Briar's doll being discontinued is a huge rumour. She has one coming out in Epic Winter - definitely not discontinued. The rumour was started up around SDCC time to wind people up and cause a fuss. Briar has some of the most dolls in the show, if memory serves correct. I wish she could of been in Dragon Games but, unfortuntely, the cast picked often depends on which dolls sell and who needs knew dolls. Ashlynn dolls presumably don't sell well, which is why she didn't get a doll. Idk about Maddie, but it was way too early to give Melody a new doll as no one knew how well her doll sold. Holly and Poppy were only there because they make some of the biggest sales.

I completely agree with everything you said though Rai, except the thing about action scenes. The animation definitely isn't meant for it but I think it's getting better! The animation has only improved and I have no doubt it will continue to do so. (The thing about the character introductions being forced is so true imo it was awful to watch.)
