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 Apptivity Figures and Game

Well, they have finally come out! Wednesday last week I had to go to the store to pick some stuff up, and out of habit I went over to check on the apptivity stuff. I think I may have freaked out some people near me when I yelled out YES! as I saw this beautiful figurine sitting there to buy!

Frankie Stein Apptivity Figure

There weren't many in the store when I was there, seems they are getting grabbed off the shelves pretty quickly so I was only able to get Frankie Stein. Even so, I know I will get the others in the set, Draculaura , Clawdeen Wolf , and Lagoona Blue . The figures price wise are alright, being ten dollars a figurine. However they are made beautifully, with quite a bit of detail put into them. Even just as a collectors item, these would be a good things to get! However I realize you all are not here just for the figurine, you gotta be curious about the game as well right? Well when you get the figure there is a card in the box that tells how to download the app.

The app itself right now, is an alright game. You can kinda play the different sections with just one character, but they seem laggy in response compared to Frankie's section so it may be best to just wait to get the other figures. Frankie's game is simple, you go around a class room picking up ingredients for a science experiment. When it goes wrong you create a metal storm you have to escape from. At the end of this, there is a thing that says 'to be continued' so with more updates there will be more parts of the games. I checked out the other games as best as I could, they all seem pretty easy however Draculaura's interested me the most. She's at a carnival with Clawd and wants to win goblins, so she has to play games. I wasn't able to get to one of the games because of not having Draculaura, so I'm not sure if its a game within a game or not. The cut scenes are cute, they are done in a comic book style and feature many different characters depending on what story you are working on. The animation in the game is also well done, the 3D animation being smooth like the movie animations are.

All in all, I definitely recommend this. It is a great, if a bit simple right now, game plus the figures are really cute. They are a great addition to any monster high collection, and I'm sure your little ghouls would love playing with them.

Monster High Fashion Packs

First of all I want to apologize for not posting last week, I was extremely sick and couldn't even get on the computer for several days. However I'm back and with a new blog!

So when I got the Dead Tired Dolls I found some fashion packs that I rather like as well. I had never been one for getting just clothes and no doll, after all I don't like changing dolls outfits, but seeing as who they were for I made an exception.

There are several packs out so far in this wave there is Clawdeen Wolf , Lagoona Blue , Abbey Bominable , and Operetta . The fashion packs are beautiful accessories for the dolls, the outfits slipping onto the dolls easily. They are beautifully made and combine well with other monster high clothes. For example, I had problems getting the slippers on my dead tired Abbey so I decided she was no longer at a sleepover and combined parts of her fashion pack with her sleepover attire.

The shirt in her fashion pack easily fits over her night gown. I also have the black fur shawl on a draculaura doll, it looks cute with the pink and black outfit. Because of how easy it is to mix and match these clothes, I highly recommend picking up a fashion pack or two. It gives your dolls new life and makes it more fun to play with them.

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.

Monster High Dot Dead Gorgeous

One of the newest waves that came out lately is the Dot Dead Gorgeous dolls. The simple theme of these dolls is that the characters outfits are full of dots. They seem to be ready for a dance of some sort, with dresses covered in the dots.When I first saw them online, I truthfully thought nothing of them except for the fact it was the first new doll of Spectra to come out so far. I only really wanted the Spectra doll because of my love for her, and I found the dolls to look boring online. However when I found the dolls in the store, my opinions of them changed fully. The dolls are beautifully made just like all the other dolls of course, but their look is different enough to make me want to get them. So far I haven't gotten all the DDG dolls yet, I only have Operetta and Lagoona blue but I'm hoping to find Spectra somewhere soon. Though last night while I was looking through Amazon I found that there were dolls to the series I didn't know was even coming out. On there it seems there are exclusive three doll sets available, though I have a feeling they are a store exclusive I'm just not sure what store yet. When I get more of the dolls I'll be taking a picture of them to let you see them in a picture besides their stock image, sometimes stock images aren't really good for the dolls at all.


UPDATE: I have found they seem to be a walmart exclusive, at least they were at my walmart the other day along with Spectra! I now have all of the dot dead gorgeous set that is out so far.
