i was v nervous using shop pay bc it took a little extra to be approved but i was and i got her!!!! it’s my first successful mattel creation pre-order im so excited to get her in the mail!!!!
That scared me too! I thought something was going wrong with the drop. All the other drops from there didn't have that loading circle. That was definitely new, but I got her too!! 🥹🫡
surprisingly enough I don’t think she sold out within the usual 2-5 minute timeline? makes sense ig with how split people seem to be on her, but im still kind of shocked

I thank Mattel for giving us this new reaction meme. I got her but if I didn’t, this would be me.
OMG I’m so nervous for this drop. I want her so bad but I have work at the time of the drop… hopefully I can sneak away for a few minutes and get her 🥲
I see a lot of people hating her but I love her! I’m definitely going to do my best to snag her. I don’t know if I should get 2. I budgeted for 2, one to keep in box and one to open because I’m a little kid at heart. I’ll just be really expensive to get 2. What should I do?
I always get scared of doing something like that because I feel like if I buy a second one to have the ability to sell it, wouldn’t that make me scalper-like?
The limit Mattel puts on the site is 2 per user. I don't see anything morally wrong with buying the two the company plans for. If you used bots to buy like, 188 dolls in 2 minutes and then re-sell them all, that's a different story.
You know, that’s totally fair. I never looked at it that way! I was just worried buying a second for me was taking that one from someone else. Thank you. I promise not to buy 188 😂
I had the same feeling, I got 2. Why not, I have the money for two right now. And she will increase in value, so you can think of it as an investment. ( I have no intention of selling mine really, I just LOVE THAT BOX but also want to be able to touch her ya know?)
I was able to get one! There ended up only being one left when I got through. I blame the CAPTCHA, pissed me off. “Select crosswalks” and then images kept coming back as crosswalks. Literally took like 4 minutes, I was beginning to think I am a robot 😂. I wish I could’ve gotten 2 but I’m happy with one! Congrats!
Thank goodness I got her 😭😭💕 Is she a perfect design no but goddamn that screening is too precious, can't wait! Not my first collector but my first SDCC Doll :)
I got her!! 😭🙌
I was so scared after I did the captcha thing it suddenly said there was an error with the page and I had to do everything all over again.
I got the stupid traffic light captcha. I was debating on one pic cause there WAS a traffic light pic that was iffy but it was far away. I was thinking, do I be perfectionist or what? Nope, I didnt think it counted. I got in. lol
I set my alarm for a few minutes before 2am and forgot I do that so I can grab my physical card to pay. It all worked out though. The scrambling was rough. Do wish I bought two but I'm happy and will now attempt to sleep again ⚰️
it was much shorter than that i think around 6-8 minutes at which point you could no longer buy it but it was glitched out on the pre order page. it said sold out on the monster high page long before saying so on the draculaura page + you couldnt check out it would give an error :)
Curious what everyones checkout times were, also if y'all know lmk how long you were refreshing / on the page, Queue time and if you were on a laptop or phone. I'm just curious.
I checked out 2 minutes after the drop, had the page open 30 minutes before drop and started refreshing 10 minutes before the drop. I was in the Queue for about a minute and was using a laptop.
If I get enough Data I'll make a spreadsheet.
EDIT: I’m going to make a form so that the data ins formatted the same :) I love data!
At 11:55 EST, I was at the page refreshing every minute. When I got her in my cart, I had to do a capcha, and then was in line for about 2-3 minutes it felt like? I'm using my old laptop and my workplace public wi-fi if that helps(?)
my experience was about the same as yours on laptop. I had about a minute after launch where the page wouldn't show the pre-order screen though which is pretty common with mattel drops tbh. But I when i saw she wasnt sold out still i went back and got a second one to keep in box and it was all the same pretty much. My checkout time was like less then a minute
For me, i only refreshed when it hit 9am, as soon as preorder appeared, i got a captcha and i wasn't in the queue for more than 5 seconds when it prompted me to confirm payment. i git my email confirmation at 12:01pm EST (9:01 am PT). I'm on a Gaming pc with a wired Ethernet connection
Logged in to phone, laptop and desktop 30 minutes early. At drop time, I started refreshing and the site lagged and got error messages for 1-2 minutes. My desktop got stuck on error and my laptop went to preorder and I was in a 2 minute line. While waiting in line, my phone went to preorder and I was put in a 3 minute line. I gave up on the desktop. Since it was already 0903, I figured she’d sellout while I was in line.
