So,before I became an RH/SH collector,I collected Monster High for a long time. I was waiting for Monster High to come back for a long time,when suddenly they leaked.
Dolltwt was like this when the leaks,the stock photos from SHS1 came:
(Great times)
I was in love. My dark and shadowy heart was happy. Okay,I didn’t liked Ash and some of the second looks from other dolls. But I was so happy to see them. They are soooooo nice.
However,because I did not had money and because I was feeling bad because of Isaac Larian’s controversies,I didn’t started collecting RH until I got Hali last year and Mila and Harper this year. Then I won an raffle and I got Nicole. I am mesmerized having her.
Shadow High first series is really great. I would change some things,like the snake skin dress and pants and Luna first outfit and the second look’s jacket and taking Nicole’s jacket,but it is really good,taking these,for me.
Shadow High second series is also great. While in color’s order it’s not as cohesive and some looks are questionable for me (cough,cough, Dia’s whole look. I know, it’s Rihanna look,but I do not like the combination at all),and the lack of second looks ,it is,undeniable that the line is really strong and consistent. I love this series.
Also,I got Glitch some time ago. She really is worth everything. Mesmerizing. Unique. Elegant. She is so stunning. I adore her. And I am really satisfied with my collection for now.
Now,SHS3… The clothes look very high quality. But I don’t know. Scarlet looks pretty,but her outfit is meh. Lavender,Berry and the pink one are pretty too,but they feel… bland. Rosie is Rosie. And the boy is pretty,but I don’t collect doll boys. I hope that the boys who adore doll boys love him unconditionelly and be mesmerized by the details and the amazing base he is.
I do not think of getting them,as I am satisfied with my collection for now. Maybe Berry
But I hope everyone likes this post.
With love,Piaf <3
I feel about the same as you! I kinda wish s3 was fashion and accessory packs, instead of full dolls.
I agree!
I wish they did this too,or at least,give some new silhouettes for their clothes.
Why make an skirt with CDs on it instead of new shoes and good acessories ?
Maybe cargo pants or low waist jeans would be nice
I rarely collect shadow high because I’m a pastel rainbow kind of girl but I got Zooey Electra because I thought the fantasy skin tone was so cute with the alien theme. I just got Berrie Skies yesterday and omg she’s amazing!
That is amazing! I am happy for you!
I completely understand your thoughts on S3 of Shadow High! I convinced myself I wasn’t getting any as I already had Heather from S1, Veronica, and Karla from S2. Then I fell in love with the little “gamer girl parody” that is Pinkie James and now have her. But I agree…the rest, while improved faces, still feel bland. I don’t want them to become fully colored, I loved the black and white or grey scale from the first doll set!
I have half of SHS1, Ash was my first ( I love boy dolls), then I saw a ton of pictures of Nicole in soft pink and I was sold on her too. I got Heather to steal her eyes, but I ended up keeping her as she is. Now I am keeping an eye out for good prices on the other 3.
SHS2 was hit or miss for me, Rex was the first doll i bought and he is Stunning in person ( he convinced me that I wanted Chanelle). I saw Glitch in the store and it was instant love. I got home and realized she has the same face mold as Simone, my absolute favorite doll in the whole franchise). Picked up Zooey on deep sale and haven’t regretted it (she looks awesome in pale pink too). I’m surprised I don’t like the purple girls, purple is my favorite color, but it is what it is. I really dislike Karl Lagerfeld, so Karla was a no go for me.
SHS3 – is not working for me. I got Oliver ( he looks beautiful with his hair down). But none of the other dolls do much for me. I’m kinda interested in Scarlet’s base doll, but her clothes are a grave disappointment to me. The rest of the dolls don’t appeal to me (maybe when I see some restyles, I might get more interested in them)
