Ranking Every MH Doll Line (Emotionally)

[@ThEmoWitch]

Dot Dead Gorgeous was inspred by that episode where Draculaura gets big, pink spots on her face that she can't get rid of, so her friends throw her a polka-dot themed party, hence the name.

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

Omg I completely forgot about that!

[@bryan._.isheree]

As a person of color I don't think clawdeen was really whitewashed in haunted, only because she more so just has a gradient to her skin, but draculaura, twyla, and rochelle did as well, so to me it all works. HOWEVER I definitely agree with her being whitewashed or changed in scarrier reef and freak du chic

[@ruthcostigan4268]

I personally think her freak du chic doll fits with the noir theme, but the great scarrier reef one is hideous 😂

[@myroyalart9246]

I think Clawdeen's skin is lighter because of the pearlecent and semi translucent effect on all the getting ghostly dolls.

[@fridawarnemyr6025]

I've checked the fdc compared to basic Clawdeen and the skin tone is the black and white version with a slight lavender tinge. They did the same with Twyla, and gave her a slight teal tone.

[@Tiara_Princess7]

I personally love the pajama dolls a lot, but as a child I didn't. I love the understated makeup.

[@em84c]

Me too! I only got into MH a year ago and my first G1 dolls I bought are Dead Tired Cleo and Ghoulia. I want the others as well.

[@RuneyDude84]

This is such a fun watch! Especially as someone who’s not super into MH and doesn’t know all the lines, it was fun to see a bunch of different lines :)

[@fridawarnemyr6025]

FDC Clawdeen is just a grey scale version of her brown skin. It was then given a slight lavender tone.Twyla's is the same (with a slight teal tone), yet no one ever mentions her skintone change in any capacity when discussing Clawdeen, nor the fact they were store exclusives and technically a sub-line called Freak Du Chic NOIR. Aka noir films, which are black and white. Source: I've literally taken stock pics of a regular clawdeen and fdc, put them in one pic and then used the colour intensity slide to see what they'd look like in black and white.

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

I don’t mention Twyla in the same context because while she has a slight skin tone shift, it’s significantly less drastic. Twyla also (as far as I know) is not a character of color. You can’t really whitewash a white character so to me her skin tone change doesn’t matter as much. I get it’s meant to be noir but you can do less saturated/black and white characters while maintaining their skin tone/race. Look at series one of Shadow High, or even Reel Drama Clawdeen. Idk what stock pics you used cause I’ve done the same thing. FDC is significantly lighter than both Clawdeen’s normal skin under a black and white filter and also her Reel Drama doll’s skin tone.

[@fridawarnemyr6025]

@FaeryTaleDolls interesting. I've used the saturation slider on IG to do a comparison as I find the variations of b/w filters all give very different results. I compared the RD version once too which didn't look very different to me, albeit a tiny bit darker. Different screen settings could probably affect that, though. I definitely do agree they could've easily done a different shade of grey as the contrast between her original doll and the FDC one appears to be quite drastic. I say appear as I've only ever seen Clawdeen's "regular" dolls and not her RD or FDC in person. As far as mentioning Twyla, I specifically mean that most people are shocked every time I mention that she's also had her skintone changed. Oftentimes I hear the argument that Clawdeen is "the only one who had her skintone changed for this line" when she really is not. I'm not talking about the question of whether or not Twyla has been whitewashed. I have no idea whether or not she's poc-coded. Personally, I've read her as not being poc-coded.

[@em84c]

​@@fridawarnemyr6025is her Reel Drama doll the same colour I wonder?

[@em84c]

Shadow High Luna and Nicole have grey skin but a darker grey. Greyscale dolls are my favourite!

[@fridawarnemyr6025]

@em84c Reel Drama has a fully grey skin tone. FDC Noir has a dried lavender type of tone to it. There is some difference between the two in terms of depth, but I don't own either so I cannot compare them myself.

[@arianafox365]

Fun fact: the Im tired of this grandpa! Meme is from the movie Holes. A classic

[@alyssamarie9946]

I love your ranking videos! I think it is easier to see the dolls when the photo of the line is the main screen before putting it in a category💕

[@serenasilvercrest3154]

Very interesting video. I was not collecting any dolls when Monster High came out, so I have no feeling for any of the dolls. But it's fun watching you talk about all of the dolls.

[@meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow88]

omg i have skull shores lagoona and ghoulia and the picture displayed of them is making me realize how different my dolls are from the stock photos😭 the lagoona was my absolute favorite to play with so her hair’s a bit messy, but it’s also almost entirely different. the head accessory is way thicker and it goes behind a much less dramatic swoop/bang. her hair is longer too. she’s also missing her wrap which is upsetting but that’s on me lol. now, my ghoulia has this big poofy layered cut which i absolutely adore. it goes in many more directions than just sleek at the top and outwards ends. also, the sweet 1600 dolls are much more stunning in person. i have draculaura and my sister has clawdeen and cupid.

[@annerumain7711]

A trend with most of the F Tier gen 2 dolls feel like the gasping whispers of gen 1 and the few new ideas they had felt so slapdash/unpolished that they really weren't worth thinking about buying.

[@RichielaurensIII]

The catty fierce rockers actually inspired me to make a superhero based off that design. Never got her, but I did get not one, but two original cattys.

