I think we’re going to keep getting “G2” style dolls in play sets- and not just because of budget. Play sets don’t typically sell as well with adult collectors, but young kids often want them. Young kids also have horrible fashion taste, at least by teen and up standards. What they typically want is bright blocks of vibrant colors, repetitive imagery, and character faces (like the emoji dress). I’m pretty sure Mattel is trying to keep a wide breadth of potential buyer demographics this time with G3 by keeping that portfolio diverse. And I’m fine with that personally. For every Draculaura food truck we get Scary Sweet 1600s AND the G1 purists get collectors (albeit, at horrific prices)
This playset feels like it could be in the iCarly set like- I know doll that comes with playsets are generally meh, the only one i remember loving was Madeline Hatter from the Tea Party set.
Well this is.... something... but surprisingly, I'm starting to rapidly warm up to it, and now I like it. The whole printed-on dress reminds me of the g2 emoji dresses, and for some reason, I REALLY like it. And tho it's just a simple ponytail, I really REALLY like the pink, black, and blue streaks.
@Courtly_Jester Oops. I knew that and meant no offense. They're my favorite character and I think my brain correlated that doll with the G2 Frankie I was talking about so that happened.
i dont entierly hate the doll but i know this will be a 40-45 dollar set so because of that i kinda hate this. the sets a cool idea tho and I hope it means that they will bring back a lot more creative lines with g3.
Actually so livid. They are treating Frankie like crap this generation. They have had few to no releases compared to Drac and Clawdeen, there's almost no pack releases for them, they had 0 character development in season 1 of the show (still watching s2 so can't speak on that yet) and also nothing in the movies. This could have been the perfect Gen to actually show Clawdeen and Frankie's friendship considering Drac was lowkey rude and evil 1st half of 1st movie, but instead they've been pushed to the side for a sequel that is now never coming. I think that Frankie is so freaking cute this Gen, and the fact that they continue pushing Drac releases when it seems they have 0 idea for her and are just mass producing her cuz she's the fave kills me. Speaking logically Frankie should have gotten a ghoul mobile release. There is absolutely no reason that claw and drac get 2 packs with that car when Frankie isn't getting anything. It absolutely kills me inside that Frankie one of the main 3 characters has practically become a prominent side character. (When I say 0 development I mean that they only have relationship stuff going on S1, in the movies we had little to no mention of their friendship with the other 2 and instead of being able to have a serious heart to heart with either of their beasties, they feel they have to go to Duece to talk...) I love Frankie and I feel like they Def could have given them some storyline, even if they wanted to stick with Clankie storyline give us an episode where Frankie realizes their feelings.
This took a minute to write, but someone had to say it. I really hope that Mattel will eventually give Frankie the attention they've severely lacked this generation!
What’s your top 5 favorite Monster High g1 doll packaging like box designs that are so iconic and you always think about that would be a fun video and you could do it with other doll lines you collect
Her hair is giving more Abbey colors than Frankie, I think it’s just the way they did it, but it doesn’t look right 😆 This is the first of the 3 new teased things I am going to skip out on
Their hair is sick BUT THE HIGH BUDGET PONY TAIL IS NOT IT. They gave budget dolls any hair BUT THE HIGH PONYTAIL. I wish their outfit was more lab like and the neon yellow jacket is really ugly 💀
I love Scary Sweet Birthday Frankie g3 better the only thing I love about this playset that is Frankie‘s shoes, and the overall like playset itself and the pets
honestly if the lab coat or the dress changed it would be better (im ignoring the hair) like the individual pieces are cute but they dont work together
They are giving Electrified Frankie vibes, which makes me want to crimp their hair. IDK I don't hate them; I won't pay full price for them, and the make a pet stuff would be gifted to my niece, but I could see myself having fun restyling this Frankie a bit before adding them to my army of Frankie dolls.
