This is such an unusual history for a doll character.

Sitting on Cloud Nine: Monster High G3 Signature Jinafire Long by Mattel

I haven't reviewed every G3 character debut doll, but I've gotten really close. I never went in for the three werecats who play as the Hissfits. I can see myself tracking down an old signature G3 Toralei to cut her hair, though the twins loose for a deal would be trickier. They're another matter--today, we're reducing four debut dolls unchecked to just three by looking at Jinafire. It's a bit of a surprise to myself because the character never did much for me before and I wasn't sure about her G3 doll either.

Give Her Her Flowers: Monster High G3 Signature Venus McFlytrap by Mattel

I've never seen such consistent praise and excitement for a G3 doll Monster High doll design before...and I cannot remotely dissent. She was a must-have the second I saw her first photos. Usually, character redesigns are contentious, but I've seen so much love for this one and I completely agree.

 I've never been the hugest fan of Draculaura, but it's through no fault of her own. In fact, I respect a lot of what she's been.
