REVIEW: Mirror Mi Mini Luna

 

I only like two of this line and one of them is one of the more controversial ones. 

I'm perfectly fine with the fact that Luna has been turned into a fairy and gained a glowing fantasy skintone. She has wings. She has pointed ears. She's not human anymore. 

The best thing is that now we don't have vitiligo being made pretty and decorative, so I can actually spend money on this character. That kept me from buying her. I hate that they did that after doing such a nice job on RH Jewel and other dolls. 

I love her closed eyes and pretty makeup. 

The stand is not the most sturdy but it does its job. 

From the back. 

Side.

And one more of her cute face. 

I do think she's lovely, but let's not pretend there is $20 worth here. Not when Minnee cost $15. The bag clip idea is terrible for a doll with removable hair and tiny shoes. Something's going to get lost. I don't regret getting her, of course, but they're definitely overpriced. That's one reason I only want her and Suki.

REVIEW: Monster High Fearbook Draculaura

 

I walked into Target last night hoping to find the new Chococat Kumi for my birthday, and ended up leaving with her, Laura and mini Mirror Mi Luna. Was definitely not expecting the latter two!

There was only this one Laura and one Lagoona, so Fearbook seems to be doing well. 

Lagoona has the best accessories of the three, but I like this photography stuff, too. 

The little album with slots photos can actually fit into is really cute. 

Why are three of the four photos only Laura? Sigh. 

Adorable!

I bought her because I love the hair and makeup. The stockings, shoes and suspender skirt are also cute, but I had to ditch that shirt and the yellow hair thingy. 

I discovered I don't have any spare tops for Laura, so she ended up in...

A completely new outfit. Except for the stockings. 

I want the ultimate Skulltimate Secrets or whatever she's called, so she'll end up getting some of those clothes once I get her. But for now, I like this. 

She has some of my favorite makeup they've done yet. 

Glad I found her in store for once!

REVIEW: Monster High Fearbook Ghoulia

 

I've had Ghoulia a few days, but it was my work week, so I'm finally getting around to this. 

All her stuff that will just sit in a bag. 

I love that Robecca is part of her club. 

Best G3 Ghoulia. Hands down. 

She's so gorgeous!

Shoes, since her pants hide them. 

Not a fan of these, so they'll stay off. 

I bought this doll for her hair, makeup and outfit. The rest I don't care about. 

Perfection! Fearbook continues to provide some of the best looks.

REVIEW: Jakks Pacific Doll Haus of Dread Limited Edition Ghost Face

So color me shocked to learn that not only was there a limited edition of the Ghost Face doll, but that I'd ordered her from Walmart.

I wondered what the hell a bedazzled mask was. 

The only differences that I know of are the mask and the box. 

The box is very shiny. Not pretty enough for me to keep with my limited space, but it's nice. 

Black glittery stand. 

Bedazzled mask. 

Red mask purse. 

Horrible picture of these two pieces. 

The mask is iridescent metallic and definitely looks bedazzled. I love it. I think it's hilarious. Considering how the mask doesn't fit her face, I wasn't going to display it on her anyway, so it's not like there's any masked spooky vibe the shiny is throwing off. 

She's so cute! 

I knew I wanted her because she was a bobbed blonde that looks like Drew Barrymore's Casey character. 

But I also like the outfit a lot. It's higher quality in person than it looks in photos. It's got weight to it. 

And the boots. We'll get to those. 

She is gelled. I've since washed her out and she's drying. 

I just think she's adorable. People complain all the time about the faces on these dolls, but you guys have to remember that Jakks is neither Mattel nor MGAE. I don't mind repeating faces as long as they're cute. And seriously, how many of you have Bratz or My Scene? It's not like those have a ton of face variants, yet people hold both lines in high regard. So...perspective. 

I would wear the hell out of these. 

I might have bought this doll for these alone, but thankfully she also has other plusses. 

Yep, love her. 

People have been complaining about the Pinhead doll all day, but honestly, this is just as silly to me. The visible hair really takes away from any spooky factor. That's why I'm fine with the bedazzling. She's not scary to begin with. 

And really, guys, did you seriously expect a fashion doll line to have a bald doll with pins sticking out of her head? Did you? The beret is completely goofy, but it's also a kinda clever way of getting the look out there, complete with "blood," and having it still work in a fashion doll line that's going to sit on shelves at Walmart. Stop looking at the hat and appreciate the amazingness of that outfit. I cannot wait to have her! Without the beret, she's perfect. 

Anyway, back to Casey. 

 

Once again, love her. I'm fine with her not being super scary. I never expected her to be. I think this line did well with the themes considering that it's a fashion doll line not necessarily for adults. The only one I won't get, or at least not at full price, is Jason, because her outfit both bores me and looks cheap. The doll herself is lovely. I really cannot wait for Pinhead though!

Finally!

I finally have a Pretty Little Pups still on the card!!!

I've wanted one for ages. 

I've only seen the Scottie on card, I think. Several times. Or maybe the collie once, but that memory is fuzzy. 

So pleased.

REVIEW: Monster High Fang Vote ABBEY

Abbeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Quick look at the lantern. 

I think I voted for the ice pick purse, but I liked this, too. It's very pretty. 

Overall, I'm thrilled with her and the crybabies are just full of it as usual. 

I did vote for all of these choices. The lighter glam options would not have worked with this outfit, in my opinion.

I'm a little disappointed the headband is not as dark as shown originally, but I'm fine with this, too. You cannot expect everything to be replicated perfectly. 

Her makeup looks great. 

I love both earrings. 

I think people were whining about the collar? It stands up fine. 

It is literally fabric. You can use the earrings to put inside it and stick it up a little more. You can adjust it by moving the jacket itself. The key point is: IT IS FABRIC AND IT CAN MOVE. 

The jacket is also fine. As someone who thinks puffy jackets are almost as hideous as fanny packs, I'm glad it isn't some proofed out monstrosity. 

And the fabrics aren't "cheap." Stop expecting fucking Integrity quality from Mattel. You're ridiculous. 

I chose the other boots because I knew these would kind of disappear under the skirt. And they do, but they're also highly awesome. 

I'll give people a little leeway on the stand complaints, because they could easily have left this more like the initial image. Not sure why they added the pearly bits. But I certainly don't hate it. 

This is just wow. 

Oh, and her hair is not poly. You can feel that it's saran. 

I'm not sure I've seen any whining about these, but I'm glad this is fabric and not real chains. There's something about this that I really like and I think it fits the outfit's vibe better than chains would have. 

Absolute favorite thing about this doll. 

Love it so much!

So once again, we have a fine Monster High doll that people are complaining about for the sake of complaining. I swear, half the "fan" community gets off on the sound of their own whining. 

A few things may be legitimate, but most is just the unrealistic expections and entitlement of people that like to bitch. 

She's epic. 

Nothing but Abbey love in this house. 

Now, who's up next? I'm not sure who I'd like to see. Honey? Kjersti? Kiyomi? Actually, no, I'd like to see a male character get this treatment. I'm just not sure who.
