I Wasn't Sure About Her... - Heather Grayson Shadow High Doll Review

[@zer0sd0lls21]

As someone who consistently runs into quality issues with these dolls I love that you aren’t shy to bring attention to these issues! I really really hope MGA will eventually take quality control more seriously especially for series 4 of rainbow high! Amazing review as always! Heather is my favvv!

[@NexJen]

I think it's important to not gloss over issues. I hope so too.

[@aQuayQuay]

Heather Gray is the first doll of Shadow High I've ever seen... she is stunning! I love her two-toned hair because of the braids and hair extensions-such cool ideas for doll hair!! I have to comment on the makeup too. I think she was going for white eyeliner on her bottom waterline to make her eyes look bigger. In real life, people do that to make themselves look doll-like, so I guess since Heather is already a doll that makes her a superdoll? Haha idk, but it fits her aesthetic to be a bit extra~

[@NexJen]

Haha I was just saying this to a friend today and it dawned on me that may have been what they were going for. I think you are right☺️

[@venusgin7779]

She was the first doll I got (I plan to collect them but they are expensive so I’ll need time as I am a college student) and I actually have her some piercings and she looks so amazing tbh- I gave her two nose piercings with a chain between them, eyebrow piercings, and additional ear piercings-

[@NexJen]

Oh my gosh I bet you she looks so cool. I have a couple super teeny little piercings and studs that I'm going to be adding to mine eventually too as well as teeny tattoos I've just misplaced them which is super annoying because I would have loved to have had them on her already for the footage but oh well. Yours sounds really cool that's what matters.

[@dollandtoygalk8446]

I love this doll so much. That Jacket is my favorite piece. Not a fan of the snake skin. I love your original look you did for Heather at the end. Fantastic 👏 😀❤🖤

[@NexJen]

Thank you. Just gotta make actual pants, like I said this is a prototype. Need to make them darker, add rips, pins , zippers and patches to make it truly awesome. Thanks so much ☺️

[@pambrandon4186]

She is another stunner. I love your designer outfit for her. I think it gives her more personality. I think one snakeskin piece would have been enough for me.

[@KaysieRader]

I found four Heathers with the different dress variant and I bought her. Her choker was also upside down so apparently she goes to High Shadow 😂 The cool thing about the jacket is how she can actually wear it too! I was so happy when I found that out but I don't want to put it on her too much because I'm afraid the elastics will snap.

[@NexJen]

4 omg lucky!!

[@KaysieRader]

@@NexJen Yep, 4.. I was so shocked 😂

[@mysadending]

I am usually not into "skin" fabrics either but omg, I love her eyes and all the details. I just couldn't help myself. She sitting on my bookcase looking gorgeous. Btw lol the editing in the beginning was a nice touch. *chuckles in her adult form*

[@NexJen]

Haha 😂 thank you and ooh love that you love her

[@malegirlboss]

She is definitely my favorite but even though I love snake skin, it is a bit much even for me, especially in her second outfit 😆. Definitely wouldn't wear full snake skin print long pants with full snake skin print long sleeves... 😆 Btw, Jen, that little piece of hair in the front falling on your forehead is so adorable! ❤️

[@NexJen]

Aw thank you ☺️ and yeah the snake skin grew on me a bit but I think it could have been more than just that one pattern.

[@excision_2248]

personally she is my fav rainbow high doll of all time, like her details give me chills. like the snakeskin, bamboo earrings, and skeleton motifs all work together so well!!!! 🐍🖤☠️

[@NexJen]

Omg 😂 Bamboo yes lol now that you say that... Omg why was I seeing bones 😅

[@UmbraeNacht]

I’d totally want a goth SH doll. I collect goth dolls, so I was hooked on Dusk and Moonlight from LOL .

[@LeeDee5]

Google: "I'll tell you how far away Timbuktu is" that was funny

[@NexJen]

Or completely random and freaky out of nowhere LOL depending on how you look at it

[@saragreenfire4515]

I know a super easy way to make a mannequin! You can wrap a doll's body with cling wrap, then press it in clay to get the imprint.(DO NOT WAIT FOR THE CLAY TO DRY BEFORE FINISHING THE PROJECT!!!!) Do this for the front and back. Fill the two imprints with hot glue. Wait for it to cool down. Take the two resulting halves out of the clay (it should be easy if you did not wait for too long). You can sculp the space needed for the peg at the bottom of the two halves. Once you are sure the stick you choose will fit the hole, you can glue the two halves together, and put the stick in the hole. I am suggesting this as a craft video. I do not make videos, so I would be really happy to see this method being shared amongst doll lovers!

