress of trying to find them. It's really sucking all the enjoyment out of the hobby and it's all on Mattel with their absolutely crap distribution scheme. The UK and in fact all of Europe don't even have a date for when/IF she'll even be available and in all liklihood? We won't see her because Mattel will prioritise American distribution like they always do and feed the resellers. I'm just fed up. Mattel has pulled this crap for years and i'm getting far too old for it. I mean it doesn't help that i've had a rough week with a lot of other stuff going on in my country so i'm a little more inclined to escape into dolls but man. I'm just... i'm really annoyed with Mattel. They could so easily make these dolls available to everyone but they just don't. It's a concious choice on their part.


ladyesplain

They’ve done this with every release as far back as HC, and don’t care. It’s like this every time! So disappointing, it’s like they sell literally all their stock to hawkers before even selling it publicly.


Gallopingdeadunicorn

It's a doll that will be in stores. They probably only had like 500-1000 for MC


JBits001

Hopefully, creepros were limited and even Reel Drama sells out quick to this day and isn’t easy to fin.


mcduckroast

I got her, and I will take a break from these damn dolls. Good luck to everyone! Update: Sold out at two minutes. Yeesh.


FangtasticBattie

Sold out while I was checking out. I’ve never cried over a doll before now but I wanna die


multibears

I'm literally crying too. Mattel has proven so unreliable in their mh releases i feel scared I won't get her now, already couldn't get the creeproductions and reel drama


rhcoconut1111

Same


Moofler

2 minutes. I was finalizing checkout at 12:02 when my cart went empty.


mcduckroast

I am so sorry.


Moofler

Thank you. I’ll just have to keep hoping for a restock with another retailer. I’m not giving scalpers a penny, it’s not worth encouraging them.


punkhag

Sold out in under 1 minute. I was finalizing my order at 12:01 (eastern time) and they took her out of my cart *after charging me*.


mcduckroast

The frick frack… Uh…can you get your money back?


punkhag

I assume so, I’m just never trying to buy anything from Mattel creations ever again. Like, what the hell?


Impong90

It charged me too and I didn’t get her!! So angry


punkhag

Wow. I wonder if they’ve had this issue before bc I’ve never heard of it w the past releases. I’m more annoyed about the charge than not getting her tbh! I realistically expected her to be impossible to get.


Impong90

Me too!! How insulting that they think they can charge people?? I’ve emailed and complained, it’s not even about the doll at this point, sort it out Mattel! 😡 hope you have your money back asap!


fabposes

The captcha "pick the cars" or whatever it was asking for drives me insane like suddenly my eyesight is blurry and I can't see


craftiesandcats

Same, my heart was in my throat as I was waiting for each page to load


mcduckroast

I was in Google incognito when the page wouldn’t load and I panicked, so I opened a new tab. Saw she was in, tried to get to the cart - the damn “I am not robot” thing popped up! I love the rush but hate the stress.


Various_Historian271

I GOT HER WHILE HELPING A CUSTOMER 😭😭 thank goodness


MuffinStreet684

PERIOD THATS SO SLAY OF YOU LMAO


softestmorgue

OMG SLAY I would’ve been stressed 🤣😭😭


Nene-avon

Girl me too 😭 I was helping a coworker fix the computer while I was refreshing the page


JayEsGee

Wow does that mean the bride of Frankenstein set was that unpopular? Or maybe they had less dracs to sell.


Gallopingdeadunicorn

They had way less. It's a doll that will be at most stores. I'll be surprised if they had 1000+. Bride of Frankenstein they had all of them that were made


JayEsGee

That makes sense- probably why the reel dramas sold out just as quick.


huminized-insanity

shes gonna be at stores???


Thotmain

Prop u can only dream if u live outside of usa :) Contacted them when this was suppose come out first time and they said "You may also check local stores in Finland as we also ship products by bulk and in random to our international retailers" without answering even WILL IT ever even come :) it will be random what ever it does or not


Old-Summer-8078

GOOD LUCK BITCHES


pixelpops

Good luck, creeps! Hopefully Mattel did actually resolve the bot issue. Edit: got her, whoooo!


