I'm a big G1 Ghoulia fan so I really appreciate that you can enjoy a Ghoulia doll design despite not being a big zombie girlie. I'm a bit funny about zombies as I enjoy books, dolls etc, about them but have to avoid most zombie movies (the exception being Shaun of the Dead).
I was lucky enough to get Midnight Runway Cleo for 56 dollars on a sale Mattel ran earlier this year. Her face is so BEAUTIFUL!!! The long brown hair to her knees, the mask and the golden mesh cape. Absolutely Stunning!!!
Omg finally someone who loves HC W1 Cleo,her face is so unique and pretty and all her accesories are so shimmery,with enough painted details and her jacket is really cool with the whole outfit ❤(although she is basically a glitter bomb)
Sometimes it's really fascinating how different feelings can be from person to person! I couldn't feel more opposite to you on Jinafire, it's the one alumni design I'm actively repulsed by - though I get that I'm a minority in that! Others I'm indifferent towards, but you actually couldn't even pay me money to own the Jinafire. I'm a latecomer to collecting G1, wish I'd been collecting when the HC dolls came out because for me those are pretty perfect. They'd pretty much all take top spots for me.
I was wondering where you’d place Cleo and Spectra 😄 And I was so confused when you put Vampire Heart Draculaura in second but when you said your first choice isn’t out yet, I knew who it was 😊 She’s has different designer than Rochelle so I think she will look more like her images 😊
Vampire Heart Draculaura is definitely the most impressive and worth having alumni doll they've ever released.I also LOVE the HC dolls.Especially Draculaura.The Midnight Runway isn't my favourite especially with all the quality control issues. And the Off White dolls are not worth anything over 40-50$ max. It looks like you're paying more for the branding rather than what you're actually getting.
We started off on the same page then you put the off-white dolls xD (Don't get me wrong there faces are gorgeous and I love the fact we have a gargoyle with MASSIVE wings but the outfits and price tag? No thanks!) 10. Fang Vote Jinafire - I want to put her higher but there's ALOT going on. I love Jinafire and I love that we FINALLY got a collector doll of her. I voted and loved all the options so am very happy with how she turned out BUT like I said there's alot going on and I kinda wish she didn't have the tulle skirt which is not something we got to vote on. 9. Fang Vote Rochele - I love Rochelle and I love pink and blue so I may be biast but I voted and I got every option I voted for! I think she's gorgeous. I love her silhouette and the architecture dress but it just feels like there's a little something still missing? 8. Haunt Couture Cleo - Cleo is queen. Cleo is GORGEOUS. I absolutely LOVE her outfit and the callback to her OG G1 doll. The only thing stopping her going higher is her eyes. Her eyes bug me unforunetly but otherwise she's an absolutely stunning doll! 7. Vampire Heart Draculaura - I feel like alot of people love this doll and rightly so! I really love her face and her headpiece and the beautiful dress. The only reason she's not higher for me is because whilst there's nothing I dislike, I do wish she had some more pink on her. I feel she just NEEDS a bit more colour. 6. Ghoulexe Ghoulia - NOW THIS is how you do a Ghoulia! I absolutely love everything about this doll although my favourite Ghoulia is still her original Deadfast doll. This is the perfect use of black leather, red and white. We have her iconic brain pattern, blood red lip, amazing boots, amazing head piece. She is just fangtastic! 5. Stitched in Style Frankie - She definetly reminds me of her Scarily ever after Threaderella doll but she's SO much better. I absolutely love this hair on her. Always love Frankie with the chunky black stripes/ more split tone hair. I LOVE her face, her make-up, the gorgeoues bustier top and the amazing skirt. There is literally NOTHING I dislike about this one. She's perfect! 4. Midnight Runway Spectra - Spectra did NOT come to play! She got her first debut collector doll with a bang! Her face is stunning, her hair is stunning, her dress is stunning. I absolutely love how wispy it is and ofcourse her signature chains. Everything is done so so well. Love her. 3. Howliday Draculaura - Many seem to prefer Vampire Heart Drac, but not me. I absolutely LOVE this Drac. It's the perfect balance of her pastel pink and black. I really really LOVE her hair and her dress and the silhouette. She really set the bar high. Only thing I don't super love is her boots, but the rest of her is so so good. I can overlook them. 2. Midnight Runway Cleo - Wow. Wow. Wow. Now THIS is how you do a Cleo. Her outfit is absolutely amazing. I love the golden wrap pattern throughout. The cape is amazing, the shoes are amazing, the mask is amazing and her face is AMAZING. Only minor thing I don't like is that her GORGEOUS mask covers her GORGEOUS face so mask on or off? 1. Haunt Couture Draclaura - And my number 1 still goes to HC Drac! I just absolutely adore her. Her outfit is absolutely gorgeous. I love her little beret, I love her dress with the cape, I love the spiderwebs to break the pink up and I love her boots. Everything is perfect!
So my reasons for enjoying G1 Frankie, and not being as big a fan of G3 Frankie are a little strange and I feel the need to tell someone so the common section is going to know. I love G1 Frankie because she is the child of Frankenstein‘s monster. Frankenstein‘s monster is possibly my favorite creation of classic horror, and I have always wanted him to have, a good life. Like some people feel that way about the Phantom of the opera, I feel that way about Frankenstein‘s monster. And so the fact that in thief three Frankie is, I believe the child of scientists I’m not Frankenstein’s monster makes me very sad. I’m a huge English major and have literally written essays about Frankenstein’s monster and so they kept them as his child. It would’ve been fine lol 5:34
I love your list and agree with almost all your comments and your observations are spot on. I too am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Jinafire. 🥰 I do also love Rochelle, the whole French Goth vibe is just exquisite. 🥰 I really enjoyed the video, it just renewed my enthusiasm for my own precious beauties! Thanks sincerely 🙂🖐️
i was so shocked that VH Draculaura wasn't your #1 until i remembered that Fang Vote Jinafire exists and as soon as I saw her I said "oh yeah that's fair" LMFAOOOOO i hope she looks as good as her concept design because she is by far the best Mattel has EVER made
I've been meaning to ask this for a while, and this seems to be the perfect place to do it! Is a big part of the reason why you don't like G1 Frankie because you like Hoo Dude so much?
Oddly enough no haha, I just…don’t like her 😂 I feel like she’s very inconsistent (though tbf everyone is in gen one almost). I get she’s new to being alive but she’s not like a 2 week old baby, she still has the intelligence and rationale of a teenager, so the way she defaults to lying when she first gets to MH rubs me the wrong way. Mostly I dislike how almost every good idea in the show/movies has to come from her. Being sympathetic or understanding or kind is always suggested by Frankie which isn’t bad in and of itself, but it makes everyone else around her look like assholes. It bothers me that the “innocent new girl who’s just so uwu young” isn’t seen to be at fault when she fucks up or lies, but suddenly she’s soooooo smart and the only possible person who can come up with a solution when problems arise Basically, I’ll just say it: Frankie’s a Mary Sue in g1 and I’ll die on that hill. She’s perfect and sweet and her mistakes are seen as a little blip and her flaw is she’s clumsy…the go to Mary Sue flaw. Sorry I got ranty 😅
AH every time i see fang vote jinafire it makes me so upset that i can’t have her in my hands NOWWWW 😭 im so excited for her to ship. i also agree about the off white dolls, i have symphonee midnight and i ADORE her, but sometimes i do look at her and feel bad about how much i spent. i paid for her in installments, so it wasn’t that bad, especially since im not buying a ton of dolls atm, but i wish she was even $50 cheaper.
For me, the number one is Vampire Heart Draculaura. She’s the most amazing beautiful doll. As to Jinafire, we are totally opposite. I was deeply disappointed that she got nothing I voted on. So I didn’t purchase her 😭. I did not get Rochelle either, for the same reason. I was expecting her hair, and other things to be pale pink, and she looked nothing like her artwork. I did get a few things I voted on, but not the right colors. Oh well, hopefully if they ever do fang votes again, I’ll get a doll made like I want.
I'm a big G1 Ghoulia fan so I really appreciate that you can enjoy a Ghoulia doll design despite not being a big zombie girlie. I'm a bit funny about zombies as I enjoy books, dolls etc, about them but have to avoid most zombie movies (the exception being Shaun of the Dead).