Ah! I was refreshing YouLoveIt all day... like a fool. Shoulda been lurking on Insta. Frankie looks like a MH doll that came with a playset, which is to say bad. But, y'all, I'm kinda here for the silly little pets and the furniture piece. I have the taste of a 5 year old I guess lol
Incoming contrary opinion. I really like the Frankie doll and think this high pony slays. I can't wait to get my hands on this play set and the build-a-pet aspect and hope they release blind bags or packs with accessories to build even more pets. Yes, I know I'm weird. :)
Okay hear me out… they wanted you to KNOW that this doll was for this play set the color of the shoes, stethoscope, and hair match. Painfully but match
I hate this Frankie, not trying to be mean it’s just it would look so much better if it had a different dress, a different hairstyle and a different lipstick in a different pair of shoes
In my opinion, the new dolls for g3 will be splitted into two groups - in the first group the will be clearly marked toward adults with good quality and fierce designs and the second group for kids. And I actually think it is good, because Rainbow high was depening just on adults and it semms like it hasn´t worked. So g3 is trying to do something for both
I hate that coat it looks cheap which kinda makes sense as it’s a play set but in a bad way and I hate that green as it be making her look like a emo lime that looks infected
Probably an unpopular opinion but I don’t care for G3 Frankie. I prefer the old Frankie. This one 2:03 is the Temu of Frankie dolls. Mattel what are you doing ?
just give us welcome committee frankie please I'm begging, I haven't bought a g3 Frankie yet because welcome committee has been the first one I liked enough to want to buy TwT (skulltimate 1 and fearidescent were good too tbf but way too expensive for a doll I can't see the face of) Anyways if this set does come with an electric chair that's crazy. I might try to find someone selling just the chair piece because a doll sized electric chair is really funny to me. In a horrible morbid way.
i actually really like this frankie except for the hair being poly, i know i’m in the minority 😆 i would never wear the over the top clashing neon ensemble but i think it suits frankie some of the time. iirc the boots are reused from the latin america budget doll, i’m not mad about that since i don’t own that doll. kids apparently love pets according to market research so i think this set could do well if it’s the right price. i might get it on sale to play with my nephew, he’s 6 and definitely intrigued by all of the monster high pets.
Not a bad Frankie X3 man Ss6,scary sweet birthday,and this They really need to make abbey the main blue doll or bring back robecca The shoes are re used the glasses are probably fear book abbey's reused the stethoscope thing is probably a Barbie mold the jacket is a re used one I really hate how much pink they are actually starting to use pink on them too every doll recently they got have sm pink
While this is another g3 MH line that I would definitely skip, at least Mattel is also releasing excellent lines, like the upcoming 1600 birthday dolls with Cupid and the others. Plus, even their cheap playset lines still have wrist articulations. I wished MGA would learn this from Mattel regarding their RH dolls.
This is on par with that early Sports themed 6 pack 😂 I didn't think that set could be beat in terms of the doll quality/ugliness for g3, but this Franklin is a strong offender …
Like. Why can't they just use a real lab coat like gen 1 ?At least they had like a real mad science look And they played into it with cleo and ghoulia I am surprised they didn't do Frankie to begin with.they are made from science !!!
they’re violently ugly but this is clearly more for the kids so i’m not gonna get too pressed about fashion choices. man that high pony is ruinous though LOL
As an adult with somewhat an eye for fashion… 😬. As someone who got into MH as a kid, I LOVE it. I can see how kids would like this and as someone else in the comments said, I think that’s the aim here. Especially since collectors don’t buy playsets.
Whenever I see that high ponytail on Frankie I get anxiety 😭
Fr I get flashbacks from G2 electrified 💀
At least wrap a piece of hair around it. I do that to all my dolls with high ponies.
like why not give her the G1 style where its only half up in the front ?
@Gerald-i2d More dolls should have half up hairstyles it's so versatile.
@@catfreak613 i thought the same 😂
Let’s all close our eyes for a moment and pretend this never happened
Mattel saw G3 winning and then brought G2 back
omg and you can tell from how the ponytail is laying that it’s poly😭
True
So true😭 they need to stop with the poly ponytails..💔
Yesterday I bought my first 3 Monster High Dolls🤗. I’m starting to collect them and I’m so excited 🥹
I think we’re going to keep getting “G2” style dolls in play sets- and not just because of budget.

Honetsly most kids nowadays actually hate cringey and ugly patterns like that. Most children just wair basic clothes
@ Depends on the child’s age! Tweens and teens, absolutely, but the real youngins still go feral for any mash of colors and pattern mashed together.
This playset feels like it could be in the iCarly set like-
I know doll that comes with playsets are generally meh, the only one i remember loving was Madeline Hatter from the Tea Party set.
Oh my god Maddie mentioned
THE PETS LOOK SO FREAKING CUTE IN THE STOCK PHOTOS
It looks so G2 😭
my thoughts exactly
Why people
No
@@Umathefirst-y9o I'm not wrong it looks like the science frankie playset
all the Neon takes it back to 2012 🤭💀
Well this is.... something... but surprisingly, I'm starting to rapidly warm up to it, and now I like it. The whole printed-on dress reminds me of the g2 emoji dresses, and for some reason, I REALLY like it. And tho it's just a simple ponytail, I really REALLY like the pink, black, and blue streaks.
