Monster High Toys

Monster High toys were designed specifically for the teenage and tween children, to coincide with the Monster High TV series. This is a toy line that keeps growing in popularity all the time. Even adults have a particular interest with Monster High dolls as a collector’s item. A cross between dainty Barbie dolls and legendary monsters, Monster High toys are quite unique!

The History

The Monster High toys began with the creation of a fashion doll in America. Each doll was designed to resemble popular monsters. In 2007, Mattel, the largest toy maker in America, had designers preparing prototypes and preparing for its release. From the start, Mattel decided to launch this new toy by a franchise that it would fully own. The Monster High collection was placed in the market as a franchise in July of 2010. Its official launch date to the public was on August 13, 2010.

The Toys

Monster High dolls are the offspring or relatives of some of the most legendary monsters and unknown zombies. The dolls are fashionable. The female dolls have bright makeup to match their outfits and hair, and even the male dolls have their own style of ghoulish makeup.

The dolls are designed after famous monsters, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Phantom of the Opera. Each of the dolls has its very own head mold, skin tone to match the monster being represented, and forearms and hands that can easily be removed.

Additional Monster High toys include accessories for the dolls, games, and play sets. There is a Monster High school house with lockers that really work, classrooms with chalkboards, and a “casketball court” with bleachers for the other dolls to sit and watch a game or hang out. Other toys include living areas for specific dolls, starter kits to create your own doll, fashion sketch portfolios, cars, and café play sets.

The Benefits

Monster High dolls were designed with the intention of being unique. The slogan for the creation of the Monster High doll is, “Be yourself, be unique, be a monster.” The message to children is letting each child know that accepting themselves and others for who they are will create a better environment to grow up in.

The dolls are a symbol to children that it is okay to express individuality, be confident, and accept the differences of others. Each doll comes with a paper detailing the doll’s history and a flaw that the doll has, but is proud and accepting of it to reinforce the dolls role.

Is it Worth Buying?

The Headless Headmistress Bloodgood Doll is a perfect replication of the animated character that many young children enjoy watching. This particular doll is much taller than the other Monster High dolls, making it a comfortable fit when riding the Nightmare Horse. This doll also has a special talent of being able to remove her head. The quality of the doll makes it easy for the head to be replaced, which will not fall off during play due to the strong construction.

A long purple signature coat adorns the Monster High doll, decorated with two gold color buttons on the front. It is accented with fuchsia pink ribbon that laces the forearms and the bust area. Under the cape is a white ruffle collar that goes entirely around the doll’s neck. The face looks older than other Monster High characters, but that’s because the headmistress is older than the students!

Headless Headmistress Bloodgood’s horse is blue in color with a darker blue mane with a purple streak. The horse is shaped to allow the Monster High doll to sit perfectly on her horse with her long, black riding boots to keep up with the style these dolls are known for. Some buyers have commented that the horse is not as high quality as the doll, or other products in the Monster High range.

This doll does have some mixed reviews, but overall kids and collectors of the doll series have found that it’s another good set to add to what they’ve already got. It can be a little expensive and difficult to get hold of, but this is true of all toys in the Monster High series. Any Monster High fan will be happy to add this set to her collection.
