An Electric Concert Atmosphere: Monster High Monster Fest Frankie Stein by Mattel

 This is kind of a shorter topic this time. I just really liked the doll!

Living Dead Dolls Workshop Roundup

Here's my current policy--if a Living Dead Doll is loose and incomplete, its chances of being completed again are next to nil because loose parts for LDD are so rare on the aftermarket...so loose dolls missing things are fair game for customizing. I had a pressing need to take advantage of that policy, and I went on quite a journey with some other fun projects as a result!

This will be the LDD Roundup for July, because the next trio of dolls I want to round up will require location-specific photos taken on vacation in early August for full project completion. Quack and a standalone doll will feature this month and this is a roundup, but I'm not listing this in the series of canonical doll roundups.

Altogether the VERY Ookiest: The Monster High Skullector "Addams Family" Set By Mattel Creations

I was torn deeply about the Skullector Creature from the Black Lagoon, but I basically forgot all about her once these were revealed. There wasn't a question in my mind: I needed these and I would get them. I haven't found a Skullector release so good or so relevant to my interests since the Bride of Frankenstein dolls.  I immediately shuffled out a space for them in my budget. If I couldn't get these at early-access or standard launch, I didn't even care about going aftermarket. There was just no missing these for me.

Gruesome Living Dead Dolls Roundup (Roundup #4)

Recently, I've been finding myself a bit more willing to bite on LDD entries which I'd previously written off for being too grotesque or gory or shocking. This is generally a bad thing for my already-long wishlist, but I'm more open to explore some more extreme or gross dolls if I think the design has some overall appeal in spite of (or possibly even because of) the nasty parts. There are still some dolls which I put a "no" on for being objectionable to me personally, but the presence of icky stuff is less of a deterrent now. Of course, though, I keep warnings for this stuff, and if gory LDD content can stand alone, then the whole post gets warned. That's what's happening here--a roundup of three dolls that are more hardcore than what I focus on normally. Proceed with caution.

Obvious warnings for bloody and gory imagery.

 Back to Monster High! 

Burned at Teatime, But Not How You'd Think: Living Dead Dolls Series 23 Jennocide by Mezco Toyz

Yes, that is her name. Yes, I heavily disagree with the choice. Just making that clear. I'm being a descriptivist and honoring the character's official name but I find it poorly-chosen for its inappropriate glibness and its irrelevance to her concept.

Warning for surreal doll gore.

Blind-Bagged: Living Dead Dolls Series 8 Angus Litilrott by Mezco Toyz

 This was an interesting experiment, because this guy is something of a mystery surprise doll!

Warning for scary imagery and brief photos of gory doll imagery.
