Hi, everyone! So, this post isn't AG related (as you can tell from the title lol) buuut I really wanted to get back into ranking things and since Halloween is coming up (ish), I thought I'd rank every Halloween Collector's Edition Monster High doll. So, let's get into it, shall we?
#12: Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein
In my opinion, this is the weakest out of all of the collectors' editions dolls. I think they did a good job being accurate to the movie, buuuut why does Frankenstein have plastic hair? This is a collector's edition doll, they definitely could have added more details. I think some of this is because men's fashion is pretty boring but I feel like they could've made good ol' Frank look more interesting. While the Bride of Frankenstein is slightly better, I really don't like the boots and I feel like her look isn't the most creative.
#11: Creature From The Black Lagoon
This may sound weird but I really like all the details they added to make it look like a fish, I think it's really cool. Unfortunately, I don't really like the outfit. I don't know why but I don't really like it. I also feel like the greens of the outfit kind of clash and I wish they'd chosen more similar greens.
#10: Morticia and Wednesday Addams
Now, this is a huge improvement over the last two dolls. I feel like they really did a great job with Morticia especially------I love how shiny her hair is and she really looks like Morticia to me. However, I don't like Wednesday quite as much. Don't get me wrong, she's a cute doll but she doesn't really look like Wednesday to me. I also feel like they could've gone a little bigger and more elaborate with these dolls, but, oh, well.
#9: The Grady TwinsNow, don't get me wrong, I think these look great! However, I don't think the shoes go with the outfit at all. I also wish that there were more unique details on these dolls, instead of just directly copying what the Grady twins wore in the movie. With that being said, I do really how detailed these are! I think their faces look great.
#8: Greta Gremlin
I think Greta Gremlin is absolutely adorable! I love her big ears (the earrings are a nice touch) and mischievous face, plus the little gremlin that comes with her is so cute! However, I really don't like her outfit, especially her dress. She's still cute, though!
#7: Annabelle
This is where it starts to get really good! I love all of the details that the designers included on her outfit and shoes. Look at the ''blood'' on the collar of her dress, it looks so cool! And her little rose sash?? Adorable. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I mentioned wanting to see Monster High add their own twist to existing characters. However, the only thing stopping me from loving this doll is how unnerving her face looks. I know that she's supposed to look creepy, but she looks like she'd murder you.
#6: Elvira
Ahhhh, she looks amazing! I think her outfit looks great and the big hair is very accurate. I especially like all of the little details that this outfit has (like the little dagger). I think this is a really great interpretation of Elvira. There are no complaints here from me!
#5: Chucky and Tiffany
Now I've never seen the Chucky movies (I know, I know, sue me) but I think that these are pretty accurate! I think that Tiffany especially looks great------they did an amazing job with her and I think that Chucky looks pretty good, too. My only complaint is that I wished Chucky's shirt wasn't cropped.
#4: Dracula
I love how detailed this doll is! Like, look at the cape and the shoes! I think that Monster High did an excellent job making this doll look like the original Dracula, while also adding their own unique twist to it. I also love the black-and-red color palette.
#3: Pennywise
Look how magnificently creepy this doll looks! I love its' evil little face and all of the details. I'm very impressed by the hair and I think that the red balloon and paper boat are a very nice touch. All in all, I think this doll is great!
#2: Beetlejuice and Lydia
Hey, I've actually seen Beetlejuice! Anyway, I think that these dolls look great. I love how detailed their faces and clothing are. I also think that their outfits look fantastic and I loveeee that Lydia comes with her camera and the ''Handbook For The Recently Deceased'' book. I think these are definitely one of the best Skullector dolls.
#1: Jack and SallyI think these look great! Monster High so often disappoints me with their guy dolls but I think Jack looks great! Look at how adorable he is! And I think that Sally looks amazing, too! I think these are definitely some of Monster High's best dolls.
So, this is my ranking of the Monster High Skullector dolls. Let me know which one is your favorite.
Until Next Time,
Awesome post, McKayla!! I grew up with Gen 1 Monster High and still have (and love, lol) all my Monster High dolls. The original Monster High dolls are a pretty big nostalgia point for me, so sometimes I have a hard time with the collector dolls because they don't always quite hit, ya'know? And I think it's exactly like you said, sometimes they miss the opportunity to add their own twist and really make it feel like Monster High. But they definitely have some that I think they absolutely nailed, my personal favorites are Pennywise and Jack and Sally :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, super fun post!! I loved seeing your thoughts on them all!

Thank you! I also grew up with Gen 1 so that generation feels the most nostalgic for me.
DeleteYes, I agree! I wish they put a more unique spin on some of their collector dolls, but some of them are really good.
Oohh, I agree, I think those are some of the best ones!
Tysm for the comment!
