I can't tell how happy I am to see these ghouls back on store shelves. I was 8 years old when they came out 12 years ago and was unable to get them let alone collect them, and I was always jealous of kids who did have them even if it was a random doll from a random line. But now, as a 20 year old, I can live out what kid me wanted for so long. MH means so much to me, and I genuinely don't think I would be the person I am today without it. Whether that's fashion even down to small things like the way I see and treat people. And I'm happy a new generation gets to experience what I did a little over a decade ago.
I was able to get Monster High dolls back then got a pretty nice collection but i was never able to get some things that i always wanted so the other day i bought Ghoulia's scooter off of fb.
I remember being like 8 years old watching you, kittiesmama, wookiewarriors, and a ton more amazing toy channels and being so happy every time a monster high doll hunt/unboxing video was posted 😭😭 We were pretty poor when I was growing up and only had enough for necessities never a doll collection so I got to experience that through you guys 💗 I work now and have adult money so with this new release I was able to go doll hunting for the very first time and is allowing me to heal my inner child!! ☺️
GIRL OMG SAMEEE. Well I’m not an adult yet but if really hurt not being able to get all these dolls but I’m old enough to work now and get an allowance so I CANNOTA WAIT to buy all these dolls :D
Ten years?! No way! I remember staring at Frankie on the shelves for ages. Having only owned princess dolls as a kid, I just couldn't rip my eyes off these. Monster High really set the bar for dolls being anything you wanted them to be. Conceptual to the next level! It opened the gate for the slew of dolls that came after these, like Ever After High, and now Rainbow High. Gorgeous and fun as ever. What awesome nostalgia. Happy 10 years!
I want to add that Monsterhigh is one of the few things that brought up discrimination. It was also complex as monsters would avoid being around humans because of the discrimination. The whole reason Monsterhigh exists, to begin with. While not explicitly stated Jackson Jekyll gets bulled for being able to pass as a Human or "normie". While it might not be a representation of how those with disabilities treat each other it does get the feeling across of not being disabled enough to count for those who pass. I always felt left out cause I was too disabled for the neurotypical crowd yet not disabled enough to make friends with the disabled community. Hell Jackson Jekyll can be an allegory for codeswitching where you change how you talk based on who you're around. He struggles because he is so used to passing as a normie that for a little while it was hard for him to codeswitch at the right time. That's just my take on it.
❤️❤️❤️. This is such a great comment. There are so many people out there who feel like you. I hadn’t thought of Jackson like this until I read this. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
I won’t lie, I got a bit teary-eyed. I always wanted Monster High dolls, but I was at that age that I was getting “too old for dolls.” I remember feeling such awe seeing the commercials. I finally got a second-hand OG Draculaura in 2020, and I was over the roof ecstatic. But now, seeing the dolls on shelves again… gosh time has gone by so fast. But some things always remain the same. My love for these dolls has always remained the same. And now here I am, nearly 22 and able to buy all the dolls I want. Watching the web series whenever I feel sad. Relating to characters that have actual flaws, but those flaws being what make them so unique and cool. It’s such a freeing experience.
I also like to point out that Monster High broke grounds in having many characters representing different disabilities in a positive light. As someone who was bullied growing up for my severe neurological conditions including one that affect my speech me and mom got emotional when the brand came out esp with Ghoulia. If you look up different conditions and then the MH characters, you'll find that a lot of them are more then likely meant to represent different one. I remember finding the wave one Ghoulia doll and telling mom "Mom look there finally a character like me in doll form." Monster High finally made me feel normal in a world that treated me like trash for conditions I had no control being born with. Today finding two of the reproduction dolls I had to cover my mouth cause I was freaking out. My mom had to explain to the workers about Monster High and what it means for disabled people like me and they got goosebumps and understood my reaction to the dolls. I was a teen back when Monster High first release, now I am 24 and will turn 25 in August. I hope to find the two I missing now (Clawdeen and Draculaura).
I am honestly tearing up reading this. My niece has problems communicating verbally and people mistake that for not having thoughts or feelings. Ghoulia is my favorite character because she was disabled and had friends. Her best friend, Cleo, was the coolest ghoul in school. I’m so glad you had that moment of joy in the store. And Ghoulia will be getting a release later this year from what I’ve been told. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for this comment. You made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm 17 and I remember being such a bug fan of monster high, I need to go hunt for the monster high dolls because I want to relive my childhood days....my old monster high dolls are not in the best shape(secretly hating myself for messing them up)😬 I can't wait to see the movie with my niece because she's 8 and i think she will love the movie!!
honestly I regret that we never did the buy two of every doll thing. So we would have had one out of box and one in box. It just didn't seem like a good financial thing to do at the time, but now when I see collectors who have all the dolls still in box I get jealous. Then I look at our raggedly dolls that have been played with and re-dressed and I love them
@@MyWorldMelissa yeah, my Wal-Marts don't have monster high dolls yet which is sad because I really wanna get some so I'm going to keep looking everyday 😁
Ive been checking up on youtubers i watched when i was younger (less than 6 years ago dont worry lmao) and it suprised me how much i still enjoy your content, and how kaiden and i turned out to be both autistic and trans (which is probably why i related to him so much). Its good to know all my favourite youtubers weren't problematic
Well FIRST OF ALL im proud of you!! Getting up and showering is harder than people think with chronic ilnesses and i speak from experience. SECONDLY as someone that has been with you for these 10 years, its so surreal seeing this!!! My inner child is so so happy seeing these ghouls come back. Its incredible that new generations get to experience what we all used to back in the day. Doll hunting monster high was SUCH a fun hobby. I miss buying 5-6 dolls in one go though, prices were so different then LOL
I didn't realize you were living with MS! New fan here (found you via rainbow high reviews!) FYI I work for an excellent nonprofit called Help Hope Live that helps people with MS and other chronic diagnoses to fundraise for medical costs. Please check them out in case we can help anyone you encounter in the MS community or elsewhere. Can't wait to see your RH S4 reviews when they finally arrive!!!
I miss Ghoula and Cleo. Being Arab, I loved Cleo and Ghoula had glasses, like me. So what that I was a grown woman that only had boys that didn't like dolls, I wanted them.
I never had any of the original wave 1 dolls because "dolls aren't for boys". But with the creeproductions I can fulfill that fantasy. Hopefully the make EAH reproductions.
AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse my screeching but They are back and ur ghoul friend was waiting for this moment all day!! It’s monsterly uhh amazing and fangtastic to see u do this again!! Ahhhhh I’m 10 years older yup…. 🥲 good times
Honestly, it would be hard to say I'm not emotional watching this! I remember how I found you and your son in an extremely hard time in my life and you two were a form of escapism! From the reviews, to the yearly challenge you guys would do guessing dolls blindfolded, and even the little challenges were all little worlds I would live in and to say I adored it would be an understatement. To see you still here with us all these years later, once again, unboxing Monster High dolls, it feels full circle. thank you :>
Thank you! It does feel like a bit of a full circle moment. So much has happened in our lives as a family in the last decade and having youtube as a constant has been really, really good for my mental health. I go into our little studio and escape from life for a bit. Monster High represents such a beautiful expression of humanity...I know that sounds strange. But the idea behind the dolls and what they were able to represent because they dolls weren't technically human was ground breaking . And I think so many kids who were not "normies" were able to see themselves in the dolls and the characters. That is so important.
I’m so proud of you for being able to make your video today after having a hard week! I’m absolutely loving this channel, I used to watch it when I was younger and loved it so much and watching y’all doll hunt and review dolls. And here I am back as an adult absolutely loving watching these videos again and trying to get back into the doll community especially monster high!
I remember my first sight of Monster High. I was intrigued by the concept, but put off by the giant noggin/skinny body proportions. This was probably the first line to make dolls I didn't want but furniture, etc, that I definitely wanted.
It’s so crazy thinking it’s going to be 10 years. I grew up watching you go doll hunting. I would tell my mom how cool you were going out with your son and doll hunt. We would go together to hunt for Monster high just like you while watching your videos in the car. It’s such a full circle moment being able to take my 3 year old sister hunting for her own monster high. Thank you for all the great videos and memories ❤️
This brings back so many memories. I remember that it was your channel and myfroggystuff's channel that got me into collecting dolls! I wanted the original Draculaura so much, and my best friend got me the "Monster Exchange" one cause it was so hard to find the dolls in my country. Watching your videos with Kaiden were always the highlight of my day. It's so hard to not to tear up, remembering that this doll line is over 12 years now! Praying Mattel gives us Ever After High back too. WELCOME BACK, GHOULS!
I was 13 when these launched and I immediately fell in love and collected them until the Freaky Fusion movie. I was so sad thay they got rebooted eventually since it didn't feel the same anymore. So glad they're back and I can enjoy them again in my mid 20s
I really hope we get a Cleo haunt couture or reproduction doll soon. Also if Mattel decides to do a reproduction of some of the popular lines, like what bratz is currently doing, I hope the reproduce gloom and bloom because it’s been a struggle to find a Cleo from that line.
You are the most entertaining doll collector I've watched. I can relate to you a lot. I am a grown woman with 4 children and have just recently came out about the fact I actually wanted to collect dolls again, as an adult. You make me feel like it should be bragged about and not something to be embarrassed about. You are also funny as well, which makes it much better. Keep it up! :) After watching your videos, I bought so many Rainbow High dolls and also got into Monster HIgh! Omg... it is sooooo addicting! It makes me happy and is great therapy when you are having a rough day.
I don’t really know what to say except YES!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! I’m a teenage girl, but I’m lucky enough to have parents that don’t believe in throwing away my interests because I’m “too old” for them (probably bc my dad has tons of GI joes in the boxes displayed in his closet lmao) dolls are just incredible, and they’re just magical both for the art of them and how it unifies all sorts of people. I hope that when I’m older I’m able to be collecting like you :) I’m gonna be real I just really love dolls and all the incredible ways you can transform and change them. Seeing your comment made me really excited for the future, and I’m really happy that your at a place where you can collect without shame!
I didn't start collecting dolls until 2019 as an adult. I got my first Monster High doll in July 2020 at the flea market. I'm so excited to collect the original dolls brand new. I was able to get Lagoona on walmarts website Friday morning but everyone else was sold out. I found them up for preorder later that day and preordered them. I'm curious to see if my walmart has them but I also wanted to ensure I actually got them all.
Yes, our ghouls are back! I desperately want Lagoona for some reason. I always loved her original doll. I know I have one SOMEWHERE in storage (along with 50+ others) but I really want a new one. My original was secondhand, since I got into collecting them just before the reboot and so I missed my chance for most of the original run.
The original dolls came out when I was 19, I've always loved monsters so I considered collecting them so many times but I could never afford them and it's been my biggest regret since getting into dolls. Like a lot of people I imagine I started collecting dolls over quarantine and that's also when the original dolls kind of shot up in price. I'm so excited to be able to finally own these dolls it's unreal, I bought Haunt Couture when they came out but they were kind of my first Monster High dolls and it'll be nice to have some I can actually unbox 💖
I am proud to say I was here 10 years ago seeing that video when I was only 6 years old made me so happy. Thank you for growing up with me and always accepting everyone
Monster high was my life as a kid, and I always regretted how I only managed the keep a couple of my dolls. As I was neurodivergent (had trouble with socialization and understanding others, as well as obsessing over very select interests) monster high gave me something that let me connect to others and understand them. The series just means so much to me. I’m over the moon to see them come back, and I’m super happy that you’re coming the ghouls, bc something about your channel just makes me feel so safe. Much love!
not even through the video yet- but this is already bringing back SOOOO many memories from when i was buying my dolls and tuning in to you and Kaiden (not sure how to spell his name!) doll hunting. it’s so crazy how much time has passed
I’m so happy to see your excitement for the comeback and the nostalgia is so very special for me especially right now. I just lost my little fur baby Jet 2 days before I found the ghouls in store, I went looking for them to try and distract myself and remember the excitement of looking for them. I brought her (and her sister) home from the shelter right as monster high originally launched and just remember how special these little girls were to me and how special these dolls were always makes me feel so happy, then discovering your channel and the transitions from then on with Kayden and with your own channel, then into your channel talking about mental health which has helped tremendously, I hope you know what a light and joy you are for your followers. Just thank you, for your videos, your joy, your passion. You’re a very special human.
