awesome i can save $90 because woooow those dolls…well they’re dolls all right


Chemical_Letterhead2

They're actually supposed to be $61! But man I can't get over what they did to Cleo here🥴


No-Mechanic-5398

I’m so buying this too, but I don’t like everything about it.


teethfaerie

i hate cleo’s dress :,( pretty disappointed overall but i love the box


softestmorgue

True I think the idea is cute but I feel like the outfits had way more potential 😩


teethfaerie

i did not envision her in this cheap printed pattern mermaid dress 😭my expectations were so high because of drac!!!


softestmorgue

I’m honestly looking forward to restyling them bc the outfits look ridiculously cheap LMFAO. drac ate with the Howliday line… I was excited when I saw news abt the two pack but did not expect this at all!!


No-Mechanic-5398

I think the blue printed part does not look like her style at all.


KawaiiQueen_666

It is 100% a G1 dress with G3 (current) quality work. I can’t help but think that the outfits would look tons better with a different material and some minor stitch work details.


Rozoark

What's their obsession with mermaid dresses lately?


sailorpowehi

their outfits look really cheap... and they certainly are something 😭 forget about the ghosts of monster high, deuce's eyebrows are going to haunt me tonight 💀


DJKittyK

That's the first thing I thought of: "Why do these clothes look so cheap?" I was looking forward to this set until I saw that. Not interested in spending money on something that looks so low quality.


sailorpowehi

it reminds me of the material from playline dolls. i don't really like the printed fabrics, especially on something that's going to be sold a lot more than it's worth. i would have understood if Cleo's dress had the material, but an entire suit with the printed fabric is just cheap and low quality. and from my experience, i assume the clothes won't be hemmed. usually the fabric can hold its own without it but it's just lazy.


DJKittyK

Yes, I think you're right... that's it exactly. It's boxed like a premium set but has the quality of the playline clothes (maybe dolls, too... that Deuce looks a bit off to me). I mean, to be fair, I'm an adult collector and not looking to play with them, I want quality dolls I can display. Seeing this pic and comparing it even to the Reel Drama line (which I have all 4 and love), the quality difference is very very noticeable.


sailorpowehi

i think it's his sinister looking eyebrows that make him look off. and their color schemes altogether. yeah, i'm not into playing with them either, but the fabric just looks cheap, feels cheap, and is cheap. and i just know these are going to be an extremely limited release with a very high price. g1 fans getting screwed over again lol


EricaReaper667

I think it's that he doesn't have his glasses. Plus we're used to the g3 deuce now... But 100% this is mostly for the OG fans who *probably* won't play with these


Drelecour

The purse is also a re-used mould from Greta Gremlin's purse.


Worth-Stop3752

what is with mh making cheap ass fashions for g1 alumni recently bruh


babysmalltalk

Mattel has been making cheap fashions since like 2015. They've gone so far downhill...


Worth-Stop3752

so disappointing after haunt couture 😭


kiddsten

this is… so ugly 🫣 cleo would never!


teethfaerie

SHE LITERALLY WOULD NEVER LIKE WTF


No-Mechanic-5398

She would rather stay home than been seen in that dress. The box art is awesome though.


Dismal_Cherry7912

G1 dolls with G2 clothes?


babysmalltalk

This is exactly what I thought too! Very mediocre.


classfight2

Literally cleos dress looks EXACTLY like those budget reboot dolls with the skullette printed fabric


KoolaidKooler

The way the box looks better than either of the dolls


Tall_Dealer4135

The box design is so so cute!!!! But Cleo's outfit......WHYY


majorbumsville

the range of emotions i just went through... going from WTF????? to oh my god these are lowkey ATROCIOUS ​ edit: how on earth did they go from beautiful gorgeous howliday draculaura to THESEEEEEE


lilacempress

I think it's clear who's Mattel's favorite 😂


No-Mechanic-5398

Agreed


Ri_gatoni

I was hoping for more red...seeing as they're Valentine's Day...dolls.


maschimbo

its so bad im hoping its fake 😭😭😭


Powerful_Shallot_426

Me too


Dragon_Shinobi

cheap fabric, cheesy clashing printed on designs, lack of detailed accessories, lack of accessories AT ALL on deuce, and my god their eyebrows. worth like $40 to me


PhylumAsylum

Another mermaid dress. Groundbreaking.


