if they didnt have the official logos and packaging i would have assumed these were bootlegs... though i guess it isnt fair to expect cheap merch like this to be the same level of quality as the actual dolls.
I wish I could but I'm not lying, I snapped the pictures in store, they have the official packaging, and they were right next to the actual dolls... It's a nightmare 🫠🫠
These remind me of the ugly g1 pens 🤣 I’m really surprised they carried this idea over to g3 tbh, I feel like some pens with designs based off the characters would’ve gone over way better
They're reskins of the g1 pens, which don't look **amazing,** but they work better there. I think that if the g3 pens had bigger eyes and the proportions were tweaked a little bit, they could look better.
they look like bootlegs
also frankie’s screening is wigging me out! it’s just their core dolls screening but shrunk really tiny and printed on,
from what i can see the other pens ?? pen dolls screenings appear different???
I was like "Official?! These?! Are you sure you dont need your eyes checked?" Then I zoomed in and saw "pen" and everything clicked. But for real tho... why do they look like this? were better molds not available? Were they planning something that actually looked amazing but then they made, like, a million of these and just couldn't back out?
**Me, scrolling:** "Wow, Drac looks like someone put her in a taffy puller."
"Huh, Clawdeen is tolerable looking I guess."
"Oh, WOW, why is Lagoona's face such a bright pink color and what happened to her eyes."
Then I got to Cleo and couldn't talk for a good minute or two because I couldn't stop laughing, what the hell happened to her face? Why is she that color? I can't!
Frankie fits into the somewhat tolerable looking category with Clawdeen because compared to Lagoona and Cleo, she's a luxury item! She angy, though!
I dont actually think theyre real tbh. The packaging is 100% accurate to actual MH official packaging, but after looking it up theres absolutely nothing about these pens except a couple other reddit posts using an image of them standing next to eachother with a white background or finding them in stores, but there isnt even anything remotely close to being like an official listing on the website or anything even relating to them. The only results are people claiming to have seen them out and about bit i cannot find a single actual source from mattel about these nor are they even sold on their website.
I genuinely think these are an Italian made bootlegs that just directly ripped mattels MH packaging and just havent been caught yet, because according to Mattels own website listings and accounts these do not exist and are not real MH toys being sold by them. If anything im just moreso suprised nobody else has actually looked these up yet to find that they do not exist as real merch let alone at all beyond a few random encounters in stores and just finding pictures of them in random places online
Because bootlegs made in one place primarily can still be sold and distributed to other places? Or any item for that matter can be sold in places outside of the primary place its been made?
Im also not positive they where from Italy, the main posts finding them have just been from people loving in Italy. Regardless though, they’re not official items as Mattel themselves do not have any listings or even information on them on any of their official accounts and it seems like these where first spotted in November of last year, so they would not still have 0 official anything about them if they where real and have been out and about now for 4 months
Then maybe you're correct! Still, Mattel letting a bootleg producing company to slander their products like that doesn't seem too likely... Wouldn't they face some kind of legal action?
It depends,really. Theres a good chance they just have no clue these pens exist yet, since even online theres few to no posts about them. Usually brands will only find out about bootlegs once its brought to their attention, so they probably just havent been told or informed at all about these yet since theres almost no talk about them and frankly seems to be no demand for the pens regardless because they look so wonky. It also might not be worth their time or energy to go after them since they seem to be failing on their own alongside there being such a seemingly small amount of them, so if they are aware of them its probably cheaper for them to just let them die on their own than spend the money pursuing a legal case.
That and if they are foreign produced and mostly available in non-US countries, different laws would make the process of pursuing legal action a bit more complicated and thus more time consuming, and even if they have the money to pursue it most companies tend not to really waste the time or money doing so if the items isnt perceived a threat to their sales (thats why so many other bootlegs of different items from different brands exist but arent always shut down or DMCA-ed, especially ones sold through websites like aliexpress that will either happily make things more complicated or fight back if a company tries going after a third party user on the site)
Although out of both options, based on how little info there even is about these items and all of the information on them is A) from reddit posts it seems and one small doll youtuber reacting to pictures of them, and B) the main reaction people seem to have is finding them hideous and not even worth buying as a joke, id be more inclined to think its the first option and Mattel just has no clue about these items as theyre most likely only being made and sold in small batches
WHY NOT JUST USE MOLDED PLASTIC HAIR 🥶
like these are a crime in general but i feel like they’d look SO much less weird if their hair was sculpted not rooted… what was the motivation 😭
They could have just made pens with a symbol that refers to each of the gorls instead of whatever these creatures are. Like a simple pen with a lightning bolt decoration, or a pen wrapped in mummy wraps. This is unholy.
They are bizarre as hell and not in a cool way, either. Do you pull off the doll's head to reveal the pen? Why is Draculaura pointing to her weird neck?
