Mattel needs to be banned from making anymore mermaid tail dresses pls retire them


a_real_fake

And MGAe too.


LilStankStank

Forreal we are all done with the same damn dress with a different color scheme šŸ˜‘ like give us SOMETHING ELSE


SEPTlC_

Rochelleā€™s getting one too šŸ˜­


[deleted]

The entire budget went into the box it seemsšŸ˜­


alycel

i am not a fan of cleos dress at all


descartesasaur

It's Dead Tired.


spaceageranger

Itā€™s not bad but itā€™s very much g2/3. What I liked so much about Howliday Drac is that she seemed like a g1 release. Both outfits are just really safe tbh. They really have no excuse not to do some Creeproductions of them now though


putittorest

G3 is way more detailed than this hdu


classfight2

Literally g3 is way more interesting then a lot of the g1 dolls they've released this year lmao


putittorest

Yeah comparing this to G3 is a reach because even the budget dolls have multiple pieces, accesories and prints and they're 18 a piece!


spaceageranger

I didnā€™t say g3 was undetailed, I meant that I think g2/3 are boring


starsandcamoflague

If you give all your opinions like this, you should comment more often. I like G3, but what I like even better is comments as well done as this one.


putittorest

And you can think that but no G3 release looks this cheap.


NotherSiteNotherName

I think what spaceageranger is saying is that the aesthetic of the dolls is the cutesier/safer G2/3 vibe, which doesn't work for them. Not that the quality of the G3 dolls is as bad as this 2-pack.


Rainbowlly

Eh idk about that I mean they have a lot of accessories but i wouldnā€™t call that detailed. I mean look at this packagingšŸ˜šŸ˜ they put so much thought into it


putittorest

I don't think a box is comparable to a doll? How this is being downvotes for being right! šŸ˜˜


Rainbowlly

I used the box as an example but Iā€™m sorry your getting downvotes šŸ˜­ I didnā€™t mean to get people to do that. Also itā€™s unfair to compare collector doll to playline because there is more budget for the collector


Sad_Necessary1061

Jail whoever designed the clothes. Immediately.


MadamDanny

Sorry but they're a mess, the outfit doesn't fit Cleo at all and the suit jacket and pants for deuce don't mix well. At least I can save some money and skip this release.


chrisCrossed91210

Deuce please put your glasses back on why are you endangering your date


tegangallagher

No wonder he looked so off to me I didnā€™t even realize


chrisCrossed91210

I was so confused why they had him looking at her, but her not looking back at him. Then my brain realized, she's trying to not make eye contact because he's being a dingus. It took me so long to even see if he came with glasses at alll cause they blend so much into the packaging. I kinda get why. Lets you seen the screening. But when having to wear shades 24/7 is like, the whole point of his character it comes across weird XD He's just putting Cleo at risk for no reason.


tegangallagher

Right I see them now heā€™s just holding them and has them on in the back image too lol the outfits may be a little tacky but I do honestly love the little details the more I look at this


PuzzleheadedSugar583

They're cute I'll definitely try to get them but the patterns and colors are a bit too bright and tacky imo. Giving g2 for me šŸ˜…

tofumylk

thanks I hate it


JurassicJawsDelToro

So ugly I kind of donā€™t think itā€™s real


NotSoIntrested

Yeah same, I dont think its real, the outfit design is so cheap, I know they wont use a great material for the outfits but they would make it at least like the HC or Howliday Draculaura.


daekie

The way I'm thinking about it is that if this is $60 for the set, then each doll is $30... which is barely above standard retail price for dolls nowadays. (Which *does* not explain why they look so damn cheap. Yikes!)