If I saw this for $9.99 at Burlington Coat Factory I still wouldn't buy it.
i think the shoe sculpt is the same as welcome committee frankie
which was also used for that non US budget frankie too!
Idkw but for some reason I love this doll and want it HELP
She looks like the Frankie from that G2 playset with Draculaura. But honestly I thought that one was kinda cute, so might snag it if it goes on sale.
Frankie uses they/them in g3 ^^
@Courtly_Jester Oops. I knew that and meant no offense. They're my favorite character and I think my brain correlated that doll with the G2 Frankie I was talking about so that happened.
I think the shoes are reused from the patterned budget g3 dolls
They are, it's from the Monsteristas line but in hot pink
i dont entierly hate the doll but i know this will be a 40-45 dollar set so because of that i kinda hate this. the sets a cool idea tho and I hope it means that they will bring back a lot more creative lines with g3.
honestly the only decent piece is that transparent coat. maybe it could be good for a neon frights restyle but the rest of this doll.. lord.
Actually so livid. They are treating Frankie like crap this generation.

The critters are cute....
Did the usual designer have a rest day or something
Oh the poly is definitely polying!!
What’s your top 5 favorite Monster High g1 doll packaging like box designs that are so iconic and you always think about that would be a fun video and you could do it with other doll lines you collect
Not me thinking that the image of the elephant was going to be a stock photo of a elephant toy from the movie
I'm a sucker for pets 😑 I think a lot of kids like them too...poor Frankie that hair is hairing...lol 😂
Thats The poliest polipropeline hair that ever polied' you can even see those Pink streaks, are The SAME they put on that foodtruck Draculaura 👀
Also, this is it, this is Frankie's first bad doll 🤷♂️
Outfit wise Frankie isn’t that bad, kinda bland but not awful, that hair and the accessories on the other hand, they are atrocious.
Pets are cute at least…… OMG I hate you for putting that ugly elephant in the video😂
I like reminding people of the scary Barbie elephant
I’m not a fan of Frankie’s hairstyle but the rest of the doll and play set itself is cute.
Her hair is giving more Abbey colors than Frankie, I think it’s just the way they did it, but it doesn’t look right 😆 This is the first of the 3 new teased things I am going to skip out on
Frankie place. It looks so fun. I’m gonna buy it when it comes out on the first day.🎉# I love G3 Frankie ❤
So... Scary sweet birthday Frankie came back from the party hungover and got dressed... Like this? I do not know... It's tacky even for children 😂
g2 had a frankie doll with a similar concept to this and i'd want it over this frankie any day
Her hair color looks like Abbey Bominable (G1)
Their hair is sick BUT THE HIGH BUDGET PONY TAIL IS NOT IT. They gave budget dolls any hair BUT THE HIGH PONYTAIL. I wish their outfit was more lab like and the neon yellow jacket is really ugly 💀
I love Scary Sweet Birthday Frankie g3 better the only thing I love about this playset that is Frankie‘s shoes, and the overall like playset itself and the pets
It's giving electrified Frankie
High ponytail Frankie, instantly reminds me of electrify Frankie…..
i swear for a minute it thought it was g2 collector doll 😭💀
Frankie becomes a puppy mill owner
honestly if the lab coat or the dress changed it would be better (im ignoring the hair) like the individual pieces are cute but they dont work together
As much as I love Frankie, this doll is a letdown. It looks more like a prototype and not in a good way. I think I'll pass.
They are giving Electrified Frankie vibes, which makes me want to crimp their hair. IDK I don't hate them; I won't pay full price for them, and the make a pet stuff would be gifted to my niece, but I could see myself having fun restyling this Frankie a bit before adding them to my army of Frankie dolls.
Also I don't think it's an emoji dress. Zooming in it looks like a honeycomb pattern. Kinda random for Frankie, but also kinda cute.
Ah! I was refreshing YouLoveIt all day... like a fool. Shoulda been lurking on Insta. Frankie looks like a MH doll that came with a playset, which is to say bad. But, y'all, I'm kinda here for the silly little pets and the furniture piece. I have the taste of a 5 year old I guess lol

Okay hear me out… they wanted you to KNOW that this doll was for this play set the color of the shoes, stethoscope, and hair match. Painfully but match
The shoe sculpt is from monsteristas and welcome committee
Forehead on SWOLE MODE 😭😭😭
First G3 Frankie flop, it had to happen eventually. All the other main ghouls have flopped more than once so it was time for Frankie to follow.