Thank you for reminding me why I fell in love with these dolls in the first place. I’m 18 years old, graduating high school next week, and monster high was a huge part of my childhood. It’s so exciting having this creeproduction right when my childhood is ending 🥺 and I’m transferring into adulthood. I forgot how exciting it was to have dolls that came with a story to discover and explore, as well as character traits that I would use when playing with them, such as making a scenario where they had to face their fears. Monster high was my first introduction to fashion dolls; I remember begging my mom to get me “the Frankie one that comes with her pet” as a child I didn’t understand why there were so many 😂 I thought, “well I have the doll, why do I have to get a whole other one just for the outfit?”
i started watching you when i was 4 (or 3, either way i was SUPER young!!) your videos always brought me joy and they made me grow my love for monster high. I cant believe its been 9 - 10 years.. Im so glad to see the dolls back!! I cant wait to see them back in my country
You have no idea the joy the dolls coming back has brought me! I started collecting when I was 9. and not too much longer later I found your channel back then too, I see you've under gone some channel changes but im happy your still here bc this made my world complete no pun intended. Hope your kid is doing well!
I love this so much. I remember being in 5th grade watching you guys review dolls and I loved it so much. Now I'm a senior in highschool and I'm about to graduate. Your just such a cool person, I can't express it. So awesome
I remember being 7 and watching you and your son unbox these dolls. I was always jealous and wanted to be your guy's friend so much it's kinda funny and now watching just makes me feel happy has it reminds me of how much you guys let me feel like it was okay to be alone and different from others in my school so thank you for that
I thought this channel was gone! I almost shed a tear when I saw you back on my recommendation. One of my OG favourite CZcamsr since 2015. I'm so happy they're bringing it back! I just hope they didn't remove Lagoona's big fishy eyes...That's what she is after all
When I was little I literally breathed Monster High. I had the curtains, bed sheets, towels, pillow, pajamas, costumes, a birthday cake, backpack, several dolls and more. I regret giving the ones I had away because now that I want to collect them again they are so hard to find. or crazy expensive. Monster High was honestly a huge highlight of my childhood
oh gosh, you singing the crudest version of your old intro song took me BACK !!! can't believe it's been so long, but I'm so happy to have had the privilege of growing up along side kaiden, and to still be here watching you after all this time!!
It’s crazy I’ve been watching you for the past 10 years and seeing how much your channel has changed it’s grown so much and I can’t believe I’ve been here this long and I love your videos and I hope everything is going good with you guys and makes me wanna cry because I was 19 when I started watching you guys
@@MyWorldMelissa I still have one of my original dolls I just wanna get one of the new ones so I could have both and oh my God I’m so happy for you guys for coming from such a long way and thank you for making my day for answering my comment 💜
i remember being really excited about lagoona because she was australian and i’m australian and i was so happy to have a australian doll that wasn’t the but of any jokes. this is why representation beyond skin tone matters so many little girls in australia had Lagoona as their fav
I'm second! That's never happened before. I'm kinda excited! Plus I've never owned a Monster High doll before. I'm getting excited. I don't know which one to get first....hmmm let's see how they look.......👀💀☠️🧛🏻♂️🧟♀️
I was young, but I had one monster high doll, and that was Draculaura. She was pink and black and I did chores around the house so I could get her and my mom hated her because she was “scary” and “girls should play with cute barbies not creepy things”… but I liked how they were different! Just like me. I came out as non binary last year and now I’m finally allowing myself to have and enjoy things that were different or maybe I was told I couldn’t like. Thank you for also bringing me down memory lane and reviewing these dolls again! I used to watch ur channel all the time. Love it :)
9 years ago I found this channel while trying to show my mum what I wanted for my birthday. I have so many fond memories of this channel and monster high
i just started collecting dolls this year and i’m so exciting that monster high is making a comeback! i was around 6 years old when monster high came out, so i never got the original dolls but i always really wanted them! monster high really helped me a lot when i was younger and it’s so cool that now i’ll be able to collect the dolls i never got to. fingers crossed they sell them internationally since walmart doesn’t ship to australia 🤞
I'm so incredibly happy that the ghouls are back, and you opening up a monster high doll brings back so many memories of summer afternoons watching you and Kaden unbox and review these dolls with my sister back in the day! I hope these dolls get released outside of the USA, we were really sad when they said these would only be available at walmart in the US, cause me and my sister were really looking forward for this re-release, as we never got the chance to get the original ghouls :(
I LOVE LOVE LOVE monster high because it Nostalgic and it so diverse with dolls like jinafire and skelita representing different cultures and fashions.There also just so cool and original because no other doll line were monster that were glamorous and just soooo cool.Also there message freaky just got fabulous really inspired me because I’m queer and I grew up in a homophobic home and there message made me realize that being queer wasn’t a bad thing and made me embrace myself. so I’m so happy that these dolls are back and I spring other kids to realize that there quote on quite flaws are not bad and I’m so proud of Mattel for doing this!
MELISSA!!!! If you have the store apps set for your local stores, you can check to see what your local stores have in-store before you even leave the house. May 31 is the date set for my local Walmart.
so i was a kid when the original dolls dropped. i was lucky to keep my childhood monster high dolls, but they are in no collector condition lol. also my family wasn’t the most well off family, so we couldn’t get many. still very thankful my parents got me a few
I feel so much nostalgia right now! I never got to own many monster high dolls when they were first released so the reproduction has made me so happy. I got the Draculara and Lagoona doll today! I'm so happy you still continue to make videos, I thought of you when I was buying them and had to come revisit your channel. Thank you for all you do, you are amazing.
Hi, this is just for you. Please keep going and continue making videos❤. You have no clue how happy and joyful your videos Make me . Thank you ❤ Also finally I'll be able to have my first monster high dolls everrrr
"You may have to become a dollhunter!" OMG...I'm mid twenties now (👁👁) and have been watching your videos since I was a young teenager. This made me so very happy. I hope I can find some of these myself! Thank you for being such a happy part of my teen years and today.
I'm glad you are feeling better. I can't tell you how excited I am to hunt for these dolls, since I missed out on them back in 2010. Your excitement is giving me the energy push to go out and get them so I can enjoy in the masterpiece that is Monster High.
