[@pkcell]

To be honest I like the new outfits in the context of casual school clothes. They're still stylish, but not unrealistic for someone to just pick out and wear to school. I think they should work times for more complex outfits into the plot, though.

[@Man-wolf-]

Thats the issue tbh-fashion dolls arent meant to be realistic their meant to be high glam and fantastical clothing wise, making them everyday joes ruins the whole point, their meant to be an escape from reality Sure its not realistic for a teen to wear to school but sgain its not a slice of life anime-its made to be an escape from reality object , a very glam interuption of it if you will

[@jackmartin4657]

U should look up the skulltimate secrets line that's coming out! It feels closer to g1 in design

[@msk-qp6fn]

You know what...you are right! I do recall thinking the G1 MH characters' shoes being totally ridiculous for school despite liking the look of them. I do wish there were more use of black but the new outfits aren't really that bad. Also, I do have to appreciate how the characters have more visually distinctual body shapes. Draculara is more pudgy, Frankie is tall, and Clawdeen is on the skinnier side.

[@dollzo]

They are unrealistic lol have you seen high/middle schoolers?

[@ItssMelissa]

As a character designer: I do not like a LOT of the decisions made for the reboot designs and characters BUT finally giving Frankie a prosthetic was something I was ecSTATIC to see and I'm so so glad that did that, it was always something I thought about being so cool with a character who's whole thing was that they were stitched together!

[@alexiebmw]

Ok since Mattel already brought back Monster High now with all the G3 stuff, they 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝙏𝙊 bring back Ever After High since they are both from Mattel which is the company that created both of these franchises. So I wouldn't be surprised if Mattel decides to bring back Ever After High, that is if they can execute it well and keep to the original demographic of the show that we grew up watching and not have it be a dumpster fire. I just hope that Mattel can at least give the characters more depth and character development like with what they did with Briar Beauty and with Raven Queen and I also want to see more world building, like with what they did with Wonderland in S3 and actually explore the woods where supposedly Cerise Hood's family lives in because if you don't know, there is a location in the woods where wolves and humans live together. So I want them to explore that and to also give Cerise Hood more episodes or just spin-offs because Red Riding Hood is my favorite fairytale of all time and I want to see Cerise be like doing her own thing instead of following into her mother's footsteps and just be herself, be who she wants to be and proudly say to the world "This is who I am".

[@Korophite]

Ever After High is pretty much dead because of Disney being greedy assholes, they were the reason why Ever After High died in the 1st place

[@katiaximena6690]

While the opportunity to a reboot/remake of EAH is not impossible it's really difficult to pursue due to Disney's Descendants still active and with no sing to stop

[@Korophite]

Cameron Boyce is dead so they can't go on without him

[@undisclosedprincess7958]

I would love if Mattel decided to bring Ever After High back and could personally picture them doing it as well. However, Disney's Descendants is coming back sometime next year, and that franchise was the whole reason Ever After High ended in the first place. Also, Monster High seems to be shifting more into the lighthearted brand that Ever After High used to be. Perhaps so they could try and bring back their old Monster High and Ever After High audiences. Therefore, they won't have to do a revival/reboot of Ever After High and be able to focus on only one franchise.

[@playererror4044]

If they did it would probably start in monster high, like as a backdoor pilot sort of deal to make sure the new fanbase see's it. My main issue is with the brighter style of the new dolls the fairytale asthetic might blend more... or it might help it out if the styles are closer, I dunno.

[@cyh2499]

I think Frankie's outfit is all made of that pleather/plasticky material because it's shiny and looks similar to leather and her outfit very heavily leans into the electricity aspect of her character, as well as the somewhat 'punk' parts of the character design. I've seen a lot of dolls that have that material for 'punk' outfit pieces (like leather jackets or skirts). I've also seen it used to cut costs so who knows :/

Medusa is related to the gorgon (I forget how) and pegasus was born from Medusas blood so the wings on his shoes might be a reference to that. I like it

[@unfortunatefish3322]

Medusa is related to the gorgon because she is literally a gorgon lmao, greek mythology consists of 'the three monstrous gorgons' from what I could find, Stheno, Eurayle and Medusa. Medusa is just the most popular/well known.