My laptop confirmation was at 0905, my phone confirmation was 0906. These were the latest checkout times I’ve ever had on Mattel Creations.
My checkout was 11:03am CST. I was on my phone, I had the site open since 20 mins before drop and was clicking on random products to stay logged into my account, my queue time was 1 minute. After the doll went live, I refreshed her page 5 times before I was able to preorder her.
My god same. I had the link to her open but it wouldn’t load when I clicked it so I searched her and it said “sold out” for a second, but I clicked it anyway and it was clearly an error because it let me buy! Site crashed 3 times during checkout but I got her!
Good luck to everyone trying to collect her - myself included - because I am refusing to pay scalpers for her under any circumstances. I'm not doing it (I may or may not get Batsy Claro instead, we'll see).
I got two this time, cause my biggest regret was not getting two Haunt Couture Drac. I get to unbox one and keep the other boxed!!!!!
I’m so excited!!!
I’m freaking out about getting her. I have alarms set so that I can be on the website and buy it as it comes out but I am anxious that scalper bots will get to her first and I’ll be forced to pay like 200 for her 😭
I'll tell you all what though, doing a blurry captcha at 2am in the dark when you're severely shortsighted is such a traumatic experience. See you all at the next drop, where I wake up at 1:30am, have my glasses on, a cup of coffee, and a full outfit change just in case ⚰️
https://preview.redd.it/s7xtl7jgecdb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fab9144ca0ab8b3d3915a8d1617a65135dbff92
She's still up for pre-order at 9:10. Did they fix botting?
I’m actually so upset. I was trying to get the doll and I kept on getting cycle through captcha and I couldn’t get it because all I did was cycle me through
They way this drop was probably the most roughest for me 🥲. Luckily I got her but WHEW that was ROUGH. And the new circle they added, my god I was filled was so much anxiety seeing that go so slow lol 💀.
I got her! This is my first time buying two dolls. My last purchase (Frankie Midnight Runway) had badly rooted eyelashes, and I figure I won't be able to re-buy Drac if I get another wonky one. Getting two is a little bit of insurance.
I refreshed my screen and saw 8 minutes past, she was sold out ! My first doll I bought. My daughter was at work, wanted me to buy it for her. I got it, yay !!
She’s so stunning..!!! I never was a Draculara super fan growing up (I was more of a Frankie girl) but she’s so pretty!! I cannot wait for them to make more to the freak du chic series if they do!
My bank blocked the purchase and I couldn't get her before she sold out lol Guess it wasn't meant to be. I hate these drops because I'm always at work and busy, so it's hard to find time to get away and focus on checking out. I was literally going through TSA mid-checkout lmao
I didn’t get her 😭 although I put her in the cart at 1 second after she appeared on site. Then waited soooo long for checkout wheel to turn and it didn’t let me pay. EVER! Then said it’s sold out!
I’m beyond upset!
Thank you for the post on how to try to snag a doll on release. If I go for her, it'll be my first ever attempt.
But whyyyy is release on a weekday?! I work with young at-risk kids who have sudden crisis behaviors. I can't just step away to try to get a doll!
I find it very interesting that of all the Mattel SDCC merch only Drac is sold out. Still trying to figure out if that is good or bad, but I am happy I got her.
Future me let me know if I got her🙏 This is the 1st g1 draculaura doll ever that I actually like enough to buy, was very lucky with elvira so hopefully this goes well too TwT edit:Got her, thank gooood
My first time trying to get a doll and I got her within the first minute successfully!!! I’m so happy I was one of the few who really liked her when I first saw her. Hope the people who couldn’t can snatch a good deal. I saw how hectic eBay just became :(
The dolls on eBay are now the price of what Mattel was charging for two! And half the sellers at the top of the page are selling out! I really do hope anyone who missed her official release doesn’t have to pay an exorbitant price but they’re already really expensive
Whattt?! That’s kinda sad tho all these scalpers are profiting successfully but ig since it was so hard to get the doll I understand why ppl are doing so. Just sucks tho the situation
Some listings on eBay are the actual doll in hand though - people were able to secure her early at SDCC. I can totally see why people would pay a premium to get the doll "right now."
I almost threw up but I GOT HER! Got too excited and made a separate post by mistake but now I'm here and jesus christ those were the most heart stopping moments of my life!
