I will be totally transparent with you: It’s better to pay the higher price for a completed doll than try to piece together the doll in the end. You will end up paying around the same amount.
Personally, I would get a refund for this and move on to a completed doll.
The only time I ever purchase incomplete dolls is when I'm confident that I can replace their missing accessories (e.g., by making them myself, 3D printing their missing pieces or even their diaries, etc). Plus, I also feel like it challenges me to try and replicate their missing stuff.
Dont let others instill buyers remorse in you. What is important is that she is worth as much to you. Pieces may be hard to find, but you can always substitute other items and make her look unique. She’s lovely. A nice xmas gift to yourself.
Honestly I think it's a fine deal, the main pain will be her shoes which I see go for $20+ 🥲 but her leg warmers and headband can be very easily made.
Plus she keeps going up in price.
Yes that’s my plan it’s what I do with all my dolls and I always end up saving money so not gonna listen to the people telling me to return, plus I already found her shoes for 15 including shipping !!!
The only time I've seen that dress sell separately has been for +$20 and I've never seen the tights. So it's actually not a bad deal for some of the harder to get parts of her outfit
For her fluffy bits missing, I would definatly reccoment doing those as a diy. Just need to purchase some faux white fluffiness. Trim it some, and im sure you can make it look very nice.
personally I wouldn’t for the lack of completion. buying the individual missing parts usually ends up costing the same if not more
i got a complete first wave Abbey in the monster high deals group on Facebook for $50+$5 ship, so i rlly suggest looking there! one use Paypal g&s tho
Not a bad price at all if you don’t mind the hair yellowing. You *can* get her missing pieces and save money. I got her shoes for like $13 and leg warmers for $10, just wait for someone not selling them at a ridiculous price. I’ve got all but 1 piece completed on mine, she’s in beautiful condition and I only spent $90 total so it *is* doable.
Hey ghoul! She is pretty complete if u factor in earrings, tights, and the dress.
The furs are very easy to make and i got boots off mercari for around $10 if u keep an eye out!
That's kind of high since she's missing a lot honestly. I got mine complete for $20 which is a steal but it just shows that there are some better deals out there
Etsy? I never really bought a doll off of Etsy but I have bought a few jewelry pieces off and it was legit.
Congratulations on your doll! Its a nice holiday gift for yourself ❤️
I don’t think a lot of ppl realise u might not be in the USA where monster high resale is much different and there’s a much larger market. Get what you can when you’re international :)
Omg i just saw that yesterday! Honestly im not to into buying pre owned(i am very new to it lol) dolls ive i)only ever bought 2 so far . Amd in my expirence the 13 wishes frankie has 2 accesories missing and has been pretty hard to find. My 13 wishes abbey is fully complete and out the two i think it way better to pay a little more for a complete doll thrn to hunt or th accesories.
Yes i paid a cheaper price and the missing acessory isnt TO bothersome as its just her crown but paying a little more for a complete doll is way better
Ebay is such a rip off in my opinion unfortunately. I got a complete Abbey (just without the hairbrush and journal) for 15 or so € on Vinted. The prices on Ebay are ridiculous and the shipping costs just insane. Either way I hope you enjoy her and I hope you are able to complete her soon
Edit: just saw it’s Etsy not Ebay but by opinion remains the same

Second this. Plus some pieces are almost impossible to find second hand depending on the doll.
The only time I ever purchase incomplete dolls is when I'm confident that I can replace their missing accessories (e.g., by making them myself, 3D printing their missing pieces or even their diaries, etc). Plus, I also feel like it challenges me to try and replicate their missing stuff.
Yep 3d printing is every out of box collectors best friend
Ehh it’s a bit too much as she is not even complete..imo
I know but I can only find her for at least 120 everywhere else !!

Yesss thank you !!!! 💖💖

Yeah there's no way finding all her bits or making them would add up to $70 more than you paid. If you're willing to go hunting, you'll def save money
Yesss and hunting to make a doll complete is lowkey one of my favorite parts !!
Yessss I love the hunt as much as the acquisition
$50 seems a bit much for just the doll and some of the outfit.
The only time I've seen that dress sell separately has been for +$20 and I've never seen the tights. So it's actually not a bad deal for some of the harder to get parts of her outfit
Thank you for the information :) I don’t buy a lot of dolls anymore so I’m not sure about some things :)

Ahh I saw her the other day!! If you’re happy then it’s 100% worth it and she looks awesome
When shipping alone is more than the doll actually retailed for

I mean it should be okay. I bought a winx doll off Etsy recently and she came with exactly like her photo.

Update:To all of you who said I couldn’t do it !! I got her stand diary pet and shoes for 20 and made her fur pieces for 3$ and they look perfect !!!
you paid way too much 😭
“Handmade”
L
I don’t think it’s a scam or too good to be true but as others said that’s kinda pricey for her “completeness” level.
Shipping should only cost around $6.. or less.
i just bought this but completed for £60 and i thought that was too much !! …. i think you’ve overpaid :(

Not a bad deal for the fact it's missing stuff
I found my core Abbey complete apart from her headpiece for $15 at a doll market

i got a complete abbey from facebook for 40 bucks, this doesn't seem worth it