[@NexJen]

Ooh that sounds interesting I have a lot of hot glue too 🤣 hmm maybe I should attempt it 😃 thanks for the great idea❣️

[@saragreenfire4515]

@@NexJen Also, for another craft project: Electric tape is super useful! I have used it along with wires to make a pair of shoes (It is easier with Rainbow high dolls, as they have bigger feet. The rubber finish of electric tape is super interesting to make mini bags, shoes and more! And on top of that, it comes in many colours!

[@marchcomesinlikeanasteroid4114]

I love your videos, your reviews are always so honest. As a doll collector I always look forward to when you upload 💙

[@NexJen]

Thank you 😊

[@picsou_ponies6189]

I love how you restyle her. For her hair that is exactly what i thought of doing swapping the black and the white extensions. Also i did a video for Heather and Natasha which i’ll upload soon and i am referring to you Natasha videos so will tag it on my description, hope that’s ok with you :) love your videos xxx

[@NexJen]

Ooh awesome. I'll have to watch for it ☺️

[@shaylinsmith]

I was unsure about Heather when SH was first announced, but I loved her outfit pieces. Once I had her in hand, I absolutely fell in love with her! She's got such a striking design and stands out even among the other SH girls I have on my shelf. SH is probably my favorite line from the RH team for sure. Even Luna, who I wasn't gonna get at all, ended up being a 10/10 for me once I plucked her bangs. They're all so pretty!

[@Bellinha2812]

I loved how you styled her! It would have looked so much better than all of that snake skin. I do like animal print, but not in the entire outfit.

[@liuyue6510]

I was looking forward to this one! I think out of all of them she's my favorite

[@Rilesjean]

I had issues with Heather's hands too! I don't have any of the other sh dolls so I can't speak for their quality, but my Amaya, Holly, and Laurel did not have as stiff of hands. My Heather's tank top did not fit, it was too tight and I could barely get it closed in the back over the sheer shirt. Heather is definitely my favorite of this line, followed by Natasha (I might try to get a Natasha at some point 🤔) Also, the strappy heels, for RH and SH, are just so weak and hard to put on their feet

[@sandiemable]

Love her, but with the pants and leather top. It's most likely just me...over the strapless everything. I agree with you, Jen; what is up with the shoes? Clearly, the designer didn't check to see how they fit the doll. Great video! See you next time, xoxo's Sandie

[@thisbeem2714]

My Heather came with the hair loops! How lucky was that? I plan to also switch the extensions I juat haven't done it yet.

[@NexJen]

Omg really that's amazing 😍

[@rubberknife]

for me it helps to put the shoes with straps on backwards. the front of the strap is more flexible so it's easier to get it over the heel of the foot!

[@ayakotami3318]

Heather is gorgeous! She's my favorite alongside Natasha. 😍 Beautiful and unique doll. I would probably switch the bands too.

[@rabbitgirl316]

They're really missing the mark for band tees and bondage pants here. 👀

[@KOS_Krafts]

I love these dolls but I also find it kind of odd that their skin color is just a gray scale it’s almost like they are aliens it’s just kinda odd to me cuz they are supposed to be people I love the designs and I want emo dolls but the skin is just throwing me off Edit: I think I figured out y it’s throwing me off it’s the eyes cuz they are colored but the skin isn’t so it’s like a vintage filter but the eyes are normal

[@av19523]

She's the first one I bought out of the collection. Also one of my favorites! Hated the extras in her hair tho... because they were sooo loose

[@themozzarellabrothers]

then take them out completely lol

[@urgae9125]

You can always bend them, that’s what I did.

[@bobbynicole10]

Totally get you re: shoe straps... I cut my dolls' straps at the back; they're a bit loose, but better than this nightmare!😅

[@NexJen]

Right!!!?

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

You're prototype was so cute!!! 😘

[@cherryblossom0426]

I neeeeed this and I want the mauve purple one for my 1st two 🥺🥺🥺 her skeleton jacket literally made me scream like I want that jacket omg I live vicariously through this doll 😭😭

[@EmKoolaid]

Speaking of alternative dolls, I keep wondering if the wild hearts dolls are any good. Size inclusive AND rocker style? Curious.

[@NexJen]

We have one wild hearts crew doll and we loved her. Sadly we didn't get them in Canada so I didn't get a chance to really feel out the line.

[@VeronicaStorm98]

I have Heather, and she is my favorite Shadow High doll after Naomi and Veronica. The details on her clothes are impressive and her boots, corset top, and choker are my favorite pieces that she comes with. Her second outfit corest top also looks great on Emi and is very versatile.

