    It would’ve been so absolutely cool if the freaky fusion line combined characters to make other monsters. Just imagine the Cleo/Toralei doll being a sphinx or the Lagoona/Jenifire doll being a leviathan. Like. It’s feel like this idea is right there and yet…

      Ikr? I love the concept of Fusion, and I wish they did more with it. I think of how different character designs would interact with each other. What new powers would the characters get? Would the characters miss being fused? That concept would be so fun if it were done right

    If I could give some honest criticism to the G3 sleepover line, I'd say that they look a bit too "glam" and dramatic for a sleepover.
    In G1's Dead Tired, their makeup, outfits and hair was a lot more toned down and looked more like they were having a pajama party. In G3, it looks more like they're about to record a music video where the theme is 'sleepover'

    • @psychotophatcat
      @psychotophatcat Před 8 měsíci +34

      If they wanted to do a glam sleepover they should have leaned into it more. Either make them super snuggly and so comfy it's almost silly, or make them over the top glamorous like old Hollywood ladies in peignoirs at a vanity. Don't go halfsies.

    As someone who’s first mh doll was ghouls alive clawdeen, I can definitively see that it was made for kids as myself and the majority of friends and others i knew who owned the dolls were small children. I still have my clawdeen and yeah, as you can probably guess, she’s a mess. Her clothes are falling apart, she’s got no arms, her hair is mostly matted, she’s got sharpie drawings on her, and her mechanism died long ago. Nonetheless, I still love and appreciate her for opening my eyes to monster high and making me fall in love with it. Also I will not stand for freaky fusion slander 😤😤😤 (/lh)

Her hair is fine, we have all her limbs, clothes shoes and belt are all still good, and the only thing wrong with her is that the batteries are long dead.

    See my problem with Neon Frights is that ALL of my friends and I have quality control issues, and you can’t just look at the doll to tell that.

    Personally I think the worst of g1 really was the save Frankie dolls. They’re so forgettable most people don’t even remember them at all. I’ve seen people actually think they’re edits or like we’re unreleased levels of forgotten. But feariously they had these ugly outfits not in any of the media at all with strange signs and graphic t shirts plus just what felt like 3 random characters, 2 of which were already part of the actual fusion dolls which is really weird to see characters *technically* having 2 dolls within the same line. I’m pretty sure this is the only time that has happened in monster high history

    The issue with Neon Frights imo is the atrocious quality/QC. I was excited for them until they came in. I bought 2 of each initially as I collect in and out of box, I had just gotten paid, and I like to increase my chances of getting a good one first go around. Every single one had missing, blotched, or error paint (face and body), inconsistent screenings (makeup/eye placements), warped plastic accessories from packaging (think actual slashes in the cornerstone belt pieces from the plastic tie on the waist), horrendous hair (Fearidescent poly was not good but mostly felt soft and manageable out of packaging, but Neon Frights poly is scratchy and hidden bald spots/bad haircuts are common), and more. I returned and replaced that batch and had the same issue with the replacements, but I opened a few with less glaring problems. They also look underwhelming in person and are absolutely the weakest link in the Skulltimate line and a serious contender for weakest link overall right now. It manages to carry on the worst issues from previous Skulltimate series while also having even worse QC.

There was only one on the shelf left, and this lady who had like 7 other dolls in her cart took it before I could grab it. My mom tried to explain to her that I've always wanted that particular doll and this was the only time I could get it, but she straight up refused to let me have that one.

      considering what g3 has done with her color pallette it makes sense that they don't have red lipstick anymore. when she had green skin, the red was a contrasting color, making it really pop, but now that they're blue, if they had red lipstick it wouldn't hit the same way. frankie's color pallete now is primarily blue and pink, though sometimes it is altered depending on the line. red wouldn't suit their color pallete very well. i do like her original wine red lipstick, but it makes sense to ditch it with their new color pallete

    G3 - I was one of the people who voted for Neon Frights and I ended up voting for it mostly because there wasn't a doll in it I really liked or wanted. I quite frankly forgot about the fearleader dolls but I at least wouldn't have minded getting Deuce or Frankie? G3 doesn't have any particularly heinous doll lines to me but there are some individual dolls I think are completely unacceptable so it made it hard to decide.
    G2 - I voted for the Ballerina line. To me it felt so depersonalized for the characters and felt inexplicably barbie and not at all MH. Esp compared to the dance line in G1.
    G1 - I personally didn't like Nefera or Cleo's in execution. Catty's gala look is amazing and that's the only one I really enjoy. I remember the dolls having a ton of quality issues. I'm actually surprised folks agreed 😂 I thought I had a controversial opinion for the line.

    I think my biggest beef with freaky fusion is that the dolls really only look like the main character part of the fusion.

