So I actually managed to last about 3 weeks not buying Monster High (who’d have thought I could) and last week I drove over to TRUs on a hunch that they may have restocked with some ghouls I didn’t have yet. I came home with both I Love Fashion Frankie and Abbey, Draculaura with her Powder Room and Ghoulia with her Scooter. All four dolls are awesome in their own way – Frankie and Abbey look edgy with their offbeat make-up, Draculaura looks really cute and you have to love Count Fabulous in a robe. The stand out of the four to me though is Ghoulia:
She’s so cool I don’t know where to begin.
- The headlight is an eyeball
- The front wheel axle thing is a skeletal hand
- Those boots!
- Helmet for Sir Hoots-A-Lot
- Kick stand of bones
- Brain seat
- Cup holder
- Those boots!!
Cons?
- No Slow Moe doll included
- ???
The random cherry design is not normally associated with Ghoulia but I like it, something different to look at than the dripping blood and brains she’s always paired with. I have to say I loved the scooter so much I put it in my display cabinet. That’s right, I have no room left in that cabinet, but I *made* room for Ghoulia and her scooter.
I love her green lips. Her backpack has a skeletal hand sticking out the side too, intended to be used as a zipper.
In more MH news, SDCC Scarah Screams and Hoodude Voodoo made their way to me today – and if you count Hoodude that brings my total of Monster High dolls to 93. Getting closer to the big 100.