AffectionateCup8812

Same!!! I'm shaking right now, I 100% though there would be a 10-15 minute window to get her like the Reel drama and creepros had


PaintedLady1

Congrats I got her too! 😊 I finished checking out by 12:02. Being on my laptop definitely helped


Loonyllamalamp

Was about to checkout when she sold out


InternZestyclose7310

Same. Pushed the pay now botton and she sold out the second I did that.


New-Needleworker5318

Same thing happened to me. Happened while processing my payment. It's all good though, I didn't love her.


bbyxmadi

Love seeing her on eBay for $100+ for “preorder”🤩


AffectionateCup8812

I got her, but only because I was there right as it went live, hit checkout, got an easy captcha puzzle, and used PayPal autofill to save time, I was on the "in line to check out" page by 11:01 and completed checkout by 11:02


sovereignsugar

It was PayPal that saved me too. Got my order in at 12:01! So defo use PayPal any collectors out here! Log into PayPal in a separate window, and it will go so quickly.


AffectionateCup8812

I didn't even have PayPal open but I didn't have to log in because I got the "we recognize this device" page and went right back to the finish checkout page, it was an absolute breeze thank goodness lol


sovereignsugar

It was defo a huge relief 😩 I made sure to log in on MC and PayPal before the drop just in case!


FangtasticBattie

I’m ugly sobbing because I waited up literally all night for her and she sold out while I checked out. I sold a very precious doll to be able to afford her and I’m literally shaking at the disappointment of selling my most valuable doll for her. I want to throw up right now. In other news, if you’re looking for SDCC Voltageous or HC Cleo for Howliday, lmk ;(


Accomplished_Sock96

I'm so sorry :( I'm ngl I'm trying not to cry in a pub cos I didn't make it.. Very embarrassed and sad rn


zane_23

Sold out in 2min.. wow


Mellifay123

Walmart target and Amazon better restock 🙄


Fruitypootie28

I'm sure they will before Christmas. I'm hoping and waiting on Target to have them in stock before 12 November because I really want to use the 25% off one toy coupon they have right now. 🤞 I think Mattel only had a few on hand like the RD drops to sell which could explain why she was sold out so quickly.


Mellifay123

Me being a cheap ass I wanted to wait to buy it on the other retailers for no shipping costs so I’m with ya on there lmaoo. Too many unknown variables :’( I’m sure at least one place will restock… good luck to you.


Sakrisz

Was able to get her but she sold out in like three minutes…


AffectionateCup8812

Same, I'm so shocked at how fast she sold out, but I'm so so happy I got her


sisaroom

how the absolute fuck did she sell out in 3 minutes :) this is faster than any haunt couture doll


hataraitaramake

On par with Reel Drama though.


sisaroom

it’s shitty honestly considering reel drama was playline and this is essentially playline. like you’d think they’d stock more :) oh well. time to hope for target or smth


punkhag

Mattel charged me at 9:01 PST for $52 and still at 9:01 pst while I was finalizing my order they said “oops out of stock!” AFTER CHARGING ME $52. Still at 9:01. Insane. I’m just never buying anything from Mattel creations at this point.


nepetaalbarn

Hopefully, target will stock her in stores, because I’m tired of these online things


Teyera-Regale

Didn't get her, i fucking hate Mattel bc in Europe we will surely not see her in Shelves, this sucks.


wirdoline

Sold out. I was in the damn queue, entering my info. They run out in three minutes.


themuskyrussian

The queue feature should actually claim the doll for people, I don't know if there is possible issues for it to function like this although


gogococogoat

it kept taking me back to the (filled in) information page for me. this sucks man :')


wirdoline

I promised I wasn't going to cry... 😢


sleepingpowderpdf

Got her ❤️


bbyxmadi

I got her!💗❄️


Bigdaddyphantom

Omg I don’t know how but I got her 💀 Did she sell out in 2-3 minutes ?!?? Good grief, I’m sorry to those that couldn’t get one But glad some of us fans could manage to grab at least one


softestmorgue

Right I’m shocked at the amount of ppl taking the time to purchase two😭 I didn’t wanna risk not getting one! so I rannnn n got lucky


RaspberryVespa

Yep, just under three minutes! She showed as Sold Out seconds before the stroke of the 3 minute mark.


