I am an avid collector of the Monster High doll for a 12 year old, this was my first ever Monster High doll. Within the first few days of having it, my stand BROKE! and her little jacket got lost from it falling off! I know these Dawn of the Dance, Sweet 1600, and Gloom Beach dolls are cheap in cash, but DO NOT get them! I'd rather pay the $21 for a doll with accessories, pet, journal, and stand than all those cheap dolls. I ended up just giving the doll to my little sister. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this doll and will NEVER buy another doll like it... my advice: GET THE FULLY LOADED DOLL FOR A FEW MORE BUCKS THAN BUY A CHEAP DOLL LIKE THIS ONE.

I knew that Dawn of the Dance Frankie had to be the first doll to start my Monster High collection. I'm 25 years old, and these dolls are the dreams of my childhood! I would turn my Barbies into vampires and witches, I learned to sew just so I could make darker fashions for my dolls. When I stumbled on to this line of dolls over a year ago, I was determined to start a collection someday- and here we are!

I fell in love in DotD Frankie because of her colors of choice and the 80's inspiration to her dress. It's a kick back to Jem style that I adore. I love the articulation of these dolls and even though it's bit quirky, I rather like the curve of the torso. I didn't realize the doll's hair was so thick and smooth, either. Overall, Frankie is a gorgeous doll and I'm happy to say she kicks off the obsessions of the little girl inside my heart.

If only the online prices of these dolls were not so inflated right now! I advise anyone to look thoroughly and check store prices for the dolls. A few dolls are reasonable on Amazon, like DotD Frankie, but many others are not!

I have to agree with some of the other reviews on poor product quality. While some of the body parts may be made to come off, my 8 year old was making the doll do a dance kick, when the legs fell off. There is a piece of elastic attached to the inside of each of the hips. The elastic runs through the pelvic area and pulls both legs into the hip socket. This elastic snapped, so the legs came off at the hip, and you can't fix it. I tried popping the hips back into joint with no success. I grew up with two siblings performing more dexterious moves than this with Barbie dolls (splits, back-walkovers, etc) and never encountered this problem. I'm chalking it up to poor engineering. But my daughter loves the doll, so I returned it and will be getting another one. Unfortunately, there will be no more dance moves for this party girl.

My daughter really loves the Monster High Dolls. She has several of them and is not rough with them, but the legs fell off this one the second or third time she played with it. She was so sad and we ended up having to buy another one.

I had been waiting quite a while to get my hands on The Dawn of the dance dolls. When I finally did, I was thrilled... till I realized that their shoes, while utterly gorgeous, were made of hard plastic. What makes this such a big deal? Well, when you remove the shoes, you need to be very, very, VERY careful when you put them back on, or you will break the plastic. The dolls themselves seems to pretty much be of the same quality the first line was, and is just as lovely as their predecessors.

THIS MONSTER HIGH DOLL AND THE REST OF THEM ARE WONDERFUL! THEY ARE DETAILED, STYLISH, FUN, UNIQUE AND ARE EVERYTHING THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE. FUN, EASY TO PLAY WITH AND GREAT QUALITY. THE JOINTS DO PULL OFF. THEY PULL OFF WHEN YOU WANT THEM TOO. THEY DO NOT JUST FALL RIGHT OFF. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY SNAP THEM IN PLACE AND PULL THEM OFF. MY DAUGHTER IS TRYING TO GET ALL OF THEM, RIGHT NOW HAS FOUR (SHE IS 9). HER BFF HAS ALL OF THEM (10YRS). MY NIECE HAS 5 OF THEM (9YRS). NONE OF THE DOLLS FALL APART OR ARE JUNK. EVEN WHEN LITTLE SISTERS PLAY, AGES 5 AND 6 NO PROBLEMS. THEY ARE QUALITY DOLLS. I THINK THESE PARENTS THAT KEEP REVIEWING THAT THIS OCCURS SHOULD PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE BUYING. I'M ONE MOM WITH LOTS OF PLAYTIME EXPERIENCE THRU THE ABOVE MENTIONED GIRLS AND OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT HAPPY, POSITIVE AND FUN. ALSO, THE DIARIES THAT COME WITH EACH DOLL ARE REALLY CUTE LITTLE STORIES THAT THEY LOOK FORWARD TO READING AND RE-READ. THESE DOLLS ALSO INTRIGUE THE KIDS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE "PARENTS" OF WHERE THE DOLLS COME FROM, EXAMPLE CLEO DE NILE PARENT IS THE MUMMY, LAGOONA IS THE SEA MONSTER AND DRACULAURA IS DRACULA AND CLAWDEEN IS THE WEREWOLF, FRANKIE STEIN=FRANKENSTEIN. FUN AND DIFFERENT AND USES IMAGINATION! THEY EVEN MADE THEIR BARBIE HOUSE ROOMS INTO MONSTER GIRL ROOMS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE. THEY ARE FANTASTIC.

I received it early, A+++++ Would recommend this seller to anyone, the packaging was great it was not damaged in any way my daughters friend absolutly loves the doll.

The doll broke within 15 minutes of it being opened. My daughter is 8 and not that rough. The legs fell right off it. It was very poorly made. Unfortunatly she destroyed the box trying to get it out. You know what a nightmare it is trying to get the dolls out of the boxes are. so she is stuck with a broken doll.

Was a gift, great doll, quickly delivered and to the door! perfect condition! Would recommend to others...Accessorys were exactly as described.

I loved these dolls since I saw them. The dawn of the dance line is gorgeous! Frankie stien is so pretty in this line. I would reccomend this doll.!
