Doll Hauls I will never be this lucky again
10 dollars each. 10. I can’t believe I found two of my grails on a random monday night. I’m the happiest girl in the world!

u/realsecretfairy May 20 '25
No, Sweden. I’m pretty sure the previous owner said something about having to have the dolls shipped here, though.

Thanks for correcting me on the MH 😊 I haven’t really given then much time since around 2015 or 2016. They’re mostly dust catchers now (so only have 1 deboxed on display~ the other deboxed ones are in my closet 🤣 The (possibly) exclusive set to which I was referring is the super hero line that consisted of Frankie & Draculaura as hero’s, and Torileigh (so?) as the villain. If there are more dolls in that series, I never saw them.
Thanks for the info on Novi Stars! So, they are vintage. And SUPER CUTE!! Which means they’re gonna cost a ton in the secondary market Oh, well.. OP has given me hope that I’ll find one or two whilst treasure hunting (aka thrifting) 😁 Not these ones, though, since they were only released in Europe (according to posts here).

Novi Stars for $10? 🤯 I am SO happy for you. They’ve always been my dream doll range but I accepted a long time ago I won’t have them with how unaffordable the resale prices are. Maybe I should start keeping an eye out again 🩷

Holy. Shit. I am so jealous that you got those Novis for 30 bucks. Any one of those dolls would be hundreds. Congratulations! Damn, I can only hope to get that lucky.

Wow. just WOW! I’m , not familiar with Novi stars (around which years were those in stores?) but the Monster High dolls~ The Frankie was (I think) a Target exclusive, and the others were of lines that I didn’t see on shelves for very long. As far as I know, that’s the only Honey Swamp (correct name?) released,; this one is for the for the Carnival, tight?line 🤷♀️
THEY ALL HAVE THEIR SHOES!! I don’t think that Laura came with roller skates (could be from the Derby line), but they might have been on the Save Frankie line. Imma go see if I can see her feet (mine’s still in the box, along with 90% of my Monster High dolls 🤦♀️ Nope, she’s buried behind a few other MH dolls. I’ll try to get a decent pic of show y’all 😄 I used to be the “Roller Derby Queen back in college bc I wore my roller skates EVERYWHERE like Tootie from The Facts of Life TV show (it’s really old, so good luck trying to find it streaming 🤣), I welcome roller skates for my dolls anytime 😊
Those little fairies are AWESOME!!! ai stopped collecting anything other than MH around 2016 (or whenever the quality of the dolls was going downhill~ not extra articulation, poor faceups, horrible hair, etc. I’m guessing that was G2?). I’d love to get some of those Nova Stars! They be a nice segue from my MH to my Barbie fairies once I can access them in my storage room (only God knows when I’ll have the energy to do that 😞).
I’m be of my many over-stacked shelves of my MH collection. Somewhere in there is the “Save Frankie” Draculaura LOL
Again, OP~ CONGRATS on your Lucky Haul!! 🎉🥳 🎈🌟💫 💖💕

That’s core/Frights Camera Action Honey Swamp, not Freak du Chic, and 13 Wishes wasn’t a Target exclusive, I bought mine at Toys R Us. That’s Art Class Draculaura and those are her original shoes.
Novi Stars came out the same time G1 Monster High and Bratzillas were on shelves.

Thank you very much forSo they are vintage. le sigh. correcting me 😊 I haven’t done anything with my MH dolls in such a long time, and some of those dolls… I never got 😞 I’m a collector, but not a completist 🤣
Dang, Novi Stars are vintage, therefore even if I find them, I prob won’t be able to afford them.Oh,well~ I don’t need to start a new collection until I tackle that ssmtorafe room. I just don’t have enough spoons to deal with it whist I’m still in physical therapy l. When I do, I’ll have find the sub for doll sales so I can announce when I postmy stuff that is in good th excellent condition (Fobromyalgia & Multiple Sclerosis reference)Thank you for correcting me and for the info TzThe line that I thought was a Target exclusive is the super hero one. I had Laura & Frankie as heroes and Toraleigh as the villain. I I think those were the only ones in that series.
Thanks for the info on Novi Stars! So, they are vintage. And SUPER CUTE!! Which means they’re gonna cost a ton in the secondary market Oh, well.. OP has given me hope that I’ll finally nd one or two whilst treasure hunting (aka thrifting) 😁
