The human torso was fiddly to assemble but just right for the dolls house.

The Build-a-Monster vampire boy looks better without his wig.

The Build-a-Monster add-on packs are frustrating because you only get part of the doll - no torso, upper arms or thighs. And that’s before you cannibalise the outfit & wig for other dolls. But I did my best, and this isn’t a bad match. What I’m going to do with all the spare heads I do not know.

Death enthroned! Well, Skelita (wave 2).

And here we have Nukes without her wig.

We’ve all been to parties like this, haven’t we? Done up to the nines, don’t know anyone, everyone else is all relaxed. Quick, make for the kitchen & hang around near the punch bowl!

The Inner Monster doll has a lot of potential. She has three different pairs of eyes (click her brain to change them), three clip-on masks, two wigs and various other oddments, including these garish wings. Basically, this is Mattel zhuzhing up their ill-fated What’s Her Face dolls (fourth wave) And why not?

Can you see the resemblance?

On May 9th 2014 I posted a portrait of a green-skinned, purple-haired Monster High doll that I bought in a charity shop, naked & with her legs on all wrong. I could never work out which doll she was. Everyone said she was a Create A Monster, but I insisted: NO, her hair is real, not a wig. A few weeks ago I was filled with a wild surmise & gently lifted her fringe… Her purple hair was, indeed, a wig! So here she is with a completely new character. (Her name is Nukes, by the way. After Anna “Nuclear” Wintour, because of that perfect bob-cut.)

Those Xmas cards need to be written & posted about now.

Mattel thinks this is a spider doll but Mattel is outvoted. Everyone I show her to thinks she’s the Hindu goddess Kali Maa.