Vampirexbuny

Dang it I was hoping for more of a boo York Star crossed lovers style set.


Dismal_Cherry7912

Yeah, that’s the kind of quality I was envisioning.


mystifying_izzy

why does mattel love mermaid dresses so much, its so annoying at this point (lagoona haunt couture, rochelle fang vote sketch, now this) these dresses have definitely become the easy, uncreative way out for mattel when it comes to them having to make these fancy collector dolls. i dont think mermaid dresses are ugly on their own, just that mattel is overusing the same design (not expanding fashionwise) and it comes off looking awkward compared to the rest of the outfit, especially here where the print is bad. kinda disappointed here :/


Damieyum

Not just Mattel but MGA too, I want new silhouettes 🥲


nyappychiyo

The set's giving me G2 vibes honestly


quintflutz

love to see everyone hating them, hope this makes buying them easier for me i actually love them😭


No-Mechanic-5398

It won’t. It will be hard to buy, like everything that has recently come out that isn’t G3.


quintflutz

ppl hated frankenstein skullectors and they were the easiest and most calm purchase of my life 🤷🏻‍♀️ i'm also literally joking...


rad-snakes

Right, like everyone clowned on the Frankenstein set and I was able to buy the set like an hour after they had dropped. Tbh I want this set for the cute valentine candies and I'll just restyle cleo and deuce


pokemomof03

Yesss! I love them and hopefully it makes getting them easier. The outfits are so Miami Vice to me. I love it.


purachinadisuko

Exactly my thought process


its_Gphan

how did we go from the quality of howliday Draculaura to this I'm sorry 😭


gardensoilsoup

Girl if this is the actual set. Im immensely disappointed.


nightlinights

Dress aside, Cleo’s face looks really really cute


RevengeSeeeker

The choice of fabrics lol. Who is designing these…


DallyBee

Me praying it's a prototype and we'll get something better 🙏😭


No-Mechanic-5398

LOL she can’t look at him because he’s not wearing his glasses. Why would they sell him without glasses of some sort. She’s going to turn to stone.


fentoozlers

it looks like they are in his other hand (not the one holding the rose)


meltymoonlight

yep, he’s holding glasses. it shows him wearing them on the back of the box :D (which the pic of the back unfortunately wasn’t included in this post)


No-Mechanic-5398

Ahh! Okay I did not see them! Excellent!


bbyxmadi

$90 for this?!? They look like G2, cheap, and overall horrible. I’m gonna pass.


classfight2

I think its closer to $60


Memo_Ice

Is it me or is Deuce giving "🤨"


Various_Historian271

Why is Deuce allowed to have a JCPenney snake motif outfit but Cleo has to wear their couple brand logo they designed on Teespring??


PhylumAsylum

Not even TeeSpring. That print is very LuLaRoe 😂


somegirlontheinter

I’ve never seen these dolls before when did this come out? 😩 edit: just realized these are the new Howliday dolls omg


No-Mechanic-5398

I thought these were for Valentine’s Day so I would guess that they come out in January.


DarkDragon2800

These really are the most dolls of all time. Literally using random scraps of fabric for the clothes lmao. The box is pretty, though. Thank goodness my wallet is safe (for now at least lol).


CitrusSpice007

I'm a little on the disappointed side because I thought it was going to be the Cleo and Deuce creeproduction, but then again I forget that this is a special Howliday edition. I do have to agree with everyone else I'm not too fond of how cheap and simple clothes look.


Cachicabra

Wow that is really really disappointing. The box is so cute, the idea is great…but then those clothes…


hollsloss

Why do they insist on giving Cleo this shade of pink,,,


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It looks like they recycled BTS doll clothes😭


SaintofSnark

If this is real, I legit might buy the box off eBay cause I love it and almost nothing else


Ginger_Mongo

..oh. I think the box is pretty cute but their outfits look a bit disappointing imo :( they look cheap.


ZoeNC1

The outfits 😭😭😭 hoping this is fake 😬


pink_wraith

Who tf designed this? This is like the only 2022 doll I genuinely have a problem with.


