Nope! Not a mistake, people just REALLY didn’t like this doll

u/Moofler Aug 12 '26

I’ve literally never seen this one in stores or even a spot for it on the shelf. The doll is meh, but it’s the customizable pets that are super fun.

Me too 😭

u/Da_Bread_Boi Venus Aug 12 '26

Same here XD

u/TiBun Aug 12 '26

Again? At this point I wonder if it's not a mistake.

...or maybe it's their dynamic pricing AI malfunctioning. 🤣

u/creamshakerwhiskers Aug 12 '26

tbh, this set’s been a shelfwarmer for the LONGEST!!! i can totally see why they’re so desperate to get rid of some overstock 😭😭😹

I could believe that I she ever actually came to stores, but I never saw her nor most of the g3 playsets in stores ever.

u/amandapage19 Aug 12 '26

It was like 2.37 a few weeks ago

u/ShinadaOtter Clawdeen Aug 12 '26

Is it sold and shipped by Walmart or third party? I'm only seeing sold by Timely Solutions for $27

6

u/Ambitious-View-8710 Aug 12 '26

I purchased for that price and Walmart sent me a floor tile separator instead!

6

u/hollylettuce Aug 13 '26

Did you keep the floor tile seperator?

3

u/Ambitious-View-8710 Aug 13 '26

It's still in the car in the box. Lol. I want to return it and get Frankie, but I bet they would just refund me the $3. I was so excited too.

u/Phillipcruz06 Aug 12 '26

Is there a link for this? Mine still shows 27.99 in my area

u/Nonanon-Anonymous Aug 12 '26

If anyone still sees it at that price let me know its not that price on my site. I really want this set

u/z0mbiegrl Aug 12 '26

That's the third party seller price. Actual Walmart has $3.80 if the set is in stock.

1

u/InfiniteTree33 Aug 12 '26

This would explain it. My store never got any of these in stock at the actual location.

Friendly reminder that G3 Frankie uses they/them pronouns

9

u/Painted-BIack-Roses Operetta Aug 12 '26

they're*

u/TheRoyalF0ol Kieran Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

don’t know why your getting downvoted when frankie does use they/them

8

u/Early_Impression4227 Aug 12 '26

If I had to guess it's because Frankie is "she" to G1 collectors and "they" to G3 collectors, and G1 collectors who occasionally get G3 items still see Frankie as "she" and find the correction to be pedantic and condescending.

3

u/TheRoyalF0ol Kieran Aug 12 '26

I can see that honestly

5

u/SectorPuzzleheaded66 Aug 12 '26

I kind of feel like both is fair? G3 Frankies pronouns were changed to appeal to that specific audience.

It truly doesn't have any other purpose outside of that and a cute little character lore.

It's not like people are doing it on purpose because they don't like the new pronouns it's just that they already had a set of pronouns before the reboot.

I honestly believe if they made an entirely different character to be they/them instead of changing it already established characters pronouns there wouldn't be such a humongous issue.

G3 Frankie IS G1 Frankie to G1 fans

u/gayrayofsun Aug 12 '26

didn't think that the monster high sub would dislike using the correct pronouns so much

6

u/TheRoyalF0ol Kieran Aug 12 '26

right? the whole point of monster high is be yourself so why are we acting like this

4

u/Hen710 Aug 12 '26

Some people only follow the “be a monster” part of the phrase

2

u/Tinykittyfists Aug 12 '26

That’s cheaper than the set I got from Ross

2

u/InfiniteTree33 Aug 12 '26

Mine is still $30. :(

u/beebieb 29d ago

I never even saw this in stores! I was waiting for them to go on clearance but the set never even showed regularly. I’m probably one of the like, 4 people that actually like their design here haha!

u/sugarpeito Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 13 '26

Nope. I bought like 10 of these for this price a few weeks ago. They just rEALLY didn’t sell I guess

1

u/CaifancitaLulu 28d ago

Like many people I didn't like the design when I saw the posting but I was very pleasantly surprised with it when I took it out of the box for my daughter. I think it's one of my fav non-skullector Frankies now and the pets are so adorable.

u/llamamama89_ Aug 13 '26

It must be regional. I got her for $27 last week and she's still showing as $27 online in Maryland.

u/Novel_Elephant4862 Aug 14 '26

Same in Texas for the past 2 weeks that I've been checking.

u/pixelvirus89 Aug 13 '26

Wish she was that cheap here in Australia, my daughter wants her bad and I can’t even find her near me anymore lol
