It's a shame that it all went downhill, but I'm glad that it had such an impact on my childhood.

Don't forget the really cool journals that came with every original. So much detail went into these dolls they created a universe without even needing a TV show.

As someone who grew up with the original dolls. When monster high first came out I was in the first gradeand my mom was being her six-year-old watching something like that but now all of these new moms are getting offended at that they were too sexy it is called monster high for a reason they are in high school not middle School not elementary School what you just made them look like or fresh 6th graders.and not to mention that all of the old monster high dolls had creativity and personalities now every single one is just a blank slate and in order to find the old monster high dolls you have to go on to eBay and Amazon.

[@randomusername429]

They aren't really meant to be scary though. Them being monsters is meant to make them unique. A lot of people I know don't think that they are scary, and those who have were too young to really have an opinion at the time and where mostly just told by their parents that the dolls would be too scary for them. The dolls where all about expressing what makes a person unique and about accepting your flaws and liking yourself for who you are. They were monsters so that they could take on any design and look really different from each other. I can see where parents were worried, though. The idea does sound a bit worrisome, but I think that if people look more into the dolls, and especially into the webisodes and movies, they will realize that it is actually a very nice doll line.

The original Monster High dolls were so unique back when I was little and that’s why I loved them so much. I couldn’t care less about the whole “oh, they’re too skinny,” etc. because I was a heccin’ child, I didn’t think about their body type, I just thought the dolls were fun and I liked dressing them up. The original dolls were so detailed and they had JOINTS. I repeat, they had J O I N T S Why did they take EVERYTHING that made Monster High dolls so unique and fun, and completely ruin it in the reboot? Mhmm. I said what I said. And don’t even get me started on the parents. Parents ruin everything, I’m sorry. There was nothing wrong with how the dolls looked. If that was the case, so many children wouldn’t have loved these dolls as much as they did.

[@Cheetahgirl_Studios]

As someone who never cared much for dolls, the movies were the main selling point for me. Sure, looking back now they were a bit cheesy, but I loved them regardless and I still do. The art style was so distinctive and unique. Little tiny me low-key loved the gothic vibe they had. And the character designs were GORGEOUS (especially my girl Robecca. She was just perfect.) The main reason the reboots pissed me off wasn’t because of the new art style (mind you I was slightly annoyed by the change). It was because they got rid of almost all of the OG cast. The cast the old movies spent AGES building! Look, I actually have a list of casualties.

@@kayleelomas5598 The thing is... You're presenting discrimination. The things they wear, how they act, and what journeys they have gone through in the show allows character development even if they arent real they have real genuine teenage emotions like us as the season progressed they changed. All that is just horrible bias towards them and telling others what they can and can't express about WHO THEY ARE. You can agree on your opinion, but I cannot agree that parents should control who, what, and how we are... We make that decision. This is a teenage audience...

Quincy I have watched it along with ever after high, and if you look at the comment section the magority of the people watching are children. You kinda just said that you liked the show because they express themselves through their fashion, and although that’s perfectly fine for the teenage audience for the children watching they might start wanting to wear those sort of stuff and the parents might find it in appropriate. So if they want to bring their concerns to the show makers, then they should be allowed to do that without being shamed.

I fell like the new “welcome to monster high stuff” is a whole different story. Frankie originally was a new girl who wants to fit in. Now it’s Draculura who wants to fit in. It has a whole new plot. It’s not the same story. It has a better plot but the old version gave us more character development. I personally like the old one.

[@crazysmall.artist]

Me too!!! Everyone does

[@JinsanSama]

I think they made Draculaura the main character of the reboot because IM GUESSING her Doll always sold best, made them the most money, so they thought she is a fan favourite and used her as the face of the brand in the reboot.

[@JinsanSama]

I mean she literally was in EVERY MOVIE, even before the reboot. Like we could have a Movie without frankie but never without Draculaura. Which was probably also due to her making them the most money wise

[@liamii5603]

But the new characters are all so similar and they just made them splattered in pink. I know it's for kids but the old ones actuslly had highschool looking clothes and they we're still pastels and girly sometimes. And also the "monsters" like Clawdeen brothers or that jello ghost buster looking guy is just odd. Some movies we're simple, like the roller one but it thought us to respect eachother and to have determination.

I was so upset when they rebooted Monster High and completely nerfed my favorite character (Lagoona) into some weakling with zero confidence/self esteem.