This just brings back so much nostalgia!!!! You were the first and best youtuber I ever watched for doll reviews in the past, super happy i found you again!! :DDDDD
It's so funny. I wasn't sure if anyone wanted to see me talk about a doll I had already talked about 10 years ago. But it was so fun to do and I'm so happy that people like you are enjoying it!!
So glad these are back, my daughter got into Monster High when she was really young like 2ish and wanted the dolls but we held off because of the removable parts and we regretted it majorly she has a handful of Monster High dolls mostly of the reboots so we ordered 3/4 (by the time I saw the other 3 Lagoona was sold out) 🤞 that the Cleo rumor is true because she is a household favorite
Okay ill admit it as a life long doll collector when I first saw these dolls oh so many years ago I made any excuse I could to buy them all for my. 4 year old haha still love them
My stores still haven't gotten them yet. Very jealous of everyone finding them. Hopefully they show up for me soon. My Walmarts take forever to get stuff in
AHHH OMG I got Frankie and Lagoona two days ago and I'm planning on getting Dracula and Clawdeen soon IM SOOO happy there back on shelves and I can't wait to see what else they bring back 😍 and I'm soooo excited to see what the new generation thinks of them I CANT BELIEVE Frankie and Lagoona are standing next to my LOL OMG dolls
i can’t believe 10 years!! i have been watching you since i was a kid🤍🖤 and i love monster high, i’m going to walmart this weekend to see if they have any left because i didn’t know this drop already happened. i’m hoping they have some left!
I have been watching you since I was just a little girl. I was about ten I think! I loved seeing all your monster high videos. I’m in university now and watch your videos when I have a chance to breathe between all my studio classes. Thank you for ten years of wonderful content.
I remember years ago going into Toys R Us and seeing all the Monster High dolls and Playsets. I miss the Big Toys R Us stores. Is there going to be any playsets coming out?
I love your videos. You are such an inspiration. Knowing that I'm not alone and also not the oldest one out there collecting dolls cuz I'm 51 I just want to say thank you so much plus I have Parkinson's disease so I have a hard time everyday also.
I’ve been watching your channel from the start and been a mh collector since the start too and watching this video I’m nearly in tears at the nostalgia watching you again with the new Ghouls really reliving my childhood again💗
it makes my heart warm when you are super supportive of your son being trans. i am non-binary & neither of my parents really understand & i kind of pretend i’m not even though i’m out because nobody really understands. so the fact that you’re so respectful & understanding. i know it’s the bare minimum but i live in texas & it’s not very common that you see that.
Wow I want to sit down and appreciate how Marissa actually sat down and read though the comments. A lot of creators don’t do this to react to other people in the world 🌎. Lots of bravery . ❤️💕❤️
My first ever MH dolls were original Frankie and Lagoona. Unfortunately, I had to throw away my Frankie because there was just no way to restore her, and Lagoona is a little destroyed but she's at least with me still holding up. Seeing the reproductions has made me so emotional, and i feel like i'm 8 years old again. I really want to get them but getting them in Spain is already a really hard thing because they're sooooo much more expensive for some reason. Hopefully they'll get here in stores soon and they wont be as expensive!!!!
I couldn't afford them way back when but hopefully can get these for my collection. I absolutely loved them and I even remember showing my mom one night in stores and I wanted them but my mom couldn't afford them. My dad wouldn't buy me dolls cuz he thought at age 20+ it was another of my phases well now he has been proven wrong 12 years later lol 🤣
I cannot believe it has been 10 years! I remember being 12 years old and embarrassed of my monster high collection because I was “too old” for it! I’m 22 now and I’m still in love with monster high and I don’t care what anyone thinks!!
They were also on the Mattel website! But people in certain countries could have brought them I didn’t even know they were available in the uk on the Mattel website but I was only able to get Frankie & lagoon since Draculaura was sold out I’m so glad that frankie and lagoon were still available
GHOULIA!!! And I secretly want them to re-release Skull Shores Ghoulia because there were never enough, LOL!!!! It would legit be so funny if they did!
My childhood has risen from the dead *wink wink* I also remember watching you guys when I was 3 or 4 look at me now in 13 and still watch you. I do miss the Mommy and Gracie show, but we all grow up, and I grew up with you guys. I don't think I could ever be happier to see my childhood coming back. It's weaken all of us Manster's and Ghouls from the dead.
i went walmart-hopping today looking for the gals! i only visited 2 since i was using uber (expensive uuuuuuu) but i did find lagoona and frankie! im so happyyyy
I can't tell how happy I am to see these ghouls back on store shelves. I was 8 years old when they came out 12 years ago and was unable to get them let alone collect them, and I was always jealous of kids who did have them even if it was a random doll from a random line. But now, as a 20 year old, I can live out what kid me wanted for so long. MH means so much to me, and I genuinely don't think I would be the person I am today without it. Whether that's fashion even down to small things like the way I see and treat people. And I'm happy a new generation gets to experience what I did a little over a decade ago.
❤️❤️❤️. This makes my heart so happy and I’m tearing up a little bit. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MyWorldMelissa Not going to lie, you and Kaden were also a part of that too ❤
I was 5 and now I'm 17 and I'm ready to get back into monster high because that was my childhood🖤💀
I was able to get Monster High dolls back then got a pretty nice collection but i was never able to get some things that i always wanted so the other day i bought Ghoulia's scooter off of fb.
I remember being like 8 years old watching you, kittiesmama, wookiewarriors, and a ton more amazing toy channels and being so happy every time a monster high doll hunt/unboxing video was posted 😭😭 We were pretty poor when I was growing up and only had enough for necessities never a doll collection so I got to experience that through you guys 💗 I work now and have adult money so with this new release I was able to go doll hunting for the very first time and is allowing me to heal my inner child!! ☺️
GIRL OMG SAMEEE. Well I’m not an adult yet but if really hurt not being able to get all these dolls but I’m old enough to work now and get an allowance so I CANNOTA WAIT to buy all these dolls :D
Ten years?! No way! I remember staring at Frankie on the shelves for ages. Having only owned princess dolls as a kid, I just couldn't rip my eyes off these. Monster High really set the bar for dolls being anything you wanted them to be. Conceptual to the next level!

I want to add that Monsterhigh is one of the few things that brought up discrimination. It was also complex as monsters would avoid being around humans because of the discrimination. The whole reason Monsterhigh exists, to begin with. While not explicitly stated Jackson Jekyll gets bulled for being able to pass as a Human or "normie".

