Anniversary Reunion, Part 3: Lighting Up the Deep with Kala

 Lastly, my third inaugural doll returns!

Mechanical Marvels: Monster High's Robots!

I've always loved robots.

Two in a Million: Monster High Peri and Pearl Serpentine by Mattel

 Monster High has pushed the envelope for a while with several dolls that go further-out than the rest to really try something unusual and unprecedented within the doll space. 

Picking Bones, Part 1: Skelita's Debut, and Difficult Concerns

This post might be a bit grim. I'm bringing in a character I find very tricky to talk about, but I find it fascinating how complicated she is. She has a lot of good and bad that's worth discussing, but it gets dark on the bad side.

No Longer Floundering: Three Generations of Nautical Monster Makeovers!

 This was going to be a post discussing just one doll, but I realized I had three sea characters, and each from one of MH's three generations, that were on my project list at the same time...so I figured I'd make it a post about all three, particularly since two of them wouldn't warrant posts of their own. 

A Third Try in the Three Rings: Monster High Gooliope Jellington by Mattel

I think my experience with this doll would best be compared to Avea Trotter--a doll whose concept and novelty I couldn't stay away from, but whose actual execution didn't click. With Avea, I squashed my issues after working with her as a first-time member of my collection this year. With this doll...it's my third time owning her.

Sweet Nightmares: A Trio of Twylas!

I think every Monster High fan and collector finds their special favorite character to latch onto. And this is mine.
