Monster High Dolls were released before Christmas 2010. This year they are even bigger and have so many more dolls added to the range. Besides the original dolls we have now seen the Gloom Beach and Dead Tired series. Along with that has been the addition of further dolls such as Ghoulia Yelps, Jackson Jekyll, Holt Hyde, Clawd Wolf and Spectra Vondergeist. Another doll is due for release soon called Abbey Abominable. These dolls are awesome and it’s great to see them modeled on how real high schools operate as well as including boy dolls in the series. Below is an article I wrote when Monster High Dolls first came out. I have added the latest dolls into the list of characters.
Monster High Dolls are here which is very thrilling news for doll fans. Monster High Dolls are new from Mattel and are part of their new entertainment franchise.. Monster High Dolls are theteenaged children of famous monsters but really cool children. They all go to Monster High together and have to deal with fitting in and making friends. Monster High Dolls are at last a doll with a difference which will appeal to many.
Monster High Dolls are a little weird looking but at the same time really stylish. They all look really stylish and freakishly fabulous. Each doll comes with a pet, an accessory, a brush, a stand and a diary with a secret code that can unlock things on the website. The code gives you inside information on new characters, games and activities. The characters are all unique as they each have their own freaky flaw such as frankie Stein comin apart at the seams.

So far Mattell hasn’t released a full range of dolls clothes but that is all to come. While waiting Bratz clothes will fit Monster High Dolls. The dolls are all articulated with the arms coming apart at the wrists and elbows to make it easier to dress them. This does make them unsuitable for younger children and the fact that the earrings also can be changed. The good news for the younger kids is there is a plush version of the dolls. Yes, Mattel has thought of everything.
As I mentioned before Mattel is planning huge things for the Monster High franchise. There’s an interactive website where you can watch animated webisodes. Mattel is planning to release a further collection of dolls called “Dawn Of The Dance” where the dolls will be wearing 80′s style clothes to the school dance. There are also other versions planned too such as the “Dead Tired”series. A full live action feature film is coming out with Universal pictures which will propel Monster High even further.
Of course a Universal Picture can’t be released without a full range of clothes, handbags, shoes, fashion accessories, hair accessories, jewelry, socks, slippers, costumes, you name it Monster High will have it. There’s a series of Monster High books written by Lisi Harrison who is the New York Times #1 best selling young adult author which will be released over the coming years. An animated 30 minute special is coming featuring music from “American Idol” star Allison Iraheta.
Twilight has launched a worldwide phenomenon with vampires and werewolves but there’s a whole demographic of kids that are just a bit too young for that but are just as equally fascinated by all things ghoulish. Monster High will definitely appeal to them. The Monster High franchise and in particular the Monster High Dolls are going to be a monster smash hit.
Will Monster High Dolls appeal to you?
Let’s see, there’s nothing on the market like them. They’re unique and different and will appeal to not only kids but adults who love collecting dolls. Horror fans are going to love these dolls. They are also drop dead gorgeous as well as freaky so those who love fashion are gonna love em. In fact Monster High dolls will appeal to everyone.
