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 Monster Maker Machine

Alright so I promised more tales of my clearance finds and I have one. Sadly it is not a good tale! I found the Monster High Monster Maker, the one that makes the little keychains. I decided to take a before and after picture!

Here's the before picture!

There is no after picture.

Yeah that's right, no after picture because I didn't do it. It wasn't me being lazy though, it was me being frustrated with a crappy product. The pieces fit together perfectly, However if you don't put the fabric just right it won't work!  There is also no way to take the pieces apart to try and redo it, so its a one time shot. After messing up a few times I just gave up and stuffed everything back in the box. I think I'll borrow the craft glue and just glue the fabric on the items, it won't look the best but at least I'll have the keychains I paid for.

Now I wouldn't really recommend this for people, at least not doing it the way they say to. The keychains are suppose to turn out really cute so if you want to get it and do it differently I would recommend it. When I get the keychains done I'll post a picture in another blog, to let you know how putting it together with craft glue went.

Monster High Scarily Ever After

One of my favorite doll lines to come out so far, I haven't been able to get. Recently, within the last couple of months, Target got an exclusive doll set called Scarily Ever After.

These three dolls are based on fairy tales: Draculaura being Snow Bite , Frankie being Threaderella and Clawdeen being Little Dead Riding Hood . These beautiful dolls come with short story books to go along with their outfits. So far these are the only dolls out right now in the series, and you can only get them at Target. That is of course if you don't want to drop $150 dollars on eBay for the three of them, I love Monster High but I would never spend that much on dolls. For now I would say these are best left for the collectors, merely because the work it would take to hunt these down for a little one might be too much. Then again that's coming from someone whose closest Target store is an hour away haha.

If these become available anywhere else, I'll definitely be posting about it because I will most likely have gotten them!

Monster High Color N Style

The other day at Walmart I saw one of the cutest purse designs I've ever seen. At Walmart they have a black and white purse that you can get with markers and gems to color it in.

I personally didn't get this because I don't need a purse right now, however I think it would be a great gift for any fabulous little ghoul. With the  large empty sections on the purse they can color and design it any way they want, making their fashion their own. It just helps promote the 'be unique' message that monster high likes to have with their stuff. I'm not sure how much it actually was, but I found it in the toy section near a price tag that was 12 dollars so I'm thinking it's probably about that.  Its definitely an item I recommend looking into!

Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze Dolls

Tonight I went out to Walmart just exploring as usual, they are changing their toy section around right now so a lot of toys are going on clearance to make room for the new ones coming in. I've been trying to avoid buying any dolls lately because of how much they cost to get, however I couldn't help myself when I saw the newest batch of Monster High dolls on the shelves.   One of the newest waves to come out is for the future game that is coming out for the Wii and the DS, due to be released in November.  So far in the doll set there is Frankie Stein , Operetta , Lagoona Blue , and Ghoulia Yelps . There are other dolls available, however they are exclusives to certain stores making it a lot harder for me to get right now.

These dolls are beautifully done just like all their dolls are, making them a joy to get and open up. Every one of the dolls come with beautifully made roller skates and helmets that are themed around the character. For example Lagoona's has a fish scale pattern and a large fin on it while Ghoulia's looks like a brain.  As with most of the dolls, these come with stands for collectors to use along with a little image card that has a picture of the character on the front and then on the back it has pictures of all four characters.  One thing that is different with these dolls is they do not come with brushes for the dolls, however with how the hair is mostly sprayed so its hard and stays in place there isn't really a need for a brush. The dolls all seem to have a green theme with them, the stands being a bright green and all of them having green on their outfits along with in their head. The fact all these dolls have different hair then they usually do makes them an even more amazing doll to collect.

I highly recommend these dolls for anyone who is interested in them! They are typically about 17-18 dollars a piece.

Monster High iPad Figurines

The figures have come out! Read my review about them here!



Some pictures have recently been going around online of Monster High figurines, there was four different figurines in the picture being Draculaura, Lagoona, Clawdeen, and Frankie.

There was a lot of rumors going around far as what the figures could be fore, a lot of people thinking they would end up as McDonalds happy meal toys. Personally I think those would be an awesome thing to get, however that isn't what they are going to be. These beautiful figurines are a part of a new thing that Mattel is coming out with. They are called 'Apptivity' figures and are going to be used in a Monster High iPad app. I'm not sure if the app is out yet, though it won't be the first Monster High app that is out. So far I know of two different iPad apps though I've only tried one of them so far. There isn't really anything else out about these figures yet, not even a release date for them. On the B&N website there is a release date of  July 7th, however they aren't out yet otherwise they would be listed in more places.

When more information about them comes out I'll write more about them, they are something I'm extremely interested in.