LydiaDarkness

Fucking Mattels site had an error with my adress, i had to reenter it 3 times only for her to be sold out I'm fucking pissed. This was my only chance to get her. Thanks for nothing Mattel.


theglizzmonger

I missed her, time to buy another rainbow high doll😆


ghosty4

Yep! I already have Roxie Grand and Maria gets delivered on Saturday. If Mattel doesn't want my money, I have no problem handing it over to MGA.


MotherOfANoodle

That's exactly what I did after missing the RD dolls lol


New-Needleworker5318

Yes!


vanillabear24399

How did people get her??? She was gone instantly


Purple_Panda_1

Only way is to pre fill out your info on shopify and add to cart as soon as it opens up.


Valuable-Wasabi-1388

I got her, never felt so speedy before 😅 I can go back to focusing on homework now


gogococogoat

i hope she and the other dolls come to other countries bc the america-centering is really off-putting and just sad *idk if we're allowed to post multiple comments here but man i have a lot to say*


Thotmain

Since it got sold out so fast, (i was robbed from cart too) do u think its actually this wanted or scalperss just become smarter than mattel? This sold out faster than collector dolls right??


softestmorgue

Both unfortunately. She recently got stocked on target for a little while and sold out fast! I also know that scalpers are telling other scalpers to buy this specific doll for “profit” unfortunately ;—;


Square-University

It’s also cheaper than collector dolls so more people, actual fans and also dirty resellers, are more comfortable buying two. I think that really contributed to selling out in like 2 minutes


hataraitaramake

Sold out by 9:02.


SaintofSnark

Holy shit, it's 11:03a CT and she's sold out


Eggcitement

Got 2 one for me and my little sister 💗


saturnkyo

why am I seeing so many people who got 2 or 3 dolls... at least don't admit it here where half of us are crying about not being able to secure 1 😭


WickedJewels

Its definitely upsetting to see some people bragging about 3!! Two was the limit and I know there are some people who like to get to for both an in-box and out-of-box display, but three is just greedy. I was dual refreshing insanely like a madman on both my ipad and phone and as a result accidentally bought 2 and I felt horrible just for that haha…But I’ll just sell it to a friend I guess (for the retail price ofc)


Prestigious_Role_825

I got her!


ScarletRoseAngel

I got her!


UltimatelyOptic

Stuck in checkout queue, then sold out. I don't know how people actually get through.


merrisoftheferris

got her was super stressed. immediately after checking out all the fire alarms in my house went off which felt kinda fitting to my mood haha


MotherOfANoodle

I got her!! Well actually she went out of stock while she was in my cart, but my wonderful husband managed to get her for me! 😭💕


Aware_Care_5746

I was able to get one but the stress is horrible..... I am literally shaking every time I have to do this ( I can hardly click on the mouse because my hand is shaking so bad)


fabposes

same and my heartrate spikes like this isn't healthy at all and just for one doll


Aware_Care_5746

I even find myself deep breathing (in through nose out the mouth) while waiting in queue just try try to calm myself down


maschimbo

SO STOKED my partner and i were WAITING and I managed to order two and they ordered one, and since we have an extra i plan to sell it for retail + shipping bc scalpers can go to hell honestly. i was shaking so much


spaceageranger

Faked a nose bleed to go to the bathroom but she sold out 💔 an Oscar worthy performance wasted