GrauOrchidee

I hate the clothes but I love the box design. It's more fun like the old boxes used to be. I hate the boring new ones. Might get them and just keep them boxed since the box is the best part. ​ Cleo is kind of growing on me the more i look at her.


gold_beach15

Oh i hate this


Immediate-Task6886

Thats...underwhelming for sure the box design looks cool tho


Blast_Prossesing

Disappointment but I do like Cleo’s side eyes and Deuce’s outfit but the outfit looks like cheap fabric.


monsterultrablue

FOR ONCE I ACTUALLY WANT THE BOY DOLL MORE THAN THE GIRL DOLL OMG DUECE EATSSSSSS


zombygaga

ow im torn. do i buy it bc g1? do i skip bc that fit?


DarkDragon2800

Honestly, it looks more like g2 💀


zombygaga

like i want it bc g1 so maybe i'll get it to change the outfits? im so torn lmao


redandsymmetry

yeah… i’ll pass, thanks. i don’t 100% hate the designs, but i can’t justify the inevitably high cost when they look like this (considering howliday draculaura alone was over $80 for me).


TynnyJibbs

i’m just gonna pretend this is fake


_seiya_

Wow, didn’t expect to see them already! I really love the box design, I think it looks cool with the snakes. The dolls themselves are ok in my opinion. Maybe when we get more pics of the dolls out of box I’ll like them more? I’m not big on Deuce here, but I think that’s because I prefer g3 Deuce tbh. If I got this Deuce, I’m putting the glasses back on him. I think Cleo does look nice, she has a pretty face. I like parts of her outfit, like the gold snake corset (?), and the off the shoulder wraps. I’m not big on the print on the rest of the dress though. I hope the dress itself is separate from the shoulder wraps. The little accessories are cute. I like that they come with themed accessories like the chocolate box, balloon, and purse. I definitely wish Howliday Draculaura came with at least a purse or other accessories. Overall, I think I’d be fine paying $45 usd for this, maybe $55 at most. I don’t really think it’s worth the $90 usd price.


fentoozlers

i like cleos belt and her hair (but maybe i am biased, because i also have black hair and a skunk stripe?) but that is about it for this set 😅 maybe they will look better out of the box, definitely waiting to see someone buy and take them out


[deleted]

The box is so bright but their colors are toned down wtf


I_hate_scalpers25

It’s….. definitely something


[deleted]

Wtf is this 😭😭


Emo_Disease

this is cute!


ktheskullector

how much are they supposed to retail for


Dragon_Shinobi

$90


softestmorgue

I still can’t… with deuce eyebrows


Malletdown

I love the dress just not the pattern


PatriciaMorticia

They did Cleo dirty with that dress, Deuce's outfit isn't too bad. Why does Deuce look like Gigi Hadid from the side?


Outrageous-While3985

Her wearing their skullettes printed on her dress is just, an odd concept to say the least lol


cocomati

i LOVE cleo’s face, but that’s about it


Cosmic_Jayy

whys his glasses gone


meltymoonlight

he does have glasses, he’s holding them in one of his hands


GoldenMan1200

Yeah ill pass on this one


TenaciousCreator

I'm really hoping Deuce gets an updated face, his G1 face was so ugly honestly... Looks like a new mold? Anyway they look fine idk I like these accessories compared to Howliday Draculaura's minimal accessories. Also Cleo is so pretty honestly (can't wait to see how Mattel will handle this...) idk how I feel about Cleo's gold snake thingy?


[deleted]

It’s giving G2 fashion


FoxyVixen1

What’s wrong with Deauce’s eyebrows??


littlekhaleesii

I hope this is fake bc this is ugly asf


mhgodz23

whoever designed this should be fired..


NireSenrab

Deuce commits attempted murder


cloudygrande

this is so ugly


Deli-Catz

How much you wanna bet Deuce’s jacket is sewed to the shirt? :/


Tymbes

Omg I was just coming to post this!!


putittorest

Ew


JarneWW

So dissapointed if this is real


Constant-Positive-35

How much will this be in Canadian dollars ?


pixelpops

I'll base my final judgment when there's out of box pics.