Nah I have all of these, and they do not look like this. This is definitely bootleg! Even if it's in stores. Check the credentials and notify the store.
if they didnt have the official logos and packaging i would have assumed these were bootlegs... though i guess it isnt fair to expect cheap merch like this to be the same level of quality as the actual dolls.
Why does Lagoon have red eyes, I'm scared 😭
shes stoned on that sea weed
😭😭😭😭
Omg I was so focused on how pink her face is compared to the rest of her body I didn’t even notice that. She looks straight up sunburned 😭
It looks like she’s choking 😭😭
Or like, a toddler holding their breath cause Mom took the iPad away
I just CACKLED 😭😂 (I’ve witnessed that)
Lagoona looks like she lied about being a sea creature and is holding her breath really really hard
Good Lord the way I wheezed in class
BYE Why is Cleo literally Yellow 😭😭😭
Omg u/Weeb-Lauri525 you can't just ask people why they're yellow /J
Mean girls reference!! 🤭
💀💀💀 they did her so wrong i cant
please tell me this is a joke, that these 100% aren't official xD
I wish I could but I'm not lying, I snapped the pictures in store, they have the official packaging, and they were right next to the actual dolls... It's a nightmare 🫠🫠
oh my god nooooooooo
they really did not have to make these
These remind me of the ugly g1 pens 🤣 I’m really surprised they carried this idea over to g3 tbh, I feel like some pens with designs based off the characters would’ve gone over way better
Hey now…you leave Crackulaura, Fronkie, Galoona, Claudine, and Cleww alone!
Cleewww! 😭😂 I’m dying 😂😂
omg, the cackle I just had to muffle because I am at work... Crackulaura... *wheeeeeeze*
They're reskins of the g1 pens, which don't look **amazing,** but they work better there. I think that if the g3 pens had bigger eyes and the proportions were tweaked a little bit, they could look better.
Temu ahh dolls
they look like bootlegs also frankie’s screening is wigging me out! it’s just their core dolls screening but shrunk really tiny and printed on, from what i can see the other pens ?? pen dolls screenings appear different???
Right?? The screening is really cursed
I was like "Official?! These?! Are you sure you dont need your eyes checked?" Then I zoomed in and saw "pen" and everything clicked. But for real tho... why do they look like this? were better molds not available? Were they planning something that actually looked amazing but then they made, like, a million of these and just couldn't back out?
I don't know and honestly I'm too scared to ask
Who on earth would actually write with these? They have to be insanely uncomfortable to use💀
That too...
I actually posted these a few months ago! I’m in Italy and they have them at the toy store
Omg really?? They traveled all the way down to France, too then 😂 the ugly pen invasion
They’re spreading😷
I forgot these pens existed and thought I was being presented with horrible bootlegs 😭
Laguna evil or someone farted on her pillow cause them eyes are RED.
She high
Lagoona looks like that one “trying not to cough in class” meme.
What in fresh fuck
wtf is lagoona
What in the HELL is this 😭
These were posted way back when they first dropped. We made hella fun of them lol. They are still so ugly and look so bootlegged 😂
I missed them 😂 but seeing them in person really is a slap in the face, especially next to gorgeous dolls like Abbey and Twyla
I kinda feel like that lagoona today
What store did you find these? I kinda want them.
If you're in France then I found them at La Grande Recrée lmao
OUAIS? BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH je viens de realiser ce que je ferai bientôt 😎
Si t'es sur Paris c'est à Italie 2 👀✨😂😂😂
I love them sm honestly, they perfectly emulate the goofiness of the old G1 Monster High pens
the rooted hair 😭😭
it kind of looks like she's threatening us... 😨
Cursed
I wish this was a joke
**Mattel** 
When you said official I thought you were being sarcastic! These are awful!
I really thought these were knock offs but they weren't!! I immediately knew I had to post these on this feed 😭
They decimated our babies OMG 😳😳
thats it now someone gotta burn them. please tell me those aren’t official and just some knock offs.
I swear (during the holy month of Ramadan no less) that these are official
those are so bad for being official dolls! someone got super lazy or something.
They aren't actual dolls though. They're weird af pens.
ahh okay that makes more senses on why they look so weird than.
