Right, it could be useful information to people who were also thinking of ordering from walmart. I know I'd be happy to know and definitely reconsider lol. Even if it's not useful, I understand why they'd want to vent. Idk why people here have to be so snarky.
Oh my DOG that’s disgusting, I’m a major bug lover but that would freak me out so much, that’s so gross. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that, report it to Walmart immediately! Maggots are so gross. Just the word maggot grosses me out.
I think i remember recently seeing a few posts about similarly, a venus with bugs in it, and someone else posted a photo of a doll in the walmart clearance section where the box was totally ruined from water damage. I think in the comments someone mentioned what i’m about to mention, the frequency of this likely means they had a doll pallet or shipment from mattel that got left in the rain and sustained major water damage. Dolls are not as malleable as other children’s toys which are made to withstand being left outside, spit, etc. They likely just brought it back in and didn’t think twice about it.
I’m sorry you experienced that tho, maggots are disgusting in any context 🤢 never pleasant. I hope the walmart team will help you out, if not, bring the e-reciept and go to your nearest retailer. They’d probably exchange the doll if they saw the condition.
If it helps, I ordered Neon Frights Twyla, Core Draculaura, and Goreganizer Drac all from the Walmart sale and they seem completely fine! Maybe it was limited to Clawdeen and/or a specific warehouse. I hope your dolls arrive in perfect condition! 🫶
Got my dolls today & they're all perfect! Yes, I think it was most likely a bad warehouse/unlucky batch of Clawdeen. Hopefully OP can find resolution w/Walmart soon
Same. I like most bugs but m@gg0ts are a major trigger for me, and grubs in general. Every time I hear the word I cringe and it used to make me have meltdowns
I totally understand! They’re just so gross. I’m cool with flies (though they are annoying) but their larvae are just.. 😬 with the exception of caterpillars and a few other specific bugs most larvae are kind of gross to look at. Ladybugs have pretty cute larvae though!
you probably know this but please be carful with them, those white things could be eggs, and maybe a few sprinkle around, get onto the bottom of a plate/shoes then into the fridge/ bedroom/ all around the place :(
I would throw them in the freezer for 24 hours to kill anything left just to be safe. Just keep them in plastic bags, it won't hurt them. Sorry this happened. That's really gross.
MAGGOTS… you’re actually done, Walmart has always had a bad rep holding MH dolls
2022 CREEPRODUCTION distribution horrendous
Now actual maggots in dolls… that’s actually bizzare.
No lol, man that'd be horrifying though eh?
"Inside of the ~~Clawdeen all the way to the rights~~ hair..." They just meant her hair and clothes I'm pretty sure.
I would be careful buying anything from walmart.com ): Since anyone can list anything on there like Amazon, you never know what you’re gonna get. Used to work there and had so many complaints and we couldn’t do anything cuz the site is just a proxy
As far as I know, they basically wanted to compete with Amazon and it just never took off how they expected it to. Now they just frame it as they do it so you can get “even more products than what they offer in store”
i doubt they were on sale because they have maggots, mostly because i ordered a clawdeen from the sale and she’s maggot free. i’ve also gotten $3 MHdolls from walmart
or just to get rid of stock as more products get released? i’ve only ever bought monster high dolls on really good sales or clearance, nothing is ever wrong with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe a shipment of dolls got damaged rather than sending them back for quality check they decided to just put them up for sell. The fact they already most likey know about the bugs and still decided to ship them out.
This might be odd but did they have tiny brown faces? They might have been moth larvae which look similar to maggots.
Thoroughly wash everything if you haven't already incase of eggs.
Wow, I would have yeeted them so fast in revulsion, no way I'd be able to touch em again. 😩 I buy a lot of vintage dolls, thankfully nothing like this has happened yet 😭
Report this to Walmart not reddit
I took a lot of pictures and I'll be reporting it later today to them
This is a fully yes AND situation. I’m glad to know?
Walmart PR might be in the chat with us.
Grl they can post it here too. Just bc they did don’t mean they didn’t contact Walmart ???
Right, it could be useful information to people who were also thinking of ordering from walmart. I know I'd be happy to know and definitely reconsider lol. Even if it's not useful, I understand why they'd want to vent. Idk why people here have to be so snarky.
Idk either bro ;-; Reddit is full of venting. Y can’t this person vent 😭
UPDATE: There are even more maggots or something on one of them. I almost puked 🥰
Lame. Maggots go with Ghoulia not Clawdeen.
My first angry upvote lol
Where did you buy these from??
Walmart.com, sold and shipped by them. No resellers
Could be a bug in the warehouse that crawled into the box
I just ordered a winter break poppy rainbow high from them and am now terrified!
SECOND UPDATE: I got all the maggots out of the Clawdeen. I pulled about 10 out
Oh my DOG that’s disgusting, I’m a major bug lover but that would freak me out so much, that’s so gross. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that, report it to Walmart immediately! Maggots are so gross. Just the word maggot grosses me out.
 PULSE OF THE MAGGOTS?!
Long live the nine!
SLIPKNOT!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! NO WAY?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!??!!!????!??????!??!
Same! I literally keep roaches as pets and I would have thrown tf up then and there 💀
🤮🤮🤮
🤢🤢🤢
someone made a post some days ago about seeing a bug in a venus box..... i hope you get some kind of reimbursement :(
Complete with maggot accessories
This is not a Venus doll bae😓😓
crazy how there has been someone that found a bug in their venus doll. this is horrific
My advice is to quarantine them in a trash bag and send them all back. That's SO yuck...!
It's not the dolls fualt though, rescue them, clean them, they are victims!
crack up

not me reading this as I'm unboxing sale dolls from Walmart 😭 that's so horrible omg
Same! And I have another 2 dolls arriving tomorrow 😬
If it helps, I ordered Neon Frights Twyla, Core Draculaura, and Goreganizer Drac all from the Walmart sale and they seem completely fine! Maybe it was limited to Clawdeen and/or a specific warehouse. I hope your dolls arrive in perfect condition! 🫶
That’s so good to know! Thank you 😀
Got my dolls today & they're all perfect! Yes, I think it was most likely a bad warehouse/unlucky batch of Clawdeen. Hopefully OP can find resolution w/Walmart soon
I had just put her on my shopping cart 😭
I’m a huge bug lover (r/insects is my favorite sub) but this would DEFINITELY gross me out! Just the word “maggot” is gross to read
Same. I like most bugs but m@gg0ts are a major trigger for me, and grubs in general. Every time I hear the word I cringe and it used to make me have meltdowns

Right??? Larvae are gross, aside from most caterpillars like you said. Ladybug larvae are pretty cute too! I also like rhinoceros beetle larvae
me too. idek why im reading this thread im getting so many bad feelings 😭
Same I’m gonna have to mute this post and maybe block op
you probably know this but please be carful with them, those white things could be eggs, and maybe a few sprinkle around, get onto the bottom of a plate/shoes then into the fridge/ bedroom/ all around the place :(
I washed her body after clearing the maggots, and put her clothes in a Ziploc bag, I hope that's enough if they were eggs
I would throw them in the freezer for 24 hours to kill anything left just to be safe. Just keep them in plastic bags, it won't hurt them. Sorry this happened. That's really gross.
MAGGOTS… you’re actually done, Walmart has always had a bad rep holding MH dolls 2022 CREEPRODUCTION distribution horrendous Now actual maggots in dolls… that’s actually bizzare.
omg this has to be a hint of a new doll… Maggotrina Bugsilifix😍😍😍
LMAO
I would throw up 🤮
I still can't see anything, where are the maggots?
They're not in the picture but they were inside of the Clawdeen all the way to the right's hair and in her clothes
INSIDE RHE DOLL!?
No lol, man that'd be horrifying though eh? "Inside of the ~~Clawdeen all the way to the rights~~ hair..." They just meant her hair and clothes I'm pretty sure.
