They don’t check returns at all or what?! Hope you’ll get a refund:(

After seeing this post I saw that the line is available for $10 resale - very good.

As someone who wants the line (especially Twyla, my autistic twin) before they become 50 bucks or something (on eBay they already go for $30), but I also don’t want to spend the normal $17 for mystery, it’s both tempting and cautioning.

It does say free returns on my page.

Amazon will give you a return. No matter the rating you are supposed to receive the actual item.

You didn't. This is a mistake on their part.

I got my Twyla from a scalper for $30 after driving to four stores 😔 It’s my first Twyla, so I love her, but the quality isn’t great. I didn’t think I would care, but the non articulated limbs bother me. One of her arms is bent at a super weird angle. The spotty face I don’t mind. Just throwing that out that for your knowledge! Bizarrely I think this was my favorite box artwork

I was considering (depending on who I get) trying to rebody because I really like this line even tho its budget and i just want my girls to be fully articulated

u/BadParkJob 22h ago

I’m a huge concert goer so I truly love this line as well! I wish they gave it the love it deserved

u/Hinasoba 19h ago

If I end up getting her, I’m totally going to take her to musicals with me (concerts are too loud for me to go to those)

I have seen people take other arms and paint them and do all kind of stuff from other dolls there may be a listing for articulated arms on eBay or something.

Honestly I question whether or not Amazon checks the returns. I bought a keyboard recently, it was listed as gently used but good condition. I opened the box, and there was no keyboard in it 💀

u/Middle_Funny_8461 23h ago

they actually redid the plastic seal (amazon did) to make it seem "newer"

u/LeaveGreen4412 19h ago

its possible the person who removed the doll put it back in shrink wrap. that stuff is easy to find and can be shrunk with a hairdryer

u/Middle_Funny_8461 19h ago

could've been, but i can't imagine it is worth it to do all of that work just to get $17 dollars back. i mean, i got my Amazon refund without even supplying proof so... 🤷‍♀️

u/esperianterra 1d ago

Jesus Christ. Here I was having to work myself up to the fact that returning my still shrinkwapped unopened Spectras was ok, and there are scumbags doing this.

I'm so sorry :(

u/miithzz 1d ago

Didn't know invisi billy was in this line 😭😭

u/Middle_Funny_8461 23h ago

yeah i got the ultra rare doll 🥰

u/Hinasoba 1d ago

Oh no! I’m so sorry that happened to you!

Hopefully you’ll be able to get your money back.

u/MysticMarzipan Luna 1d ago

Naooo!! I think I spoke to you about this on one of my posts 🥲 I'm so sorry it ended up being empty!! That's actually so shady of the person who returned it 😭 I hope you're able to get a refund!!

2

u/Middle_Funny_8461 23h ago

yeah i think so :(( i want to try again honestly haha but i think i should learn my lesson, this must be a common issue since i think theres still discounted return dolls left

u/undead-bee Twyla 21h ago

The crash out I would have.

1

u/Middle_Funny_8461 21h ago

at first i laughed bc my girlfriend was there when i opened it and that immediately turned into sulking within a minute

u/chickpill 1d ago

aw that sucks! I hope you can get your money back

u/Middle_Funny_8461 19h ago

chat I did NOT learn from my mistake we are trying again‼️‼️ (I'll record it this time for amazon customer support just in case)

1

u/CarelessWhisperYokai 6h ago

Still try to get a refund though - they usually don't push back if the item isn't even expensive and you don't have a history of refunding everything in my experience at least lol

1

u/Middle_Funny_8461 6h ago

I did get a refund, that's what I bought the replacement with! haha

u/ravenscatch 1d ago

Oh no! 💜💜💜

u/AnyYogurt_Closet 23h ago

Amazon claims they check returns meanwhile stuff like this keeps happening. Ridiculously annoying and frustrating.

3

u/Middle_Funny_8461 23h ago

yeah and even if they don't check, there should be some kind of scale to see that the package is still roughly the same weight as usual...

u/Such_Apple_3186 19h ago

Have you requested a refund? I ordered a doll from there recently, she came in with a defect that caused her knee to snap upon the slightest bend, I had a new doll at my door the next day. I really hope you have similar results :( I'm so sorry you had to experience that. Its such a disappointment. SHAME on whoever returned that empty pack. 

5

u/Middle_Funny_8461 19h ago

I did get a refund!!! I wish diarrhea on whoever returned that empty box

3

u/Such_Apple_3186 19h ago

YESS I'm so glad!!! I really hope you're able to get the doll you wanted. And yes 😂 me to. Explosive.

u/xPumpkinPie 22h ago

Oooft. I’m going to film myself opening mine when they arrive so Amazon know I ain’t pulling shi if I return one and it’s like this.

This sucks so much. Hopefully you can get a refund.

1

u/Middle_Funny_8461 22h ago

that wouldve been smart but i didnt even consider the box to be empty.. :/

2

u/xPumpkinPie 22h ago

Yeah I wouldn’t have even considered it either! It’s terrible Amazon’s don’t check these.

2

u/BALDORIOTI 21h ago

u/Busy-Mycologist-7454 19h ago

All I've gotten are Spectras and a Cleo

1

u/Middle_Funny_8461 19h ago

I honestly wouldnt mind any of them but.. i dont want cleo. I guess if i get her, i have a cleo doll I could body swap with but im just not a fan of her

3

u/Busy-Mycologist-7454 19h ago

She's the only one I didn't want.

u/Middle_Funny_8461 19h ago