I always felt left out cause I was too disabled for the neurotypical crowd yet not disabled enough to make friends with the disabled community. Hell Jackson Jekyll can be an allegory for codeswitching where you change how you talk based on who you're around. He struggles because he is so used to passing as a normie that for a little while it was hard for him to codeswitch at the right time. That's just my take on it.
❤️❤️❤️. This is such a great comment. There are so many people out there who feel like you. I hadn’t thought of Jackson like this until I read this. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
I won’t lie, I got a bit teary-eyed. I always wanted Monster High dolls, but I was at that age that I was getting “too old for dolls.” I remember feeling such awe seeing the commercials. I finally got a second-hand OG Draculaura in 2020, and I was over the roof ecstatic. But now, seeing the dolls on shelves again… gosh time has gone by so fast. But some things always remain the same. My love for these dolls has always remained the same. And now here I am, nearly 22 and able to buy all the dolls I want. Watching the web series whenever I feel sad. Relating to characters that have actual flaws, but those flaws being what make them so unique and cool. It’s such a freeing experience.
I also like to point out that Monster High broke grounds in having many characters representing different disabilities in a positive light. As someone who was bullied growing up for my severe neurological conditions including one that affect my speech me and mom got emotional when the brand came out esp with Ghoulia. If you look up different conditions and then the MH characters, you'll find that a lot of them are more then likely meant to represent different one. I remember finding the wave one Ghoulia doll and telling mom "Mom look there finally a character like me in doll form." Monster High finally made me feel normal in a world that treated me like trash for conditions I had no control being born with. Today finding two of the reproduction dolls I had to cover my mouth cause I was freaking out. My mom had to explain to the workers about Monster High and what it means for disabled people like me and they got goosebumps and understood my reaction to the dolls. I was a teen back when Monster High first release, now I am 24 and will turn 25 in August. I hope to find the two I missing now (Clawdeen and Draculaura).
I am honestly tearing up reading this. My niece has problems communicating verbally and people mistake that for not having thoughts or feelings. Ghoulia is my favorite character because she was disabled and had friends. Her best friend, Cleo, was the coolest ghoul in school. I’m so glad you had that moment of joy in the store. And Ghoulia will be getting a release later this year from what I’ve been told. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for this comment. You made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MyWorldMelissa No problem. I was born with severe apraxia and disapraxia. *hugs*
I'm 17 and I remember being such a bug fan of monster high, I need to go hunt for the monster high dolls because I want to relive my childhood days....my old monster high dolls are not in the best shape(secretly hating myself for messing them up)😬 I can't wait to see the movie with my niece because she's 8 and i think she will love the movie!!
honestly I regret that we never did the buy two of every doll thing. So we would have had one out of box and one in box. It just didn't seem like a good financial thing to do at the time, but now when I see collectors who have all the dolls still in box I get jealous. Then I look at our raggedly dolls that have been played with and re-dressed and I love them
@@MyWorldMelissa yeah, my Wal-Marts don't have monster high dolls yet which is sad because I really wanna get some so I'm going to keep looking everyday 😁
Ive been checking up on youtubers i watched when i was younger (less than 6 years ago dont worry lmao) and it suprised me how much i still enjoy your content, and how kaiden and i turned out to be both autistic and trans (which is probably why i related to him so much). Its good to know all my favourite youtubers weren't problematic
Well FIRST OF ALL im proud of you!! Getting up and showering is harder than people think with chronic ilnesses and i speak from experience.
SECONDLY as someone that has been with you for these 10 years, its so surreal seeing this!!! My inner child is so so happy seeing these ghouls come back. Its incredible that new generations get to experience what we all used to back in the day. Doll hunting monster high was SUCH a fun hobby. I miss buying 5-6 dolls in one go though, prices were so different then LOL
I didn't realize you were living with MS! New fan here (found you via rainbow high reviews!) FYI I work for an excellent nonprofit called Help Hope Live that helps people with MS and other chronic diagnoses to fundraise for medical costs. Please check them out in case we can help anyone you encounter in the MS community or elsewhere. Can't wait to see your RH S4 reviews when they finally arrive!!!
I miss Ghoula and Cleo. Being Arab, I loved Cleo and Ghoula had glasses, like me. So what that I was a grown woman that only had boys that didn't like dolls, I wanted them.
Every time I snip a kajinker, I think of you. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never had any of the original wave 1 dolls because "dolls aren't for boys". But with the creeproductions I can fulfill that fantasy. Hopefully the make EAH reproductions.
Also, would like to see a new crossover once EAH gets renewed. Not a novel this time, an ACTUAL movie.
AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse my screeching but They are back and ur ghoul friend was waiting for this moment all day!! It’s monsterly uhh amazing and fangtastic to see u do this again!! Ahhhhh I’m 10 years older yup…. 🥲 good times
Honestly, it would be hard to say I'm not emotional watching this! I remember how I found you and your son in an extremely hard time in my life and you two were a form of escapism! From the reviews, to the yearly challenge you guys would do guessing dolls blindfolded, and even the little challenges were all little worlds I would live in and to say I adored it would be an understatement. To see you still here with us all these years later, once again, unboxing Monster High dolls, it feels full circle. thank you :>
Thank you! It does feel like a bit of a full circle moment. So much has happened in our lives as a family in the last decade and having youtube as a constant has been really, really good for my mental health. I go into our little studio and escape from life for a bit. Monster High represents such a beautiful expression of humanity...I know that sounds strange. But the idea behind the dolls and what they were able to represent because they dolls weren't technically human was ground breaking . And I think so many kids who were not "normies" were able to see themselves in the dolls and the characters. That is so important.
I’m so proud of you for being able to make your video today after having a hard week! I’m absolutely loving this channel, I used to watch it when I was younger and loved it so much and watching y’all doll hunt and review dolls. And here I am back as an adult absolutely loving watching these videos again and trying to get back into the doll community especially monster high!
I remember my first sight of Monster High. I was intrigued by the concept, but put off by the giant noggin/skinny body proportions. This was probably the first line to make dolls I didn't want but furniture, etc, that I definitely wanted.
