All the trims on headdress are sewing supplies. What you referred to as barrettes are safety pins, the serrated wheels are from stitch markers. They come with different spacings for stitch sizes. They are used with transfer paper and are rolled along to mark the stitch line. The scissors are probably for embroidery.
Ah I misspoke with the safety pins. Had to watch that back because I definitely remember them being safety pins. My bad! I’ve never used stitch markers so those are foreign to me but that makes a lot more sense!
Is that a seam ripper in the back, dangling from the chain? How about the chain itself? Buttons? Zipper teeth? 🤔 I expected to see spools of thread, but didn't, I have to look again. Thanks for this! 🙂🖐️
Really random but it's honestly really cool to see that you're so chill and normal about limited dolls being made in bigger quantity, I'm not really a collector but it's always kind of disheartening when long time collectors are like sooo pissed at the idea of more people owning limited release dolls idk it's just so nice to see a positive attitude on the matter from someone who's been into the hobby for a long long time
This is hands down the absolute best Frankie Stein doll ever made, they look gorgeous, and the fact that we get a doll with such great styling, and separate pieces when it comes to the outfit for just $50 (which ik not evryone can afford) in comparison to other collector releases is honestly such a relieve.
it amazes me how much quality and detail annalise is able to put into her designs when they’re being executed. like i genuinely do believe that VH drac and SIS frankie are worth their prices. like is they were any less cheaper i would consider that a steal !
I was playing with my Stitched in Style Frankie before I started watching your review as mine also arrived yesterday; she is quite devine! I'm really loving that Gen 1 MH dolls are becoming more prominent in terms of releases! If the leaks are accurate, we can expect Howliday Clawd & Draculaura for Valentine's Day and Jinafire for the Lunar New Year which makes me extremely excited as I love those 3 ghouls! I really hope we get to see the comeback of Gen 1 Elissabat, Nefera, Catty, Abbey, and Gigi soon in the format of these special edition dolls!
Thank you for this video. I'm so glad that they're making more reproduction Gen One Dolls because I'm not a fan at all of Gen Three Dolls at all, so I still restore the originals for my collection. 💜
calling someone neutral pronouns isn't a sin nor is it an insult, and the way you just said "gen 3 has changed HER into a THEM" was incredibly insensitive and offensive.@@donnahanna10565
I think they achieved the "under construction" idea. It looks like the point in the design where it's still half finished, under construction, but it's reached that magical point where the finished design has begun to reveal itself and you're getting your first glimpse at the finished product. 🖤👍
she's a pass for me, Only because, I'm trying my hardest to get Jack and Sally and if they fall through I'm buying sunny and Luna from the rainbow high 2 pack as a rebound doll set
She's beautiful! I love her eye colors I love her long straight hair with bangs I wish a lot more dolls would have super long straight hair would love draculura!
I adore this doll so much! She's only $50 and well worth price-point in my budget due to the unique pieces and the separated layers. I do wish the plastic pieces had more fidelity to them but that would likely make the price higher, so eh. Quick note on Ghouluxe Ghoulia - she was $50 baseline + $10 Fang Club so $60 instead of $70 (though after Mattel Creations shipping it was around that price point so you're still right anyways??). Great video :D
Just got her waiting for her to ship, but idgaf I got her! I want them to do a scarily ever after revamp of sorts and also include Abbey and Cleo dolls from their looks in their little fairytale diary/books. I think it could be interesting, ofc a better clawdeen and hopefully a Howliday Abbey cuz it makes more sense for her since she’s winter themed already! 😭 any excuse to see a newer abbey doll
This is off-topic for this video, but do you think you’d ever consider doing a video highlighting different brands of fashion dolls from all over the world/smaller companies? My passion is collecting dolls from all different countries and I’d love to see what fashion dolls other countries have. 16:2716:36
Have you heard of Dollect? It’s a doll databasing project I founded! It’s got a site with 10,000 dolls listed and the priority for me is coverage of smaller and international brands! I do this through UA-cam shorts also! I need to do it more since that’s also my collecting passion haha. For my day-to-day on UA-cam I cover a lot of modern
I know it’s the 13th anniversary and all but I wish they’d spaced things out waaaayyy more. I think there’s a limit of 6 skullectors in a year so we’re done with Mattel creations… for now
Hearing "they" hurts my ears because it's so gramatically dumb. And she's g1 so maybe we're supposed to say she? As long as only g3 frankie refers as they/them. The only thing that is stopping me from buying her is that she's too expensive here on amazon. 68€ (like 70 dollars). Official price...all dolls comes from china, why here in Europe we have to pay always more than USA?😭🙄
Import tax. Manufacture in China by a U.S. company to US market doesn’t count as an import. EU and Britain heavily tax imports. It’s also not grammatically dumb. The term “grammatically dumb” is though :/