[@DiannelLaird]

Hello Jen, she’s the only one that I don’t have yet. I just got Luna and Ash today so I’m hoping to get Heather soon too!❤️

[@NexJen]

Hi there. Oooh congrats. I love those two. Ah who am I kidding I love them all.

[@DiannelLaird]

@@NexJen okay, I will have her tomorrow because I had to order her from a city two hours from where I live, on Monday. I am so excited to actually have the first line I’ve actually completed, except the special sleepover society. I am still trying to complete the first three series and Pacific Coast. They just come out way too fast for the average collector to be able to afford them, in my personal opinion. Thanks for all your help in finding them, I really appreciate all your help.🥰

[@derpydemons]

Ooo I can't wait to see the next Shafow high girl you review!! lol I'm living these reviews

[@NexJen]

Haha thank you. I'm just taking my time editing and enjoying nature since I can't get S4 or the others yet 😂

[@Clownbunnycosplay]

Her eyeliner is sorta ‘anime eye’

[@judrawing]

I ADORE her, but I don’t like snake skin either! But I love her style, I was waiting for them to do a doll like this, I love BEGOTHS dolls, and she makes me remember them >< although I agree she could be more goth/emo/scene with other clothes

[@ClarkyWarky]

I don't collect rainbow high AT ALL! (Personally a Barbie collector) but I want this doll!!! She is so my vibe!!! From the hair, style, outfits and color! I'm obsessed! 😍

[@northerngamer207]

Honestly Heather Gray is one of my favorite shadow high dolls her and shannelle onyx, I just really like their vibe. I love heather's two tone hair and shanelle's dress.

[@Just1Nora]

I wish they would have given some base tonal variation to the snake skin; shade the base fabric in places with grey before printing the pattern. The concept art is a few shades darker and I think it looks a lot better. My only other comment...the black top? That's a bustier not a tank top... 😅

[@radiobase1972]

I really love my heather Grayson, but I def had some issues. Her heels snapped off the boots, so I had to super glue and her earrings were already popping off as I got her out of the box. However, I still love the whole shadow high line so far.

[@NexJen]

My earrings kept popping out too, the posts are really short. Sorry about your boots. At first I thought mine were faulty but they weren't. I was prepared with superglue on the sidelines lol. I always have that stuff at the ready when I open dolls, because sadly a lot have to be fixed.

[@alliepellet4415]

Jen that google talking had me thinking about the time my mom and i were talking and my moms Siri heard us and said she didn’t understand us and we weren’t talking to the phone lol

[@NexJen]

[@bejeweleddane6019]

My best friend and I got SH dolls today and she tore her shoes trying to get them over her heel. She cut the straps to avoid any further damage to it but otherwise she's having a blast with Heather!

[@NexJen]

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that. They are so tough to put on sometimes it's crazy.

[@abbieknights5880]

As a goth girl of course my main two favourite colours are black and white she’s amazing I should definitely get her

[@fadeaway2179]

When I got heather and first unbox her, I notice that one side is straight and the other side was wavy/curly. Did anyone else had this problem?

[@jennycorey8968]

So Jen.....how do you feel about snakeskin?

[@NexJen]

Lol not a super huge fan. 😂

[@zoes2827]

im super late but i find the easiest way to put her pumps on is to put the straps on first facing backwards and then slide them to front for the bottom of the shoe !!

[@NexJen]

Thank you I'll try my best to remember that for next time

[@acaciaevans4185]

I love Heather! Unfortunately, her second pair of shoes are my problem, her heel broke off. However, I still love her so much. Her hair has been a dream for me to deal with

[@makaylaalexander4749]

She's the shadow high doll that makes me want her mainly cuz she was two toned and her hair

[@caraelizabeth7307]

I am not trying to be rude or mean, and I totally respect that Heather wasn't to your liking in general - but you literally said you "weren't a fan of snake skin" a total of eight times in the video, and on the whole I just got a vibe that you neither liked nor understood the doll's aesthetic. Frankly, you sounded like a boomer, and I'm pretty sure you're younger than me. XD You have every right to your own opinions - but this came off way more as "I didn't understand the choices so I don't like it" rather than any kind of objective review.

[@serenitywilson395]

Jeeze🤣

[@jeanieschmidt3781]

Did you miss the "but..." that usually followed "snakeskin"? Jen absolutely did not "sound like a boomer" (good job stereotyping an entire generation, BTW) and... well, I don't know why you expect an objective review. Jen has always been subjective!