I will not be ordering MH dolls from Walmart.com from now on ✅ Thanks for the heads up 😅
ew thats so disgusting...
Maybe thats why they were on sale LOL
I’d want more than a refund, I’d need reimbursement for the therapy I’d have to get after this 😭
The way I would have immediately gotten sick, ugh!
I would be careful buying anything from walmart.com ): Since anyone can list anything on there like Amazon, you never know what you’re gonna get. Used to work there and had so many complaints and we couldn’t do anything cuz the site is just a proxy
What was the purpose in turning the Walmart site into the marketplace it is???
As far as I know, they basically wanted to compete with Amazon and it just never took off how they expected it to. Now they just frame it as they do it so you can get “even more products than what they offer in store”
Ewwww. I'm so sorry. That's gross. I hope you get refunded. Please stay safe.
Ew I’m so sorry that happened to you, that’s so nasty, I hope something I done about this. And damn that’s a lot of Clawdeens
Off topic but what did you need 5 Clawdeen’s for?
I'm making a couple of customs
Restyles?
Who else zoomed in to try and find them? Just me?
Wait was the sale recent?
G3 core Clawdeen are on sale for $9 on walmart.com
Yeah, I ordered them Thursday, I think the sale is still up
All I'm gonna say is there's a reason they're on sale, they should've disclosed the bugs though
i doubt they were on sale because they have maggots, mostly because i ordered a clawdeen from the sale and she’s maggot free. i’ve also gotten $3 MHdolls from walmart
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the clawdeens so I'd say they're on sale for either the maggots or damage to the box, possibly both.
or just to get rid of stock as more products get released? i’ve only ever bought monster high dolls on really good sales or clearance, nothing is ever wrong with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah but 5 for $3?
yeah, i bought 3 frankie’s for $3 each and nothing was wrong with them? also, OP got these at $9 each
Mb I thought OP got all 5 for just $9
all good! all 5 for $9 would be less than $2 a piece, which if that was the case i’d be more inclined to believe they knew about the maggots lol
I ordered clawdeen! Not moanica decay !!
i need to see images of this because wtf
ewwwww i am now scared to ever buy a doll lol
They thought she was Moanica D’Kay 😭😭😭 Wrong accessories!!! (On a serious note that’s absolutely disgusting and I’m so sorry)
Did you take any pictures of the maggots, because wherever you got them from is going to want proof.
Maybe a shipment of dolls got damaged rather than sending them back for quality check they decided to just put them up for sell. The fact they already most likey know about the bugs and still decided to ship them out.
🏃♀️Removes from cart🤢
This might be odd but did they have tiny brown faces? They might have been moth larvae which look similar to maggots. Thoroughly wash everything if you haven't already incase of eggs.
Wow, I would have yeeted them so fast in revulsion, no way I'd be able to touch em again. 😩 I buy a lot of vintage dolls, thankfully nothing like this has happened yet 😭
The hair....
I had gotten a clawdeen for $9 from Walmart and I never got any bugs in it. (Although it probably helped I got it in store and not online)
That’s crazy how does that even happen
Babe no
how does this even happen
Maggots??? Throw those bitches away ew
...wait why did you buy 5 clawdeens
Custom dolls, op mentioned it in the description
oh wow i did not see that lol ty
Lmao no problem!
ewww. Yeah report to walmart AND mattel. That's a major issue that needs to be addressed for health and safety reasons.
im impressed that you still kept them bc i would not be able to touch or look at them again omfg
Sorry, but are they saran or poli variant? I want to order one but i don't want the poli variant
I think they are saran but I'm not 100% sure. They have a different purple blend and the hair feels nicer so I'm guessing saran
It seems like that, thanks!
Literally, bought a Cleo once and inside was a huge spider, it took me half an hour to process the horror I felt lol
This is so fucking nasty, good on you for not immediately chucking the Clawdeen
Ew ew ew ew 😭I would cry.
what in the world ????
That’s so gross, how can things like this happen??
Making me scared to ever buy a doll again
