MGA released more blind bags at the end of last year, because of course they did. Blind bags are "the in thing" and damn companies are gonna milk that cash cow till it collapses from exhaustion.
Now, anyone who reads my blog knows i'm really DONE with blind bags at this point and the price of them has become absolutely ridiculous anyway.
The newest offering from MGA is no exception,it's expensive as shit for tiny little dolls and comes with a pointless and messy gimmick.
At £22 each (yes, twenty two pounds) I just flat out couldn't justify buying any of these new. However I came across someone selling a few secondhand for half that and thought "why not?"
I'll pay a tenner for curiosity sake.
Amazon stock image should give a good idea of the packaging.
these come in big pink er... bag things... I think they're supposed to be like a balloon or something because they come with a straw that you blow on and it pops and confetti comes out and your parents go "WHY!???" and curse MGA yet again.
You can see people popping these things on youtube, it's every bit as "whatever" as you'd expect.
Honestly you'd get a similar effect just hurling a load of paper scraps into the air.
Anyway, mine came deboxed already so I didn't have to endure the pointless gimmick.
One nice thing MGA have done with this line though is actually label them so you know which doll you're getting. They have a little symbol that matches to a character. Diamond, Heart... you get the idea.
though it raises the question WHY NOT JUST NOT HAVE THEM BLIND FUCKING BAGGED!??
I mean, if they're gonna bother putting a code on the front, why not just have the character who's inside pictured on the front?
Why bother pretending it's a blind bag at all?
It's fucking stupid.
Anyway, let's get into this nonsense shall we?