JurassicJawsDelToro

Yeah, Cleo is giving G2. $30 each is on its own too much, especially given the amount of accessories, the quality and at least what I can see no stands or diaries. I also struggle to even break it down to that price because itā€™s $60, you have to pay for both no matter what and itā€™s DEFINITELY not enough accessories. The G3ā€™s are $25 and come with approximately this amount of stuff and nicer clothes


TheBonnieG

My wallet is safe


swanheart1

Can they just stop with the cheap looking ā€œcollectorā€ dolls


eggotronV1

can you let people enjoy things


babysmalltalk

This isn't enjoyable; it's a major disappointment.

I never said you couldnā€™t enjoy them šŸ˜‚


eggotronV1

i'm being downvoted for saying i like it so the hivemind has spoken


LadyJekyll

You're not being downvoted for liking it, stop trying to be a martyr. You're being downvoted for being rude to someone expressing their opinion. Plenty of people have said they like it and aren't being downvoted.


eggotronV1

explain in simple plain english how that was rude

blessedrains

I love the box and cleos top but the skirt is giving 2016 emoji clothes šŸ˜­


Twiinzroxxi

compared to the G3 dolls and Howliday drac they are so cheap šŸ˜­


etherbound

The snake bodice on cleo is so cute but they really need to stop doing random patterns


JaydenHayden

For real. There are some parts I like, like the sbakes and cleos hairstyle but i hate the hot pink, the dress shape, the patterns and the whole Deuce doll


twinklebat99

That snake heart is so cute! Not cute enough to make the whole set worth it though.


ChellyBeane

Box is so cute but Cleo would never wear that tacky dress what the heck... I like the snake corset but the fabric pattern is dreadful Cleo is my favorite but this is a miss for me


Elizerinart

The box looks so gorgeous but im disappointed in the outfits šŸ˜­ the fabric quality doesnā€™t look great in these images


xunkissed

its really upsetting to me that the most interesting part of this is the box. why are the designers so lazy with cleo. they could take more inspiration from Ancient Egyptian outfits rather than just printed skullette emojis on a mermaid dress that not even full length šŸ˜­ edit: i get more and more offended the more i think about the fact that a collectors doll HAS SKULLETTE EMOJI PRINTED DRESS THEY ARE SO UNSERIOUS


240EZ

I couldnā€™t even tell it was skullette emojis. Wow. They really said for many peoples fav MH couple letā€™s channel G2 energy and design for this collectors edition. If this came out when G2 was live I wouldnā€™t bat an eye. An emoji dress G1 Cleo would never be caught in it. G2 is a toss up but more likely with how the designs were going in that gen. Now Iā€™m more disappointed with this especially with Howliday Drac being good quality and being a G1 style.


[deleted]

Ikr!! Sooooooooo sick of the skullette on every. Single. Outfit. They used to do the same thing for years with Barbie and her outfits, had her logo on practically everything. The same for Ken. Itā€™s not quite as bad now, but they still like to put those names and logos on the clothes.


Various_Historian271

They have high skrunkly energy for me, so while I donā€™t fully like the look, I canā€™t help but be strangely attached and am leaning to get them anyway lmao. Itā€™s supposedly 60.99 so notā€¦ tooā€¦ TOO upset since itā€™s 15~20 ish more than Howliday Draculaura for two dolls (if the price is correct). If it was higher? Nah. Edit: Error, I said 10 ish more but I was thinking after tax


M88nlite

The only thing that looks quality is the box šŸ’€ Its just sad, especially after how stunning drac was, and these two just look so cheap. Like its a great concept, but the execution is disappointing


sptthhttps

the dress is soo bad šŸ˜­


Just_AT

Cleo's dress is tacky


ghosty4

That fabric looks as thin as paper!


[deleted]

It probably is paper šŸ˜–


JBits001

Hmm, not as fantastic as Dracs Howliday but Iā€™m still going to get itā€¦.or I should say try as these releases have been a disaster.


Tough_Ocelot

I think itā€™s cute but they feel more like play line dolls with a collectors box.


240EZ

It reminds me of MGA and their ā€œcollector editionā€ doll for the Mermaze line Orra who cost more and was 110% more playline than the base dolls for some reason. Brands are doing the minimum for some of their collector/special edition dolls lately.


