    I think she deserves credit, but ultimately things turned out like that for the better! Garret had that vision of freaky scary turned chick that i LOVED about MH and lily's style was just not giving that. I was a huge myscene fan before mh tho so i still love and respect her craft

    Whether it be in the dolls, animation, videogames, creatives being at the whims of big corporate is often really harrowing. Lily is a saint for staying so strong through it all and I'm Hoping that her finally starting to speak up about everything is healing for her in some way.
    Also the far-right one of Lily's prototypes looks a bit like a scene kid Drac and I'm really here for it. I have a lot of love and nostalgia for the scene aesthetic, and while I love the designs we got in the end I think having a bit of scene kid flair would've been fun to mix into the lineup lol. We've already got some dated fashion in MH, why not add throw this in the mix too?

    Welp, at the end of the day, the toy industry is massive and worth billions, so it has to operate like a business and business can be cut-throat! That being said, the humans that pour their ideas and creativity into generating this corporate wealth, need to get the proper respect and recognition that is well deserved. Glad Lily is able to tell her side of the story and be recognised and respected by the fans and collectors! 💛

    @americantoycoon9206 Před rokem +4

    I was working alongside these two groups at exactly the time when MH was hatched. I can attest to the fact that there are many, many people involved in the development of these toy lines. We (designers) pump out tons of ideas, brainstorm concepts (even with other groups), make a million sketches and experiment a lot to even get to the point of showing our managers and get an opportunity to get the models in front of focus tests with kids. If you get a bad qualitative (the aesthetic value of the idea or concept) test, your concept could die on the vine. They also measure the quantitative (how much is it worth) value of a concept and to what age group the idea appeals to. This is where MH spent a lot of time exploring. The entire object of MH was to create a product that would appeal to older girls 10-12 who already phasing out of toys. MH nailed that in spades. Ironically, once they captured that group (and teens, adults and even boys), five years later, they didn't know what to do with it, changed the aesthetic to look much younger and try to appeal to younger girls.

  • @jankk
    @jankk Před rokem +9

    I have a really hard time seeing her as the “designer” or “inventor” of Monster High simply because she designed the original, completely non monstrous sculpts. Don’t get me wrong, her dolls are really cute, and I’d totally buy them as edgy but NORMAL LOOKING fashion dolls! But there’s nothing spooky or scary about them in the least- and I don’t believe that monster high would have been any less successful on a different sculpt. Monster High was successful because girls like spooky/creepy stuff, and it’s an underserved market.

    Heyo! Sharing a bit of my experience here, I am a creative working at a toy company (a small one) and I have to say that its not easy to be an artist there, I often feel more like a laborer. Yes, it is a group project to design dolls. At the end of the day its hard to point fingers to who created what, because there are so many hands in the product before it is done. I have also lived through the focus tests with girls and its sometimes frustrating how the decisions this girls make are more important than the creative minds behind the designs. (Its not fun to have the design you think its worse being the one it ends up sticking because four year olds like "stars" and "pink" lol) Also a lot of the decisions are made by marketing teams, and people that are not artists nor do they understand how colors work. ( I am so tired of the " you should add more pink" just because girls like pink)
    So If I feel it is bad in a small company, I can't imagine how it would be in a big one.

      I wonder, have you tried telling them off? Like saying that they don’t actually know what they’re talking about and that just because a few girls don’t like it doesn’t mean anything? I feel like toy companies often put profits and marketing over creative. I think they’re being very stupid, because most times the creatives won over, the doll lines became iconic and recognizable, instead of the usual boring pink and pretty doll.
