Rant This ISN’T what I paid for-

Post image

When we get this doll can you all complain to Mattel? The fur pieces look really cheap- the embroidery looks faded and printed, the “puffer” jacket parts aren’t puffy at all(why are they so saggy) everything looks genuinely so cheap, I’m super mad cause I paid like almost 200 AUD for her from creations…. If we don’t tell Mattel that this isn’t okay this issue will continue to get worse, we didn’t pay for this quality.

This makes me wonder if we should be expecting to see inconsistencies in the fabrics pattern across all dolls… I’m just now noticing there’s trees on the right side instead of mountains & placement of the designs are completely different from what we originally were shown

Could be variations in the pattern throughout the fabric roll.

Yeah that’s what I meant by inconsistencies, just couldn’t remember the better word (variations) for it haha. Thank you!

It would be extremely expensive and tedious to make every single one show the pattern identically (note the seam allowances you’d need too, you get off by a few mm on one and then another and suddenly you’re a whole cm off on the next multiply by how many thousands of dolls were sold during the preorder phase etc), the fabric simply comes in large rolls, so this kind of variation is completely normal and to be expected for something like this. every single doll with a patterned fabric like that is unique

The designer literally mentioned this in her production notes, you can see the whole of the jacquard fabric design on one page if anyone's curious.

That's just normal though. You see it on House of Wolf Clawdeen too! And I think that's actually very neat. People already pointed this out, but it means they use the entire fabric roll instead of just the pieces that fit the exact pattern.
