Tried so hard to resist... But it was futile!! The collection so far....
I mean, I really like them and i feel they are a fun collection to have... Still, i was not looking to start a new collection.. And from all the photos I have seen online, FB, and fellow vinyl collectors - i knew it is a massive line...
But that was just it... With each photo I saw, I was a step closer to breaking down.. But for a bit I was safe as they were nowhere to be found in Taiwan... And the ones I saw in The Philippines were outrageously priced.. I mean between $35 to $4US each... Yowza!!!
I do not understand how things could be charged like so - not only double the prices, but triple!!! Of course, I passed...
Then I saw a Taiwanese collector friend, Rika Lai, post her MH purchases from Costco, Taiwan - of course, I inquired right away.... Not only a few made it to Taiwan, they were priced almost the same as the US retail,.. A few days later, I have my first three!!! Above Photo: Spectra Vondergeist, Operetta & LaGoona Blue
While at TRU one night with Juju, I decided to walk around the Dolly area and lo and behold, they had a few in stock... Decided to pick up this Frankie Stein, as she is just too cool.. With a push of a button, she lights up!!!!
Then a care package arrive from the Bay Area and Voila! Franklin got me a 4 of them!!! L to R: Ghoulia, Operetta, Skelita & Howleen...
My Fave so far... Hard to choose 1 Fave between these two: Operetta & Skelita... Operetta is pretty in all her incarnations... She is actually my Fave from the get go... But seeing Skelita in person with her Skeletal Body, she is coming in a close 2nd! Happily there is only one Skelita so far but I am already missing at least 2 other Operetta. Haiiiis...
...and of course one must have at least one mail doll, i picked up the only mail available in Taipei: Deuce Gorgon!
So I have 9 so far with 1 more waiting to ship in the US... And with my BDay just around the corner, it might just be a Monster High year for me... Keep them coming guys n gals.... :). LOL!
