the lack of articulation on the tail and the casual fashion design of them just makes me wish they're just normal legs lol. those designs on normal dolls would be so gorgeous

MGA should've just updated the Project Mc2 body (with *original* Rainbow High level articulation) and given them a removable tail. And if they wanted to go the fantasy route, they could've just made them fairies! Give them Victoria Secret/Winx type fairy wings(while still keeping the gorgeous hair & faces), with the same high quality fashions/accessories! That would've gained them more positive results and a more massive fanbase!

I agree it’s a problem they don’t all have a stand but the winterwave line all come with stands and you can make the others stand on their tails by placing the fin flat in front of the doll. They are a bit top heavy because of their hair but with a bit of patience and repositioning, they do stand.

I'm from the uk and I work in one of the toy shops that sells the Slumber Party dolls. I'm just a shop worker I can't confirm anything! From my own theory, mga was approached by the company and decided to sell the Slumber Party dolls they'd already made, since they'd made enough to give to a small retailer (The Entertainer has over 100 stores across the UK but is nowhere near as big as Smyths). We tend to get in a lot of older stock from mga, for example right now we have a lot of Lalaloopsy, older Na Na Nas, and we are still receiving older Mermaze lines too, so I'm presuming the Slumber Party dolls are being treated as older stock the same as those. The dolls came out immediately on sale which to me seems to back that idea up. Sad thing is that they came into my location about 3 weeks ago and I've only seen one get sold 😅 They are very pretty and the hair gorgeous as always, but I have to admit the quality control is not the best.

The Entertainer had lots of Novi Starz dolls on discount when nobody wanted them. I bought all the Supernovas for £7. Thinking about it now I should have bought more Novis but I could not buy everything. The Entertainer probably bought the discontinued Mermaze stock that did not sell in the US. The same happened with Fail Fix dolls.

Being in the Uk, I was able to get Kinslea and Zuna. The thing that’s hated by most are what I really love about these dolls. I really love the detail on their faces and their tails are unique… just like people. I was lucky to get most of them discounted. I personally think they are beautiful. I wish more of them had different eye colours though and not just blue and grey. Jordie and crystabella’s eyes are gorgeous 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️… Im so glad to find a few people that appreciate them though. I don’t really mind the articulation too much as putting them on a stand would solve the display issue and the winter waves all come with stands anyway. I hope everyone who wants to collect the slumber party line is able to. I don’t know why we were able to get UK licence for these but so glad we did.

I didn't have any problems with the tails because I don't think it's their real tails but clothes like pants and skirts on humans, and the tip of the tail could also be an implant or something, even in real life humans can change so many things in their body so these mermaids could also.

I never ended up buying any of the mermaze mermaids.... Even when I was finding them at $18 I still was wanting to spend my $18 somewhere else. Mermaid high was also a little bit overly priced imo. They were $27 when they first came out. They're lovely but their quality does not match. Amazingly, they went on a deep sale and I got them for about 6 bucks a piece. I don't own any of the spring break. But I'll tell you I have them tacked to my wall and they are so pretty to look at 😊

I think you’re right. Novi Stars we’re obscenely expensive (compared to Monster High) when they were on the shelves, like Mermaze Mermaids. They also had limited movement (no knee joint), snow globe/gimmick legs, inset eyes, and the last wave was only found in Europe as well. I think their fins are kinda cute (I assumed they were clothing over their “actual” tail), and their clothing seem nice, but their pinpoint pupils that keep me from purchasing them. I’m hoping I won’t regret it (unlike Novi Stars…..I had so many chances to buy them on clearance).

I didn't know the Mermaid High dolls existed, but the Mermaze girls have been in and out of online shopping carts on my phone for ages. I adore the face sculpts (very reminiscent of earlier Fairyland Minifee sculpts like Chloe and Celine), but the lack of tail articulation just always stopped me hitting "purchase". If an inexpensive little blind box bjd mermaid can have an articulated tail, surely MGA could have these dolls bend at the knee? And yes, the tails need to look like part of their body, not a 3D printed prosthetic!

I have some. I really like their faces and hair. Though I do understand why some people dont like the eyes. SOMETIMES they do have a vacant look.... But they are beautiful overall. And how I see it -their natural tails are under the crazy textured 'tails' like wearing trousers. So absolutely no problem with that. I do hate that the tail has no joint and they feel so immobile and cheap, they cant even sit!!! The snow globe ones feel a bit nicer at least. Also not too keen on some of the tail 'fins' (when they are not symetrical its a bit too much) But I really do like them and I am not even a proper collector, (mostly just have a small vintage Barbie and Skipper collection) but they got me haha!

I also wanted to mention that I actually think canonically the tails are designed to be clothing so to speak. Kishiko and Harmonique legit switch tails in the show and doll lines, AND there is a doll pack where the mermaid can change tails, it's like a fashion playset. I also believe this more because unlike Mermaid High where their lack of fantasy derived from printed patterns on cheap fabric that give of more comforter and curtain prints than fish tails, Mermaze's tails are DETAILED. MGA's design team went out of their way to make give the tails texture, to make them look like quartz, like snow globes, like jeans, like sweatpants, etc. It is a purposeful choice, in my opinion, though I def wasn't vibing with it myself at first glance either. I do prefer a fantasy mermaid, but they're still adorbs. edit: sorry, this thought was just living rent free in my head, and needed to be expelled. I still think the dolls deserved a few of their criticisms, mainly the articulation and the price. It had so much potential though! I'm so sad. :(

I’ve seen the fashion doll pack and you just detach one tail and swap it for the other one. I also read that all the Mermaze tails are interchangeable between dolls but I’ve not tried to switch mine and the tail shapes where they meet the upper body vary from one doll to the next so it’s a good idea to only switch the doll tails if they match and also if the tails are low cut to make it more straight forward detach upper body. I think there are some instruction videos on it.

