Monster High Black and White Collector Doll

Pros: This has to be one of Mattel’s best Monster High designs to date. Amazing detail from the clothing right down to the box. She’s absolutely stunning to see in person. I’d say she’s worth her price, some will feel differently and that’d valid. Each individual piece of the outfit is crafted with attention to detail and amazing fabrics. The hair looks amazing even *in box*!! She’s perfect for display if you don’t want to remove her, poses and photographs beautifully if you do.Cons: In the future for exclusive releases I’d like to see a little more planning put in place between Mattel/Monster High and Amazon. Some customers had the ability to select shipping in an amazon box; others did not have the option and some even had the doll sent with no packaging, labels stickered to the doll’s box itself and ruining collector value. When I called customer support, they had no idea how to tell if my preorder would come with the outer box or not.Myself and SEVERAL other customers experienced issues with receiving damaged boxes and being told this was not a means for refund. Some boxes came in tissue wrapping; mine came with some of the tape on the top sliced or otherwise peeled, with traces of said tissue paper left behind. Due to this, the box is not pristine. It also has several dents, smudges and finger prints that won’t buff out, a few tears in the cardboard, and one tab was completely removed. While this is not an issue for me personally as an Out Of Box collector, I still think this is disappointing from a collector’s perspective, especially with it being a limited release and store exclusive with very little availability for replacements.

This doll is gorgeous. A lot of care went into her design and creation. The doll is full of details. The hair is well styled. I appreciate that she has glitter makeup and rooted eyelashes as it drives her apart from the general play line.It is unfortunate that you cannot see the hairpiece and shoes whilst she is boxed, especially since they are both very detailed. There is some dust on the doll's face (hardly noticeable until you look very close) and sections of the caged skirt have not been removed/weeded properly. Other than these minor details she is in wonderful condition and the dress is beautifully made with so much detail.There are some minor quality control issues, from what I can see whilst the doll is boxed.The box itself makes for a wonderful display with the doll. Unfortunately mine has a slight indent, but it is hardly noticeable.She was delivered with care and well packaged.

At first I was kinda iffy about the pricepoint, but boy am I glad I decided to get her after all. Not just bcs the resell prices for this doll are insane but mostly bcs this doll is PHENOMENAL, Words can't describe how beautiful and detailed both the doll and the box are!!! And quality is amazzng aswell, definitely worth that 100 dollar price tag, cause this may easily be one of the best, if not the best Monster High doll ever! If you're smart Mattel make more dolls like this!!!! Bcs I don't mind paying a bit more then 75 dollars if collector dolls are all on this level

Was lucky enough to snag this doll at a slightly discounted price from the Amazon warehouse offer. It shipped super-quickly which was a nice surprise as I don't have Prime.Of course, because it was an Amazon warehouse deal, I figured it was likely a return, and thus expected some box damage. There was; the top of the box was smashed, a drink had been spilled on the back, and there was quite a lot of sticker residue on the front, which covered the window that shows the doll...so she had to be unboxed. However, I'm an OOB collector so I did not mind having to unbox her at all...so if you're like me and like to unbox your dolls, and you'd like to save a little $$$ (as this doll is EXPENSIVE), if you see an option to buy a discounted return it may be worth it. Despite the severe box damage, the doll was in perfect condition...and she's all that matters to me.Anyway, as other reviews have said, this doll is gorgeous! Draculaura is my most-collected MH character and this is easily my favorite doll she's gotten. If you're able to get her, she's definitely worth it...she's beautiful and detailed and just a lovely piece for collectors!

I just received my Draculaura and she’s so beautiful🥹 I think she’s taken #1 as my favorite. As much as my wallet has been bled for this one, I absolutely love her. I thought it’d take an eternity for her come in since Amazon keeps taking down their listing but she flew in super fast after putting in my order. I think $100 is high ENOUGH, so keep an eye out on Amazon’s listing. Patience is key against the scalpers unless you’re willing and able to spend more. I wish she cost less so everyone can have the chance to collect her.I typically get two, one in box and one out for display; here’s where my qualms come in. One doll is absolutely perfect, godsend and the box is mostly perfect, BUT a portion of the back is ripped right off. Meanwhile, my other doll has her right hand upside down, dress off center and a few hairs floating upwards, while the box is a lot better than my other but a few dents due to shipping and part of one tape isn’t fully adhered on the top. So, I’m grateful to be in a place to have been able to slightly afford and have two, as well as having nearly perfect dolls come in. I’m just a little peeved. This is my first collectors MH doll and again I’m grateful for the dolls I have but everyone deserves 100% perfect dolls and boxes every time for how much we’re investing into these brands and collections.I’m sure Mattel and Amazon could have worked out having each doll have an extra protective layer for shipments, either a box or maybe even bubble bumpers or ethical packing peanuts.