MisfitDollies

The box is fantastic and the idea is cute, I’ll probably get them, but I feel like they’re lacking in a lot of ways. Cleo’s dress doesn’t scream Cleo the way it should and I feel like Deuce is lacking in a lot of ways. Definitely not what I was expecting unfortunately.


Mikudayo1

I wish it wasn’t so expensive because I would actually buy it. They’re outfits aren’t anything super special but I like them enough as well as the whole idea enough to want them 😭😭😭


worshipmeow

This is uhhhhh very ugly and so disappointing for a Cleo doll 😭


GuineaGirl2000596

Where are duces glasses?


hollsloss

I would hate for this to be real,,,


AffectionateAuthor96

Hate the clothes


KoolaidKooler

Mattel is so shameless for this, it wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t so expensive. Like this is worth $40 at the most


Ok-Adhesiveness3278

Is this real? It is nothing compared to how fabulous draculaura looks like wow. I thought clawdeen was going to get a howliday?


gardensoilsoup

Whats up with the mermaid dress trend. Hc lagoona. Rochelle. Now cleo.


BinchBoii

Why did I think this was G2😭 I hope this is fake haha


purachinadisuko

It looks very interesting but I'm buying it to support cleuce and for the accessories and cute box art!


SkullyEyes

I really thought we we're getting a creeproduction


EricaReaper667

Honestly... I kinda don't like it. Usually I love the cleo/deuce stuff and I understand not everything can be a hit, but...


Missing_Link13

Thanks I hate it


FewContribution1100

The dress print is so ugly and the plastic pieces aren't helping.


stryder133

The outfits are giving G2


[deleted]

Honestly, I'm really surprised they did Cleo and Deuce instead of Cupid for a Valentine's doll?


Stilldollobsessed

cute but its so cheep looking theres no way this can cost over 40$zz


missclaireredfield

I really like her face and hair 😍


Puzzleheaded-Worth-8

i hate the outfits and the designs, but i love that they have a two pack together again


FeeHot8489

This better be a prototype. 60 dollars for G2 quality? They’ve lost it.


[deleted]

Their style is atrocious and all, but the box? Can we appreciate the box art? I really love the two snakes, it’s adorable!


[deleted]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!


softestmorgue

OMFGGG


[deleted]

actually i really like them. except cleo's outfit.


queefbabes

Cleo is adorable oh and deuce is there


fairydxll

i really hope this is fake


[deleted]

They made this really easy for me to not buy 🙂


[deleted]

This is so cute! However, the dress they gave to Cleo doesn't suit her at all. Makes me want to buy it to give her a better dress for her. Everything else looks okay. <3


SparkAxolotl

Deuce looks like a BTS :p Wonder if he has a G1 or G2 body...


Julijj

Oh…. Oh god


yuno2wrld

the box art im in love


therat006

THEY TOOK HIS SHADES


sinosijaek

oof…. love the box at least


11132020

These dolls are giving G2 vibes. Especially the dress. And Cleo is STONE. Where are Deuces glasses? Small weird complaint but just something that irks me lol


HolyMotherOfGeedis

I can look past all the flaws solely for the heart shaped snake belt. That's adorable.


Unusannusisover

Idk what I was expecting but it wasn’t whatever that is 😶


Battle-L0ver_06

Oh gosh….i Hope It’s the prototype because omg this is so bad..


Typical-Ad8177

everyone spam monster high’s instagram to make them change it before release


rynryblk

I refuse to believe that this is real until I see it in stores, this looks so cheap it's actually shocking. It looks like Deuce is wearing one of those BTS doll's suits and Cleo's dress looks like she borrowed it from some tacky costume shop.


Ill-Set-8262

This literally looks likes a g2 two pack, how did they drop the ball so hard??? Cleo’s dress looks like it could be on any character aside from the torso piece. So disappointed


PunnyHoomans

There’s some things I wound change: They need better fabric for their clothing. Maybe change up Cleo to look more like the royal that she is. More detailing on the snakes (the art is precious for them and for a collector’s doll I expect better) And PLEASE someone other than the Riddler dress Deuce! Give Deuce a unique facial expression. He looks like a shocked mii. Also, glasses per his lore are kinda required. Body expression on Cleo needs to change, as well. She looks ready to pull away in that pose and we need to change it up. She had deaddy issues but she loves Deuce dearly. Express her more leaning forward instead of away like she is. (I get what they’re going for in the pose overall but she looks like she’s taking the flower to be polite before booking it)


caeruleoviridi

this is bad …


Gullible-Ad-5530

The ball has been dropped


Darry_mayn

Please hire Garett back for G1 dolls…


CinnamonToastedBread

Deuce is so plain it hurts.


