I really appreciate you inspecting these dolls more than others. Quite a few times you've shown us something on the doll that other reviewers didn't notice. I've seen a few reviews of this doll, & nobody knew or just didn't show that the outer skirt comes off. Thank You!!
Now it seems they are starting to allow fangclub members one day early access on skullectors. Thats definitely something new. I do however think that they should start guaranteeing dolls availability if we are paying for a membership. Its $10 for the whole year so its not like we are paying it every single time we want an exclusive doll, ya know? Its still nice that we get 2 shots instead of one and done for the skullectors though. As far as Operetta goes, yes, I was one to complain about the eyes and lip shape but when I got her all of that went out the window. Shes stunning✨✨ Shes almost a younger version somehow because to me with her OG makeup style she was always looked older. The fact that shes loosely based on Wanda Westwood from Crybaby is pretty cool! I love the pinup rockabilly style and its represented well here. I wouldn't change a thing tbh🖤❤️✨
I’m so excited to see your room update! I’m in the middle of reorganizing my home office and my doll collection. It’s a LOT of work and any inspiration is greatly appreciated. ✨
If she was sold in a normal monster high box she would be $25 and maybe come with more. Collectors are basically paying for a play line doll in a special box and comes with a piece of paper
Playline will always cost less because of savings from volume of production. Also, $25 doesn’t get you much in playline anymore. Look what happened to Rainbow High. The real difference is that playline often goes on sale, so then the gap indeed widens more. Collector dolls have never been good value. I don’t think MH collectors should expect to get much more than Barbie since it is the same parent company. So, compare to the Barbie movie dolls, which were mostly $50 except for 4 basic $25 ones.
I do like her skirt flipped around much better! 👗 Also, I'm disappointed with the Fang Club membership. It was sold to us as this really cool, exclusive thing, but they haven't delivered. Luckily, its only $10/year BUT, give me more! I would love at least 3 or 4 guaranteed exclusive dolls per year.
I ordered Operetta, I love the rockabilly look. I wish her hair was in an updo, especially with her scarf and pet. It would kind of give Rosie the Riveter vibes. ❤
I think this doll is gorgeous! I love all the extra little details! I didn't order this one but Amazon just put a lot of Monster High dolls on sale and I ordered several! 😅
I like my recently purchased Roller Maze one more. The dress is very similar but more simple, which I like on my MH dolls. Also, mine has a better face up. She's my first original MH doll.
I'm coming into this as someone who passed. First: she's easily worth her cost, her cost makes sense compared to other collector dolls mattel has put out. So why did I pass? I find alot of hyper retro looks to be kitschy, and so I always thought operetta was cool, but never wanted her dolls. Same thing applies here, I'm just not personally into it. Now there is one choice mattel made I found out about later that I will dock points for: these shud have been tights. There is absolutely no reason why loose knee socks shud be considered acceptable They're trying to make fang club worth more by giving ppl an early release for skullectors. Honestly it shud be like that for every drop. Period After the review, while I def like the poodle skirt idea more I think I still won't be buying
That's completely fair! Thank you for sharing your point of view. It's refreshing to hear actual criticism rather than just someone calling the doll "garbage"
@@ChadMarvelous i know it gets so annoying seeing that. This was just a doll where I see and agree with the choices for the character, I just wasn't feeling it. It's possible that altering the color scheme cud have made me like it more, becuz I am color biased. But who knows
The only thing I like about the doll was the accessories, shoes, and the doll. The dress could have be designed better, like a classy Rocker Billy inspired gown. I want to put a red short sleeve leather jacket on her.
I don’t have a single operetta doll and I really really want one I was so so excited to find out this doll was coming out I thought finally I can have one but then I seen her and strongly felt she looked simply like a play line doll not a bad doll just a definite play line doll for sure not a collector doll at all so with hardly any money I had to make the tough decision to not get her just because of it not being a smart decision because I was not totally wowed by her I couldn’t justify paying collector price for what looked like a play line doll I felt like I would be giving my money to a scalper even though I really really wanted a operetta doll so so bad 😢
LOVE the original Operetta but I was never able to get her. I really hope for a creeproduction. Although now with this face, i'm concerned a creepro will be super different. I get so much joy from the $25 creepros. So much greatness for a low price. I personally don't think that this doll in particular is worth the 50 + $7 shipping + $10 Fang club. If she was $50 and available at Target, Amazon, Walmart etc with free shipping options then that would be a different story. Kind of how the Howliday dolls showed up on all those retailers and those aren't necessarily marketed towards kids either. I think people are right to complain about the huge issues going on at Mattel Creations, not insulting the designers, but like legitimate concerns. Like why couldn't get I Jack and Sally at retail price because bots get them first and mine sold right as I was at checkout? The weird limited quantity runs for Fang Club members before general presale for The Creature. The first Fang Club run only offering 1 doll despite them making it sound like we would get much more. This false scarcity, like Mattel legit has us grabbed by the balls with the MH/Skullector scarcity. It's ridiculous Some people couldn't even get the Creepros. It's so slimy toward the MH fanbase in general. I guess long story short is that they keep the Creepros going and even more accessible... hopefully!
I don’t like the purple colors .. in my opinion the purple colors don’t match right with any of the other colors like with the red or green or even the different shades of the purples together .. I think a good dark Smokey eye and black instead of the purple would have looked much better possibly if the skirt thing with disc on it was the only thing purple then maybe but ya idk in my mind there’s so many different ways she could’ve been way better color wise
I don't like that they changed her eyes from the G1 line, I also don't like the bright color of her eye shadow., also don't like the earrings There is a lot I do like about her though.
Finally someone who appreciates the doll and doesn't just hate on them, this feels like a genuine review.
You were right, it's a treble clef. 😊 Don't sell yourself short! 😁👋🏻
I really like it is a unique doll love it😊❤❤❤🎉

She’s on her way too me soon. I love her

"Midnight Runway Operetta"!!! That would be amazing...🙂
The skirt with the net overlay was also popular in the 50's. They were called "illusion" dresses.
I love the way you put her skirt the other way looks more like it's from the 50s poodle skirt that way to me.

I would have loved the doll but it was out of my budget. Unfortunately, once it sells out from Mattel, you're screwed. Effing scalpers!

Nothing fancy
