Since Halloween is rapidly approaching, I thought it would be fun to look at some monster dolls. As I hunted around for an appropriately spooky doll to review, I was struck by how many lines are still imitating the spindly look or supernatural theme of the mega-popular Monster High characters. There are the
Mystixx zombie and vampire dolls, the Zombie Girls, Midnight Magic Day and Night dolls, the
Once Upon a Zombie line, Mattel's own
Ever After High dolls...and even a bunch of shameless bootlegs of actual Monster High dolls.
It would be great to show off several monster-themed dolls this week, but as things are going I'll probably only get to one or two. I'll start with a very blatant example: a knockoff copy of Monster High Clawdeen that I found on eBay:
