A bit miffed? Were you a tad discombobulated? Your jimmies, were they rustled? Lol. Personally, I'm okay with whoever they chose for 1 reason. If they're making this clear, if I am reading into this right. When they create a mini assortment with a theme introducing new characters, are they planning in advance, coinciding with the minis, that they will be creating large counterparts at the same time. Mari was made large and mini at the same time. They knew they were doing Rosebud at the same time they were making big Mari, so they knew all of this in advance, this was their plan. To make the flower girls large and mini but release the large dolls at different dates. So, theoretically if GBR, in an AU, technically was to be created and released post Flower girls, they might possibly have been released with a large Dotty or Baley or whoever coinciding with the release of their mini assortment. See what I'm getting at? 4 minis + 1 large of the minis then release following large dolls at later dates. That might be their plan from now on since they're more in the mindset of people want bigs of minis pronto. Do I like Mari? No. Do I think it was a smart choice prioritizing her over some others? No. Rosebud is definitely the creme of the crop, and they reserved her for later for whatever reasons. But I think we're okay for a while because according to sources we're not due for another themed mini assortment with new characters. anytime this year, at least I am assuming if those School Day/Silly Sleep Over are what I think they are. I just know we're getting fewer minis per year it seems, the fall assortment will definitely be Series 12 #5-8 Mint E.; Winter, Yuki, & Smile E.