3:29 I have the human sized cape from hot topic and I love it so much! She is like the Holy grail of dolls for me
Omg finally someone who loves HC W1 Cleo,her face is so unique and pretty and all her accesories are so shimmery,with enough painted details and her jacket is really cool with the whole outfit ❤(although she is basically a glitter bomb)
Wow! I actually agree 100% with every one of your opinions on this list. Even the order. First time for everything! Great job! Thank you!!!
Dang doesn’t happen often haha that’s pretty wild
Sometimes it's really fascinating how different feelings can be from person to person!

I love the first OffWhite doll you put here! She's giving clown, and I do mean that in the most positive way imaginable.
Oh absolutely it’s such a vibe
That Jinafire 😍😍😍
I was wondering where you’d place Cleo and Spectra 😄 And I was so confused when you put Vampire Heart Draculaura in second but when you said your first choice isn’t out yet, I knew who it was 😊 She’s has different designer than Rochelle so I think she will look more like her images 😊

I got the Stitched in Style Frankie signed by Kate Higgins so I'm biased for her lol. But Fang Vote Jinafire is beautiful
That’s so cool!

I’ll never forgive Mattel if they mess her final doll up

December truly can’t come fast enough!
I want off white monster high Harmonie doll but she is so expensive💀🎀💖
Same
For me, the number one is Vampire Heart Draculaura. She’s the most amazing beautiful doll. As to Jinafire, we are totally opposite. I was deeply disappointed that she got nothing I voted on.
