Abbey is yet another beautiful addition to the Monster High doll family. She is the daughter of a Yeti and she is a very unique looking doll. She has light blue, slightly glittery skin and white hair that has pink and blue streaks. She is dressed in furry boots and a matching hat and her dress has a white accent on the hemline. She is supposed to be from the freezing cold mountains in the Himalayas, so her tiny little dress probably would not be the warmest outfit...but the outfit is cute and fun and it is a toy so whatever. Her dress is on the short side but is still is in good taste. The jewelry on Abbey is especially cool, especially the necklace.
I was fortunate enough to find this doll when she first came out. I paid around 21 USA dollars for her at a store and that is a fair price for this toy. The 60-100$ that I am seeing the toy listed for is RIDICULOUS! This doll just came out in 2011. She isn't a collector's item and it is impossible for the toy to be worth that much this soon. Don't get me wrong, the toy is great but it simply IS NOT worth paying 4-5 times more than the doll should cost. The materials she is made of don't cost that much and she isn't all that rare. She can be found in stores but I had to look for her.
When I called Mattel they said the doll will be available in stores through 2012. More Abbey dolls supposedly come out in October 2011 and they will go for the suggested retail price. It took me three phone calls and two e-mails to simply get an answer from Mattel. Nobody seemed to know when the doll would be back in stock. This is one of THE WORST toy companies when it comes to customer service. They also must have a very poor marketing team, or a really slow factory. They released the Monster High cartoon featuring Abbey and the doll was OUT OF STOCK on their website the day the cartoon was released. Why would they release a video promoting Abbey's character then NOT have the doll available on their website? Naturally, kids and collectors are going to want the toy when they see a new Monster High character. Why would Mattel want to lose these sales?
This aside, I still will give the toy a five star rating. Monster High dolls are cute, fun and original and Mattel seems to have improved the durability a bit with this series. This is a great toy but as of now it isn't a collector's item or a limited edition. The hype is the main reason for all the price gouging that is going on. There isn't anything better about this doll over the others. She is equal in quality and she comes with the same amount of accessories. I am happy with this product and I will buy more.
I encourage other people to call Mattel and let them know: They need to do a better job of timing the release of the dolls with the webisodes. The online cartoons (see youtube) are no doubt intended as advertisements for the dolls. This is a great idea but...what good is a commercial when the company doesn't have the product in stock? This is not a complaint about this toy itself, which is why I gave it a good rating. This is not the fault of Amazon OR Abbey. Abbey is awesome but Mattel needs to step up their game! This is a popular toy and Mattel needs to be better prepared when it comes to meeting the demands of loyal customers! To parents kids and collectors: Abbey is a very cool doll but NOT worth 60-100$!

I recently stumbled onto an Abbey in a local store and was actually quite astonished to find her.
Abbey is a doll I initially had no interest in getting, but after seeing her, she really grew on me. She actually has a LOT of awesome details on her that are completely unique to her. She has "claw hands" (which were later introduced to Clawd and Clawdeen dolls) instead of the regular ones.
She has beautiful glittery skin. Every bit of Abbey's skin has glitter on it, which really makes her stand out, and shimmery.
Abbey has tusks instead of fangs, so they point the opposite direction (I think this is a cute touch, personally).
By far, one of the best things about Abbey is her absolutely beautiful hair. Her hair has a new iridescent sort of material which is very sparkly. It's not like the previously used (and typically disliked) tinsel in Cleo's hair, which breaks easily and is frustrating. The new shiny fiber seems very durable, and actually easily withstood me brushing it when I first deboxed the doll and had to straighten her unkempt hair.
This isn't seen on the doll or in any pics I've found so far, but Abbey actually is wearing very detailed snow boots underneath her legwarmers. The soles of her shoes even have treads on them, a very cute little touch.
The only negative thing about Abbey is because of her arm warmers, she can be a little difficult to pose-the arm warmers come up just past her elbows and this makes bending her arms largely impossible. It's really a small annoyance, but it is something some people may dislike. You can get around this if you fiddle with the arm warmers enough, but some people may find this forces her arms back into a down position.
All in all though, a very awesome doll and fairly unique with a lot of "new" features not previously seen on other dolls in the line. I personally really enjoy how creative Mattel is getting with these dolls.

Be patient with buying one of these dolls---I found her at Target for only 20 dollars; so be sure to check your local stores. They seem to be just coming out slowly but in time there will be a lot. She is a wonderful doll and I am very pleased with her. I just wanted to let others know not to make the mistake I made with the original Goula we paid almost 40 dollars for her on-line, and now she is everywhere for only 20 dollars).