It’s so crazy thinking it’s going to be 10 years. I grew up watching you go doll hunting. I would tell my mom how cool you were going out with your son and doll hunt. We would go together to hunt for Monster high just like you while watching your videos in the car. It’s such a full circle moment being able to take my 3 year old sister hunting for her own monster high. Thank you for all the great videos and memories ❤️
This brings back so many memories. I remember that it was your channel and myfroggystuff's channel that got me into collecting dolls! I wanted the original Draculaura so much, and my best friend got me the "Monster Exchange" one cause it was so hard to find the dolls in my country. Watching your videos with Kaiden were always the highlight of my day. It's so hard to not to tear up, remembering that this doll line is over 12 years now! Praying Mattel gives us Ever After High back too. WELCOME BACK, GHOULS!
I was 13 when these launched and I immediately fell in love and collected them until the Freaky Fusion movie. I was so sad thay they got rebooted eventually since it didn't feel the same anymore. So glad they're back and I can enjoy them again in my mid 20s
Me too!!! So glad you can experience the fun again!
I really hope we get a Cleo haunt couture or reproduction doll soon. Also if Mattel decides to do a reproduction of some of the popular lines, like what bratz is currently doing, I hope the reproduce gloom and bloom because it’s been a struggle to find a Cleo from that line.
You are the most entertaining doll collector I've watched. I can relate to you a lot. I am a grown woman with 4 children and have just recently came out about the fact I actually wanted to collect dolls again, as an adult. You make me feel like it should be bragged about and not something to be embarrassed about. You are also funny as well, which makes it much better. Keep it up! :) After watching your videos, I bought so many Rainbow High dolls and also got into Monster HIgh! Omg... it is sooooo addicting! It makes me happy and is great therapy when you are having a rough day.
I don’t really know what to say except YES!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! I’m a teenage girl, but I’m lucky enough to have parents that don’t believe in throwing away my interests because I’m “too old” for them (probably bc my dad has tons of GI joes in the boxes displayed in his closet lmao) dolls are just incredible, and they’re just magical both for the art of them and how it unifies all sorts of people. I hope that when I’m older I’m
able to be collecting like you :) I’m gonna be real I just really love dolls and all the incredible ways you can transform and change them. Seeing your comment made me really excited for the future, and I’m really happy that your at a place where you can collect without shame!
I didn't start collecting dolls until 2019 as an adult. I got my first Monster High doll in July 2020 at the flea market. I'm so excited to collect the original dolls brand new. I was able to get Lagoona on walmarts website Friday morning but everyone else was sold out. I found them up for preorder later that day and preordered them. I'm curious to see if my walmart has them but I also wanted to ensure I actually got them all.
Loved these dolls and the Ever After High line as well. So excited for them to be back!
we need a FULL monster high collection
Yes, our ghouls are back! I desperately want Lagoona for some reason. I always loved her original doll. I know I have one SOMEWHERE in storage (along with 50+ others) but I really want a new one. My original was secondhand, since I got into collecting them just before the reboot and so I missed my chance for most of the original run.
The original dolls came out when I was 19, I've always loved monsters so I considered collecting them so many times but I could never afford them and it's been my biggest regret since getting into dolls. Like a lot of people I imagine I started collecting dolls over quarantine and that's also when the original dolls kind of shot up in price. I'm so excited to be able to finally own these dolls it's unreal, I bought Haunt Couture when they came out but they were kind of my first Monster High dolls and it'll be nice to have some I can actually unbox 💖
I am proud to say I was here 10 years ago seeing that video when I was only 6 years old made me so happy. Thank you for growing up with me and always accepting everyone
Monster high was my life as a kid, and I always regretted how I only managed the keep a couple of my dolls. As I was neurodivergent (had trouble with socialization and understanding others, as well as obsessing over very select interests) monster high gave me something that let me connect to others and understand them. The series just means so much to me. I’m over the moon to see them come back, and I’m super happy that you’re coming the ghouls, bc something about your channel just makes me feel so safe. Much love!
not even through the video yet- but this is already bringing back SOOOO many memories from when i was buying my dolls and tuning in to you and Kaiden (not sure how to spell his name!) doll hunting. it’s so crazy how much time has passed
These are going to be my first monster high dolls that I ever gotten in stores!!!!
i’m so happy the original dolls are back! monster high was such a big part of my childhood
I’m so happy to see your excitement for the comeback and the nostalgia is so very special for me especially right now. I just lost my little fur baby Jet 2 days before I found the ghouls in store, I went looking for them to try and distract myself and remember the excitement of looking for them. I brought her (and her sister) home from the shelter right as monster high originally launched and just remember how special these little girls were to me and how special these dolls were always makes me feel so happy, then discovering your channel and the transitions from then on with Kayden and with your own channel, then into your channel talking about mental health which has helped tremendously, I hope you know what a light and joy you are for your followers. Just thank you, for your videos, your joy, your passion. You’re a very special human.
Thank you for reminding me why I fell in love with these dolls in the first place.
I’m 18 years old, graduating high school next week, and monster high was a huge part of my childhood. It’s so exciting having this creeproduction right when my childhood is ending 🥺 and I’m transferring into adulthood.
I forgot how exciting it was to have dolls that came with a story to discover and explore, as well as character traits that I would use when playing with them, such as making a scenario where they had to face their fears.
Monster high was my first introduction to fashion dolls; I remember begging my mom to get me “the Frankie one that comes with her pet” as a child I didn’t understand why there were so many 😂
I thought, “well I have the doll, why do I have to get a whole other one just for the outfit?”
i started watching you when i was 4 (or 3, either way i was SUPER young!!) your videos always brought me joy and they made me grow my love for monster high. I cant believe its been 9 - 10 years.. Im so glad to see the dolls back!! I cant wait to see them back in my country
Wow!!!! You are definitely OG. Isn't is strange to be your age and experience nostalgia?
You have no idea the joy the dolls coming back has brought me! I started collecting when I was 9. and not too much longer later I found your channel back then too, I see you've under gone some channel changes but im happy your still here bc this made my world complete no pun intended. Hope your kid is doing well!
