    i'm fine with certain poly. cleo's hair feels almost like saran, but clawdeen's just feels weird and tangly and dry. i hope abbey's is closer to cleo's.. i cut my clawdeen's hair into a wolfcut months back but i'm not feeling it anymore so i'm thinking of rerooting her with saran to match her g1 core/coffin bean hair bc that's my fav :) clawdeen needs brown SARAN!

    The bit with children is so real!! I remember playing with a 2008 Yasmin but her hair felt so rough for some reason. I loved her but I couldn't stand her hair so I asked my mom to braid it so I wouldn't deal with it. Later on I found out that she indeed had Poly hair as MGA had to resort on that. As an adult now, sure I can deal and manage poly hair but kids don't. And the parents may do something to further damage the hair if they don't know where to research. Like doll collectors are not the only ones buying and playing with these dolls.
    I love the Day's Out line so much. Draculaura, Frankie, and Clawdeen look so good but my goodness, I can't stand Clawdeen's hair. Either I'm gonna microbraid her or reroot her someday idk. Ik it's a budget line but the fact Mattel is using it in their deluxe releases is so messed up fr.

    Nowadays, before I buy a doll, I watch a video review to check the fiber used for their hair. If it's poly, then I don´t buy it. I'm not saying everyone should do the same, but, for me personally, poly is a no.

    Speak on it!! Every time I see ppl (g3 Stans cof cof) saying poly is “ok” it’s “manageable” it’s “not that bad” I get SO scared. B4 g3 It was a CONSENSUS on the whole community that polypropylene IS a bad hair fiber (it’s also a fact btw), but now that their fav brands uses it it’s now okay? And not that serious? Like the LACK of critical thinking and the way they’re trying to normalize poly hair is concerning, that’s exactly why Mattel keeps using it. I’m sorry but I do NOT have patience for Stans that can’t use their neurons and hold a multimillion company accountable. Mattel is NOT struggling or facing a financial crisis so let’s all stop acting like they’re some struggling indie brand that NEEDS to cut costs, this narrative is false, there’s no excuse for them to deliver shit quality dolls atp and considering they’re one of the oldest toy manufacturers which means they SHOULD be at the top of their game. They do it because we (consumers) allow it.

    • @morphinpink

      "g3 stans" are not a thing. Product consumers are not "stans". Attributing a poorly educated opinion on manufacturing materials to people liking the redesigns is wild. Ultimately, the problem is that Mattel has always had problems with the MH hair. Do "g1 stans" also lack critical thinking and can't use their neurons because they buy dolls that are so poorly made their joints are all floppy and the head vinyl is stained from glue seepage? Cmon now. You can criticize mattel without trying to shade and throw jabs are people who just like the new designs better.

      @Jonathan Kee Now you're just lying. Even just checking the subreddit and going back months there's not a single post saying poly is great. At most people have said they like G3 Clawdeen's hair color and the curly hairstyle she has in the show. Prime example of people completely misconstruing other fans' words just because they like the redesigns.

    like you said, us as collectors we have access to products that help us treat poly and make its manageable but kids don’t and it’s sad that they won’t be able to enjoy the hair play aspect of a dolls because they can’t even brush through it. as of right now, i don’t mind poly being used as i know how to treat it and work w it but it’s sad knowing that my dolls hair won’t last and i’ll eventually have to reroot them it’s so stupid that mattel uses the excuse that they don’t have color matches when they clearly do and just choose to cheap out on dolls that are considered a luxury to have. i’m hoping that they stop using polypropylene as frequently as they do cus it’s just going to cause problems.

    I will never shut up about Poly! It's a terrible fibre for doll hair, feels nasty and does not age well at all. I will never excuse Mattel for using it on MH. I am so sad that Abbey one of my most anticipated dolls has this hair type. I'm going to have to stop buying G3 poly dolls, which is a shame because I wanted the Skulltimate series 2.
    I don't even think kids deserve this bad hair, kids like to play and brush hair yet they give them the worst kind.
    I suppose we can reroot but also that's expensive in the long run and takes skill and time. Or I can buy a bunch of core dolls that already do have saran and treat SS and other releases like fashion packs instead to put on those but then I lose out on the new faceups... I hate mattel so much, they keep doing the MH community a disservice over and over again.

Courtly Jester said her source said ALL skullimate secret 2 line with ne poly hand the source has never been wrong! I almost cried I definitely wanted most of them they looked so good.

    What I don't understand is that companies claim it's because of the colors. But Katsilk comes in blues, purples, etc. So I don't see why they can use katsilk. Poly is plastic. it's not conducive to pretty doll hair.

    I'm tired of some G3 fans just telling us to shut up about poly, like just cuz u don't mind that their hair is gonna fall off in like 10+ years, or that u're gonna have to spend 20+ dollars per doll on doll hair to reroot doesn't mean I have to not care!!! This is an issue I've noticed with a lot of G3 stans, any sort of critique is seen as an attack to the entirety of G3. I like a lot of the G3 dolls, but the quality just isn't there sometimes. This is why I'm always fond of RH even though they get called overpriced at the same price as G3 MH, they ALWAYS give us nylon

    See with old doll lines like bratz , novi stars , etc (basically old MGA lines) the poly hair is valid as MGA didnt have access to saran-(allegdly) mattel brought all of the saran
    But with newer dolls like monster high theres really no excuse for mattel to constantly use bad quality poly hair, espically when their meant to be played with , rainbow high has fantasy colored hair too yet they never used poly on any of them-all of the dolls have good nylon hair mattel is a billion dollar company they more then can afford nylon hair if they cant find fantasy colored saran hair yet they rather keep using cheap products instead that will make it harder for kids to play with

    I'm fairly new to the doll collection scene and the g3 dolls are some of the first ones I've gotten, I'm sad the hair will disintegrate over the years but I'm also scared about having to eventually reroot because it seems like these dolls heads are significantly harder to remove without damaging. I know dollightful did a video on repairs if so but still, it'd be nice if they just used better hair quality for sure. I personally combed through my dolls with polypropylene hair and I don't mind it's texture but I definitely worry about the longevity.
    +With rerooting, it's going to be difficult to find a perfect color match, especially since these dolls hair can be so mixed and detailed like Abbey who has such beautiful colors throughout her hair being a slight blend of very light blue and purple with the matching tinsel(and I love the tinsel look on her).

I love the new abbey doll but the poly hair is a dealbreaker, I just can’t stand that hair type. Plus it’s not like Mattel is struggling financially and I can’t imagine it’s THAT much more expensive or inconvenient to just use Saran hair instead!

    I’m really disappointed in this development actually, even as a g3 fan. I liked clawdeen enough to micro braid her hair, but I can’t do that on every doll. I don’t have the time, resources, tools to reroot and tbh, I shouldn’t have to do that on every doll. I like Abbey and the SS wave 2 line enough to still buy them, but- idk now I’ll just wait for sales. I can’t justify 30+ for terrible texture and possibly having to learn something all new.
    If SS wave 3 uses poly next I think I might scream.