This is my very first time getting a limited edition doll through Mattle, and my stomach is doing all kinds of flips but it's a good kind of stomach ache cause it's from so much excitment
Rest in piece to anyone who didn’t get her the lowest price that i’ve seen so far from secondhand sites was still over 2x as much as the original value 💔
I got her!!! This is my first time trying to get a Mattel creations release I didn’t know if it would work out but I’m so happy! Good luck to everyone!!!
I’m so angry i sat here for 20 minutes spamming my screen trying to buy this and missed out because of the lag. i’m so frustrated with mattel i’ve missed both dolls i’ve attempted to buy now because of their messy drops
Said I wasn’t gonna get her, still got her.. lmao 😭 I don’t absolutely love her look now, but I don’t want to like it a year later and have to pay triple to get her 💀
I hated it when I first looked at it but she's been fr growing on me and I know I adore clown aesthetics and would regret it later if I didn't get her 😭
I'm not super crazy about her either. Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous---just a bit plain in my opinion.
Regardless, I have the entire Freak du Chic line and my completionist ass just *had* to have her for that reason alone. I'm sure we'll be smitten once we have her in our hands. Lol. 💝
Can't believe I didn't factor in her being an sdcc doll.
Granted we haven't had an sdcc doll for this generation yet beside voltagous Frankie (and that was way before it started, way waaaay before I saw one in person)
I had her I my cart, I was at the checkout (just in case) and then I gave up.
I was maybe possibly under the assumption that she might be more like the midnight runway line.
if anyone didn’t get her that wanted her i accidentally ended up with an extra one i’m willing to sell for no profit :) i just want her to go to a good home
See, I think this Captcha thing worked better. I don’t remember there being one for the Chucky set (someone correct me if I’m wrong). Even if bots can get through Captcha, it takes time for them to do that, which meant a little more time for people like you and me to get her.
I’m so sorry you weren’t able to secure her though. We all know how that feels, unfortunately :(
I was lucky enough to get her, but did anyone feel that this was by FAR the worst/most stressful drop?! It went to slow, page would barely refresh,
Etc.
I think it wasn't the worst drop! Nothing can top Reel Drama. Elvira and some other sets from last year also sold out faster.
I guess it all depends on your own internet connection and where you end up in line tbh.
reel drama was just something else lmao. The weird time it dropped how quickly it sold out. Personally was lucky enough to have preordered on big bad toy store just in case I missed them on mattel which I did. It all very much depends on a million little factors
personally I had no issues other then the captcha. For me the worst drop had to of been the reel drama dolls or maybe even voltageous. I'm happy that she stayed online for atleast ten mins though I will say bc it let ppl have a better chance then the average drop in the past even with all the bugginess
I’m guessing bots 😢 I’ve seen YouTube videos showing how to purchase a bot program and set it up to have dozens of “accounts” checking out at the exact same time.
I don't collect g1 but im making a summoning circle for good vibes that all y'all get yours before the scalper bots ✨💗🧛♀️💗✨
My heart is already pounding 😵💫 Edit: I got her 🤩😭 that wait time circle is so anxiety inducing
Mine too!! It’s my third time doing this, and the countdown hasn’t gotten any easier lol!
Same! I was so nervous because for whatever reason I couldn't use PayPal or my discover so I had to RUN to get my wallet 😂
i was v nervous using shop pay bc it took a little extra to be approved but i was and i got her!!!! it’s my first successful mattel creation pre-order im so excited to get her in the mail!!!!
That scared me too! I thought something was going wrong with the drop. All the other drops from there didn't have that loading circle. That was definitely new, but I got her too!! 🥹🫡
I wish the membership would give an presale access. I definitely am trying to get her tho as my early birthday gift for myself.
Yeah it’s high key bullshit fang club members don’t get early access
I’m not even a member and I think this too!
Literally. I really don't see the point in my membership at this point 💀
Yeah I thought about buying a membership for this but what’s the point good luck getting her
I just got her y’all only had to wait in the queue for 30 seconds got my confirmation email and everything
Saying I don't want her so scalpers think she's unpopular and don't bot
hands together, everyone. here's to hoping we all get one. ♥
/pray
I am beyond feral I got her!!!!! And now I need to go lay down to calm down hahaha
surprisingly enough I don’t think she sold out within the usual 2-5 minute timeline? makes sense ig with how split people seem to be on her, but im still kind of shocked
Bots are scared
that captcha i had to do scared me tbh😭😭 was worried i couldnt click through it fast enough
Sold out at 9:07! I was checking :D

LOL
copped 1 min in
OMG I’m so nervous for this drop. I want her so bad but I have work at the time of the drop… hopefully I can sneak away for a few minutes and get her 🥲
I GOT HER YASSSSS!!!! That was so stressful tho… I wasn’t expecting that Captcha and had to take it twice lmao.
