Am i the crazy one? Yes they’re not articulated, that’s because they’re a cheaper option for families to afford (unless you’re nordic like me), you can body swap them. Yes the outfits are one piece, it’s an easy way to learn to sew a seam after you cut it into two pieces, (i need to do that.) Yes they’re blind boxes, so why are we critizising the doll itself for it? If we’re just talking looks wise. As for the poly hair, a lot of dolls have poly hair yet these guys are consistently below them anyway.

BUT THE FACES??? Gorgous, amazing, no notes.

Plus despite being quite uniform, the outfits still show personality, with Clawdeen the fashionistas (?) pattern reminding me of Louis vuitton

All the issues are very fixable and are there for good reason and yet i see no one talking about these being some of the best faces we’ve gotten. I understand not everyone likes every doll but i was just curious on the seemingly-universal hate for their face-ups and maybe outfits in particular.

Frankly i find the EU-exclusive budget dolls like actually ugly and lacking effort the way budget dolls usually do, especially the Draculaura, but they get a lot of love here.

I even watched a ranking video for dolls this year and they put all of buried secrets at the bottom and i just….why? Someone explain please.

P.s. As a G1 Clawdeen lover and G3 Clawdeen hater, this one and Hountlywood (apart from the box hair) have been the only ones up to my Clawdeen-standards, and thus make me love her even more

Also, in case you don’t like Frankies shorts, look how cool they look with gray pants and a kind of colourful boxers under jeans look-a-la-Musa from Winx club!

No hate to anyone ofc! Just wondering after i came across the only buried secrets appriciation post in the world :D

What’s with the buried secrets (esp new scaremester) hate?