I'm an old fan. Glad you enjoy it! I really just miss all the character dynamics. I like some changes they made to some designs though.

[@ShatoraDragondore]

Lagoona is not selling because there is an issue with the sealing on the paint of her legs where it goes from clear blue to the solid pink. I think once they fix the way they are sealing the doll so that issue is solved she will sell as well as the others.

G1 dolls had it too (For example Invisibilly) so idk if that's really the reason

Ngl, seeing Frankie's design in the show, her doll does NOT do her any justice. I wish the sculpt for it was more accurate to how it actually looks in the show because she is GORGEOUS.

[@TeeFrog]

I have a first gen ICoffin (don't remember which doll it was with) but it had a back loop to fit over the 4 fingers. It was 2 layers, the top was the screen and the bottom one had a keyboard. The dolls are disappointing when compared to gen 1 dolls that had beautiful and layered clothing and prettier/better made accessories, but they don't seem like bad dolls. I'm glad they kept the articulation and the small details on accessories :)

[@wonderlandian-geek]

Have you ever heard of Twisted Wonderland? I think you’d really like it. It’s a Japanese Disney video game with kinda the premise and story of Ever After High and Descendants (characters inspired by characters from fairytales and Disney movies), but the aesthetics of Monster High gen 1 (haunted castle and lots of goth and punk outfits).

[@Rilesjean]

it's cool that they included the whole Frankie introducing themself with they/them pronouns in the cartoon as well as the movie. I was unsure if cartoon Frankie was also nonbinary like movie Frankie until seeing that bit

[@beepbeeplettuce4892]

I was really hoping the reason lagoona was pink was so they could make her one of those dolls that change color in water. So she could be pink dry but blue in water. I don't think they're doing that unfortunately which just leaves me confused as to why her name is still lagoona BLUE. Idk, I was more upset about it at first but new and old lagoona are so different they kinda just register as completely separate entities. So even though there's definite things I would change about her new character I can't really be mad at it anymore. Except the name that's still just confusing to me.

[@Ranixo286]

She is getting a hairplay set in the future so here's hoping she has a color change mechanic with that!

[@ann-gt4hh]

I really like how you review the play-ability of these dolls! Like collectors items are collectors items, but toys are toys. I’m super happy to see that these dolls have a ton of articulation! I’m partial to doll customization, so seeing that these dolls have more diversity in height/body and faces is really exciting! I can’t wait to see what kinds of customs everyone makes!

Okay but like .. if they had to change Frankie to blue ... wouldn't it have "clashed" with Lagoona also being blue? Not saying this would be the one and only reason .. but it might have played into things?

[@KaminoKatie]

That's a good point

[@alicine-sims8988]

Yeah I was thinking that too, especially since Ghoulia is also blue, they just didn't want three blue dolls in there OG lineup is what I was thinking. Having two blue dolls, and two pink dolls is a lot more balanced as far as color goes. (I also heard someone compare her to an axolotl and so I don't mind the color change anymore. Lol)

[@jangelorum]

Draculaura is OVERWHELMINGLY pink. It's just strange to have two pink dolls now, I feel like Lagoona didn't have to be blue per-se, but that shade of pink just looks like normal human skin. It's bland, she just looks like an e girl

[@Man-wolf-]

By that logic lagoona cant be pink either because we already have our classic ol pink girl herself draclaura , it doesnt work when the color they choose is one antoer main character already embiaded :/

[@undisclosedprincess7958]

6:59, from what I've seen so far, the series appears to be focusing on only Clawdeen, Draculaura and Frankie with other characters being the main side character(s) of the episode. To try and explain it better, the two most recent episodes, "Case of the Moondays" and "Portrait of a Monster", star Clawdeen and Frankie, Clawdeen being the main focus in "Case of the Moondays" and Frankie being the main focus in "Portrait of a Monster". However, in "Case of the Moondays", Cleo was only absent for 1/4 of the episode. This might be because the plot was centered around both Clawdeen and her, but then Clawdeen proceeds to say that the whole "summary" of the episode, was her Monster Minute. Moving on to "Portrait of a Monster", Frankie is the main focus as Deuce is in only 1/2 of the episode. He was only in it 1/4 less than Cleo was in "Case of the Moondays". However, even with presumably less screen time then her, he still managed to leave just as big of a mark in the episode. Hence, Frankie x Deuce is notably hinted at in one scene.

