Talk:Scraps Stitched 'N' Sewn/@comment-5379435-20130912055043

I almost feel bad for non-Americans. In a sense, MGA doesn't widely endorse or promote their holiday characters quite on the same level as their regular ones. MGA doesn't go and announce, "And here is Sprouts! Or here is Lucky!" Nope, they keep those characters on the down low because they know they'd sound like "donkey's butts" if they kept going on about dolls that MANY other countries can't get. And the downside is - it's THESE minis that end up getting large dolls. Look at Ivory, and now Scraps. When little kids get Scraps, a lot of them will never have even had the opportunity to have gotten her mini form, even if they were collecting Lalaloopsy during its release in Fall 2012. It's kind of a tease. "Here's her big version, World. Don't ask about the mini of her though, only the Americans got her, and that was a year ago." In a way, while I am glad MGA shows love to the holiday characters, it's also a bitter move for other countries who probably haven't even heard of Scraps until just recently. And don't expect MGA to pump out mini Scraps for other countries, thus breaking their exclusive partnership with Target and thus destroying her limited edition value.
