The Search: Monster High Dolls in Winnipeg

Yeah, so it's true. I am collecting Monster High dolls. Frankie Stein to be exact. I wouldn't have expected myself to be into doll collecting. I mean, I can hear my mom saying to me (very loudly), "You're an adult now, why are you playing with dolls again?" Sigh. I am not playing with dolls. I am collecting. There's a difference!

When I first saw Monster High dolls in 2010, I looked at them (Frankie Stein in particular) and thought to myself "These are pretty cool dolls." To be honest, I did want one - just to have because they looked cool. But the thinking part of me said "Yeah, they're cool. But you don't REALLY NEED IT." So off I went on my merry way. Who would have thought two years later I would be kicking myself in the face for NOT getting the first wave of Frankie Stein? Not only is she impossible to find, but also major expensive. There was another instance where I had Dead Tired Frankie in my hand and I said to myself, "I don't really need it." Then, a few months later I went on a hunting spree trying to find her again. In the end, I did get Dead Tired Frankie, but not for the price I COULD have gotten it - which was $11.17 at Superstore. So now my rule (well my boyfriend's rule) is: Buy it when you see it. I guess he doesn't want to hear me whine about it.

However, out of my collection (School's Out, Ghouls Rule, Sweet 1600, Dead Tired, and Frankie Stein Fashion Pack).

My three favourites so far are:
Frankie Stein - Sweet 1600, which my boyfriend searched the entire city of Winnipeg for.
Frankie Stein - Dead Tired, which I got off eBay for a fairly decent price.
Frankie Stein - School's Out, which I found at Kohl's when I was taking a trip to the States.

The ones I still want to get:
Frankie Stein - Wave 1 Basic or the Limited Edition Black and White San Diego Comic Con Edition
Frankie Stein - Dawn of the Dance
Frankie Stein - Threaderella, Scary Tales

For anyone looking for Dead Tired Series, the last place I checked that still had them was at the Selkirk, MB, Walmart on Friday, August 31. There was a few Draculaura's and Ghoulia's left, if anyone was interested in getting them. I'd also probably call the store first before going if you're not from Selkirk and want to get them.

Anyhow, happy doll hunting!
