She's finally here, months late but here at last.
Let me explain.
See, Catty hit the US market back in like June? Meanwhile here in the UK her release date kept being pushed back... and back... and back.
as it stands, as of today (September 16th) Smyths, the biggest toy retailer, STILL has no confirmed stock date for her. She's been on their site "awaiting stock" since July.
But I managed to find a retailer who DID have her in stock at last.
Not Argos, Not Smyths, not Amazon even. Not even Very. Nope, instead the company who got stock in first was Grattan/Freemans. Who are Grattan/Freemans I hear you ask? Grattan are a West Yorkshire based catalogue company who generally sell clothing, but have a small toy section.Freemans are their sister company following some sort of merger in 2000. Like Very/Woolworths/Littlewoods, the two companies operate near identical websites with the same stock and have the same admin and honestly I don't fully understand what the point of the multiple sites IS but whatever.
Not somewhere I would have thought to look. I only found this because of Google, and was honestly really surprised to see they had Monster High dolls at all, let alone having Catty in stock.
Not only was she in stock, they had coupons which saved me some more money.
Whooo!
I ordered and waited about 4 or 5 days for delivery. Like Very, Grattan use Evri for their delivery and Evri is slow as shit.
But she arrived! So let's get a look at this new rendition of Catty Noir!
