REVIEW: Monster High Self Scare ABBEY & VENUS

So I did a recent series of posts on my Insta where I picked my top 3 of each G3 doll, and I realized after that I'd completely forgotten the existence of this Abbey. I can't remember why, but I never took the time to review her. I just set her out with Fearbook Abbey and then they were part of the G3s I packed up a few weeks ago. 

Well, after doing Venus's top 3 and realizing I definitely needed Self Scare, I got her yesterday and wanted to dig poor Abbey out of storage and take some pics of her. 

I mean, this is definitely Abbey's weakest doll. The outfit is quite cute and her makeup is fine, if a bit on the boring side for her. I think it's her hair that I don't like. I need to take the time to condition it and maybe it will lay better. 

I do like her accessories a lot. She has some very cute pieces, though I'm not going to get them all out. 

Plushie Shiver is the cutest accessory. 

So yeah, there's Abbey. 

Now for Venus!

All her fun accessories. I won't be putting the bonnet on her, because I'll never cover up those pretty curls, but it's an important addition. Other lines have been covering Black hair care for a while now, so it's great that MH is joining the fun. 

I love the little cases so much. 

And I'm not going to pretend the succulent was not a huge part of her draw for me. 

So stinkin' CUTE. 

Amazing, as always. Even with one less point of articulation. 

Venus has the strongest face card in G3. Cleo, Spectra and Robecca are up there, too, but Venus has gotta be the best. 

I didn't love these are first. The blockiness is weird. But they're growing on me. 

Love. 

Yeah, I made the right decision. And I didn't pay full price, so I don't feel too guilty for spending when I'm supposed to be being good!
