Mattel is giving us a Halloween treat in a few days. Their Monster High dolls have acquired two (well, actually, three) new students. They come from It and The Shining.
For the tweens who love Monster High movies, dolls, clothes, and everything in between, these new dolls might not catch their eye. These new characters aren't presented in a new movie or short series, but it is coming to shelves for the adults who love to collect.
The Grady twins from The Shining and Pennywise from It are becoming dolls that are part of the Monster High Skullector series.
Mattel teased fans earlier this month by posting an image of a silver doll. Fans were quick to tweet #bringbackmonsterhigh. However, the following day Mattel revealed that the silver doll was actually a clear Barbie that showed the inner working of the doll from way back when. Fans were super disappointed.
Mattel responded back simply saying, "We're listening, stay tuned (winking emoji)."
Just yesterday, Rebecula13 posted these images for fans. She is the incredibly creative designer behind these fabulous ghouls! What girl doesn't love Monster High? It's the epitome of fright and fab! The whole message behind the brand is to promote diversity and love for your "freaky flaws and all."
Rebecula13 said, "EEK! Yes, the rumors were true! They were real all along! 😉 I’m so excited to introduce you to the MONSTER HIGH SKULLECTOR dolls! Here is IT PENNYWISE! These ghouls are a dream (or good nightmare) come true for me to not only design them for my favorite doll brand, but also work on my favorite terrifying properties from the legendary WB! Somebody pinch me! These are a tribute to the Horror Movie Genre and of course MONSTER HIGH!"
We should've known because Mattel filed for trademark for the word "Skullector" back in 2019, also the time when Rebecula13 gave us a preview on the Pennywise sketch she was working on.
Fans have been waiting for new dolls since 2017; so, now you can grab your doll on October 23rd, which is also trademark "Ghoul's Night Out" by Mattel. Pennywise will be $59.99 retail price. The Grady twins from Stephen King's The Shining will be $74.99, as said by clawdeena9 on YouTube.
