Monster High is BACK!!! AGAIN?! New Look, New Style, NEW Ghoul Spirit

[@jadawellman1562]

i LOVE the inclusivity and different body types but personally nothing beats the og dolls style and face sculpts and colors as well

[@lornadune2506]

New Frankie's skin being different is actually kinda funny. Mattel no longer has the permission from Universal to use their interpretation of Frankenstein's monster with green skin and bolts in the neck, so they had to tweak the design. The character is public domain, but their design of the monster is not

[@like_amelia_or_somthin280]

I miss the old face sculptures, but I absolutely LOVE Dracula. I feel like she’s the only one they got right, although I wish they gave her actual Pom poms like the rainbow high ones.

@@ryn4860 I think the new body types are cool, I just miss the old sharp face sculptures. It made them look more expensive and artistic, A high quality for collectors and kids. The new ones just look like very other kids toy, which is fine for new fans, but I feel like it just cheapens the look.

​@@ryn4860 I love that Draculaura is shorter bc she is supposed to be shorter. She always needed Clawds help getting her books, "it's because I'm short, isn't it?" but I don't like that they made her curvy. Nothing against the curvy, I'm quite curvy myself, but I would think if they wanted to make a curvy doll for made the bad kitty Toralei, or Clawdeen.

[@kstormgeistgem461]

the newer face sculps and art is too cutesy for my taste. i'd likely do a head swap between the og dolls and the new gens. because i Do like the thicker bodies of the new dolls. and while draculaura isn't my fave, having her be curvy-petite is pretty cool. i also like the prosthetic leg on frankie. it adds a bit of inclusivity that wasn't really there before.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

The major difference seems like the OG were more adult looking while these new ones look more like high school teenagers, less high fashion face looks and more year book faces.

i agree with you on removing Clawdeen’s nose paint,she’s a wolf not a deer & with the freackles and nose paint she looks like a deer (specifically Bambi)😂😂 “oh just a second Cleo, you have something in your hair….oops sorry was that your tinsel?🫢😯”💀💀😂😂

[@MikaelaCher]

The curl problem on the dolls hair is because of the hair type. Clawdeen has polypropylene hair which is a much much worse quality but i think holds hairstyles at least better than Saran, which is what the other ghouls have! That's why Torelai's hair didn't curl, because Saran has a difficult time holding curls and hairstyles. Don't be fooled tho, Saran it's a much better quality than poly

[@kattriella1331]

Saran is really good for straight hair, but it's a nightmare to curl. I've used Saran for several reroots. I will say I DO like that you can just sort of brush any kinks out of it eventually without the news for a boil wash, but it definitely doesn't take a curl well.

[@zwilliams331]

What she did with Clawdeen’s hair was very nice and seems without much difficulty.

[@alicine-sims8988]

I think this is why they chose to use Poly for Clawdeens hair because she is supposed to have curls, and I can't imagine trying to mass curl saran hair goes over well.

[@ShainaMakesStuff]

Good move getting rid of Clawdeen’s nose paint. The articulation is WAY better then I expected it to be. That’s nice.

[@rgennarelli]

I really miss their old faces. So much cuter before, but I'm glad they're making a comeback.

[@KKC97]

I'm so happy for a new generation to be able to enjoy these dolls, but for me, they're too cutesy and vibrant. That was something I loved about the OG dolls. They were "dark" dolls and Im gonna miss that.

[@Alex-cu6ud]

I will always have a special place in my heart for the og monster high dolls

[@ckind2098]

I think I generally don't mind these, and I really like the changes with Frankie in particular. But I'm not sure I've ever hated anything on a doll as much as I hate Draculaura's bangs lol 🤣they look like the front grill part on an old train

[@satanicx215]

The way I hated the bangs throughout the entire video over everything else and wanted her to cut them 😂. Frankie's new design caught me off guard, but it also made sense with them being nonbinary now and having more androgynous features rather than feminine. I definitely love the new body types and how Cleo's skin is darker even if it's only tad bit darker than the OG.

