REVIEW: Monster High ROBECCA STEAM

FINALLY!!!!

I've been wanting to see Robecca again for ages! 

I do find it really weird that first, it took so long for G3 to put out Skelita when she'd been on the show for a while, and second, that we got Robecca so fast after she was announced while we're still waiting on Skelita. When will the US be allowed Skelita? I need to break her out of that body-shaming plastic piece of crap they stuck on her! 

Annnnnnnnnnyway. 

ROBECCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Remember when we first saw her and all the haters were whining that she looked more like EAH and not robot enough? Then she came out and they're all dying over her? Typical. 

Accessories. The quill! 

OMG, Captain Penny. He is a lot more cutesy than the original and I do love the grumpy original, but this one is cute. Undeniably cute. 

I'm not a big fan of the purse. I don't hate the mixed metals like some people do, which I do consider a valid complaint, but I definitely feel like they did a bit too much gold. The purse should have been copper. And it looks weird, because you know those are chains on the bottom and they just stick straight out instead of, you know, acting like real chains. 

Also not a fan of the necklace, because it does not want to lay straight. But she looks like she's missing something without it, so it stays. 

These are really cute, though they should have been a bit thicker like actual goggles, not glasses cosplaying as goggles. Still, a great piece otherwise. 

Gah, the bottle. 

Mine's right wrist joint is a little weak, so getting her to hold the bottle up is tricky. 

She is near perfection. I don't have any major criticisms, only little things that I would have tweaked. Like the purse being copper, the chains being different somehow, the blouse could have been ivory and I wish it was a separate piece. I do love the idea of her in bloomers, so maybe a future Robecca could do that. 

Actually, I do have one complaint. Her hair was not great. It had a ton of snarls I had to remove and it's a little frizzy-looking at the ends. I really expected better hair. 

I didn't take photos of her body, because everyone else has by now, but it is amazing. I love her earrings, too. 

Her face is absolutely stunning. Yes, she's sweet-looking but that doesn't mean she doesn't fit in with other MH dolls. She just doesn't have the more sultry adult look like G1 did. Let's face it, guys, the G1 doll did not look like the teen she was supposed to be. This one does. G1 Robecca is gorgeous but she was definitely one of the older-looking dolls, so that really shouldn't be held against this one. Anything actually age-appropriate about G3 should never be held against the line and I'm sick of people doing that. 

I hope we get another Robecca soon! There's so much they can do with her! And Indian rep for the win. I always considered G1 Robecca to be Indian, so it's nice to have that confirmed for G3.
