I found this gem today at the thrift. Had no idea it was Monster High Draculaura Adult Collector Doll 2015. I bought it cause she was so pretty and would look so good on my book shelf. Payed $6.99

What are we doing, £300 for doll they don't even have yet!

Please don't do this 🙏

feel free to rant lmao

For some reason, it kept refusing my card. Then, after 7 minutes, this happened..... I wanted this doll so badly, I could cry.

My bestie has graciously let me play with her dolls- this was my first time doing a face up other than a little lipstick change! I’m also clearly obsessed with giving dolls perfect wavy hair. I gave her a red manicure with black tips, and a dark red lipstick change, plus new brows, and painted her boots. I also played around styling her with some LOL OMG Surprise and Shadow High clothes, plus glasses I had from my Neon Frights doll- because her core glasses are hideous.

I have had nothing but ROTTEN luck with getting Ghoulia’s core doll secondhand 🥲 one came to me smelling moldy/musty and it didn’t matter that I let her soak in white vinegar, baking soda, or coffee grounds for days and weeks on end- she was disgusting smelling, and I ended up trashing her. And to be fair- she also had a wonky face that I was trying to talk myself into being okay with. My 2nd attempt at Ghoulia is the one on the left of the last picture with no eyebrows. I took a gamble on Vinted with her plus a day out Clawdeen. She already had a messy face up- and while the eyebrows they attempted mostly came off, the lipstick did stain. The third Ghoulia (right last photo) I got on Depop for a few bucks- and she has the better hair and complete body, but her face is super wonky. So I guess to recreate this for myself I’ll need to color match her skin tone, or do an entirely new face 🙃

I’ve seen multiple people getting dragged online from buying from resellers.
Many people used the excuse “well she has two releases just wait for the pre order”
The pre order sold out in less than 10 minutes from what I saw.

Many people I see complaining about resellers are the same people buying 2 dracs and keeping both or just for trading one to people who couldn’t get it because they bought it..

I really feel like this hobby has just made the community crumble. People who could get her on Mattel judging people who couldn’t and people who couldn’t get her attacking people who could.

Realistically this isn’t on collectors or resellers this time it’s on Mattel. Mattel definitely knows the reseller problem, yet they do nothing because they still get money. They try to pretend like they had no idea but they definitely did.

Instead of being at each others throats why don’t you complain to Mattel instead? It’s more productive than bullying people over the doll. Sorry.

Edit: I’m not defending resellers, yeah they suck. But only placing blame on resellers and not on the company allowing resellers isn’t productive.

As if they didnt f'k this drop up enough, they will cancel your order if you dont comfirm it a second time!

I managed to get the draculaura doll yesterday after such a stressful drop! I even got the confirmation email so was pleased. Today I find this. I am so upset because I couldn't even preorder her as I thought I already bought her !!!!

I cant believe mattel.

So I was able to get Draculura as my first ever Skullector doll in a public release which doesn’t seem real, but I got a confirmation email! The thing is that I was so on edge I didn’t realize I had put 2 dolls in my cart until I was on the final check out page. I hit confirm payment because I was scared she would sell out before I could fix it and now I have no idea what to do with the extra doll!

Someone recommended I share my screenshot in this sub to let others know that today will probably be a repeat of yesterday. There seems to be a lot of misunderstandings that the general public release of Draculaura's Halloween doll will be plentiful and easy for everyone to order when that's not true. This is not going to be a situation where everyone will place an order and they will make the dolls for the amount of orders placed.

Originally made this quickly for myself, but thought I’d share it here too. (The hearts are the checkboxes!) How many Collector Dracs do you have and who’s your favorite?

It’s not perfect but it turned out way better than I was expecting!! I curled her hair with straws, then waited till those were dry and laid her on a risen surface to flatten out her mohawk piece with gel and hairspray.

i set two alarms for her and when she was in my cart and i was checking out she sold out because the website was buggy.... i am so upset i really dont know what to do. i dont want to pay off the scalpers who are the most worthless people on earth. what are my options at this point??? i am genuinely heartbroken and i cried abt her like i havent been this in love with a doll in a long while. i dont know what to do. im sure i am just one person in a sea who feel the same as i do. its horrible. why is mattel like this??? do they hate money??? why dont they make more stock of the best selling ghoul????

I’m so scared

How long do you guys think she'll be up for preorder for?

And finds this on the shelf 🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷

I missed her yesterday so I'm glad I was able to at all. Checked my email and used a 10% off code too

That $300 one has 47 sold. How is this even possible when there was supposed to be a limit to 2 per person? They sold out so fast 😭 I wasnt able to get the first drop. Thankfully I got one on this pre-order but even then, they sold out within 7 minutes of being released.

I’ve had success with a handful of previous drops and yesterday + today were just impossible. I’m convinced that most of these went to scalpers & the fact that mattel refuses to do a made-to-order drop OR release actual statistics on how many of these dolls were produced is ultra fishy. Artificial scarcity much???

I would feel a lot better if they simply shared how many of these draculauras exist? It would feel a lot less crappy if we could see the facts on paper. But clearly these drops are being used as publicity stunts to drive attention to monster high as a brand… which is unfortunate, because over time this sort of carelessness is going to turn monster high from an iconic brand grounded in great media and iconic characters to another consumerist fad that’s irrelevant in 5yrs 😭

Did a Fearidescent Drac restyle I adore. Mostly Shadow High pieces used in the fit. r/wegotdollsathome is a fun place to reignite collector creativity when you’re bummed about a disaster drop.

my man got her for me 🥲🥲 this is the best day ever

After yesterday’s nightmare, I was actually able to secure her today and I’m so happy! Who else got lucky today and who is in mourning? 🩷

I just received this email and had to go into my account and approve of my order saying I still want it! What is going on over there Mattel?!

Mind you this is for the pre order that already won’t come until next year…