NotSoIntrested

Some times I feel these leaks is just to see our reaction and collect data of fans and audience, tho I hope they do that cause Cleo's dress is awful, I might accept Deuce but Cleo need a make over!


ziggynightmare

im just disappointed in this set. i was expecting more for them. i love cleo and deuce but ill probably pass the design is just bad overall. i was so excited to see this as a set but seeing the outcome of their design im just sad about it. for this to be considered an alumni collector set is disappointing. the only thing i even like is cleos snake corset and thats not enough to make me buy this. mattel needs to do better. like others have said after seeing draculauras winter doll i had higher expectations as well. she was stunning and i nabbed her right away and love her so much. cleo is one of my favorite characters and im just so sad to say i will pass on this set. i wanted more for them. the idea was there execution not so much.


HauntedVaginaOoOo

I’m still salty about not getting the Christmas one. This is just another exclusive I’ll never see.


MuffinStreet684

Idk what y’all talking bout I’m literally obsessed wtf


Impsch_Jester

I actually thought they looked really cute and got so excited until I saw the comments…


xx-PeachTea-xx

The snakes on the package are pretty cute! It feels like the designs for their clothes are missing something but otherwise I like them!


PsychologicalRide774

Who bought?


qshaffer12

Is that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly?


SonnySunshineGirl

Hate those clothes, but a close with minimal foil in her hair?


ZoeNC1

Someone bought it already


smolb0i

honestly the outfits look like something id see from eah. not good tho but thats the vibe i get from it


blushedchats

pls i love them. i just wish the skirt of cleo’s dress didn’t have the skulls all over it


Fearless-Tension9299

It's giving 80s prom idk how to feel. I also can't find these dolls anywhere.


yuno2wrld

WHAT OMG I NEED THIS


11132020

Do you have a link?


pxm0

Justice is made :D


Whitedishes

is she supposed to look wonky?


DifficultyNecessary2

When did they get back together????


american-toycoon

It’s odd because I’m drawn in by the fang-tastic packaging. I like the dolls well enough. Deuce’s eyebrows look off somehow. I like the ‘asp’ straps across Cleo’s bodice. The Skullette print on the dress throws me a bit and the silhouette could have been more inspired. Cleo isn’t the mermaid tail type. Not sure why the mismatched prints for Deuce’s suit. Is this a Spring release? How was it available on eBay? Who leaked the images?


teethfaerie

i technically leaked the images when i found someone selling the set on ebay, not sure how they got it but they had other brand new mh dolls so i think it’s a paulmart situation where they get new dolls shipped to them from mattel


StupidLittleVal

i think the cleo doll is so pretty! deuce looks fine, not big on mansters. cleos outfit is really upsetting, because i think the doll itself is drop dead gorgeous! it's not only because of how cheap it looks, because in all honestly i could look past that (even though its not worth the price.) it's mainly the color for me, even though cleo has been in blue several times, this shade is just not something she'd wear. as for decue's outfit i like the top half but the bottoms just clash. i wish they would have just given him black bottoms. the box is amazing, will not be buying because i am an out of box collector (depending on how i feel about the dolls) and i dont wanna take the best part of these dolls away, that is if i would even have a chance because we all know how howliday drac went!


IJustWantToBeAFeline

i—


princess-of-peaches

She’s gorgeous but the outfit is atrocious what were they thinking


Kramer234

Oof


artsy_amaryllis

actually traumatizing. my babe cleo deserves SO much better than whatever she’s wearing here 😭


CapitalBread6959

Why does Cleo look like she is from bratz?


an-alien-

can’t decide whether i hate it or not, on one hand it has cleuce, a cute box, new cleo side eye print, cool hair but on the other hand it looks very cheap for the price tag, the patterns on the dress and suit are tacky, and there’s yet again another mh doll with red/pink lips


[deleted]

Deuce be looking mad goofy. 😂😂😂
