 Very Cool Doll!Jul 07, 2010
By B. Ritter
"Petercrissgirl72"
My daughter just bought 2 different Monster High Dolls....She has been playing with them for hours and loves them! She was never into Bratz or Barbies etc...but these dolls she likes because of the spooky theme. The arms people are complaining about are meant to be removed with ease so that the clothes can be changed. She has not had a problem with them being too loose, just right. I hope they will come out with some other outfits or even expand the doll characters. Overall, so far I would recommend these dolls, they are really unique and display nicely for collectors as well.

 Great idea...Poor ExecutionSep 11, 2010
By J. Hottle
"Zoe's Mom"
My 7 year old LOVES these dolls. I'll have to admit that they are WAY cooler than the typical Barbie. This line of products even has my daughter reading the new "Monster High" novel, which is well above her reading level, but she's reading the book every night anyway, so I gave the doll three stars for its "educational value".
The complaints about the arms, however, are right on the mark. My daughter took Frankie Stein to school in her backpack, and the arm fell off somewhere between the bus and home, and is now missing for good. She received the Cleo DeNile and Deuce Gorgon set as a gift, and Cleo's arm fell off and got lost THE VERY NEXT DAY. We now have two Monster High dolls with one missing arm each. Luckily I was able to convince my daughter that mummies and Frankenstein monsters lose limbs all the time, and that their amputations only make them more convincing!
I called Mattel's customer service line, and they don't offer replacement limbs, nor do they consider a loose limb a defect, so they won't replace or exchange a damaged doll. So if you do manage to lose a limb, you're out of luck!

 Daughters love these dolls!Aug 17, 2010
By E.Kelley
As a monster movie fan, I fell in love with these dolls at first sight and my daughters were not far behind me. After a couple weeks of the girls working for their future purchase, I bought Frankie Stein and Draculara for them. They could not be happier! They are super cute dolls and I find the detachable hands and arms very helpful. We have not had issues with the body parts just falling off (and that is even after my youngest child has gotten ahold of them a few times in the past couple weeks).
I hope they come out with new characters and start stocking the shelves a little better. Our local Targets are already sold out!

 MATTEL RETHINK DESIGN!Oct 11, 2010
By Heather Wilson
These dolls are the cutest dolls ever - but I have had 2 dolls fall completely apart within an hour of being out of their box. Now, I understand that the arms are meant to disconnect and we have had no problems with that at all. The problem we have had is that the legs of the dolls are held together with a gold elastic band between the body. This elastic, if not assembled properly, becomes pinched in the plastic of the doll and movement of the dolls legs breaks the elastic piece by piece until the dolls legs fall completely off and there is no fix for this! It does not matter how gentle you are with the doll - if the elastic was pinched in the plastic when it was made then the doll WILL break. I have called Mattel twice about this problem and recommend any other mother who has had a problem with these dolls legs breaking off to call them as well. My girls are older and within the recommended age limits for this set of dolls. The issue is a manufacturing error and Mattel needs to redesign. An elastic piece holding a dolls legs together is poor and cheap design and needs to go back to the drawing board.

Very cool doll, but not really for young children who play roughJul 09, 2010
By Tabitha Few

I am an adult doll collector, and I LOVE the Monster high dolls. They are adorable and strange, and very poseable. Yes, they do come apart (some articulated dolls do...I've got several 27cm obitsu dolls as well that do the same thing, albeit with 'tighter' joints). I think that they were probably aiming for an older audience (preteen maybe?) with these toys. The joints could be a little less loose, and they definitely need to put out a Ghoulia doll (maybe more clothes as well for the characters). But all in all, I think the dolls are wonderful, and quite appropriate for girls who play carefully instead of dragging the poor toy around by the hair or a limb through the dirt. Like with all things, one really needs to use common sense when purchasing toys for younger children. If it has small parts, probably not for them.