I think the most important thing about the reboot for me (and why I’m still enjoying it) is that it’s not completely soulless like some other reboots. I feel like the dolls still have quite a bit of effort put into them design wise, and the characters still have a lot of charm (which is half of why I enjoyed monster high to begin with). I love posing my G3 Frankie and Draculaura, they make me very happy every time I see them on my shelf. Yeah the show is different, and there are things I will miss, but I do think the people who are working on it really care and I feel like it shows in the little details of the dolls and the writing (Also I feel like people forget just how janky the og webisodes of monster high looked, and also how childish some of the humor was 🤷‍♀️)

[@jester_blackmage]

I like the designs for this generation a lot but I do have a few nit picks Such as Lagoona’s outfit, we won’t talk about Ghoulia, Cleo’s design makes her look to much like Nefera, Toralei only has 3 stripes when her last name is literally stripe also the animated ver of her looks a whole lot better than the dolls, I miss Duece’s shades, Draculuara’s doll’s face is a bit wonky sometimes (that’s not a design error just a printing one) but other than those the series is pretty good

“Because that’s fine, that just means I can input more adds” *immediately an add*

[@twrose3070]

My headcanon is that both lagoonas are relatives and that either the firstborn daughters in the blue clans/families are always named lagoona or that both lagoonas parents were close and wanted to name their firstborns the same thing either outta solidarity or out of remembrance of a friend or relative. On the topic of the legs if they go the route where in water she becomes a translucent blue to camouflage and on land is when she becomes pink that would be cool enough to be justification for the skin change for me. Apparently from what I've heard the reason that lagoona got the trendification overhaul is cuz she had the lowest rating of the dolls. Plus it's cheaper to use an already owned copyright of an older character instead of going thru the effort to obtain a new copyright for a new character. The girl dolls don't have ankle joints but I still love my drac she fricking gore-geous. Something neat that I like about deuce's reboot is that his snakes represent each of the seven deadly sins and they try to convince him to do mischief, I think according to their sin.

I was never allowed to play with Monster High when Gen 1 was around, so Gen 3 was my introduction to the franchise. Coming from someone with absolutely no nostalgia bias, I adore the new Monster High. Note, I do not watch the show, so this is coming from the perspective of a doll collector and character design enjoyer. It’s not flawless, of course. Some of the outfits are iffy and the shoes are less than iconic. However, I like more G3 dolls than than I don’t like. As someone who doesn’t usually have a lot of extra cash going around to spend on dolls, I love that (for the most part) Monster High is on the more affordable side compared to Rainbow High or other doll brands of the like. All of this is to say, Gen 3 Draculaura was my very first doll coming into late teen hood and I couldn’t be happier with her. I think, overall, Monster High Gen 3 offers affordable dolls, fun fashion, and a wider array of styles to appeal to everyone. I absolutely adore it.

This generation has actually got me back into the series and doll collecting. I’m actually excited for all of the future doll releases and already have a little wishlist going for both new and old dolls.

[@simmaslen5410]

Lagoons should have been aboriginal Australian She was already Australian making her indigenous would have been such an easy transition rather than making her Hispanic which don’t get me wrong it’s great that Hispanic people have more representation I love that it’s just Aboriginal people get very little to no representation so it would have been amazing

[@BeedleTheImmortal]

Yeah :( ive seen alot of aboriginal people say how much they related to Lagoona so it would have been lovely rep if she was made aboriginal

[@Theredpearl3113]

Seeing all those poor unsold lagoonas makes me very said she's my favorite character I hope she doesn't get shafted again like in generation 1

[@JunPhantom]

she will. she’s way too cutesy and her fashion is trash as well. it’s no wonder frankie and draculaura are the most popular.

[@Man-wolf-]

@@JunPhantom she feels far too un-monster high tbh, i hate how she just acts like a feral animal now even tho all of the other monsters dont :/ frankie still stayed similier to their g1 self why cant lagoona too?