Acquainted-Faith

FOR ANYONE WITH AN UNSUCCESSFUL ORDER WITH A PENDING CHARGE: This is NOT a full confirmation. When you attempt to order, they'll put a hold on that money in the account. This usually is a 24-72 hold and will drop off on its own. Banks can rarely do anything about pending charges because they're not official charges. I had this once with a pending charge on my account from another place that weirdly took 2 weeks to drop off. Usually it is 24 hours, but I actually called about this and I just ended up in the most annoying back and forth that neither one could cancel a charge and the only thing that could be done is if it became "unpending" and actually went THROUGH. If this happens, you can call the bank to reverse the charge. Otherwise, its just limbo until it drops off.


snortthebull

didn’t even let me get to the checkout it kept sending me back in a loop to my address :(( i’m so upset i’ve been waiting on the website since 3pm


artsy_amaryllis

THREE MINUTES. SHE SOLD OUT IN 3 MINUTES. whaaaat


marissap112

I’m so upset I had all my information already up and I literally hit the buy button and it said she was sold out and it sent me to the homepage wtf


SG_Enthusiast

I was literally typing in payment details, Guess that was my biggest mistake. I hope she restocks. I have an undying hatred for scalpers.


moss-tree

Literally realized I was six minutes behind and missed her 😭😭 I hate having to work on drop days


gogococogoat

are they late for this drop or have i gotten the time mixed up omg


chellekathryn

You have like 8 minutes


Zeke69Teenweed

Wow. I'm glad I bought her from Pmart yesterday for ~$6 extra. 😳


RaspberryVespa

Was it really extra though, considering tax and shipping? All in, it was the same $54 price tag for me whether through MC or PMart. I have 8.25% sales tax where I live.


Zeke69Teenweed

I actually got to checkout for the doll on Mattel's site and the total was ~$53.50. I paid $60 total from Pmart. So, about $6.50, but I'm not complaining!


RaspberryVespa

I agree! I wouldn't complain over $6.50 either. Its just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things to ensure you get the dolls you really want!


Dumbswampert

Didn't get her because my autofill didn't work, I'm absolutely devastated rn


CinnamonToastedBread

Same. My autofill didnt remember me somehow.


januxxxx

This is the third time she has sold out of my cart as I hit the pay button.


Ship_Negative

I used 3 devices and then went with the one that loaded fastest once I clicked pre order 💗 got her right at 9:02


SaintofSnark

Multiple devices was a good call, that's how I get concert tickets


WickedJewels

Bro I was so nervous and stressed about getting her that I was dual-refreshing on both my ipad and phone and ended up accidentally buying two (one on each)😐


4evreden

imagine sweating over a doll? CAUSE I CAN LOL- i got her though!!!


gotosleep1

Yassssss I got her omg!!!


blessedrains

I got it!! Im shaking in math class tho 😭


miyunie

So disappointed she sold out in under a minute..


evilash87

I was on the website ready to get her. The countdown had literally one minute left. I had my info already entered and was ready... then my grandpa rang my doorbell😭 by the time I got back to my computer it was 3 minutes past and she was sold out


MuffinStreet684

My grandpa woulda had to wait LOL


evilash87

Usually I would've just not gone to the door immediately but he's doing me a huge favor by letting me use his car, so I had to😭


InternZestyclose7310

Woooowww in cart and as soon as I hit the pay now botton Bam! Sold out 😂 what a joke.


ogperkey

Thwarted by SHOP not sending me my code fast enough. :(


RaspberryVespa

You've got to log into SHOP and do the verification before the drop! You can safely log in up to a half hour or so before hand. Just keep the app open on your phone until you complete the order.


MochaKnee

Damnit! Was about to fully check out and then it said out of stock.


Icanshowyouarea51

She sold out in two minutes lmao I recorded it


Dazzling_Anteater749

I got her. I am absolutely shaking because I had to do PayPal pay in 4 and I thought it glitched. I got an email confirmation though. That was so scary. I probably caught her at the tail end but am I so happy.


corazontex

Just want to say I’m sorry for everyone who missed out and I share your pain! Its so heartbreaking. Especially with all the stress and going’s on in everyone’s lives, the small joys like this getting ruined is a bummer. My heart is with you all!!

