Symphanee probably had that painted on widow's peak to hide her hairplugs, but I also feel like the MH designers could have given her any other hairstyles if that was the case. Like give her bangs and give the widow's peak to literally any of the other characters that don't have a translucent head?
Slightly off topic but it’s so fun to me that we have suuuuper similar aesthetic choices in the way we dress (I also have dark hair and an undercut with the exact same length as you on the other side, I had the same glasses as you for a while, also have wanted to stretch my ears for like a decade, love a good dark lip, and I’ve seen multiple outfits from you I wanna steal LOL) but you’re not a fan of g1 Frankie and are ride or die for Cleo while Frankie has always been my number 1 and I’m not a huge fan of Cleo! Just love seeing how doll aesthetics truly can speak to different people even with similar personal aesthetics. 😊 With that being said though this list is on point (especially agree with your thoughts on the reel drama line), no notes lol!
Oh wow. Definetly some hot takes here. I am shocked to see the Nefera and Cleo 2-pack here and both of them on this list! I absolutely adore them both. Whilst yes, you can tell they didn't get as bigger budget as some of the alumni dolls did, I still think both of them look absolutely incredible and really love both their outfits. I do have to absolutely agree about Cleo and Deuce 2-pack being here though. Which is such a shame because I love Cleo but what on earth where they thinking? 🤨Cleo would NEVER wear a dress like that! My favourite part about her is the wrap sleeve, snake 'corset' and shoes. Deuce did have potential because the patterns aren't bad but you can tell it's a cheap material just by looking at it. 😔
hearing you call Deuce's shoes "fuckass loafers" took me OUT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're so right tho 🫣😂😂🤣 zero notes on this ranking, you're valid and i have a lot of the same complaints!! especially about the Cleo doll in the valentine's day two pack, it's a travesty
About the multiple B&W Frankie SDCC dolls and Deafast Ghoulia pts 1 & 2 - I completely agree that the trend of redoing doll ideas is boring. I was so sad when the news of DF Ghoulia came out because I’m not a huge Ghoulia fan and it’s literally an existing design in a different font to me. In my opinion SDCC should be reserved for new unique ideas. We got Manny & Iris, Hoodude & Scarah, Valentine & Whisp, omg and Wydowna, I could go on. It used to be the harbinger of new side character dolls when I was a kid. I remember seeing pics of Scarahs SDCC doll when I was a kid and I was elated to then get her I Heart Fashion doll. I wish Mattel would use SDCC to either keep adding to old lines (like FDC Drac) or give us dolls we never got (Gory, Andy, the shadow ghouls from 13 Wishes). I’m excited and nervous to see what SDCC 2025 brings
I have a strong feeling that the Howliday 2pack Cleo is going to be here because that doll was so bad 😂 The print and the lack of detail were giving g2 labeled as collector...
I didn’t realize some people don’t like to widows’ peaks (since I have one, I like it when I see dolls with them 😊) but yeah I totally agree with you about poor Symphanee who is otherwise a spectacular doll! Ooooo hot take on number 6! She’s the one that Amazon canceled on me and I’ve been sad that happened so it’s nice hearing your critique on her, it makes me less sad so thank you 😄 For some reason MH just can’t make a good G1 two pack. Okay I was wondering why you didn’t talk about Cleo at first. 🤪
I’d have to say that my worst doll pick is Fang vote Rochelle. I wanted her so badly and voted for her various accessories etc. I was really sad when I saw she wasn’t pastel and had the dress so badly made. I’m glad I didn’t go ahead and get her. When I saw how she had fish face and everything else wasn’t what I wanted, it was so sad 😢. I don’t agree on Reel Drama Draculaura and the Comic con Frankie, but that’s totally cool 💗😊
reaaalll. i never understand the reel drama love 😭 i really dont think theyre great. and i do love bw with a pop of color in general, but idk. theyre not for me, youre not alone 😭
I think symphony paint is not meant to be hair. In fact i think is the front suture of the skull. Like seen her with ray-x. I think she is súper unique and on my top 5 monster high dolls.
My entire thought process going into this was g1 frankie so my predictions were both of there Haunt Couture dolls, the voltagous doll and her Reel Drama doll as you seemed to dislike shadow high (especially to nichole and shanelle) you my predictions were just g1 frankie and that really hideous Howliday cleo
I know that everyone dislikes the Howliday Clawdeen and Cleo dolls, but I really like them both. Clawdeen may appear to be simple, but to me, that is what makes her stand out. Cleo, in her golden dress, is absolutely gorgeous. There's so much detailing in her dresses. I really disliked Draculaura's Howliday doll the most out of that line because she's kind of tacky. I just got my Cleo and Nefera two pack, and I think that they are both stunning. I am partial to Cleo because I just really think that her dolls are beautiful. I'm not a Draculaura fan mainly because everyone else is, I guess. But to each his or her own. Whether I agree or not, I really enjoy these types of videos.
Just looking at the list, they aren’t horrible. I mean, I actually bought the Nefera and Cleo 2-pack, and I would take any of the others if I got them for free. I’m not saying your complaints aren’t valid; I’m just saying they have overall done a good job, which is nice to see.
My least favorite has to be Fang Club Operetta. She's worn outfits similar to what they put her in before and that face mold is straight up NOT her face which ticks me off to no end. But that might just be me being bias since I'm a music girl so I have a bigger soft spot for Operetta than Cleo. That Howliday dress is hideous though. It be fine as a purse but NOT a whole ass dress.
I personally love Reel Drama. I had paid way too much for the Reel Drama Draculaura and Frankie on eBay, but I am glad to have them. I agree with you about your top picks and the painted widow's peak.
Thank God that I am not the only one who doesn't like that black and white Draculaura! I love everyone else from this line but for some reason it is just not working on her and also her face is kinda weird in my opinion
I was about to say how are you talking abt deuce and not mentioning cleo /lh as an Egyptian tho I’ve always loved cleo do I love every iteration they do of her? No, I think a lot of the Egyptian themes are overdone especially with using Anubis when there are so many other gods to pull from LIKE HATHOR!! Was so disappointed they did not take from her and made her so g2 core with these ugly printed fabrics solid plastic single colored pieces and complete lack of inspiration and detail. 😞
I agree that Howliday Clawdeen is a good doll, def not worth her original price. I do love her hair and makeup a lot tho, and her dress is simple yet elegant at least.
they should do a collector River Styx with the skull like how she was supposed to be
already predicting at least one “I’m just not a fan of g1 Frankie and you guys may already know”
You know me too well
😆 or Ghoulia, don't forget zombies LOL
@@sharonthompson672poor Ghoulia, love her G1 character

