Monster High, how I've missed you.

Yesterday was, I think (?), the official launch of the new reboot of the Monster High doll line. I have had terrible luck with the MH line in its weird in-between state. I think my one and only stroke of luck was snagging the Beetlejuice duo and every other time I've failed. Some losses didn't bother me that much and some I'm still very much bitter about (Dracula. DRACULA) so imagine my utter lack of surprise when everything I checked yesterday didn't work. To be fair, I didn't venture out into the stores but that's because I don't go to the store on a good day on Saturday if I can avoid it and I sure as fuck don't go the day after a hurricane.

But even my online attempts were met with failure.

Until tonight when I read Lori's post about snagging some online and I found Lagoona on Amazon. I debated very seriously but then found her on Target along with Ghoulia and I figured I might as well go ahead and go bigger. So I ultimately wound up with Ghoulia, Lagoona, Cleo, and Clawdeen. If they'd all been available and not retailer exclusives, I probably would've swapped out Clawdeen for Toralei but exclusives gotta exclusive, I guess.


I've been keeping to myself for the most part on this reboot and not seeking out a lot of information, probably because the initial backlash was enough to make me not want to deal with reading commentary about it in general. Still, since I did love MH a lot and this is pretty big doll news in my world, let's look at the various offerings and ramble. I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as say, Lori, but few are.


Onward!