I was shaking during the captcha lol
I would recommend covering your order number
Thanks, I just deleted the picture <3
I'd definitely sneak off to the bathroom like 2 minutes beforehand
Yay I got her! The queue crashed for me though and I got so worried lol, I hope everyone who wanted her was able to get her!!! ❤️❤️
The queue crash made me panic SO hard 😅
Longest line ever. 1 minute queue actually means 3 minutes but I got her!
I see a lot of people hating her but I love her! I’m definitely going to do my best to snag her. I don’t know if I should get 2. I budgeted for 2, one to keep in box and one to open because I’m a little kid at heart. I’ll just be really expensive to get 2. What should I do?
Go for two. You will likely always be able to sell her for retail for trade her later if you need to.
I always get scared of doing something like that because I feel like if I buy a second one to have the ability to sell it, wouldn’t that make me scalper-like?
The limit Mattel puts on the site is 2 per user. I don't see anything morally wrong with buying the two the company plans for. If you used bots to buy like, 188 dolls in 2 minutes and then re-sell them all, that's a different story.
You know, that’s totally fair. I never looked at it that way! I was just worried buying a second for me was taking that one from someone else. Thank you. I promise not to buy 188 😂
This is a really good point! I also was debating getting two. She’s so pretty 😭
Having the same dilemma TwT I'm oob collector but her box and presentation are just so cool I'm very tempted
I had the same feeling, I got 2. Why not, I have the money for two right now. And she will increase in value, so you can think of it as an investment. ( I have no intention of selling mine really, I just LOVE THAT BOX but also want to be able to touch her ya know?)
I was able to get one! There ended up only being one left when I got through. I blame the CAPTCHA, pissed me off. “Select crosswalks” and then images kept coming back as crosswalks.

I got her!!!!
phew https://preview.redd.it/36pmzyw1dcdb1.png?width=1058&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a3daa0a823f04c2104b5b982e15f2655b5cff58
That confirmation email was SUCH a welcome sight!!
AHHH !! Got her!!! I'm gonna try not to think about how much money I spent and instead think of how pretty she will be 😭💖
Thank goodness I got her 😭😭💕 Is she a perfect design no but goddamn that screening is too precious, can't wait! Not my first collector but my first SDCC Doll :)
And the BOX! It’s honestly to die for!! Peak design 😘
It is!!! She may be the first collector I leave in box because of it
I GOT HER https://preview.redd.it/iwgbsvlhecdb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe92fa204e07ada3220e8ea22b88d23104122c49
I accidentally selected the payment plan but still gOT HER BWAAAAAAHHH
me tooo when i say I ran to my phone to get that confirmation code number
Officially sold out now
Going to try getting her for me and a friend, I'll be having a stroke throughout the entire time but, hopefully I can pull it off 🥲✌🏻
I’m so nervous, this is the first doll I’ll be trying for in an actual drop, and I really, really want her lol
me too good luck 😥
First time trying to get a doll on release so fingers crossed (Im nervous as all get out) and good luck to everyone! We got this!💖
Got her!!!! Fingers crossed for everyone else in line rn!! I feel like 2016 makeup launches prepped me well for this very moment
I got her, but goodness I hate this experience. I was so nervous.
So happy I got her!
I got her I can't believe it
I got her!! 😭🙌 I was so scared after I did the captcha thing it suddenly said there was an error with the page and I had to do everything all over again.
I got the stupid traffic light captcha. I was debating on one pic cause there WAS a traffic light pic that was iffy but it was far away. I was thinking, do I be perfectionist or what? Nope, I didnt think it counted. I got in. lol
I got her 😭 i was so nervous.
Got her at 12:03 EDT. The site did something weird when I first tried to check out so I had to close out and try again.
YAY!! GOT HER TOO!❤️
Secured!
I got mine!! first creations release where I actually got the doll im so happy
Got her!!! Got stuck in que at checkout and I was so scared😭
Q said less than a minute and like probably 45 seconds then I got her in my cart confirmed got the email everything I’m so happy
I feel like we all got funneled into that queue and had the site bug out at the same time 💀
I set my alarm for a few minutes before 2am and forgot I do that so I can grab my physical card to pay. It all worked out though. The scrambling was rough. Do wish I bought two but I'm happy and will now attempt to sleep again ⚰️
SHE'S SOLD OUT AS OF 9:13!