@xCanadensis it's a single female doll. So it should be "it" or "she". And as I said, it's G1 frankie not G3. But that's just my opinion, I didn't mean to offend you sorry. But it's still strange that mattel has really big import taxes, mga comes here with lower taxes. Mattel is already expensive, plus if they come super taxed people are not too interested buying their dolls unfortunately. Btw thank you for the info :)
So they them can be used as a singular and that usage is not new. So, if it hurts your ears, that is a you problem. Below is some information about that. The singular they isn't actually new. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the singular they showed up in writing in 1375-over 600 years ago! The OED also suggests the usage is even older since written language usually reflects trends already present in spoken language
@@mattkon1808they/them/their has always been used as a singular or plural in English. Y’all only started questioning it after you learned about non-binary.
First of all, I mean, no offense and just very hurt and I hope you hear me out.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I'm GENERATION ONE FRANKIE IS NOT A THEY/THEM, and you are opening up a Generation ONE styled Frankie Stein, which is she/her not a "they/them". If you want equality, acceptance, and respect for generation 3 and Gen Z, you need to show respect for the GENERATIONs that came before. So many people are feeling pushed aside because Monster High has entered a new universe. But I don't think you care about your fans who are older or it more into Generation One. You have so much incredible knowledge about dolls. I found your videos fascinating.You seem to be so genuine and open that I truly believed you, and it is hurtful that you continue to call a doll that is generation one a they/them but expect others to respect the new Gen 3 non-binary asigned gender. And please don't get me wrong. I truly believe in transgender people. But non bionary doesn't fit with science. And I wonder if you are actually a scientist. How come you don't have an issue with that? There is another Doll collecter youtuber ZombieXCorm who explained that generation 3 is a separate universe. And I thought that was incredibly respectful, that was, and how he actually likes his fans even if they have a different opinion than his. I have great respect for him and that he cares about all of his fans. You show absolutely no respect to your fans like myself who are very loyal to your videos. It feels like you're trying to change our past, but you expect us to respect your future. Are you really a scientist? I am sorry I'm just rather hurt by your lack of respect for others? I thought you were supposed to be the inclusive open generation. But it doesn't seem to be true. I am so sorry if I'm wrong about you. I doubt you'll answer this, but I'm hoping you will, because you're an adult and a lover of science. And if you truly want respect for the new generation, you need to show us that you really do care about the generations that can before like. I said earlier on I give respect to those who can show me respect.
There is zero respect in this comment 🤷♀️ did I say anything about the original generation one canon? Did I talk to down to anyone? No. Please understand that the way someone identifies and why they do so is none of anyone’s business. I study crustaceans and work in museums. I have no bearing over people’s gender identity. How does loving a doll line and being a scientist absolve me of being a thinking and feeling person? You are basically saying I am not a good person and I can’t be intelligent because I… uh… believe non-binary people exist? How am I supposed to respond to that? Where did disrespect you or anyone else by referring to a doll by completely neutral pronouns. It has always been valid, even hundreds of years ago, for English language speakers to use “they” when they don’t know the gender of the person they’re referring to. I have non-binary friends and nothing about them identifying that way impacts me or anyone else. I would love for you to explain to me how they’re harming you by just existing? If you’re truly of a generation that I am not then i imagine you’re 30-40, if not older. You want to spend your life being hateful and denying others their freedom to live their life in a way that harms nobody and makes them happy? In short, if you see me just having a different perspective on a character from a doll line as disrespect and a lack of intelligence on my part then I’m not going to enter into a discussion with you. Because there’s absolutely no point since you have decided that disagreeing with you in any way is disrespect. But somehow you don’t see how denying people their freedom to identify differently as harmful and disrespectful?
But anyone can be called they/them. We’ve always used that language to identify people. Example: My daughter’s teacher is so great. I love their teaching style and they are so supportive. 🤷🏽♀️
I have a question for the fandom. I’ve seen a lot of people refer to G1 Frankie now also using they/them pronouns. Is this a confirmed change on Mattel’s part? ‘Cause I haven’t seen anything, so so far I’ve been using she/her for G1, and now I’m not sure which pronouns I have to use. Thanks!😊🩵
She/her is still canon for gen 1. But I like to think of it as referring to G3 Frankie’s past self as “they/them”. Generally people just go with whichever they prefer

