Hey Em, I think the employee was definetly wrong. However, I did discover something that may have been the reason why the dolls were removed from the shelf.
The 2-pack (Cleo De Nile and Deuce Gordon) box I got is in spanish. So far I visited two Zellers stores after buying my dolls and they all had only the 2-pack, four or so of each and the boxes were all in spanish! Thinking maybe this happened with the other dolls at Toys R Us and maybe they sent the dolls back and haven't had them replaced?
I don't know.
I did call a Toys R Us (Different store then where the guy said the dolls were recalled), and they said that they are NOT going to get them again. These dolls are so hot, how can they not restock them? Do they not like sales??? LOL. The employee was probably wrong and I may send Toys R Us Canada and email just out of curiousity.
I can however say that I am able find and buy the 2 pack of dolls if anyone is interested. It is $39.99 while the singles I purchased were $19.99.
What's my Favorite doll: Frankie Stein! I Love her hair, tempted to get my hair done a similar way. Lol.
Oh....I also bought a super cute Monster High Bag. At $30 it was a unnessecary splurge but I loved it and it transforms between a two different purces, bag and backpack. Also, plenty of these left at a nearby store if anyone is interested. But no other merchandise at all.
