Monster High Skullector
Monster High fan? Horror movie fan? If so, these dolls are made of your dreams…err, nightmares! Collector dolls were released (and generally seem to sell out in minutes), featuring It, the Grady twins from The Shining, Beetlejuice and Lydia, and Greta from Gremlins. Whether you like Monster High or not, you have to admit these are pretty fun dolls.

Monster High Creeproduction
Four of the original Monster High dolls, the ones that started it all, will be released as the first wave of reproductions of the orignals. Those four are Draculaura, Lagoona Blue, Clawdeen Wolf and Frankie Stein. By the sounds of it, the other core originals should follow at a later date. The fun part of these dolls release, was that they were released and set to hit shelves on Friday, the 13th. However, that’s exclusively in Walmart stores in the US. It sounds like it will likely continue to be a Walmart exclusive, but unfortunately for those of us in Canada, from what information was released…we’ll have to wait until later this year before we see these dolls back on the shelves.

Monster High Haunt Couture
That’s right, Monster High is back…sort of. A special collectors set was being released, which feature haunt couture fashions, and come in coffin shaped boxes. They’re a little more pricey than the regular Monsters, and are available online, but sell fast. Was anyone able to get their hands on any? I have to say, their faces are extra cute on these dolls.

-
Barbie Extra Minis
Know and love the Barbie Extra dolls? Well, be prepared to love these little pint size versions, too…Barbie Extra Minis! They’re cute and tiny, a little bigger than a Chelsea doll, I believe. But they have the same over the top kind of fashions as the original Barbie Extra dolls.