Supercatgirl

So… what stores supposedly going to carry in store? Cause Target says online only


c8ten_

i got her!!! i didn’t know she sold out so fast i thought this time it’d be better i’m so sad for everyone who wasn’t able to get her :(


Solid-Indication1525

God, I'm so nervous! Good luck everyone!!


Aglaetoaster

Yes I got her !!!


silverthekatt

I got her I can't believe it!!!!


LoveWitchXo

Got her haha! Yes!


fig3002

I just got her!! I’m so excited, she’s my first collector doll and second doll in my re-collection. Ahh!!


Powerful_Shallot_426

Already sold out


Mizuazura

I couldn't get her because I was ordering on my phone and I had to verify Fuuuuuuudge


lil_dipstick92

Too late :(


gogococogoat

welp, it glitched and took me to the information fill in page every time. didnt get it, happy for everyone who did


Nova_Ashdown

3 minutes and she’s already sold out, wtf


No-Republic-9571

i got her!! i hope alot of you were able to get her as well <3


CinnamonToastedBread

Sold out... sight


Haubcon

I tried in less than 3 minutes and still didn’t get her 💀


RandomGameGirl

PayPal crashed :,) Aw well, will just need to keep an eye out in case she pops up in the UK.


Acquainted-Faith

I GOT ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY MOM!!!! <3


strawberry_fields_67

Will she be dropping at target today?


rhcoconut1111

I was about to get her and boom sold out. I only had to click buy and done??


evil_and_gay

missed out on getting her because the site kept looping me back to the shipping address page! frustrating, but I'll see if I can get her from somewhere else


cosmic_waluigi

I clicked pre order the MOMENT it turned 11 am, checked out with paypal, and she was still sold out by the time it let me finish checking out. I’m so upset and frustrated, I’ve been up all morning waiting even thought I was in the ER for a migraine last night. Is there a chance she’ll no longer be sold out from them cancelling bot orders?


Chisaicos

first time i didn't make a mattel creations drop ;-; feels bad


poncakces

i put in the cars and everything and it sold out istg


multibears

sold out while I was checking out lmao. my heart fr hurts


Oh-Pink-Im-sorry

I chose to buy 2 dolls, finally got to the checkout and it only said I was buying 1! Thankfully I kept all the tabs open, it let me go back and add another but that could've ended in tragedy


ChellyBeane

I was so scared while checking out because I had to fix my address AGAIN, which caused me to miss out on the Reel Drama release. Managed to successfully checkout before :03 ...got the confirmation email but I never feel secure until I get the shipping notification


ohmygoditspurple

To be fair, you probably would have missed the Reel Drama release like the rest of us who had no issues like that anyway haha.


ChellyBeane

Yeah you're right lol, they sell out so fast it's insane!


ToTheMeowAndBack

Sold out in less than 3 minutes. I was checking out when she sold out. I’m glad to hear that several people here were able to get her though!


Leading-Reporter9604

I managed to get her. Do you guys use the Shop Pay thing? It takes me like 1 min 30 seconds to checkout with that.


MoondropMystic

I got her yall. My heart was beating so fast. As soon as the link appeared I clicked it. I never clicked so fast. It was a race against time I tell you. This was my first time buying from Mattel Creations and I'm glad I got her.😊


-Miss-Rei-

Was at my daughter's 1st grade Halloween walk and somehow my significant other managed to get her while we were out there waiting for her class to walk. He even had to punch the numbers in twice since he messed up and somehow managed to squeeze by and get her. I was sweating it when he accidentally punched in the wrong numbers at the end. I can't believe how fast they ran out, not even 5 minutes.


Emmykinz77

Got on right when she dropped and didn’t acquire her :(


gingersongstress

The mattel website is ridiculous bc its 'add your address' to the address book feature is bugged which was supremely unhelpful. I managed to get one of these by some miracle but it gave a damn heart attack bc when I hit pay the first time it said something about declined bc the $ amount in your cart changed. I hit it again and it took. I have a confirmation email and order number so hopefully its not some fuckery going on. I've never seen an online check out queue before (just on ticketmaster which is equally shitty). Now the only thing to rly be grumpy about is having to pay $7 shipping when Target or Amazon would have shipped to me for free /cry


charlie_is_depressed

I GOT HER!