I love this so much. I remember being in 5th grade watching you guys review dolls and I loved it so much. Now I'm a senior in highschool and I'm about to graduate. Your just such a cool person, I can't express it. So awesome
I remember being 7 and watching you and your son unbox these dolls. I was always jealous and wanted to be your guy's friend so much it's kinda funny and now watching just makes me feel happy has it reminds me of how much you guys let me feel like it was okay to be alone and different from others in my school so thank you for that
You were the channel that made me discover monster high when I was young and since then it's been my favorite toy still a decade later❤️
I thought this channel was gone! I almost shed a tear when I saw you back on my recommendation. One of my OG favourite CZcamsr since 2015. I'm so happy they're bringing it back! I just hope they didn't remove Lagoona's big fishy eyes...That's what she is after all
When I was little I literally breathed Monster High. I had the curtains, bed sheets, towels, pillow, pajamas, costumes, a birthday cake, backpack, several dolls and more. I regret giving the ones I had away because now that I want to collect them again they are so hard to find. or crazy expensive. Monster High was honestly a huge highlight of my childhood
oh gosh, you singing the crudest version of your old intro song took me BACK !!! can't believe it's been so long, but I'm so happy to have had the privilege of growing up along side kaiden, and to still be here watching you after all this time!!
OMG MONSTERHIGH IS FINALLY BACK IM CRYING 😭😭😭🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩THE ARE GORGEOUS 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It’s crazy I’ve been watching you for the past 10 years and seeing how much your channel has changed it’s grown so much and I can’t believe I’ve been here this long and I love your videos and I hope everything is going good with you guys and makes me wanna cry because I was 19 when I started watching you guys
Thank you so much!! 10. years can fly by! So much has changed, so it's so nice to have something familiar come back
@@MyWorldMelissa I still have one of my original dolls I just wanna get one of the new ones so I could have both and oh my God I’m so happy for you guys for coming from such a long way and thank you for making my day for answering my comment 💜
i remember being really excited about lagoona because she was australian and i’m australian and i was so happy to have a australian doll that wasn’t the but of any jokes. this is why representation beyond skin tone matters so many little girls in australia had Lagoona as their fav
Yayyy screaming inside
I'm second! That's never happened before. I'm kinda excited! Plus I've never owned a Monster High doll before. I'm getting excited. I don't know which one to get first....hmmm let's see how they look.......👀💀☠️🧛🏻♂️🧟♀️
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! IM SO EXCITING!!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY THEY ARE COMING BACK!!!!😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was young, but I had one monster high doll, and that was Draculaura. She was pink and black and I did chores around the house so I could get her and my mom hated her because she was “scary” and “girls should play with cute barbies not creepy things”… but I liked how they were different! Just like me. I came out as non binary last year and now I’m finally allowing myself to have and enjoy things that were different or maybe I was told I couldn’t like. Thank you for also bringing me down memory lane and reviewing these dolls again! I used to watch ur channel all the time. Love it :)
9 years ago I found this channel while trying to show my mum what I wanted for my birthday. I have so many fond memories of this channel and monster high
i just started collecting dolls this year and i’m so exciting that monster high is making a comeback! i was around 6 years old when monster high came out, so i never got the original dolls but i always really wanted them! monster high really helped me a lot when i was younger and it’s so cool that now i’ll be able to collect the dolls i never got to. fingers crossed they sell them internationally since walmart doesn’t ship to australia 🤞
Monster High Is Back
I'm so incredibly happy that the ghouls are back, and you opening up a monster high doll brings back so many memories of summer afternoons watching you and Kaden unbox and review these dolls with my sister back in the day!
I hope these dolls get released outside of the USA, we were really sad when they said these would only be available at walmart in the US, cause me and my sister were really looking forward for this re-release, as we never got the chance to get the original ghouls :(
Awwww.....so great that you are still watching
THE GHOULS ARE BACK! 💞 🤩 🌈
I LOVE LOVE LOVE monster high because it Nostalgic and it so diverse with dolls like jinafire and skelita representing different cultures and fashions.There also just so cool and original because no other doll line were monster that were glamorous and just soooo cool.Also there message freaky just got fabulous really inspired me because I’m queer and I grew up in a homophobic home and there message made me realize that being queer wasn’t a bad thing and made me embrace myself. so I’m so happy that these dolls are back and I spring other kids to realize that there quote on quite flaws are not bad and I’m so proud of Mattel for doing this!
MELISSA!!!! If you have the store apps set for your local stores, you can check to see what your local stores have in-store before you even leave the house. May 31 is the date set for my local Walmart.
HOW ON EARTH HS IT BEEN OVER 10 YEARS GOSH TIME FLYS !!!
so i was a kid when the original dolls dropped. i was lucky to keep my childhood monster high dolls, but they are in no collector condition lol. also my family wasn’t the most well off family, so we couldn’t get many. still very thankful my parents got me a few
I feel so much nostalgia right now! I never got to own many monster high dolls when they were first released so the reproduction has made me so happy. I got the Draculara and Lagoona doll today! I'm so happy you still continue to make videos, I thought of you when I was buying them and had to come revisit your channel. Thank you for all you do, you are amazing.
Hi, this is just for you. Please keep going and continue making videos❤. You have no clue how happy and joyful your videos Make me . Thank you ❤
Also finally I'll be able to have my first monster high dolls everrrr
"You may have to become a dollhunter!" OMG...I'm mid twenties now (👁👁) and have been watching your videos since I was a young teenager. This made me so very happy. I hope I can find some of these myself! Thank you for being such a happy part of my teen years and today.
Awwww....thank you for sticking around! Enjoy the hunt!
I'm glad you are feeling better. I can't tell you how excited I am to hunt for these dolls, since I missed out on them back in 2010. Your excitement is giving me the energy push to go out and get them so I can enjoy in the masterpiece that is Monster High.
I grew up watching you guys and I remember meeting you all at bronycon with dollastic and Audrey !! I still love watching your videos
This just brings back so much nostalgia!!!!
You were the first and best youtuber I ever watched for doll reviews in the past, super happy i found you again!! :DDDDD
Awwww....thank you so much!!!!!!!
Not me watching a video of a doll Ive owned for years lol. Im so excited for this new reboot!
It's so funny. I wasn't sure if anyone wanted to see me talk about a doll I had already talked about 10 years ago. But it was so fun to do and I'm so happy that people like you are enjoying it!!
