My grail monster high dolls that I can't afford

Starting with #1 

We've got the 2015 SDCC Exclusive Valentine and Whisp two pack, yes I know Valentine just got a new doll in his two pack with Spelldon for pride month but I kinda hate the design...it's based on the boomuda triangle comic series that also recently came out and I hate the outfit he was wearing.

You can skip this parragraph if you'd like. In the boomuda triangle design, the shade of red is too bright, his hair is too short and his trousers are just ugly they could've at least made them bootcut instead of just skinny or put boots over it like in his SDCC design. Also I just hate his top in general they should've stuck with his SDCC design and not the boomuda triangle design. Even his character art on the back of the box is bad, like his shoes are ok I guess but I wish they could've kept the heart decals like his SDCC since he is the creator of Valentine's day or if they were boots instead it would've been better and he has a random mole for some reason like where did that come from, its not even on his doll or in the comics so why is it on the character art ?? Spelldon is cool though, wish he was in a different pose on the character art but overall he was really good for his first doll release. It would've been nice to see a height difference between Spelldon and Valentine on the dolls since in all the comics Spelldon is noticeably taller than Valentine. The character art on the SDCC two pack is so beautiful. 

I love Valentine's long hair and Whisp's genie tail that you can also switch out for her legs if you want to, I think it's so cool of them to add that. In my opinion, I think the SDCC Kieran Valentine is WAY cooler than his newer doll, he is literally perfect in every way and so is Whisp. Whisp only had one other doll than the SDCC one and it was from the I heart fashion line. She is so pretty she should've got way more dolls, like Gigi is in a bunch of lines there was an easy opportunity for a two pack, like Meowledy and Pursephony.

- bit of a side track but, I'm pretty sure Mattel is running out of doll clothes designs since they just used the I heart fashion Whisp's top half of the dress for G3 Skelita and the top half of G1 Elissabat's dress for the new Collector Draculaura doll coming out around Halloween -

They are both literal perfection. Not kidding but I gaze yearningly at pictures of them on eBay.


Sorry for the rant, but onto #2

Dead Tired Lagoona Blue's Hydration Station, this one is so hard to get where it's not crazy overpriced and still lights up with the bubbles but I still love her so much. This was such an innovative product with Mattel they were really putting the effort into playsets back then. I wish they would make creeproductions of this entire line. 

#3 

2015 SDCC Iris Clops and Manny Taur two pack, this one would've been cuter if it was just Iris I don't like Manny AT ALL he gets on my nerves and his doll is just straight up ugly. Iris is so cute and Manny is just there, I know they're a couple and all but still. I know Iris had an I heart fashion doll like Whisp but she is heavily overpriced by resellers.


#4

Now other collectors would flame me for this but, The main 6 Gold Elastics. Everyone says that it means literally nothing and its just the elastics they had at the beginning of production but I love the spaced out screening they have. I was lucky enough to get a black elastics original Draculaura 2012 [not budget] with a kinda spaced out screening but its not like the gold elastics.


#5

Prototype C.A Cupid, this one is literally impossible but I heard another collector was able to get her. Again, would've been higher but I don't want to get too fixated on her because, like I said, she is literally unattainable. This one could genuinely be lower at like maybe #7 or something I'm just not that attached to her like any of the other dolls I love but I do love her screening and that her bone wings aren't rusty.


#6

Frightfully Tall Collection but particularly Elissabat, the screening for Draculaura is a little G2 and her waistcoat is a blinding pink but I can live with it.


Ok I'll have to make a pt.2 because I have a lot more dolls on my list and this blog would go on forever if I keep rambling on. You can tell me your grails in the comments if you like !!

Signing off, Ilinca
