But y'all can probably see the yellowed mess on her forehead, caused by the problem that everyone and their dog griped about during Monster High's heyday: glue. Here's how Lagoona looks after I cleaned her with a wet wipe. She looks better, but that stain is there. Mama couldn't see it, but I can.
I wonder what bright-flight egghead thought it would be a good idea to fill these dolls' heads with glue??? Did they not think that that could be deleterious to the doll's looks and value over time? I mean, I'm not looking to resell Lagoona, but my point still stands. I hope the brain child behind the glue steps on goatheads in their bare feet.
Venting over.

So sorry to hear about your Lagoona. Honestly, the money-grubbing pencil-pushers at Mattel's corporate level who were likely breathing down the necks of the doll developers probably didn't care about resale value or how well the dolls held up over time, since the company wouldn't get any profits from resales, and if the dolls had problems later down the line that just meant that parents would have to buy their kids a new one. After the bubble burst on the 1990s Barbie collector doll market, Mattel wasn't really designing lines for adult collectors anymore at that time. Monster High just happened to strike a chord with grown-ups. And the scalpers, not Mattel, were the ones who profited the most from that. Sorry for being so cynical.

Sounds like a good place to be cynical, because we collectors are the ones who suffer from all that.