such a cool Frankie, thank you for always showing us all the intricate details.
I love her so much!!!!! She’s so pretty and happy to have Monster High dolls from gen 3 but gen 1 body types.
this doll is one of the dolls that really stands out as pose to the other revamps of gen 1. the concept, design, fashion, etc really stands out.
it amazes me how much quality and detail annalise is able to put into her designs when they’re being executed. like i genuinely do believe that VH drac and SIS frankie are worth their prices. like is they were any less cheaper i would consider that a steal !

Wish howliday clawdeen was like this 😭
I think she looks really cute but I’m trying not to look at pics so I can be surprised in person
yay! was excited for your review of them!
Ahh I’m glad
Her...She is a Generation One doll. I be no Offense, but generation 3 has changed her to a day them. But that is generation three, thank you.❤

She is awesome! I just ordered her ❤
Ive never been here for a video so early! so exciting!
she's a pass for me, Only because, I'm trying my hardest to get Jack and Sally and if they fall through I'm buying sunny and Luna from the rainbow high 2 pack as a rebound doll set
Gosh I am so nervous about Jack and sally tomorrow 😭
I didn't sleep last night because they release at 6am here and my body kept being like wake up you'll miss them! @@xCanadensis
Fashion wise I really love this doll! It’s super cool I wish their makeup was done differently but the outfit makes up for it 💙💚🩵🖤
I love her she's Gore-geous Mine just arrived this morning !
She's beautiful! I love her eye colors I love her long straight hair with bangs I wish a lot more dolls would have super long straight hair would love draculura!
Any more RH videos coming up? 🙂
I adore this doll so much! She's only $50 and well worth price-point in my budget due to the unique pieces and the separated layers.

If I get her I would want to put some faux lashes and fix her bangs to be more the part line instead of thatched
Just got her waiting for her to ship, but idgaf I got her! I want them to do a scarily ever after revamp of sorts and also include Abbey and Cleo dolls from their looks in their little fairytale diary/books. I think it could be interesting, ofc a better clawdeen and hopefully a Howliday Abbey cuz it makes more sense for her since she’s winter themed already! 😭 any excuse to see a newer abbey doll
I love your channel i really want to get her shes beautiful
5:32 hi brooke really loved your video frankie they are so cute and i hope you have a fabulous day

She’s one of my favorites. But the Draculaura is still the best MH doll.
This Frankie is ADORABLE and very impressive but wow I wish they came out further away from Vampire Heart Draculaura 😭😭😭 that doll was too good
@@xCanadensisyes! They’ve released what? 6 collector dolls this month? It’s nuts.
I know it’s the 13th anniversary and all but I wish they’d spaced things out waaaayyy more. I think there’s a limit of 6 skullectors in a year so we’re done with Mattel creations… for now