[@lydiaperson7251]

just imagine all the new doll customization that can happen with these more indvidual dolls!

[@RaisonLychi]

I love how Toralei looks

[@CupidGirl4526]

I also think the Deuce’s shoes are a play on Air Jordan’s. Notice the silver band saying “Gorgon” which is funny. Duce Gorgon. Air Gorgon. Greek Mythology. It’s all one big pun.

[@Angryoyster]

My grandparents on my mums side able to use technology no issues. My grandparents on my dads side have to take a photo on each of their phones because they don’t understand you can share them. They are all about the same age my paternal grandparents just can’t be bothered to learn when they can complain instead. Also literally had no clue that you talk fast. I thought you talked at a good speed, never change. I think the dolls are cute. I probably won’t get any but I think they did a good job

[@nyettehforshort7131]

One thing I really like about G3 dolls is how the male dolls are more proportionate. (Or at least what I saw so far.) The og dolls will always be my favorite, but the boy dolls always looked weird to me.

[@vampaq]

I love the Fact they took Lagoona's Stereotype & exchanged it for another one. XD

[@RhysezPieces]

I went out and bought my first ever fashion doll because of videos like yours. I got the new Clawdeen and I think she's neat 😊

[@SockMan17]

I loved seeing negative review those dolls. I actually just boight them as my first g3 dolls. Frankies ankles are not articulated, but their elbows are. Its just the clothing holding their elbow in a stuck spot.

[@mandymagnolia1966]

6:39 literally I hate being the “young person” in my department at work 😩 I’m always being asked how to do techy stuff. Half of how I figure out stuff (that I didn’t learn in computer classes in elementary/middle school) is literally clicking on stuff 🤣

[@rebekkapr7726]

I have to say, I really liked Clawdeen with her siblings and i kind of do not expect her to have them in the reeboot, which makes me sad :/

[@katsushi2329]

Frankies dog originally was named Watzit but they changed it to Watzie in the reboot (i was very curious about them once i saw the dolls since i grew up with a Frankie doll which had Watzit and he was my go to pet toy.) He had brown fur, green and blue eyes and stitches all over him and i believe angel wings as well. They changed the design a lot i guess to appeal more into the "cute pet" idea

[@Pubbs_TheClown]

I think the reason Deuce has wings on his shoes is because gorgons are often depicted to have wings, this isnt usually seen in modern depictions tho

[@mikimorgz]

In terms of the reboot because a lot of other stuff from my childhood had been rebooted so I expected to be angry. Now I'm looking at it as, a new show not made for us og fans. There's some changes I wasn't 100% on board about until I had a think about it, like lagoona. As an Australian kid seeing her in the movies it made me feel like "hey I have an accent just like her she's like me". Because in main stream media there weren't a lot of aussies to look up to. Now seeing her as Latina Is amazing because other kids can see themselves through her and that's awesome as an Indigenous Australian.

[@midnightandari9258]

OMG, the second negative legend talked about ads a Spotify ad just turned on during the video😂 they summoned it

[@lunadragon7358]

Honestly, I just want jackson and holt to come back. I feel like they'd vibe with clawdeen a lot because she's now half human!

[@leonardo.diCATio]

I'm going to be honest, these are the best dolls to ever come from the series. The original G1 dolls were often criticized for having no body variation, used glue for the hair (which seeps over time), and having wonky factory paint. Though still immaculate dolls, these ones just fix all of those problems.

[@Starlightclod]

Duece's pet rat is named Perseus and Frankie's pet dog is named watzie, but it was named watzit in G1(I like that better). Also in the two pack they have no wings, but they have bolt shaped wings with the first wave Frankie. And they're not all metallic, so I'm curious why they did that.

[@j.a.d.5931]

It was stated in some behind the scenes influencer meet up with the writers of Monster Higher, that the movie and the tv show are in there own universes. Giving us the monster high equivalent of the marvel-verse. No idea why, but their doing it in an attempt to keep G1 around and make more live action movies. I got my info from another video of an KZbinr who attended the meet up.

[@angelcake5566]

No don't stop talking quickly, I love your videos for your uniquness and quick summaries and your quick talking is a big part of it :)

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

5:01 Ok, this joke got me. The eyes suddenly going static just cracks me up! First impression: The comedic timing in this show is gold!