4:10 I think the reason for the painted on widows peak is so that you can't see the rooting through the transparent head.
I love them all. I'm so far down the MH rabbit hole.....😆
I've seen some amazing customizers make wigs, I feel like they could've made a tiny wig for that area, like a toupee for her widows peak lol 👴😂

That’s hilarious!! Definitely a disconnect sometimes between how I want myself to look and how I want my dolls to look haha
Your ranking is your ranking. Personally, I love the Deuce and Operetta, but that's me.
Oh wow. Definetly some hot takes here. I am shocked to see the Nefera and Cleo 2-pack here and both of them on this list! I absolutely adore them both.

That Cleo doll is AWFUL! I agree 100%!

Hi Rainn sorry I missed your live. It was my mom 66 birthday and I took her to go see the Musical Mamma Mia. BTW it was so much fun to watch!!!
No need to apologize! Glad you got to have fun with your mum ☺️
@@FaeryTaleDolls 🥰
reaaalll. i never understand the reel drama love 😭 i really dont think theyre great. and i do love bw with a pop of color in general, but idk. theyre not for me, youre not alone 😭
11:25 the doll's colors look way better in person, I wouldn't call anything on her hot pink irl.
For me i would have put every off white doll.
I think symphony paint is not meant to be hair. In fact i think is the front suture of the skull. Like seen her with ray-x. I think she is súper unique and on my top 5 monster high dolls.

I love Voltageous Frankie! Oh well, you disliking her might help keep the price down xD

In my opinion for the Two pack Cleo and Nefra their makeup for them looks like it’s from the Freak du Chic line
Okay but I would looooove to see them get FDC designs proper
That would be amazing, FDC got me hooked on MH
I agree that Howliday Clawdeen is a good doll, def not worth her original price. I do love her hair and makeup a lot tho, and her dress is simple yet elegant at least.
