Without further ado, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details. Who are the Monster High Dolls and what are they like? Monster High Doll Collection

Development Hell: A Live-Action Adaptation musical was planned for 2012. The musical part got carried to the 2015 CG movie Boo York, Boo York. Gigi is voiced in English by Jonquil Goode. In Freaky Fusion, she was credited under the alias “ Joni Goode”. Howleen Wolf is the one who finds the lantern Gigi resides in, so they start developing a friendship. She finds it a little strange that she is developing a relationship with a 'finder' but enjoys Howleen's personality. She is also friends with her shadow-half Djinni "Whisp" Grant, who once tried to dominate the world. In her bio it states that she is friends with Twyla Boogeyman as well as Iris Clops with their shared passion for Astronomy. Gigi also seems to be good friends with Catty Noir as they both have common interest with each other in the New Scaremester diaries. Word of Gay: Creator Garrett Sander confirmed that several characters were meant to be LGBTQ+ (hinted at in their diaries): Finnegan Wake (pansexual), Neighthan Rot (unconfirmed, suspected to be bi/pan), Kieran Valentine (gay and struggling with internalized homophobia and misogyny), and Kiyomi Haunterly (lesbian). Interpretations he's voiced support for include: Clawdeen Wolf (lesbian), Kala Mer'ri (bi/pan), and Gilda Goldstag (trans). The Monster High doll collection can be broken up into categories – and when it’s broken up into categories, it’s easier for buyers (and players) to understand what each doll is supposed to be comprised of.Gigi has had five known 'finders': chronologically a werecat/werewolf ghoul, a banshee girl, a ghoul of unknown species with blue skin, Fawn, and Howleen Wolf. The ghouls of Monster High are off on another exciting adventure in Monster High: 13 Wishes. This time, Howleen Wolf finds an ancient genie lantern in the attic and accidentally wreaks havoc on Monster High. During all the mayhem, they make a new friend, Gigi Grant, the daughter of a Genie. The gore-geous Gigi Grant doll totally charms in a frightfully fab outfit with killer accessories, plus she's fully articulated, so your own ghoul can pose her in lots of cool ways.

They’re so hip and trendy in kids’ minds, that they may even become this generation’s version of the ‘Bratz’ dolls. Draculaura in Welcome To Monster High has a right forearm's worth of bangles, a punk multicolor-studded bracelet on her left arm, and tights under her dress. These are not present on her doll. Also from this movie, Moanica's boots have more detail in their painting and her belt is different. Boo York, Boo York is the only G1 line to include dolls of every standard body size (little sister, standard, big sister, and male.) Since the stand design is new, it is also the only line with a different stand and all of the body types.

Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy: Most of the time, the dolls are pretty good representations of their depictions in their character art, the webisodes, and the movies, but usually their faces are much milder. Some more notable inconsistencies include: Even comics can't resist, as The DCU now has its own line of various female characters going to high school (in all fairness however, DC was pushing for that to happen even well before Batman Beyond was created- but likely went ahead now thanks to other similar lines being successful). Granted, the merchandise is another Mattel property, not another company. Cash-Cow Franchise: For much of the 2010s, it went head-to-head with Mattel's own Barbie for sales. The popularity of Monster High led to a whole subgenre of similar dolls. Several Toyless Toyline Characters were intended to have toys at one point, but they were ultimately cancelled: Seth Ptolemy, Quill Talyntino, Spelldon Cauldrononello, Gory Fangtell, Dedyet de Nile, Tiki, and the Sea-Mares.

International Co Production: At least for Generation 1, the voice acting was done in America, but the animation was done in Vancouver, Canada (of course...) The G3 animated series depicts Ghoulia, Toralei, and Purrsephone with short hair, while their official dolls have long hair. Similarly, Meowlody's offical doll has her hair in long pigtails, while in the show she has it styled in twin buns.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic getting a Monster High-like makeover. Disabled Character, Disabled Actor: Kayla Cromer, an autistic actress, voices the autistic Twyla Boogeyman in G3. Playhut came out with Mystixx, which copy the look of the Monster High dolls (with some possible recasting of the Mattel molds) and features some possibly traced character art. Prototype images indicated that Clawdeen (and presumably other werebeasts) was going to have her ears mounted on a headband rather than molded onto her head. Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Pretty much every character is from a foreign country (mainly Europe), and the voice actors give them American accents, though Lagoona is given more of an Australian accent.