Oof the hair looks poly and that outfit ......ew
I hate this Frankie, not trying to be mean it’s just it would look so much better if it had a different dress, a different hairstyle and a different lipstick in a different pair of shoes
One of the budget dolls had those boots, I think the south American one but not sure and Welcome Committee Frankie also.
In my opinion, the new dolls for g3 will be splitted into two groups - in the first group the will be clearly marked toward adults with good quality and fierce designs and the second group for kids. And I actually think it is good, because Rainbow high was depening just on adults and it semms like it hasn´t worked. So g3 is trying to do something for both
I like to think this frankie is single-handedly the only thing saving us from an awful Sweet 1600 line.
Frankie is one of my favorite characters but this doll looks ugly
That hair looks poly...
I hate that coat it looks cheap which kinda makes sense as it’s a play set but in a bad way and I hate that green as it be making her look like a emo lime that looks infected
I won't be getting it. Looks g2. Thank you for the video ❤❤
this frankie is an absolute pass for me
Nooooo g2 is back😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮💔
Probably an unpopular opinion but I don’t care for G3 Frankie. I prefer the old Frankie.
This one 2:03 is the Temu of Frankie dolls. Mattel what are you doing ?
just give us welcome committee frankie please I'm begging, I haven't bought a g3 Frankie yet because welcome committee has been the first one I liked enough to want to buy TwT (skulltimate 1 and fearidescent were good too tbf but way too expensive for a doll I can't see the face of)
Anyways if this set does come with an electric chair that's crazy. I might try to find someone selling just the chair piece because a doll sized electric chair is really funny to me. In a horrible morbid way.
Hubiera estado padre que está fuese una muñeca de Ghoulia 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

kids apparently love pets according to market research so i think this set could do well if it’s the right price. i might get it on sale to play with my nephew, he’s 6 and definitely intrigued by all of the monster high pets.
Not a bad Frankie X3 man
Ss6,scary sweet birthday,and this
They really need to make abbey the main blue doll or bring back robecca
The shoes are re used the glasses are probably fear book abbey's reused the stethoscope thing is probably a Barbie mold the jacket is a re used one
I really hate how much pink they are actually starting to use pink on them too every doll recently they got have sm pink
While this is another g3 MH line that I would definitely skip, at least Mattel is also releasing excellent lines, like the upcoming 1600 birthday dolls with Cupid and the others.

This is on par with that early Sports themed 6 pack 😂 I didn't think that set could be beat in terms of the doll quality/ugliness for g3, but this Franklin is a strong offender …
I like the lab coat. I wish I liked everything else about Frankie, lol.
I love the pets!!!
G2 influence is real
i came to comment “first” and was sorely disappointed
What in the world, happened to her the pets are cute though but im gonna pass on this.
I feel the same, I do not like the shoes, the clothes, the hairstyle, the pets, Frankie is the more pretty cool dude, what happened this time?
Yeah... Indefensible. I can't see myself buying this one.
The G2 lab playset ate them up 💀
This set is meh. But when I see it at Ross for $19.99, I will scream with excitement, buy it, and love it.💙
After the birthday Frankie. This looks awful. What the hell.
I like white white hair on Frankie versus yellowy.
The yellow twinge means it’s Saran so I prefer good, long lasting hair over poly even if it’s whiter
Tbh i know the shoes are reused from her latin american exclusive monsteristas doll lmaoo
Like.
Why can't they just use a real lab coat like gen 1 ?At least they had like a real mad science look And they played into it with cleo and ghoulia I am surprised they didn't do Frankie to begin with.they are made from science !!!
This Frankie is so boring. The set is cute. My kids might like it
they’re violently ugly but this is clearly more for the kids so i’m not gonna get too pressed about fashion choices. man that high pony is ruinous though LOL
It’s a cool concept but this looks too much like g2
I mean it's that tiny pink chair. It's targeted to little kids in many ways. The pets are meh. #hardpass
As an adult with somewhat an eye for fashion… 😬. As someone who got into MH as a kid, I LOVE it. I can see how kids would like this and as someone else in the comments said, I think that’s the aim here. Especially since collectors don’t buy playsets.
Not g3 having their first flop doll