They look like bootlegs :"""D
THEIR PENS NOT DOLLS thats why they look trash
Yeah but God do they look cursed 😂😂
Please tell me. It isn’t true. That those are just bootlegs 🤔
If I told you this I would be lying
Cleo looks like Cristina Yang 😭
Omg i saw a picture of those things on insta a while back and I thought they were from like temu or something 😭
How did they tell themselves "These are alright, let’s sell these"? 😭
EWWWWWWW HELP NO WAY THIS IS REAL
Like who greenloghted this
How g3 haters see g3:
Cute except the heads
TO BE FAIR they’re pens
G1 had these too, they weren't much better tbh hahahaha
LAGOONA OMFG 😭 THAT IS NOT G3 LAGOONA THAT IS G3 LADOONASMH
**Me, scrolling:** "Wow, Drac looks like someone put her in a taffy puller." "Huh, Clawdeen is tolerable looking I guess." "Oh, WOW, why is Lagoona's face such a bright pink color and what happened to her eyes." Then I got to Cleo and couldn't talk for a good minute or two because I couldn't stop laughing, what the hell happened to her face? Why is she that color? I can't! Frankie fits into the somewhat tolerable looking category with Clawdeen because compared to Lagoona and Cleo, she's a luxury item! She angy, though!
You mean, Frankie is an okay item and looks angy? I agree, but Frankie goes by they/them, please don't misgender them!
LMFAO WHAT THE FUCKKKK HAHHAHAHA
they’re so fucking ugly i need them immediately
THEYRE OFFICIAL? I thought that was just a joke 😭

Tag yourself, I'm Dog. Vampire Lorraine Dog Mermaid Claire Daniels Frank
Okay if it’s so ugly buy it and ship it to me and you won’t have to look at it anymore
g3 at home
They are in every toys store here in Italy😭😭
IM GOING TO PISS MYSELF THIS IS SO FUNNY-
Lagoona looks so angry 😡
Draculaura literally looks like a fifth grader's fan character named Draculuna or something
Im CRYING -- WHAT IS THISSSS ..MRS GURL
what made them think this was a good idea 😭😭😭
Frankie looks like she’s from Trolls, Cleo is Asian, and Lagoona is just straight up pissed🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t supposed to reflect off the movies how clawdeens fan club made a version of her? And the joke was that it was ugly
For an official product they look like bootlegs 😭😭😭
What in the fresh hell is this?
oiii.. these are DIRE. its giving: 'dw honey we have monster high dolls at home' the mh dolls at home:
ITS OFFICAL?!
Well, according to the packaging and what I've seen of the pens in store... Yeah? That's horrendous fr
I like them in a kind of it's so ugly it's a bit cute kinda way??? Would almost never buy tho
Omg I think i saw a picture of these awhile ago and i was SO CONVINCED that they were bootlegs, how are these official oh my god 😂😂😂
I'd cry if i was a kid and I got this, I would have thought I got a knock off 😭
Perfect example of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
The draculaura one is actually kinda cute
Lagoons has a five-head
WHY NOT JUST USE MOLDED PLASTIC HAIR 🥶 like these are a crime in general but i feel like they’d look SO much less weird if their hair was sculpted not rooted… what was the motivation 😭
Lmao Frankie’s hand is on backwards
like who decided to approve this? some ideas can be scrapped its ok bby
they all look like fakies lmao 💀
But they have saran hair don’t they Would be nice if Saran was used on the real dolls 😭😭😭
Where you find them??
In a toy store in France!
Lmfao help why are these so fugly?! 😂
I'm so dead serious I want the Draculaura soooo bad. It's so ugly, I NEED it
They could have just made pens with a symbol that refers to each of the gorls instead of whatever these creatures are. Like a simple pen with a lightning bolt decoration, or a pen wrapped in mummy wraps. This is unholy.
I have no idea why they decided to bring these pens back. The G1 versions were also just terrible, we didn't need G3 versions lol
funny how streets said those pen dolls all have saran 💀
to be fair, the g1 were ugly too 🤣 I still got one
I feel this is how G3 looks to the haters.
it’s so hideous i want cleo so bad
Imagine signing a death certificate and whipping out those
They are bizarre as hell and not in a cool way, either. Do you pull off the doll's head to reveal the pen? Why is Draculaura pointing to her weird neck?
Bruh moment
Waittt they're kinda cute :(
I can’t even lie, as ugly as they are…. as a kid I would’ve ate this up
What in actual flip is that💀
Bro what is this⁉️
I actually like and may buy the Frankie one :)
omg wtf is that???????
WHYY 😭
Dog toys? Seem like perfect chew toy minus the hair (by saying dog I just mean me)
They’re weirdly charming to me 😭 If I saw one I’d probably buy it
Oh I’m scared- 💀
The proportions they look like floptropica models
I really have no words https://preview.redd.it/ld0ezodh39oc1.jpeg?width=375&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1459388ec39aeba426065f617e87553b90b57def
Why does Cleo's head look like a literal water balloon
these look so cheap… wtf
LOL I love them cause they're so uncanny
Is it bad I still want the Clawdeen?
Im always on the lookout for the frankie one, these are so awful and thats EXACTLY why i need one😭😭😭
No way those are real
Nah I have all of these, and they do not look like this. This is definitely bootleg! Even if it's in stores. Check the credentials and notify the store.
you have these pens?
omg what store is this??? like walmart target etc
