  1. Thanks for sharing this disappointing information. I miss the Liv dolls. I really miss them.

  2. They look horribly cheap for that price. I wouldnt pay over 12.99 for any of them and that may be stretching it. They look like those cheap dollar store dolls. I would only pay the $12.99 for them if their outfits fit my Monster High dolls.

  3. These dolls are adorable. I have to agree that the price is expensive for the doll. Let's not forget that these dolls were made for six year old not adult collectors. They have a great look and I am sure they will be a hit this christmas.

  4. The Tokyo Pop doll looks exactly like this doll, coincidence??