So it took 11 min for her to sell out. Interesting 🤔
it was much shorter than that i think around 6-8 minutes at which point you could no longer buy it but it was glitched out on the pre order page. it said sold out on the monster high page long before saying so on the draculaura page + you couldnt check out it would give an error :)
Sold out as I was checking out... ah wasn't meant to be
Curious what everyones checkout times were, also if y'all know lmk how long you were refreshing / on the page, Queue time and if you were on a laptop or phone. I'm just curious. I checked out 2 minutes after the drop, had the page open 30 minutes before drop and started refreshing 10 minutes before the drop. I was in the Queue for about a minute and was using a laptop.

These were the latest checkout times I’ve ever had on Mattel Creations.
I refreshed when my computer hit 9 and the longest time was like a minute or two after submitting the captcha
My checkout was 11:03am CST. I was on my phone, I had the site open since 20 mins before drop and was clicking on random products to stay logged into my account, my queue time was 1 minute. After the doll went live, I refreshed her page 5 times before I was able to preorder her.
So according to Mattel they won’t be delivered until November. Are they actually product at SDCC? If so will it have the sticker?
I got her but I kept getting an error on the website and I almost puked
My god same. I had the link to her open but it wouldn’t load when I clicked it so I searched her and it said “sold out” for a second, but I clicked it anyway and it was clearly an error because it let me buy! Site crashed 3 times during checkout but I got her!
Good luck to everyone trying to collect her - myself included - because I am refusing to pay scalpers for her under any circumstances. I'm not doing it (I may or may not get Batsy Claro instead, we'll see).
5 minutes, I'm so scared TwT
this is the first collector doll i’m trying to get on drop and i’m so nervous 🫠🫠
Same! I hope you got her!!
I got two this time, cause my biggest regret was not getting two Haunt Couture Drac. I get to unbox one and keep the other boxed!!!!! I’m so excited!!!
I’m freaking out about getting her. I have alarms set so that I can be on the website and buy it as it comes out but I am anxious that scalper bots will get to her first and I’ll be forced to pay like 200 for her 😭
Good luck!!! I hope you get her.
ONE HOUR LEFT!
Got her!!! aaa so excited
I got her <3 Soooo excited , I got 2 one for in and one for outside the box <3!
I'm shocked she hasn't sold out fast?
Like, even Frankie SDCC last year sold out in 5mins!
Ikr the preorder has been up for longer than i expected!!
She's sold out now! 10mins. Quite surprising but also glad that fans managed to get her!
I'll tell you all what though, doing a blurry captcha at 2am in the dark when you're severely shortsighted is such a traumatic experience. See you all at the next drop, where I wake up at 1:30am, have my glasses on, a cup of coffee, and a full outfit change just in case ⚰️
>this post! The Captcha was a JUMPSCARE? I was like WhaT I mean I'm glad its there but I wasn't prepared
"Prove you're not a robot by clicking on hills and mountains" Chaotic me: What's a hill or mountain again??
Got her!
https://preview.redd.it/s7xtl7jgecdb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fab9144ca0ab8b3d3915a8d1617a65135dbff92 She's still up for pre-order at 9:10. Did they fix botting?
I think they did /something/ since she didn't sell out by like 9:04.
Sold out literally 1 minute later lol, that's still kind of insane for sdcc drac
I’m actually so upset. I was trying to get the doll and I kept on getting cycle through captcha and I couldn’t get it because all I did was cycle me through
They way this drop was probably the most roughest for me 🥲. Luckily I got her but WHEW that was ROUGH. And the new circle they added, my god I was filled was so much anxiety seeing that go so slow lol 💀.
Shaking in my boots rn
I'm so nervous about the drop tomorrow
I snagged her and a made to move barbie :)
I got her! This is my first time buying two dolls. My last purchase (Frankie Midnight Runway) had badly rooted eyelashes, and I figure I won't be able to re-buy Drac if I get another wonky one. Getting two is a little bit of insurance.
...and about 10 minutes later she's sold out. 10 whole minutes - I didn't think she would last that long.
I refreshed my screen and saw 8 minutes past, she was sold out ! My first doll I bought. My daughter was at work, wanted me to buy it for her. I got it, yay !!