Ahh, how lucky! I'm still staking out my city's Walmarts, so I haven't found the ghouls yet, but just seeing them is so exciting!
I swear if Mattel doesn't produce The Prom doll line
So glad these are back, my daughter got into Monster High when she was really young like 2ish and wanted the dolls but we held off because of the removable parts and we regretted it majorly she has a handful of Monster High dolls mostly of the reboots so we ordered 3/4 (by the time I saw the other 3 Lagoona was sold out) 🤞 that the Cleo rumor is true because she is a household favorite
Just got my Lagoona today!!!!
Okay ill admit it as a life long doll collector when I first saw these dolls oh so many years ago I made any excuse I could to buy them all for my. 4 year old haha still love them
It really has been 10 years! I started watching the show when I was 8, I’m now 18 and just graduated. I feel like I’ve grown up with u guys! 😭
My stores still haven't gotten them yet. Very jealous of everyone finding them. Hopefully they show up for me soon. My Walmarts take forever to get stuff in
If you're near Maysville, Kentucky, they have them.
@@jeanieschmidt3781 I'm in SC and none of the stores near me have them according to the website
@@TabbiToyCollectibles That would be quite the drive for you, then. Hope you find them!
Yes that’s what happening we’re I love smh I hope they get restock soon
Yay! They have real nail polish!
AHHH OMG I got Frankie and Lagoona two days ago and I'm planning on getting Dracula and Clawdeen soon IM SOOO happy there back on shelves and I can't wait to see what else they bring back 😍 and I'm soooo excited to see what the new generation thinks of them I CANT BELIEVE Frankie and Lagoona are standing next to my LOL OMG dolls
I hope the new generation loves them and gets the concept!
I really hope they come to Australia since I only started collecting at the end of last year and the only dolls I have is rainbow high dolls
i can’t believe 10 years!! i have been watching you since i was a kid🤍🖤 and i love monster high, i’m going to walmart this weekend to see if they have any left because i didn’t know this drop already happened. i’m hoping they have some left!
I have been watching you since I was just a little girl. I was about ten I think! I loved seeing all your monster high videos. I’m in university now and watch your videos when I have a chance to breathe between all my studio classes. Thank you for ten years of wonderful content.
ahhh yes! 2012 was the first time i ever watched you unbox monster high dolls!! i remember so vividly that i was OBSESSED with monster high
I remember years ago going into Toys R Us and seeing all the Monster High dolls and Playsets. I miss the Big Toys R Us stores. Is there going to be any playsets coming out?
I saw them Friday at Walmart and I was so excited they were back!
I have to get to a Walmart before they sell out. I need to see my ghouls in a store again!
I’m proud to say this channel got me into monster high, feels so good to be able to collect all these years later
I am proud to hear you say it!!!!
I love your videos. You are such an inspiration. Knowing that I'm not alone and also not the oldest one out there collecting dolls cuz I'm 51 I just want to say thank you so much plus I have Parkinson's disease so I have a hard time everyday also.
I’ve been watching your channel from the start and been a mh collector since the start too and watching this video I’m nearly in tears at the nostalgia watching you again with the new Ghouls really reliving my childhood again💗
it makes my heart warm when you are super supportive of your son being trans. i am non-binary & neither of my parents really understand & i kind of pretend i’m not even though i’m out because nobody really understands. so the fact that you’re so respectful & understanding. i know it’s the bare minimum but i live in texas & it’s not very common that you see that.
Wow I want to sit down and appreciate how Marissa actually sat down and read though the comments. A lot of creators don’t do this to react to other people in the world 🌎. Lots of bravery . ❤️💕❤️
I used to love monster high and I still sometimes watch the movies I am so happy these dolls are back
My first ever MH dolls were original Frankie and Lagoona. Unfortunately, I had to throw away my Frankie because there was just no way to restore her, and Lagoona is a little destroyed but she's at least with me still holding up. Seeing the reproductions has made me so emotional, and i feel like i'm 8 years old again. I really want to get them but getting them in Spain is already a really hard thing because they're sooooo much more expensive for some reason. Hopefully they'll get here in stores soon and they wont be as expensive!!!!
I couldn't afford them way back when but hopefully can get these for my collection. I absolutely loved them and I even remember showing my mom one night in stores and I wanted them but my mom couldn't afford them. My dad wouldn't buy me dolls cuz he thought at age 20+ it was another of my phases well now he has been proven wrong 12 years later lol 🤣
I cannot believe it has been 10 years! I remember being 12 years old and embarrassed of my monster high collection because I was “too old” for it! I’m 22 now and I’m still in love with monster high and I don’t care what anyone thinks!!
They were also on the Mattel website! But people in certain countries could have brought them
I didn’t even know they were available in the uk on the Mattel website but I was only able to get Frankie & lagoon since Draculaura was sold out
I’m so glad that frankie and lagoon were still available
Omg who remembers iris?! We need her back!😭💜
Also, Lagoona's pet (Neptuna) reminds me of Mr. Piranha from The Bad Guys (anyone read or watched The Bad Guys?)
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 This needs to be a thing again. All of it. Monster High. Your reviews. Ghoulia. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
GHOULIA!!! And I secretly want them to re-release Skull Shores Ghoulia because there were never enough, LOL!!!! It would legit be so funny if they did!
My childhood has risen from the dead *wink wink*
I also remember watching you guys when I was 3 or 4 look at me now in 13 and still watch you. I do miss the Mommy and Gracie show, but we all grow up, and I grew up with you guys. I don't think I could ever be happier to see my childhood coming back. It's weaken all of us Manster's and Ghouls from the dead.
I was 8 years old when I first started watching this channel. I’m 18 now, time flies ☹️
help i used to watch her so much as a kid i love that shes still making videos :)
IV NEVER SEEN MH ON SHELVES UNTILL LAST WEEK!!!!! I started collecting a year-ish ago!! I thought id never see them. EVER!!
I'm pretty sure that you're excited about your monster high.
i went walmart-hopping today looking for the gals! i only visited 2 since i was using uber (expensive uuuuuuu) but i did find lagoona and frankie! im so happyyyy
I feel like i'm 12 again watching you unboxing Monster High dolls
I'm so happy seeing you again. I was just third grader when I subscribed to your channel and now I'm college-bound. You haven't aged!!!!! 💖