They chose some really interesting side characters and just wasted them like Clawdeen Venus fusion sounds SO COOL on paper.

    20:47 let me tell you, I’m a collector and even my Ghouls Alive Frankie is a little rough looking. If I were to pull her off my shelf right now the haIR OH GOD THE HAIR. Even though the hair style itself is super simple, it’s hard to maintain due to how they had to construct her head. I’ve spent many hours re-doing her hair, but it just never stays.

      ok good to know bc mine is still in-box and I was considering trying to take her out to change the batteries that died. I can't lie, I love the "gimmick" aspect of her and I want to be able to make her spark again ^.^ Since her hair is fine in the box, I might see if I can access her battery pack without removing her/her hair from the package backing and slide her back into the box. The battery is on the thigh for my (unboxed) Spectra so maybeeeee. My Spectra does have a cowlick in the back xD

    I meant to do the survey, because I felt like everyone was going to make decisions on 'what line do I find aesthetically unappealing' and not actually what is more objectively 'worse'. But wow you got so many responses!
    But, like, as far as a concept goes, I think Freaky Fusion is actually good. It's risky, it's inspired, it has a full story behind it that's reflected in the different sublines. People are way too hard on it just because aesthetics. I don't love the dolls personally outside Dracubecca, but, that's not going to be a reason for me to call it 'worst' Also people call things clashing all the time who seem to know nothing about color theory and complimentary colors, and that annoys me. Why can't things be a little fun and silly sometimes too?
    Compare this to the G2 emoji line - which in itself is a BAD CONCEPT, I hate all those marketers attempts to do emojis as a theme because they thought that's what children were into. And then on the other hand, Electrified seems way more inspired initially even if the executions are not to my personal tastes.
    Overall though I also feel like my feelings are not that strong because I can't be hard on something that's obviously designed with kids in mind. I think that's where Ghouls Alive falls, and I can't be mean about it (poor Clawdeen though). Especially budget lines here too. Like I dislike G2 overall because they seemed to have zero budget all the time, but if I think about it a little longer, I am actually indifferent. I have moved forward in my life. I have more negative feelings about some of the last G1 lines (like Great Scarier) because it felt like they were running out of momentum and I could see the line dying. And with G3 I just have little personal attachment to anything to have many negative feelings.

  • @Spamlum
    @Spamlum Před 8 měsíci +16

  • @michatc9525
    @michatc9525 Před 8 měsíci +3

    My personal worst line has to be the core G2 dolls. These are supposed to be the main dolls! The most exciting and the designs people remember when they think of that character! Not to mention the drastic expectation fall, and the marketing proudly showing "the amazing new faces!" that were worse and pretty much not liked by anyone.
    The funny thing about Ghouls Alive is how some are really rough looking, and then you have Robecca, who looks extremely cool with an exposed ribcage and glowing heart.

But I'm also among the small majority who enjoyed parts of Gen 2 anyway. I understand why not everyone likes Gen 2, but I found a few things about it that I liked. Gen 1 is still the best though.

      I usually love when characters have siblings. IDK, it's just a shtick that gets me to collect.

I think I liked Lagoona's younger siblings and I thought it was cute how Frankie build her sibling.

    tbh I like the wolf siblings specifically because werewolves having a big famiy just makes sense. Also I think they're all pretty cute. The electrified dolls though; like, I have Silvi and I would LOVE her if her hair didn't feel like touching a bathroom scrub pad. I think if they brought her back in G3 with the same crimped hair it would turn out much better given how soft the Skulltimate Secrets wave1 Clawdeen's hair is by comparison.
    Kala was one of my first MH dolls (after Skelita). As someone who missed G1 and G2 entirely I just saw a 4 armed purple squid mermaid and that's all I needed. She's still one of my favorites.

    i have complicated feelings about Skulltimate Secrets after the first one. i personally think they were almost onto something with Fearidescent, Frankie looks great and tbh i love the cooler palette that Lagoona has even more than her base g3 colors. but it feels like...like the fast fashion of doll lines, and even more so with the neon ones. i kinda wish they'd sell character clothes packs instead, 'cause i can't always justify buying a whole new doll, plus the entire locker?
    also, i haven't had anywhere to do for halloween in long time, so my costume has been Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service for years because its comfy and simple. Considering Fionna from Adventure Time this year though, i kept my old version of the costume and still fit in it!

I think its main let down is all the printed on details. It almost looks like they are wearing paper clothing. They are essentially a six pack of budget dolls with a little added flair here and there, Cleos shiney dress and mesh sleeves along with the fur on Clawdeens shirt. I like a lot of what was in the fearadescent line. I love the mainly monochrome colors and the boots!!! I am a big fan of that shiney material as it reminds me of dolls from my childhood....lol. Ha!