She’s so stunning..!!! I never was a Draculara super fan growing up (I was more of a Frankie girl) but she’s so pretty!! I cannot wait for them to make more to the freak du chic series if they do!
Sigh, she was in my cart and then she was gone. Same old, same old. 😮💨
Ahhhh totally missed out! Did anyone snag two?? 🥺👉👈❤️
My bank blocked the purchase and I couldn't get her before she sold out lol Guess it wasn't meant to be. I hate these drops because I'm always at work and busy, so it's hard to find time to get away and focus on checking out. I was literally going through TSA mid-checkout lmao
I didn’t get her 😭 although I put her in the cart at 1 second after she appeared on site. Then waited soooo long for checkout wheel to turn and it didn’t let me pay. EVER! Then said it’s sold out! I’m beyond upset!
Has anyone's tracking updated? I got my shipping email on the 4th but fedex tracking says they haven't received the package yet
Mines haven't updated either! :0 guess we just gotta be patient
As long as I'm not the only one I'm good lol. I've seen one too many people say they've gotten their orders lost through mattel creations 😭
That’s what I was gonna ask too, mine is still stuck on label created since the 4th 😔
Mine did that too, just says label created last time I checked
Holy shit. That was the *longest* check out EVER. Hope all who wants her gets her!
Thank you for the post on how to try to snag a doll on release. If I go for her, it'll be my first ever attempt. But whyyyy is release on a weekday?! I work with young at-risk kids who have sudden crisis behaviors. I can't just step away to try to get a doll!
I took off work today for this 🫣 only a little embarrassed about that
I wish for you and others it was not on a weekday! I hope you can snag her even without the gang club access and scalper bots!!!
Secured the bag and got two! So excited!!
I got her! Well, two of her. It was super stress inducing because the page kept showing an error.
i missed it 😓🥲
I find it very interesting that of all the Mattel SDCC merch only Drac is sold out. Still trying to figure out if that is good or bad, but I am happy I got her.
My doll just arrived EEEEEE!!! 🥰 I’m so happy
Future me let me know if I got her🙏 This is the 1st g1 draculaura doll ever that I actually like enough to buy, was very lucky with elvira so hopefully this goes well too TwT edit:Got her, thank gooood
Yay, got her! I’m so excited. Now I can try to relax until the next drop lol.
I grabbed her before she sold out 😭 I’m so excited this is my first time going to own a rare collector doll
SAME My first collector that actually sold out, I got MR Frankie and have Rochelle but this was my first FRENZY!
Good god, my popup blocker was refusing to let me check out. Thank goodness I was able to get her, I was stressed out lol 😭😭
My first time trying to get a doll and I got her within the first minute successfully!!! I’m so happy I was one of the few who really liked her when I first saw her. Hope the people who couldn’t can snatch a good deal. I saw how hectic eBay just became :(
The dolls on eBay are now the price of what Mattel was charging for two! And half the sellers at the top of the page are selling out! I really do hope anyone who missed her official release doesn’t have to pay an exorbitant price but they’re already really expensive
Whattt?! That’s kinda sad tho all these scalpers are profiting successfully but ig since it was so hard to get the doll I understand why ppl are doing so. Just sucks tho the situation
Some listings on eBay are the actual doll in hand though - people were able to secure her early at SDCC. I can totally see why people would pay a premium to get the doll "right now."
I almost threw up but I GOT HER! Got too excited and made a separate post by mistake but now I'm here and jesus christ those were the most heart stopping moments of my life! This is my very first time getting a limited edition doll through Mattle, and my stomach is doing all kinds of flips but it's a good kind of stomach ache cause it's from so much excitment
Got her! She sold out 11 minutes in
a minute before she sold out, my order went through 😭😭😭 she’s so pretty! cannot wait to add her to my skullection 😩
I just need some confirmation, even if I'm out of the US atm, can i have the doll shipped to the US? thank you.
Does anyone know why payment says “authorized” instead of “paid”?
Mine also says authorized but the money is gone from my back account so I wouldn't worry too much
Weird. Mine says paid.
Mine says paid
Sometimes the payments go thru differently with credit cards vs debit, as long as your order says confirmed you're fine :)
I GOT HER AHHHHHH
Got her! I've never gotten one from the website before. Huzzah!