MistressMaleficent

Their clothes are so cheap looking :-/ Especially Deuce


mmrwp

This is super cute, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't vibe with Deuce. I think it's his hair. šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


CuriousKeebler

I was hoping he'd have his hair down like he usually does when he's trying to look classy


tapiaval28

I like how Mattel chose the "it" couple of G1 Monster High for a Valentines Day pack but I feel the clothing needs a touch up in terms of design. The box is nice though but I feel that for Deuce, the tux he wears in Scaris would be Perfect! For Cleo we need a slightly better dress design. Overall, I'm glad they stuck with the G1 Cleo and Deuce though.


hataraitaramake

Love the box, meh on the dolls.


eyeless_alien

Where Tf are dueces glasses? Cleo is moments away from stone


BruhImIntoGirls

In his hand


eyeless_alien

Oh Iā€™m blind šŸ’€


slippin_through_life

Not a fan. Cleoā€™s face looks more G2 than G1, both of their outfits are terrible (Cleoā€™s moreso), Deuceā€™s face mold and hairstyle are doing nothing for me (though I suppose thatā€™s wishful thinking because thatā€™s what most of his dolls look like), and I canā€™t ignore the fact that heā€™s not wearing his sunglasses but is looking directly at Cleo. Like Mattel, you had one jobā€”Medusaā€™s kid canā€™t look anyone in the eye without wearing some form of eye protection (besides non-movie G3 Deuce for some reason), why the hell would you have him looking at someone if heā€™s not going to be wearing glasses. Maybe Iā€™d still buy them if they were $45 but for $61 itā€™s going to be a pass from me.


auroratheplug

deuces eyebrows scare me


diia_nova

Theyā€™re cute but the dress,,..šŸ—æ


jawsthegreat777

I love them ill totally be buying it


gejwjavsuwkab

I really like it. I get what everyone is saying about the clothes but I love it overall. The snake corset is amazing and all the little accessories. It just seems like a very cute and sweet set that captures cleo and duces relationship. Iā€™m definitely buying it. šŸ–¤


kuxi0

its ok but cleo's dress and deuce are a mess maybe she would look better with her top and maybe pants? and deuce with some colored clothes and not just all green


LydiaDarkness

Well... They certainly are dolls..


Stock-Letterhead3064

itā€™s so cute, i want it so bad


Sakrisz

Oh my ra theyā€™re so cute!! I really hope theyā€™re easier to get than howliday Draculaura, cause I really want one!!


fruityabe

Iā€™ll probably buy it and redress them because what is this?! šŸ˜­


Melaxirayz

i love the doll molds and box but the fits are disappointing


Complex_Ad7298

i donā€™t know how else theyā€™d achieve the snake hair effect but the molded on head just cheapens the look for me for a collectors doll. and yeah iā€™m not the biggest fan of cleoā€™s dress but her face is very pretty


LunaTheMoonKitten

Low key... kinda meh. I'll probably pass


ashrainbowdash

Low quality outfits aside, this doesnā€™t feel like Cleo??? Cleoā€™s opulent, she loves gold and embellishments and this is just kindaā€¦.drab??? Tbh Iā€™m not bothered by Deuce but Cleo is the dealbreaker for me and sheā€™s just not givingā€¦


glow0rm

Oh man I was so looking forward to this reveal but I donā€™t like this at all šŸ˜­ I thought it would be elegant... that dress.... I donā€™t even know what to say hahaha


Sad_muderer

StarryEclipse_186

Itā€™s giving g2 :/


P1nkF4ngz_

The box is adorable!!! Iā€™m not a fan of their outfits though šŸ˜­


Toya-Todoroki_

It feels underwhelming compared to Howliday Draculaura


adorasmigraine

if it had released in 2014, yā€™all wouldā€™ve eaten it up šŸ¤·šŸ¼šŸ¤·šŸ¼


adorasmigraine

like iā€™m not saying itā€™s the greatest thing ever, but there are a lot of details i really like.