[@shxb9194]

clawdeens hair is polypropelene so it can curl easily by heat you an even use curling iron rest of the dolls have saran so their hair might be difficult to curl

[@adey126]

Clawdeen is definitely lighter shade than her original which I personally don’t like. I do love the thicker body shape and that Draculaura is curvy. Also that Frankie has a prosthetic leg which make so much sense I can’t believe it wasn’t an original concept.

[@MsDina0701]

It's like the new generation MH fused with the Cave Club and Wild Hearts Crew lines... I still prefer the OG ones, those are fabulous! But these dolls are not bad at all, not so fierce as OG, but quite cute on their own. They feel like the teens, as OG ones are definitely young adults. And the previous reboot looked like tweens... IMO, of course. I do like this adorable Clawdeen! And I'm sad that Frankie lost their green tint of skin...

[@rubygranger6913]

As someone that owns every single Draculaura doll, I really love this take on her and I feel like it shows her personality well. I never really counted her dolls as particularly dark. Except for a few, the 'goth' fashion was pretty tame and I feel as if these dolls have a good modernization to them that will actually reach kids and hopefully, keep their run longer

[@beexcellenttoeachother1763]

I think I personally prefer the o.g face sculpts but I do like Frankie’s prosthetic. It’s got a really cool design. I also thought your modifications were a real improvement. I’d have been so tempted to trim and define Draculaura’s V bangs though (I think that’s the style name?) But overall, I think they’re pretty cool but you can’t top the original! Thanks for another great video. Hope you’re well!

Honestly I don't hate this reboot, it could have been a lot worse. They didn't go too far off the rails with the designs, though I'm generally not really a fan of how brightly colored everything is now as opposed to the more muted color palettes of the original. Still, I like most of these dolls well enough.

I do miss the old Monster High dolls, they were a big part of my childhood and from a time where Mattel still released nice quality dolls (or at least better than nowadays), but I do think the new dolls are cute, just wish they're cheaper, since their quality dropped in comparation to the OG.

[@ipleaded]

[@jennynevers4811]

Oooooh, very interesting! These dolls are definitely better than the ones from the Gen2 reboot. All in all, I think there's some things that have been improved and some things that have lost a bit of quality... I love how the bodies are now even more unique with the sculpted-on hair/bandages/etc., body shape variations and Frankie's prosthetic. Also, I will forever love any extra articulation, so the upper body joint is amazing! What I personally don't like is that the clothes look a lot less detailed both in fabric variation as well as design (compared to the original dolls, I mean). Also, the colors of clothes and hair (and some of the skin tones too) seem brighter than the original doll line, which is frustrating. The darker colors were one of the main selling points back then to me because they set these dolls apart from all other doll lines and made them more unique and interesting. it's sad that dark colors vanish from doll lines again more and more. I understand why the bodies have been made thicker now, both in reaction to buyers' complaints about unhealthy body image as well as an attempt to make the dolls a bit more sturdy when being played with. Still... I wish they old and new clothes and shoes were compatible. The doll that impresses me the most, is probably Frankie. I love the more punk-y look with the half shaved hair style. And the prosthetic leg is really cool as it fits the character so perfectly. Only question left is... where's Ghoulia? I miss her. 💕

[@Name-d2t]

Ghoulia doll is a Target exclusive. I don't know why she is not in the pack though

I remember when MH dolls first came out and I was really skeptical about getting them for my daughter because she really wanted them. I am glad that I did. Just found them a few months ago and they are still in good condition except Draculaura and one other are missing a hand. Their clothes and earrings are still in tact, but of course the hair could use a little tlc. I am so proud that she took good care of her OG dolls. We have about 6 - 8 of them. Didn't get any boy dolls though, don't know why. My only issues with this new line are the bigger heads and the sweeter looking faces. I thought the OG dolls were a lot scarier looking, these not so much. They look happier and nicer. I really like the OG Deuce better too. Wished I could have gotten my hands on at least one OG MH boy doll. Surely the missing hands are still in the area where I found the dolls. So glad you removed the nose paint, ugh! Great video as always Toya!