[@RichielaurensIII]

Also, I prefer rainbow highs cheer dolls because the designs are all different but still cohesive. Even the shoes aren’t the same, but still fit the theme.

[@RichielaurensIII]

Spectra’s dead tired I love because the dress can easily become a wearable piece outside of just being pajamas

[@RichielaurensIII]

I heart fashion was very important because it gave you characters only seen previously in sdcc exclusive dolls. I had wydowna and loved her so much.

[@marlafox9561]

Personally I think haunted clawdeen is lighter bc they’re all lighter and more luminous since they’re ghost and that may be why but the rest are stupid “reasons”, scarrier reef I think it would be harder to make a brown fish type work with the brighter colors since she didn’t really work with the line like their a electric eel and vampire squid and Toralies color matches clown fish and I can’t remember the name of her fish type but I think that clawdeen wouldn’t have made a good fish doll either way but changing her color wasn’t the best choice to me, love your videos❤ keep up the good work and don’t push yourself!

[@kristinaland]

I’m so sorry you keep dealing with technical difficulties on your ranking videos 😢 I agree with all your F and A/A+ tiers. And I honestly didn’t even know the Freak Du Chic Clawdeen WAS Clawdeen-I thought she was another character 😮 Electrified makes me think of Cave Club dolls! Wow Dessert really is horrid. “Comic book, I’m not going to even explain this, it’s F tier” 😂😂😂 Okay wow now I know why everyone loves the I Heart Shoes Draculaura! And just like Freak Du Chic, I had no idea the purple Great Scarier Reef purple doll was Clawdeen 😐 I really do love Frankie from Ghouls Rule. I mean the cat is really adorable in the Ghoul’s Beast Pet line 😄 Operatta in Frights, Camera, Action looks sooo good! As soon as I saw the swim suit line, I said the F tier is going to get fuller exactly when you did 😂😂😂 Oh no I’m so sorry none of your footage worked towards the end!😢 Yes Wave 4 is amazing and I really hope they make creeproductions of them!!🤞🤞🤞The image for Abby for Music Fest is cracking me up and I’m glad you drew attention to that 😂😂😂😂 So this might take too long for you to do, but when you do another ranking of the lines less emotionally, do you think you’d be able to point out the non-core dolls in the lines? I could recognize the Draculauras, Clawdeens, Lagoonas, Skelitas, Abby’s, Ghoulias but others I didn’t know who they were at all . Again though this might be too much for you to do so if it is please just ignore me 😅

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

It’s fine I’m just mostly confused by it? I’ll make it work in the end though haha As for pointing out non-core characters, I can definitely try! Not sure if that will make it past editing since it’s going to be a long video but I’ll do my best ☺️

[@kristinaland]

@@FaeryTaleDolls No worries if you can’t, it’s honestly probably a lot of work and I don’t want you to have to do more in editing than you were planning to!

[@midoriya-shonen]

Woah, Skulltimate Roller Maze Clawdeen reminds me a lot of the current swimsuit Clawdeen that's on shelves. The print on her dress is very similar. I wonder if it's a callback?

[@em84c]

Ghoul's Night Out Rochelle is my favourite Rochelle. I think because she doesn't have bangs

[@cymbelize]

This WAS a fun video! 😄 I'd be curious if "dolls that I changed my mind about", or "dolls that grew on me and vice versa" would be a good video concept. Do you tend to change your mind about certain dolls or are your feelings pretty solid?

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

There are a few dolls/characters I’ve changed my mind about pretty drastically (for example, G1 Clawdeen in general I’ve grown much fonder of over the years) but I think for the most part my opinions only change a little. I think 😂

[@c.w.2000]

I wasn't collecting during MH G1 and G2, so I find this interesting. When I look at all the dolls, I get the impression that people are fondly remembering the highlights and forgetting some of the mediocre or bad. Overall, it seems there was a lot of inconsistency, and so many dolls that there were still a lot of hits. It may be my bias in that I am collecting some G3 now, but I think there is currently more consistency.

[@ineffablemars]

this is so chaotic and I love it lol

[@carsonsager5917]

I think in freak du chic clawdeens whitewashing is because she face face makeup but still doesn’t make sense 😅

[@krisg4134]

Very interesting. I loved seeing the earlier dolls; thanks!

[@Whalesoundsarecool]

Im so here for this

[@sharonthompson672]

We SO disagree on so much, but there's room on the planet for all opinions. ❤️ I like the frou frou girls 😆

[@taylorkramsay5929]

Classroom is my favorite line of all time lol i was offended ! ❤

[@acousticcandle]

7:56 wait, what are your opinions on the 13 wishes movie?? that was a CLASSIC. it's probably in my top 3 monster high films!

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

I did a whole video on it! Short version is I don’t think it was the worst, but I think it could have been a lot better. Cool premise, iffy execution in my opinion

[@knight2002]

I don’t like Sweet Screams either. I see good design but it doesn’t jive with me either. I would give it a C because it’s good but I don’t like it

[@FIVESTARBLINK]

33:03 isn’t this line scream and sugar?

[@FaeryTaleDolls]

Yup that's my bad

[@vladbush1464]

Whats wrong with 13 wishes movie???!!!🤬

[@caa6909]

Girl bye. I’m half black half Latino and I definitely don’t think Clawdeen is white wash at all.. the way you’re expressing it sounds not genuine tbh just don’t bring it up…