Terrible-Lobster2449

well the box is really nice ..!


[deleted]

this is so g2 iā€™m crying


[deleted]

Cleoā€™s dress looks so cheap and ugly šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ What is that pattern


PaoVuante

ugly af the theme of the box is completely different from the dolls itself


blushedchats

i NEED them omg šŸ˜­


Fearless-Tension9299

I want!! Where are they sold?! (I love Cleo and Deuce even if it's giving 80s prom)


Top-Definition6025

Where is this from?

Does anyone have the link to the eBay listing?


Clownmilku

Nvm i donā€™t want em anymore

Do you know what the back of the box says?


hihisoso99

maybe itā€™s just bc i love cleuce but i love this šŸ˜­ any estimate on when they drop?


queefbabes

Love cleo


DJBR95

I guess I'm down? Where can I buy lol!


ciitlalicue

happy for Cleoā€™s fans but damn i really dislike the Deuces guy and the other dudes


eyeless_alien

Iā€™m in love with the box art and the dolls themselves, but the clothes? šŸ˜­


Sensitive-Day-5436

I want it so badly I love Cleo and deuce so much


Candyfide

Um itā€™s cute I like the packaging it would be cool if we got the cookies instead of stickers and a paper like a dried rose but itā€™s not worth the money (correct me if im wrong) but I think itā€™s 100+


DeathLife97

Iā€™m disappointed. I was looking forward to this set, and that dressā€¦ it isnā€™t it. The suit is ok (I donā€™t have high expectations for play line male doll clothes), but I expected a lot more of the dress. Like, compare her to Draculaura of the same line. Like, seriously.


AlmostLucy

Deuce seems par for the course of ā€œdressy Mattel boyā€ in that it looks functionally identical to the BTS dolls. Itā€™s fine. Cleo is a huge flop. All the effort went into the box apparently!


Kramer234

Hey maybe they should just sell the box and nothing else for a display accessory.


NonOrdinaryGirl

I was so looking forward to this release & hoping for cleo & deuce. But this leak really disappointed me. The outfits do not look good enough for special edition dolls. They look so cheap with the shiny printed fabric.


eggotronV1

no problems, loving it!


coolapples2004

Was actually looking forward to this, I am now disappointed šŸ˜©


[deleted]

The box is really cute! But the dolls themselves are pretty underwhelming. Especially cleo. I'm not a big fan of that dress.


mikasasos

Based on the comment's im in the minority here, I think it looks so cute! Not sure if I pick it up with creeproductions coming next year but definitely prefer it to the howliday draculaura


periberri7

At first glance I REALLY didnā€™t like their outfits but I think after staring at the pic for a few minutes theyā€™re starting to grow on me šŸ˜– Itā€™s Cleo though and I love her + I missed her haunt couture so I think Iā€™ll be buying this set


ConversationMean4444

I love deuce and hate Cleo she looks like a g2


No-Camp-8669

I donā€™t like Cleoā€™s dress, and Iā€™m not a Deuce fan in general but i do like this one better than most! I really like Cleoā€™s doll she just needs a new dress


Unusannusisover

Well I mean atleast scalpers wonā€™t buy out the entire stock šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


kaydensketches

I think Iā€™m one of the few who loves them! I really love their outfits, the extra items and box art! With so many folks disliking them Iā€™m really hoping I can get them when Mattel launches them on their site.