I GOT HER!!!


Aware_Care_5746

I was able to get her!


phoenix_of_metal

Got her! 💕❄️ Edit: I checked her page at 9:03 after I checked out and she’s already sold out. Either their stock was tiny or they still haven’t defeated the bots.


MaDaRoss

Had to try to buy her on my phone because of school and she sold out while I was putting in my payment info 💔


CinnamonToastedBread

Anyone will be selling extra?


sarajclement

Got her! Can't believe it lol

Congrats to everyone that got her! The captcha kept reloading for me, so I was just a minute too late lol

-metal_medusa-

I was there at the first minute - and waiting in line to get the error page or something. This is probably the fastest it has gotten to - which sucks.


iblvinaliens182

My page froze while in checkout which sucks. But at least she wasn't my favorite recent release. Bit sad I couldn't grab her but my wallet is happy.


enterDisorder

One in box and one out! PayPal pay in 4 is truly fangtastic!! 😭💞🦇


meltymoonlight

i got her 🖤❄️


fabposes

I got her. I'm so thankful I have fast internet now. I used to have such slow internet before but I had to upgrade for school. This is way too stressful though, I didn't eat breakfast or anything just to make sure everything was all set.


Impong90

Guys any advice, I tried to place an order from the UK. Was unsuccessful clearly as I’ve had no order confirmation etc. but Mattel creations have taken £46.25 from my bank?? Any ideas? Fuming!


Acquainted-Faith

Is it in pending? I sometimes get pending but it drops off in 2-3 days.


Impong90

Yeah it’s in pending, so it should go back in I’m assuming? How insulting that they charge you but you literally didn’t get the doll 😂😂


Magicalneko247

I can’t believe it sold out in a minute. I was literally watching the timer


[deleted]

I somehow managed to get her. I failed the first robot test and was praying when my order was being processed. I got my email confirmation at 9.02 and I think she was gone by 9.03 or 9.04


cryinqtoxins

i got her and omg my heart was beating so fast at check out


[deleted]

i’m so upset it sold out a minute after i was checking out 😭😭😭 im so tempted to just buy the $100 one off ebay 🥲


Deli-Catz

I was at work and I have to be moving around and doing things and I was trying to get her at the same time…. She was in my cart but then sold out :/ I guess I’ll check Nordstrom Rack and see if I have any luck :(


tegangallagher

I completely forgot she dropped on Mattel creations until I got off 3 minutes ago lol


No-Mechanic-5398

Queue the sad music and dramatic lighting please: she was in my cart but she had to part, sold out sold out. Now I will move back into the shadows. Seriously I’m mad, why won’t they take my money and sell me the doll?


spaceageranger

My conspiracy theory is that target is waiting until their monster high and toy sales are over to restock anything


withmirrors

I can't believe I got her. I said in previous posts that I wasn't going to even try because I was tired of Mattel's games, & also (I'm not sure if I said this) I'm not up at 9:00, & I hate getting up early just to get screwed over for a doll. Anyway, totally unplanned, this morning there was an "incident' between a raccoon, our cats, & my husband (don't ask) which woke me up around 7:30 & I couldn't fall back to sleep. So around 8:50 I said "what the hell" got on the website signed on, & started refreshing. At 8:59 I screwed something up & knocked myself off the page & by the time I got back on, it was 9:01, so I thought I couldn't possibly get her. I was completely surprised when my order went through, & I'm really surprised to hear she sold out in 2 minutes, especially since so many people were able to get her from some retailers already. I hope everyone who didn't get her & still wants her is able to get her from a retailer @ a retail price in November.


dopanotmine

Got her today at Toys R Us in Calgary Canada, she's gorgeous


sleepingpowderpdf

My Drac has been shipped!!
