I, too, am bothered. I really like the new MH faces and don't mind the more anime looking eyes, but seeing the rest of it now...yeesh. Talk about ghetto generic. Looks like a Family Dollar line. Freaking mini-dresses galore, no interesting hair or accessories, the stupid non-articulated arms, garbage themes like "plastic locker with 3 crap items", the weird "here's a little pet included, but nothing else" and just...yeah, the cheap blandness of it all. Ugh and I HATE the molded tights/bodices on dolls. Have since I was a little kid. And if that shipwrecked line is the one they put the money/effort into...God help us all.
EAH, I'm slightly hopeful for? I do like the face upgrades, so they don't all have the same pumpkin-head anymore. I like the panted Dragon games line, but isn't that sad that it sticks out so much JUST because they have pants and look badass? Why can't we have more lines in both this and EAH? Even the box says Princess kicking butt or something, but the ones I see around are them in frilly dresses with oven mitts. I can't even distinguish half the lines or characters when I see them on the shelves. So, I guess we'll see.
Haha, as usual, I seem to be in the minority with AG in that I really like Lea's collection, but am lukewarm on the doll. Though, if they are going to continue with the $30+ price point on the island wear, then yeah, I'm not sure that's going to be worth it. I highly doubt they'll compensate with accessories or anything. So, I'll probably be waiting for her stuff to go on sale. Doll, too, unless the RL pictures really wow me in the next few days.
I'll have to check out the princess dolls when I can leave the house again. I pretty much just glaze over that aisle since it's never anything I'm interested in. Even my love of Merida can't overcome those awful doll designs.