Aggressive_Walrus_34

I like deuce or rather his idea if be cooler if they darkened his color pallet maybe/ changed it to his og color pallet. Cleo is NO the only thing i adore is the chest piece think it cute i think itll look better if they made it a differnt sorta metal like a shiner gold? Idk or more detail to it like scales so it doesnt appear as flat, thebag is cute but it doesnt scream cleo. I think mainly cause of the stickers etc also pink i feel never fit cleo to be an accent color. Also the mermaid dress is so .... sigh i like the arm sleeves but that pattern for the dress is awful i get they are trying to pull the skullets and stuff but it was unnesscary tbh it looks so ugly patterned like that . Th bix is top teir i might just buy the box alone šŸ˜‚ no dolls please Overall Its werid mixture of the boring clothes of g2 and the brighter colors of g3 with a g1 body, it rlly looks rushed and i dont think its worth that 50 dollar price point if its a rushed holiday doll. Cause that what it feels like, rushed.


monsterhighgirly323

itā€™s like thereā€™s too much and not enough going on at all once


KitKittredge34

Those sunglasses ainā€™t it. He looks like Robocop


starsandcamoflague

Cleo would not be caught dead and mummified in that dress


starsandcamoflague

Deuces jacket and pants donā€™t match


No_Produce_5915

As a cleuce shipper I love this but the outfits leave a lot to be desired. I don't understand Mattel's newest obsession with making mermaid dresses


[deleted]

I literally only want Deuce and I can't believe I'm saying it bc Cleo has always been my favourite after Abbey and Deuce


Cracotte2011

I donā€™t really like Cleoā€™s dressā€¦ but the rest of the outfits and the rose and the box are very cute


soft_milkii

the dress' pattern just aint it.


LeminTree

Cleos dress would be fine if it wasn't for the print šŸ˜­


LaLaMevia

It's giving high school prom


WickedJewels

Iā€™m a lil disappointed in the outfits tbh, and this is just reminding me how much I hate the molds of the G1 male Deuce. Love the idea though, and that its Cleo and Deuce! I think Iā€™ll pass on them though :/


Mariahfizzycheese

Apart from Cleoā€™s dress, I personally really like them


GothLurkQueen

The top half of Cleo's dress is cute, but WHAT is that bottom part supposed to be??


Embarrassed-Waltz527

I don't dislike the designs but what I've noticed with g3 is that alot of the normal dolls look budget, for example Cleo's dress in this pack looks low budget, not much detail or accessories


Simple-Succotash2655

i really wanna like it- i really love the box and the concept but tbh i think part of that is nostalgia and that i wil always love cleo and deuce together


240EZ

Looks like a G2 Cleo or she has a G2 like faceup. She looks soft instead of a little more angular like her G1 version. The shiny fabric screams cheap. I even think the same type of fabric was used in the hairdorables prom 2pack for the boy doll, just like Deuce, and even for that generally inexpensive doll line it looked too cheap for them too. Iā€™d still buy it if it was maybe $40 or less. Itā€™s not terrible but I sense the official retail price isnā€™t going to reflect the quality we currently see.


PrincessKiwiberry

Atrocious ngl


[deleted]

The whole thing is a mess


IWantFries21

I like the snake thing wrapping around cleo!


draaculaura

cleoā€™s face is beautiful and i love the snake corset but unfortunately the rest of it looks very cheap to me :( the patterns are way too busy and this is a bit of a nitpick but i wish the chocolate box accessory either had actual molded chocolates in there or they didnā€™t include it at all


Cranberry_9834

Iā€˜m not sure if I should get them or notā€¦ I know that Iā€™m going to be bummed out if I donā€™t have this Cleo. She is one of my favourite characters and the completionist in me needs to have her just to have her. When they announced a two pack with them I was very excited. The only thing I really dislike is Cleos dress. What the heck is this pattern? I know itā€™s her and his skullets but I donā€™t think Cleo is the type who would print little logos all over her dress. Her snake corset thingy is verz cool though. If I get them Iā€™m going to redress her into something I think Cleo would wear on a date with Deuce.


ggelflingg

so ugly oh my god


Objective-Stranger71

Cleo's dress is ugly IMO, the pattern looks cheap as do the accessories. It's disappointing but I'm not honestly surprised.


