Monster High Poster Book

The other day while I was at the store, I noticed something in the poster section that I hadn't seen before. I of course had to pick it up and look at it, it was Monster High after all! When I saw exactly what it was, I had to get it!

Monster High - Poster Book

This poster book is filled with 12 different 8.5x11 posters to decorate your monster high room with. The posters are beautiful, for the most part are colored though there is a grayscale poster and others that focus on black and white with a pink accent. 

One of the best things about these posters is there's one that has Spectra on it. Granted, she's not a big part of the picture, but it is a nice change to what I have been seeing on posters and merchandise. It is actually the first time I've seen spectra included on anything besides her doll items and costumes of course.  This may be a sign that they will start including her on more things. I was able to find this book for five dollars at my store, though I'm not sure if its available at stores besides Walmart.

I highly recommend this poster book! It comes with perforated lines making it easy to get the posters out to decorate your room with!

Monster High Ghouls Rule Dolls

This month a new movie came out as a straight to DVD movie. This is the first actual Monster High movie, called Ghouls Rule. Along with this movie a line of dolls have come out with outfits based on the costumes in the movie.

So far to this line there are five dolls, I have been able to get three of them so far. The dolls that are out so far are Draculaura , Clawdeen Wolf , Frankie Stein , Abbey Bominable , and Cleo De Nile . These dolls, as all the Monster High dolls are, are beautifully made and full of details. The dolls come with quite a few accessories compared to other Monster High dolls, including a masquerade mask themed on their costume, a card based on the character's image in the movie, and even accessories to set up a party of your own. Some of the accessories for the party include a silver cauldren filled with a green plastic potion and a cake on a platter that comes with a detachable skeleton hand stand.  These dolls are highly detailed as all Monster High dolls are, especially when it comes to the small details. One of my favorite things about these dolls, is the fact they are in exaggerated versions of their identity making their outfits relate to them even more. Clawdeen has a short hair spot much like Venus McFlytrap has, but hers has a beautiful spotted pattern on it to help with the wild feel of Clawdeen's outfit. One problem I've noticed with almost all Abbey dolls is the hair has a tendency to fall out easily, however I haven't had a problem with this version of Abbey. It seems that they are getting better about preventing that problem from happening, so if you've been avoiding getting the Abbey dolls because of this problem I would suggest trying this one.

I highly recommend getting these dolls, and I hope to personally finish the set myself. Draculaura has beautiful wings to go with her costumes making her one of my most wanted dolls at the moment, and Cleo has a very Egyptian queen feel to her outfit. From the clips I've seen of the movie, these fit very well with the movie and would be great gifts for collectors and children.

Monster High Cleo De Nile Vanity

Today I went to Walmart to hang out with a friend, I was hoping to find a Robecca Steam and a Venus McFlyTrap doll. However I didn't find either, which makes me sad. Instead I found something I never expected to see, Monster High stuff on CLEARANCE! Okay so anyone who knows me, I am the clearance queen. I will dig through clearance bins until I'm sure I've gone through every thing in it and sometimes will double check. So of course when I saw monster high stuff on clearance I went a bit crazy, however I'm going to try to space them out into separate posts since they are way awesome.

My first purchase with the clearance section, Monster High Cleo de Nile's Vanity Accessory . I haven't taken it off the cardstock yet though I will eventually, I just want to wait until I have a place to put it. I had heard of this play set often, and truthfully I never thought I would be interested in playsets. However when I saw this and thought of how I could use it, I had to grab it right away! I'm glad I did though, the detail on this is amazing! The table of course is Egyptian theme, but the amount of objects on it is wonderful. You would definitely think its a royal's table, which is very fitting for Cleo. The backdrop is full of decorations, including snakes and even flowers, while the legs have cats and other things. Along with the table you get small toys for it, including jewelry that I believe you can put on your Cleo Dolls. The chair looks just as beautifully made as the table, carrying on the same theme. All in all, this is an amazing playset and I recommend seeing if you can find it even if its not on clearance!