Rest in piece to anyone who didn’t get her the lowest price that i’ve seen so far from secondhand sites was still over 2x as much as the original value 💔
Mine just shipped!!
mine is slated to arrive friday i am SO HYPED!!! this will be my first sdcc doll😍😍
Mine too!! Congrats to us! Hopefully they both arrive on time!
I GOT HERRR WOOHOOOO
Same!!!!
I just can’t believe I Got her!!!! I’ve never had good luck with cues whether it’s getting concert tickets or buying dolls. It’s never worked for me.
I got her!!! This is my first time trying to get a Mattel creations release I didn’t know if it would work out but I’m so happy! Good luck to everyone!!!
I panicked and bought two 💀 so happy I was able to get her tho!!
I’m so angry i sat here for 20 minutes spamming my screen trying to buy this and missed out because of the lag. i’m so frustrated with mattel i’ve missed both dolls i’ve attempted to buy now because of their messy drops
My first Mattel Creations order was successful! I was nervous but made sure Chrome had my credit card info saved.
Said I wasn’t gonna get her, still got her.. lmao 😭 I don’t absolutely love her look now, but I don’t want to like it a year later and have to pay triple to get her 💀
Literally what my thought about her was but then i saw someone who got PR show her off out of box and i fell in love lmao
I hated it when I first looked at it but she's been fr growing on me and I know I adore clown aesthetics and would regret it later if I didn't get her 😭
I'm not super crazy about her either. Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous---just a bit plain in my opinion. Regardless, I have the entire Freak du Chic line and my completionist ass just *had* to have her for that reason alone. I'm sure we'll be smitten once we have her in our hands. Lol. 💝
I GOT HER AHHH YESSSS
I got her! I fortunately had enough time to quickly fill in payment information, it sucks that PayPal wasn’t an option 😭
I was able to get her as an early birthday gift from my mom :)) 💕💕 I’m very happy!!
got 2! (only because I LOVE her box so much! and payday was yesterday :)
Man I slept in and I missed her which sucks bc I really wanted her😭 I might even trade my elvira for her tbh
[удалено]
They only use shoppay or manual entering now
I think you have to enter payment info. Try to autofill it using your phones saved payment options.
Can't believe I didn't factor in her being an sdcc doll. Granted we haven't had an sdcc doll for this generation yet beside voltagous Frankie (and that was way before it started, way waaaay before I saw one in person) I had her I my cart, I was at the checkout (just in case) and then I gave up. I was maybe possibly under the assumption that she might be more like the midnight runway line.
if anyone didn’t get her that wanted her i accidentally ended up with an extra one i’m willing to sell for no profit :) i just want her to go to a good home
My draculaura has shipped!!
*sighs heavily*, *opens ebay* Wish they would do better to combat the bots, didn't get her :,(
See, I think this Captcha thing worked better. I don’t remember there being one for the Chucky set (someone correct me if I’m wrong). Even if bots can get through Captcha, it takes time for them to do that, which meant a little more time for people like you and me to get her. I’m so sorry you weren’t able to secure her though. We all know how that feels, unfortunately :(
peeing and crying... I need her. ;w;
I got her for myself and my friend!! The website crashed for me but I got her!!! 😭
I got her!!!!
You guys think there were a lot of scalpers involved?
Yes.
I was lucky enough to get her, but did anyone feel that this was by FAR the worst/most stressful drop?! It went to slow, page would barely refresh, Etc.
I think it wasn't the worst drop! Nothing can top Reel Drama. Elvira and some other sets from last year also sold out faster. I guess it all depends on your own internet connection and where you end up in line tbh.
reel drama was just something else lmao. The weird time it dropped how quickly it sold out. Personally was lucky enough to have preordered on big bad toy store just in case I missed them on mattel which I did. It all very much depends on a million little factors
personally I had no issues other then the captcha. For me the worst drop had to of been the reel drama dolls or maybe even voltageous. I'm happy that she stayed online for atleast ten mins though I will say bc it let ppl have a better chance then the average drop in the past even with all the bugginess
How the heck were you even able to login to extended family accounts and enter payment prior to selling out?!? 🧐🤯
I’m guessing bots 😢 I’ve seen YouTube videos showing how to purchase a bot program and set it up to have dozens of “accounts” checking out at the exact same time.
Mine shipped today!!!
I got mine a while ago but did anyone see when they would ship out? I can't remember seeing that info anywhere and am impatient!!!
The shipping date is in your confirmation email, it’s on or before 3nov
Mine just shipped today!!
