So, these little shits.
When Jen posted about them a few days ago I was excited to find & buy them and to my delight found a set of my own before work yesterday. With a little time before I needed to ready for work I busted them open, anxious to try them out.
That is, until I actually tried them out
That box is a PACKAGE OF LIES
There aren’t 8 molds each of bottoms & 8 molds of tops, it’s only 4 double sided ones of the SAME ONES. Now, it might count as different, technically, if they were at least facing different directions on either side - enough to not complain over - but it’s the same! So you have doubles of everything - strike one.
Then the largest issue is that the plates aren’t compatible in several different configurations. Oh no - they make 4 complete heat to toe monsters/outfits that fit each other, other wise you end up with torso mis-aligned or missing hands or hair that doesn’t fit anywhere. strike two.
But both of these might be enjoyable if you could at least stencil & color these properly. BUT NO. the only way to make them appear on the grate is using their black crayon & holder. The holder that, by the way, doesn’t properly allow you to even complete the outfits as it cuts off the tops of the heads or bottoms of shoes. Above are my best attempts at mastering each of the four looks. Now I ask you dear reader - could you ever color in these properly, let alone decorate them with the glitter & sequins provided? I think we both know the answer to that. STRIKE 3
The Fashion Monsters brand has all sorts of things out - dress-up kits, puzzles, arts & crafts - but can they stop playing around and just make me some sweet dolls? Their designs are lovely and if there’s ANYTHING I want from the FMs it’s those as I certainly can’t see myself bother with them again unless they make some.
(tagged momdusa because she mentioned liking them too, in a reblog. Miss Dusa, don’t even bother)
Oh my darling, thank you for reviewing this u_u
i mean, I’m not going to be anywhere NEAR the vicinity of a Dollar General for a couple weeks anyway, but when I do I’ll check out their other merch. Dolls would be fantastic, oui, I loooove their little butts uwu. They need to get on that even if they are on the level of Midnight Magic. (I am doubting it though)
