impyLet's talk Toy Fair, shall we? I am hoping that someone will make a big, master post of things that might interest me, but... alas, the universe fails to do all my work for me. So rude!
We begin with MH.
Freaky Fusion:
If you have time, find a picture of the back of any box and scroll to the bottom to see the little "Save Frankie!" graphic. So cute!
Ahem. Moving along.
Neighthan Rot, a zombie unicorn. I do not particularly care for Mister Rot. I suspect this is because I loathe the shades of the colors used in his outfit (I shouldn't be thinking of preschoolers when looking at someone rotting away, ok?) but face scupt wise he's awesome. I just don't see him following me home.
Clawvenus, a mash-up of Venus and Clawdeen and the most lazily named thing in the MH verse. It's on par with the EAH line, actually. Fabulous eye infection you've got there, ma'am. Especially when you read the mock of Neighthan's box that uses Clawvenus' bio and you learn she's allergic to herself now. :P It's a shame because her lashes are to die for!
Cleolei, mash-up of Cleo and Toralei. Weird lighting be damned, I'm gonna need two of you, missy. She's my favorite.
Dracubecca, mash-up of Draculaura and Robecca. I think she's really pretty but a lot of people were initially "meh" and suddenly half of them are jumping on board. Whatever, man, she's lovely and adorable.
Lagoonafire's name is awesome, though I'd never think to mash-up Lagoona and Jinafire. I don't really like the neon-y colors thrown together, but there's something oddly sweet about her. She creeps other people out though. More for me!
Styling head, I think. Worth looking into later, I think.
Wasn't this one of the first pictures released? Ah well. Let's see. No thank you, to Neighthan, and I'm unsure on the Witch. Aloha, Billy! Iris is cute and Manny will be joining Heath and Clawd for hilarious hijinks that Abbey will be around to ice before fires spread.
NONA. GIMME. I'll just repaint the lips on another one and I can die happy, do not make this an exclusive or I will start sending severed Barbie heads to Mattel.
I really like the Zombie Dance Werekitties, and this CaM monster is so cute!
Hey, Catty. Still being fab?
Ghoul Spirit Toralei looks like she's flying through the air. Love it.
I'm not sure I understand this zombie dance thing, though. This picture makes Rochelle and Venus look really threatening. Also, why is Venus everywhere? Is it just the books or... did I miss something?
Coffin Bean Robecca is looking a little busy...
Creepateria will have a Draculaura, too (see the art?) but why is Howleen's hair pink again? Trust me, we've got pink covered in this line.
Coffin Bean Twyla looks a little off (a lot off?) but Venus is so perfect it hurts!
Ever After High
We'll apparently be getting Dexter and Lizzie (I need pics) but let's move on to ...
Cedar. Who I will be buying because I find her adorable. :D
Thronecoming brings us a mixed bag. There's a lot of frou-frou going on and it's going to depend on the scratchiness of the fabric on whether two of these will follow me home.
Apple is one of them. She's looking awfully similar to other Apples, though I only own the first release so maybe she'll be my fancier version. *muse*
I kinda want a mash-up of TC Raven and LD Raven. That'd be fun. (She's the other one whose outfit will determine whether she comes home.)
Blondie gets an invite because of the hair alone (no, really, I'm serious).
Favorite, hands down. No questions asked, I need this doll. NOW. (Thronecoming Cupid.)
MLP:
Lookit Fluttershy, AJ, and the one Rarity to rule them all! Eee!
The MLP coverage is all over the map and I'm going to wait for one of the comms to break it down for me because my eyes just glaze over when I attempt to take it all in. There's one brushable I really want, though.
