Ever After High™ Royal Dolls

How is it that Mattel can produce fully articulated dolls on a massive scale for the Monster High and Ever After High dolls and yet they stick with the stilted model pose on their fashion dolls?

Here are the new  Ever After High™ Royal Dolls. I haven't been following the line but I believe these were the first to be released. They look less monstrous :-) than their predecessors and are quite cute. Justice is selling them for $21.60 each. 

According to a doll tracker, the dolls do not stay in stock for long at Justice. If you find one at Amazon or on eBay, it is sure to be more expensive. Of course, after the 'newness' wears off, you can get pretty much everything.


If you care to read about the line and it's backstory, here is the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ever_After_High

Our third $20. Shop Reward expires on September 30th. If you haven't used it by midnight of that day, it's gone. Is there anything you want to buy that you could use it for? Don't you wish we could accumulate them for a big deduction?

I used this quarter's reward toward The Blonds Blond Gold Barbie who will probably be delivered tomorrow. She's been a long time coming. She is one of the less than 10 Barbie dolls I own who stay boxed. They just look so good in the box.
There are several inexpensive items towards which one could use a $20. coupon such as tumblers, coasters, t-shirts and bangle bracelets. I hate to see coupons go to waste and you could always give these purchases as holiday gifts if you don't want to keep them yourself.  Shop, shop, shop! Why should I be the only one?

Seriously?

People are actually willing to pay this much money for a 12" Poppy Parker doll. 

What do you think of this?