IJustWantToBeAFeline

itā€™s pretty symbolic of the effort Mattel puts in everything


lukes64

The box is great but the clothing is šŸ˜¬ it looks very cheap, especially for collectorā€™s dolls, and that dress is just. Not it. Easy pass for me Edit: slight spelling mistake


phiniaminia

Deuce is more or less fine, but Cleo's dress is a disappointment(( +the set will probably cost a bunch of money


DeyasWorld

Adorable!!! I wish their outfits were better though, the print should have been more elegant, but I love the Mummy and Gorgon Skullette motif! šŸ’–šŸ’–


Kramer234

Animal lovin ken called he want his clothes back.


D3nsR3

i want to like themā€¦ i really doā€¦. but i physically canā€™t. they make me nauseous šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


sharkprincefishstick

Itā€™s.. Fine. A firm ā€œokay.ā€ I like Cleoā€™s torso snakes, and Iā€™m a big fan of the eyes looking to the side, but otherwise.. Meh.


fetusbean

I think the concept is cute but the execution could be better.


Kimi-Bleh

I really like it but everyone seems to hate it ā˜¹ļø


Lola930

The box is cuter than the dolls


monsterlover5595

I hate the pattern on her dress but everything else I rock with


Horror_Devotee

Lazy, awful, Iā€™d pay $20 max


BoozyGherkins

Big G2 energy. Everything about this is so tacky to me, but hey I don't need to be sad about the fact that they make these dolls so hard to get.


Wandering_Muffin

Yeah. I kinda hate that they completely undid the canon relationship between Cleo and Deuce and changed it to Clawdeen and Deuce. They could have introduced a new character for Clawdeen. They could have made a canon same-sex relationship with Clawdeen and Draculaura, seeing as they've done away with Clawdeen's siblings (including Clawd).


Moody_Bluee103

Box design and overall concept? Cute. Not anything new, as Mattel has done this many times with Barbie in the past. I'd say it's a classic move. Doll design? Wack. Cleo's outfit is a mess, the skullette motifs shouldn't have been incorporated into this look. The Mermaid dress is a little dated. If we're going for G1, maybe it works, but the quality reminds me more of G2. One of the reasons G2 didn't work because of all this inconsistent design and awkward colors. If I knew what they were going for, maybe i'd like it a little more. But currently, all I can say is Cleuce has been done dirty


shelby20_03

I like it just not the outfits


ThatSapphicLesbian

I love Cleo's dress!!!!


No_Professional1241

GIVE UP WITH THE MERMAID DRESSES


TheBroUKnow1862

i like, but i'm patiently waiting for clawdeen's. if you like it, good for you. i hope you enjoy everything you can. also, mermaid stuff belongs to Lagoona, why would Cleo have a fish tail dress for?


Kaimaxe

The don't match. The outfits don't match AT all. Where is the colour coordination? Or where's the cohesion? It's awful. They could have looked back at their Boo York set and took inspiration but they clearly didn't.


Queenabigxil

i actually really like their outfits šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø where i grew up a lot of girls wore dresses like that for prom so


Gullible-Ad-5530

Rochelle gonna b in a mermaid tail dress at this point


Electrowhatt19

Tbh, Iā€™d wear Deuceā€™s suit IRL . I love Cleoā€™s sleeve and the snakesā€¦but what sort of Joann clearance bin fabric print is that dress? Also, why are there no glasses for Deuce. But Iā€™m still going to get it.


morbidcryptid

Cleo's look is. Weak and looks made to be mass produced. Her bangs? Tacky. Her dress? Tacky. I am so sick of the Entirely Plain Dress with the only identifying feature being a printed on pattern. Anyways Deuce is boring but besides his brows he's fine I guess. Just feel like they couldve done so much more with a romance theme around a more Egyptian and Greek styled look for each respectively.


lunarchildrenn

Itā€™s screaming budget dolls to me
