Monster High Vinyl Pets

Mattel's Monster High franchise has released another set of vinyl figures only instead of the students of Monster High these figures are of their pets. The four currently available pets, Watzit, Crescent, Count Fabulous and Sir Hoots A Lot are packaged in smaller versions of the main character's boxes. Each box has their character's signature color trimming the box and they retail for half the cost of the character vinyls. 

Crescent seems to be short packed in the case or at least at my local store. 

Have you seen the pet vinyls yet? Which one is your favorite?

Monster High Vinyl Deuce

Mattel recently released the newest wave of its Monster High Vinyl figures. This new wave included Rochelle, Venus, Abbey and Deuce. While doing some last minute holiday shopping with my favorite sibling we happened upon a few of these (and several of the vinyl pets, but we will save that for another post). I picked up a Deuce and then noticed another box trimmed in green, another Deuce. Of course I had to look at both to see which one I liked the best, and I noticed that each one had different sunglasses on. One has red sunglasses with clear "lens" while the other had more tinted "lens". 

Have you seen both versions of Deuce yet?

First I would like to say to all of those who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful day. 

The Friday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, marks the official start of the holiday shopping season. Most stores offer big discounts on toys and electronics starting on Friday, and the sales usually run all weekend. I did a little shopping and browsing over the weekend and wanted to share some of the things I saw that were new to me. If you saw any new or interesting things in the stores over the weekend please share those with us as well.

Mattel removes Monster High from Transfer Page

Yesterday I was browsing Mattel's website and decided to check and see if Finnegan Wake was still available on the shop site. When the transfer screen came up I noticed that there were no representatives from Monster High or Ever After High present like there had previously been. There was however a representative for American Girl, Julie who had not been present before.

Create Your Own Wilde Doll

I received an email earlier in the week from Wilde Imagination (one of Robert Tonner's divisions) about the new create a doll.

According to the email you can purchase a blank body and customize a resin Ellowyne or Evangeline doll. The resin bodies cost $250 for a blank Ellowyne or $295 for a blank Evangeline, each blank doll comes with a set of brown eyes and a set of blue eyes. 

I wonder if they will eventually do this with the vinyl bodies as well.