To lose EAH to Descendants (which IMO is just not the same quality, sorry Disney) after that hurt so much. I really enjoyed both and I'm bummed what Mattel did to these lines. I'm still looking for an original Lagoona doll that I like but everyone seems to be selling the "new improved" doll only -- probably because the original dolls were so much better. These shows will forever live in my memories!

As a young Southeast Asian kid, Barbie was never a catalyst in any of my and my peer's body-related self esteem issues, it was always due colonialism and society's expectations. The people who get extreme and unhealthy cosmetic/plastic surgery to become "barbie-like" are all adults with a problem (and extra money), they don't even look like Barbie, it's all just extreme proportions.

Their whole characters have been changed :( they got rid of tons of them and gave them weird little siblings that clash with their canon backstories.

the diaries did not come with the reboot, the diaries cane with new characters, but as far as i know, moanica, silvi, and the other new characters did not come with diaries

Eh, that’s a weak argument. If anything there’s even less of an excuse to be so skinny, it’s never wrong to push against the beauty standards. I say this as someone who loves MH btw so don’t try me.

Exactly literally every other doll is like that? Why don't they complain about barbie or winx. OR LITERALLY ANY OTHER DOLL COMPANY. Maybe instead of blaming dolls, they should learn how to be a good parent and teach their children self love.

Favorite character: Frankie. She's sweet. Favorite design: Draculaura. She's super cute(how does she do her makeup without seeing herself?

[@kai_maceration]

I remember one scene where she put on lip stick, and it stayed there for a second in the reflection but then faded away. So I guess she can see it for long enough to see how it looks.

[@somealpaca820]

Fun fact! Back in the olden days, mirrors were made with silver. Silver is effective against supernatural stuff, but nowadays they're made of aluminum or some other thing. So she'd actually be able to see herself with modern mirrors lol

[@kai_maceration]

@@somealpaca820 wow that's really cool!

[@drsnake8744]

If i remember the ds game properly she doesnt, but in the series there is a scene where she does......I dunno its sorta inconsistent whether she can or cant

[@little0legend]

I really like the message that Monster High sent and all the cool special characters and their separate plots that it had. Like a cyclops girl (who is already an unusual look) dating a minotaur or zombies who are actually slow. Also the main idea that different quirks of your own body make you special and cool was shown so uniquely that I think it was the best franchise of its time.

[@fourian_]

Honestly, I loved Monster High when I was in 3rd grade. I lived with a neglectful mother back then, so Monster High was a pretty big escape for me. I had the movies, so many of the dolls, and the books. I absolutely loved all of it. When I moved away from my mother, I fell out of monster high slowly and slowly. Recently, one of my friends and I rewatched all of the movies (even the ones I haven't seen) and we still loved them. To me, they're really enjoyable and super cheesy, but that's where I find the charm in it. In other words, god damn I love Monster High. Except for the reboot. The reboot never really held my attention.

[@cm9231]

That's good to know :) hope your situation and relationship with your mother improved. Hope you're well 💜

[@ghostlylex5083]

I’m a goth kid who was raised with monster high dolls, I have no words to express the love and devotion I had to monster high growing up. I loved the movies, the show, the old website, and the dolls even more. I loved the funny monster jokes, the cool more alternative / monster feel of everything. They were the more alternative barbie collection, and they were amazing. It was about friendship and the importance of being kind while also being themselves, freaky flaws and all. And to see it rebooted broke my heart, the fact that they changed the overall plot and ruined the couples in the original store is heart breaking. I just want them to go back to the original monster high and listen to the actual FANS instead of the parents.

[@Violet-qf8dr]

As a mom I was so excited when my daughter started liking MH instead of Barbie. I loved the fashion and especially all the amazing hairstyles and colors.

[@ems9445]

i made this booklet of monster high, i would go on their website and draw the characters and write their characteristics and i even brought it to show and tell cause i was so proud of the drawings cause they were freehand and i drew so many, like there were a lot of pages lol. im sad i can't find it anymore but i loved monster high so much

[@Grace-vy2fj]

I absolutely love that everyone loves monster high. I'm the absolute opposite of goth(my style and likes being more cute and bubble gum pop-ish) but they're so special to me. The whole point of Monster high was to let people pick whatever style and things they like. 🥺💞

[@ems9445]

@@Grace-vy2fj same! i'm not goth or anything like that i'm just basic i would say but i loved them so much, they were so unique, they weren't like barbie where she looks the same every single time just different clothes