[@luckybug479]

The new dolls are actually better than I expected! I think they’re pretty good! Definitely not the same quality that the OG monster high was but when you compare them to other dolls these days like Mermaze or however the heck you spell it and Barbie they’re really good! Articulation, lots of little accessories for some fun play, and little pets. Yes, there definitely could’ve been some improvements but I honestly thought there would be the same cheapy dolls as when Ever After High was dying and they all had moulded tops

[@Sophie_idk_lol]

11:57 Idk why people say they look more like teens… I am sorry but at like any school I know the teens have tons of makeup on and dress like top tier fashionistas

[@ravenpotter3]

I’m thinking there will be one episode addressing everyone finding our draculara is a witch. And by the end of the episode it’s solved. And then everyone magically just accepts witchcraft. And then they add in a witch character (because girls love witches right? Maybe like a human witch named Luz…) like maybe the daughter of the wicked witch (the green shade of her skin is copyrighted) or the candy witch (Hansel and Gretel) or the daughter of babayaga. Or maybe daughter of the evil queen… they could make her Crow or a bird name… not Raven because that is taken . feel like that would be fun. And be stuff that does not have to mess with the continuity of the rest of the episodes.

[@brittneycofey8753]

Luz...? Someone has been watching The Owl House I see 😉✨

[@KitsuneAdorable]

I watched the original due (as I’ve mentioned before) goth and fashion elements. It was wonderful that a company created a show surrounding a series that showcased a spooky but fun series, that made kids feel like they were able to express themselves. I admire that, as a adult myself, who likes to dress in a feminine but gothic way. I think I might give this a try. I wish they kept Lagoona’s original outfits and design. It’s now way to cutesy for my taste. And give back Clawdeen’s awesome platforms! I lived vicariously through her!😅I can’t wear platforms cuz they make me hella tall. 😭 I’ll definitely give the new series a try, as it does deserve a loyal fan base. I recently watched the movie, the songs weren’t my cup of tea (I’m not a big fan of musicals) but I thought it was good. I did get a chuckle out of that heart joke. 😉 I’m afraid I haven’t seen a Monster High doll here in my province in about three years? If I come across any of newest generation I think I’d purchase both Cleo and Frankie. I definitely agree about Clawdeen and Deuce. Why they the writers- broke Cleo and Deuce up in the live action movie. While I never shipped them, I thought it was weird that they would do so. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rulerzreachf4n200]

THE AD TIMING WAS SO PERFECT 😂 IM NOT EVEN MAD I got an ad at 11:22 for anyone wondering what I’m talking about

[@Zullala]

I love Lagoona's new look and her outfit... I just didn't buy her cuz of the incredibly uneven dots on her forehead. I know I could just take them off and paint new ones on, but I knk myself and I'm not going to do that. So I'm waiting until they release a doll of her without wonky head dots. Seriously I must have looked at 50 of these dolls and they all have weirdly painted forehead dots.

[@blueapple3789]

If the Lagoona Blue stock is that many, that only means that the doll isn't selling very well. It's the same thing for books too.

[@alicesnowackerman851]

Could you do a video about your doll collection? Like, about every doll you own, it would be really cool 🤍

[@eevee2Glacia]

An ad played when you were saying “I can input more ads, (but) I’d prefer not to-“

[@luckybug479]

Honestly, I don’t think the Monster High shows or movies was ever totally goth or edgy. The characters were bright and quirky and the colours reflected that too. I can see why the dolls gave more of that darker vibe though. Loved the old looks so much but I do really like how Draculaura looks. The witchy outfit is so cute!

[@AliceQuinnRose]

I didn't grow up with Gen 1/2 of MH. But I've been enjoying this series. The focus on plots around characters learning interpersonal skills feels really cool. Honestly whenever the shoe does a fashion episode I just feel like it's screaming "BUY THE TOYS" at me.

[@moonflower1616]

I love the Everafter High animated series. I was so disappointed they just left it without finishing! TT___TT

[@Halloweenish]

My opinion on the reboot: Nobody wants this, but we’ve got it, so let’s make the best of it.
