The Monsterific are out with a roar!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

"What are you going to do with the dolls?"

"Err, I don't know. What do people my age do with dolls?"

That was most probably the very first conversation I had with Sha-Lene when YSK first accepted these cute  lil' monsters for review. When I first receive Draculaura, my first thought was what a big head this doll has! To me, a doll is just a doll. You can't really expect woman over 30 to get excited over a doll. Then I got Rochelle with the prettiest skirt ever and with such a demure stare! Later comes Spectra with her gorgeous flowy purple hair.

By then I was practically having 'imaginary' friends with body of dolls standing on my desk! They are just so addictive that you cannot not get amazed with how these dolls have the most fashionable wear and limbs that can be plugged and adjusted as you wish.

Can you recognize the dolls below? Spectra Vondergeist, Draculaura, Rochelle Goyle and my newly bought Jinafire Long!

For this year of dragon, expect to see the ghouls of Monster High in a few series: Fearbook Picture Day Collection, Scaris Travel Collection and Ghouls Alive Collection. Now, you may be wondering what collection am I talking about. here's some summary of what's these collection all about ;)

Monster High Core Dolls Assortment - Fearbook Picture Day

The ghouls of Monster High are glamming it up for picture day with freaky fabulous looks!

Meanwhile, together with the rest of her ghoul friends, Clawdeen finds out there is more to the competition than it seems. In the City Of Frights, everything is not always at it screams. Here, Clawdeen and her ghoul friends get to strut the runway in their most fangtastic fashion adventure yet.

Fashion forward ghouls in the Scaris Travel Collection!

Monster High Ghouls Alive Doll Assortment

For the first time ever, the ghouls of Monster High are brought to life! The Ghoul's Alive!™ doll assortment showcases these characters' signature freaky flaws as shown in the webisodes on its website. Frankie Stein™ doll amps up the energy as her skull, rib cage and bolts light up to electrifying sounds. Spectra Vondergeist™ doll glows blue and makes ghostly noises as she haunts the halls for gossip. And it must be a full moon since Clawdeen Wolf™ doll tilts her head back, closes her eyes and howls at the sky with her arms in the air. Each feature doll wears a modified, over-the-top version of her original outfit, complete with a doll stand!