Idk how the hell anyone preferred Mermaid High to Mermaze, the quality and textiles were very lacking and they just don't feel quality...? If they'd been notably cheaper I could understand but both were in the $50+ range here...! Mermaze are gorgeous, genuinely one of my two favourite doll lines of all time and I ADORE the tail designs! When literally every mermaid line has fantasy mermaid tails, it's nice for ONE of them to stand out for doing something different lol. In the show it's shown they can change their tails on a whim, so it's either clothing, magic or they can change the colour/texture like ocopi can. I also don't care about the lack of tail articulation, as without it we got awesome snowglobe tails (and probably similarly awesome shit had the line continued)! People that wanted the rubber coated tails like Orra had are crazy, that material becomes brittle and/or sticky, cracks and falls apart as it ages - you can observe this in most mermaid Barbies whose tails are similarly constructed. tl:dr can people please stop whinging about the ONE mermaid line that did something different when you have LITERALLY EVERY OTHER MERMAID LINE DOING THE THINGS YOU LIKE?!

Honestly, I don't get the dislike for the Mermaze dolls, overall from doll people. The designs seem pretty nice, I love the attention to detail and they don't seem to skimp out on the hair. I do get the frustrations with the tails a bit, I find them sort of ugly sometimes but I do appreciate that they try to make them different everytime. I think my only gripe with them is their faces, I feel as if the way they do their eyes give them a bit of a dead-eyed stare, but that could be fixed if they reworked it a bit. I feel as if the dolls would've faired better if they made them mermaids who could transform into humans, so the tails could slip off, revealing some legs... the price point my jump tho. I wish the line could continue on and we could see them tweak it a bit.

favorite doll line tbh. Never been a fan of mermaid dolls but these dolls are really unique. I like all of the molding on their tails and how they made the tails "fabric" with molding on the first line and the snowglobe ones are really cool. Additionally the dress up doll had a fun tail changing mechanic (criticism: the clasp on the fin changing part is way to weak and does not grasp it nearly strongly enough) And the hair doll I was admittedly a fan of despite the lower material quality and the less detailed makeup, and it does start to amend some of the problems people had with this line, rubber tail with a joint, the fin splits to work as a doll stand. That said I am a fan of molded features on dolls and thus a very biased source. But the first dolls at leaet had pretty high attention to detail especially on the accessories and makeup and had nice hands. The winter line had a lot less attention to detail but had a lot of different elements to make up for that (extra jacket, sparkly skin, the tails just being very cool)

I thought the mermaze mermaids dolls were to expensive and the box was to oddly shaped, which I felt add to the price. I did end up buying one I found Riviera on a good sale. I like the rocker chic style. I didn't like the follow-up dolls at all.

I hate that living in the UK some doll companies seem to forget that we would also buy the dolls. I was impressed that I managed to get the new Venus though but still companies, remember us.

I only managed to get two of these, and it really sucks. I wanted almost all of them. I don't personally dislike the tails. They are absolutely senseless, but I think it's cute. My supposition is that they are probably wearing clothing over their tails, because different lines they have different tails.

I love the tails…they’re different. And i agree with others that i think they have the “clothes” over their “tails”. It would’ve been nice if they were articulated

i got that deluxe doll with the purple/blue hair at tkmaxx last year for 12:99 and i think i got shellnelle for a similar price there too the first wave are in home bargains now for £10 each which is insanely good. that combined with the exclusive slumber party dolls makes it kinda cool to be a mermaze fan in the uk right now

I also don't like that their tales are not "fishy" but when rmzhey went on clearance in my country, I decided to buy Riviera so I would have at least one sample. She's fine but her clothes are like armor, it almost doesnt fit her, there are too much elements. But I love their faces, I think MGA could still keep working with the original idea, it just needs a reboot.

I'm kind of in love with their face sculpts. I'm curious if anyone has made hybrid dolls out of them/ what the custom community has done. I sort of get the vibe behind the tails. It kills me that they're plastic, I think they would be really cool if they were fabric removable with actual articulated legs underneath. I do like the body shape and sculpt of the tail though, if only it had some articulation. I'd take articulation over sculpt any day. I also like the hand sculpts. I haven't seen these dolls before this video, so I think I'm probably going to fall down a rabbit hole and see what people have done with them lol.

I remember seeing mermaid high on the shelves, wanting them all SO BADLY but I was saving all my doll spending money for monster high. I have a feeling a lot of others might have felt the same, which is unfortunate because they're so damn cute

I got my first mermaze today half price in my local Tesco (whose toy department is now run by the Entertainer. She's zuna from the slumber line and I love her! The tails are a bit weird but the concept is these mermaids are dressing like humans so their tails are dressed in equivalent to clothing. I love her insert eyes, articulation, hair, stunning face, style and she stands up on her own. I'm going back to buy more at half price (£15 instead of £30) they are camp and bonkers but as am I!
