Monster High is back in stores Friday the 13th.

Someone on facebook purchased the new MH coffin bean set from Amazon.ca, and shared the pictures of the box art, and the dolls in the pictures look a lot better than some of the previous leaked photos--especially Clawdeen. I still don't know if I'll be purchasing them when they come out. I guess I'll see how I feel when I actually see them in person in the stores.

Too much Bratz and not enough Monster High. They are stripped of what made MH, MH. They are not gothic. They have no spookiness or edge. They look like any other stocky big headed Bratz copycat out there. And of course, no Ghoulia. I won't be collecting them.

Looks like they are starting to hit stores. In hand pics of Draculaura are hitting twitter. The new stocky bodies are nothing like MH. Out of the package, if you didn't know the doll was supposed to be Draculaura, it could easily pass as just another Rainbow High doll.

Yep! I'm all for celebrating diversity, but I don't know why Mattel or Nickelodeon just didn't create all new MH characters with different body types instead of altering the appearances of already established characters. Its like giving a Batman a pot belly or taking away Superman's muscles and making him skinny.

Mattel just released two MH cgi music videos of the dolls. All the gothic spookiness has been pretty well drained out of the property. Not for me but I still hope a new generation of fans will enjoy it.

Not for me, either. I'll be saving my money. It will be nice not having to drive from store to store, or stress out over whether I'll find them.
I'm content haunting my local thrift stores searching for the OGs! In fact, I recently found the humongous Catacombs play set (minus the furniture) for only $7.99! Perfect decor for Halloween time!
