Monster High goes on and on.

Taking advantage of reduced holiday prices/ free shipping, I snagged myself a few more Monster High dolls to add to my collection. I probably won't photograph any of them until after the holidays. I've only deboxed two of them so far, and I have to say that it's a much easier job than trying to remove a Lalaloopsy from its packaging!

Here's what I got:

Dead Tired Lagoona: Very pretty face on this one. I love her blue lips! I'm starting to think that even if Mattel were selling Lagoona dipped in black paint she still would be beautiful. It's a pity you can't get her without the Hydration Tank! I bought her on sale from Mattel, but really, I don't know where I'm supposed to put that thing. Her hair is a little frizzy, but short enough to keep out of the way. One of her elbows is too loose for my liking...but she's so pretty that if I broke her I'd probably buy another Lagoona and steal her body. XD

School's Out aka Second Debut Frankie Stein: I only saw a zoomed-out picture of her online before I ordered her. I loved her outfit in the picture and I love it in person...but damn, this girl has some heavy makeup! She looks like Taylor Momsen! :O I guess I will get used to her in time. I'm just shocked because the original Frankie I saw at Target didn't have nearly as garish makeup. Toh ho ho....she's still probably not as bad as the Dawn of the Dance version...

Draculaura and Clawd Set: I got this set because I found it cheap. In spite of not liking the first Draculaura doll I saw, I like Draculaura as a character and figured I'd have to get one of her eventually. Why not with her boyfriend? This version of Draculaura is actually really cute. Clawd is pretty hot for a boyfriend doll but his head is huge! His clothes leave much to be desired, though. Without the cap, he has this weird '70s gay cowboy thing going on. XD I think this is a nice set to have. I just hope I don't break anything when I debox them. I've heard that Draculaura's umbrella is fragile.

I can't believe the crap that's going on with Abbey Bominable online. Does she sell out in stores that fast, too? Of the newer characters, she's the only one I like, even if she does look like a man. I'm looking for the Skull Shores version, which doesn't fetch as high a price from scalpers as the original release. Still, I refuse to pay over $20 for that doll. I have a feeling that in a month she'll be all over the place. Apparently, the original Ghoulia had the same crazy scarcity when she first came out.

I have to say, those Classroom Dolls come with some very cute extras. I will not buy the whole set just to get the extras!
