This is been rumored since last fall. It's official, they are going to be cuter and less scary.
I guess their freaky flaws didn't make them unique or beautiful just the way they were for enough people. I personally blame too many unappealing themes too far removed from the original idea of sons and daughters of classic movie monsters for the decline in sales. Like the recent Scarier Reef, for example. I'm not exactly surprised an entire wave of Octopus themed dolls didn't really fly off the shelves. Several near impossible to get comic con exclusive dolls probably upset a lot of kids and collectors as well.
Worst, for me, it sounds like my favorite character, Ghoulia, is not being included in the reboot. Apparently, a nerdy girl with glasses isn't good enough for Monster High anymore. She is being replaced by a more glamorous Zombie called Moanica D'Kay.
