What I don't understand about the whole "Ghoulia doesn't sell" controversy is that both dolls were Target Exclusives. Not everyone has a Target. How can they make a judgement when she didn't get wide distrabution?
I think they know target exclusives struggle the most. That is why this new line has been shipping to regular stores outside of the US. Cause all the previous Target exclusives didn't ship outside of the US and also target doesn't ship to fey forward companies that allow people from outside of the US to ship outside of the US
She was exclusive to indigo the book store in Canada and I had to ask around to find her. She was made to fail, I hope they can make a really good widely released core refresh of her.
I fell in love with Twyla the first time I saw her. Her lavender skin color, the misty designs on her legs, and the teal! She is perfect. Your restyling is wonderful. Her hair looks great and those shoes! Thanks for sharing! About Ghoulia - she was my 1st MH doll. I got her when I was well into adulthood and was not a collector. I just really liked her, so she would sit on my bookshelf, all by herself. When I rediscovered MH, I saw the G3 dolls were different. Not necessarily in a bad way. I was searching for a G3 version and hadn't found one I could afford, except for the skateboard Ghoulia. As soon as I heard you say she was likely being discontinued, I ordered her. So, if they stop making her, I at least have my G1 version and one G3. Thanks for the heads up!
Gen 3 Twyla is so adorable, and I LOVE her pastel goth aesthetic. Her Fearbook release also has one of her best dolls, in my opinion, and I honestly want to get her for my collection ASAP!🖤💜
Regarding curling, I saw a TH-camr, can't remember which one, curled the hair, about the same amount for each straw, then when it was dry, unrolled the curls and separated/pulled the locks into SMALLER locks and it looked adorable and fuller. Like, in lieu of banana curls, more like tight ringlets. I'm absolutely going to try it. I've only done my Viperine Gorgon so far, but I had fun and was happy with the results. 👍🙂
Oh yeah I definitely should get in the habit of separating the curls! I think it’s easier when the hair is still wet so I’ll prob just keep these thick curls for now but yes, something to keep in mind for sure!
Babe wake up, Draculijah just uploaded a new review Edit: I'm a lil sad bc I never got Ghoulia but her core dolls blonde brows just bother me so bad,,, idk maybe thats a me thing but they just look so off
First of all when we go her in stores and everyone and their mom hated her screening,I was in love ,when she got discounted I got doubles now I have a army of g3 ghoulias and now I know that my army will get reroots of various bluand sapphire shades so she can have more iterations
Wait same, I picked up Ghoulia when she was on sale at Target for $12 and now I have some extras to restyle and customize! I just had a feeling we wouldn’t be seeing much more of her, but I’m still hopeful we’ll get a third G3 Ghoulia doll one day
I don't have a Ghoulia, because neither of the G3 dolls speak to me, but I'd love a core refresh Ghoulia. Then I'd buy the others just for the clothes and accessories :)
mattel’s qc seems worse than usual lately 😩 it took me 3 tries to get a core refresh cleo without bald spots on the sides of her head and bent sunglasses. i got a great twyla on the first try though! i think fearbook twyla is THE best twyla doll of all the gens 1-3 tbh, i love her so much! her earrings looked like doorknockers to me, like the belt on her creepover doll. also i’d never considered ghoulia and twyla as a ship before now but i’m totally sold 👀 you did such a great job with this restyle and painting her shoes and curling her hair! 😍 i love the kneesocks on her too. i feel like i always want to give twyla socks but i don’t want to cover up her shadow wisps … dilemma! also also i feel like you’re right about frankie, it definitely feels like they’re being deprioritized in new lines while draculaura gets a new doll every single time 😔 ok now i’m done adding comments (i think), thank you as always for such a great video!!
Yeah qc has been strange, the Hissfits 3 pack also seems to have been hit with bad qc. Yes I can see the inspo for the earrings now, but in the moment was so puzzled lol I also never want to cover Twyla’s leg wisps but sometimes the look calls for it! Thanks for the very thoughtful comment!
What utter bs with Ghoulia, instantly thought of you right away there only pretending to like her but yet u and i were the ones who likes her, the most im also a g3 collector to, thanks for addressing the situation on Ghoulia.
Yeaaa these curls were way too thick, I’m prob gonna redo them and try for tighter curls. Someone else mentioned separating the curls so I’m def gonna try that!
I understand what u mean about mattel being scared to embrace G3, but with the book and how alot of G1 content isnt reaching as strong as they expect I think G1 should have an actual ending and have them focus on G3, they should also move towards using G3 bodies for the skullectors since they are better quality. And stop making target exclusives
I know, it’s kind of sad because it seems Monster High media, both G1 and G3, is just having a hard time taking off. I want to see these dolls + this brand thrive! The G3 bodies would be great for skullectors, or alumni dolls in general! I feel like the body diversity could allow for such cool design exploration too

@@Spidrick 🖐️ Thank you!!!!
100% Agree 👍
She's almost gone, where I live in El Paso Texas in regards to her SS3 doll on 5 left in stock. So she's selling I don't get it either.

well im european and i found neon fright in store
Poor Ghoulia, its not her fault. I honestly hope she gets some more dolls 🙏 😊
so, dolls that are sold exclusively in certain stores don't sell as well as those highly available everywhere, huh? Gee, who would have thought...

Just unboxed her with you 💜 and yes, easy top 5 G3. It can be so simple sometimes.

I think her earrings are escutchins, (probably spelled that wrong) but the key hole for doors.
Escutcheons 👍 (in my past life I sold doors, frames & hardware 😬)
She's so cute 😊
I love her face! Her makeup is so pretty and I'm so happy they changed her eye and eyebrow shape 💜 Her hands kinda annoy me tho 😭
Yass I was waiting for this!
12:25 her earrings are door nockers 💜
Yay!!!! My break time just got better! 🥰
Thank you for the great detailed video.
Babe wake up, Draculijah just uploaded a new review
Edit: I'm a lil sad bc I never got Ghoulia but her core dolls blonde brows just bother me so bad,,, idk maybe thats a me thing but they just look so off
Repaint! 🥰
The brows have grown on me but them being brown is still strange. Neon Frights Ghoulia has blue brows at least!
@@sharonthompson672 i wanna try but atm my hands are way toooo shakey and i'm too scared ill ruin her, I could honestly deal with the blonde tho xD
@@Draculijah Yesss, and she's cute too tbh,,, maybe ill feel differently about them in person lol

I'd have broken up the curls earlier on. It makes them lighter and hold better and the hair looks fuller.
Yeaaa these curls were way too thick, I’m prob gonna redo them and try for tighter curls. Someone else mentioned separating the curls so I’m def gonna try that!
random but are you planning to get the g3 school? i would love to see your review on it :3
I wish, but I don’t have the space for it!! It’s so cool but very big and bulky
The game she has i think its Dungeons and dragons in monster high
I understand what u mean about mattel being scared to embrace G3, but with the book and how alot of G1 content isnt reaching as strong as they expect I think G1 should have an actual ending and have them focus on G3, they should also move towards using G3 bodies for the skullectors since they are better quality.

I think Ghoulia and the brains are too much for kids. I don’t like it as an adult so I can imagine how much more it is for kids.
