    Adult male? First time I've seen one. Adult females there's quite a few.

    Yeah, I picked those up for my daughter about a month ago. She loves those new Ghouls Rule dolls and Dot Dead ones too. I told her to pick a line because I can't afford to chase two lines, so she went with Ghouls Rule.

    Dammit. I never even SAW the bloody 2-pack at any Target and I searched from Waco to Austin. Dammit, maybe I'll eBay one for her at Christmas. Howleen is her Grail right now.

    On that Toy Hunter show, there was a rather burly biker fellow who had a large Barbie collection...so I suppose there are grown ass men who like to collect these things. I don't get it, but to each their own.

    If you cross the undead with anything collectable I'm onboard. There are a lot of dead chicks going to this school lol.


    I will tap a few of my local contacts and see if anyone has a spare.

    They're not monstrous enough for my liking. They don't look so much like monsters as they do Bratz dolls trying out the Goth look and failing miserably.

    Hahaha, this guy's hilarious, and so is the fact that the store's not allowing employees to essentially do their job.

    I actually managed to find a Howleen/Clawdeen two pack on eBay a couple of days ago for about $10 over retail, BIN. I jumped all over it, it'll make the girl happy :D

    Replace this "Monster High" with "GI Joe" and you've pretty much got 15% of the topics that took place during the later part every Joe line since the 25th launch on HiSSTank.com.

    What's neat, is that around here, you simply had to clear a shelf, get an employee's attention afterward and they'd still go look in the back for you provided they found nothing on the shelf. I learned this trick from a very helpful Target shelf stocker.

    Didn't watch the entire video but I don't see what's wrong with the guy's statements. Transformers fans bitch and moan about the EXACT SAME THING when Target won't get their platic robots from the back. Just different product.
