Love Bites: Monster High Howliday Love Draculaura and Clawd Wolf by Mattel Creations

Love it, hate it, or don't care, it is indeed Valentine month! While the holiday doesn't give me much personal substance, I enjoy the aesthetic quite a bit, particularly a more vintage, subversive or dark take on the iconography. So let's get in-theme with the first of a couple of posts I have planned! I don't know if this particular doll set has been super buzzy or well-received, but I was struck the second I saw it.

In the Red Thorns: A G3 Monster High Body Model

I decided not to give up on my plans to make a body-model out of Ghoulia after all. Besides, the entry into G3 original characters was an exciting idea. 

Quite a Pack: A G3 Clawdeen Roundup

This project was supposed to be finished so much earlier!!!

Cheating the Collection, As Ever: LEGO Minifigures Series 25

 For a toy that's driven so much of my life, you'd think I'd have given LEGO its own post sooner!

Revenge of the Yass Gremlins, Part 3 (Finale): L.ots O.f L.oose Ends

Just a few more to look at--curiosity pieces and clothes donors I needed to have. 

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.

Revenge of the Yass Gremlins, Part 2: L.O.L. Retro

There was yet more L.O.L. to tempt me--I blame the unhallowed mires of Walmart.
