In where I talk about dolls.

As a child I was not big on dolls. The few exceptions were Strawberry Shortcake and She-ra...wait that one was more of an action figure, but the Mattel type of dolls were a meh from me.

Ponies on the other hand were my thing. Loved those ponies back in the day.

My have times have changed.

The new pony cartoon is meh, Kaitlin loves it and I watch it with her. They toys have shrunk and I have never really been into pony toys since Early 90's.

The Pony Fandom? Holy bag of do not want Batman. You have the Extreme Bronies who dub it a manly show meant just for guys and they think the toon is just for them and then you have the Extreme Pegasisters who are "My goodness how dare guys like this. Ewww No boys allowed." There are some Bronies who are cool and tolerant and the same with Pegasisters and Pegasisters who are wary of Bronies because of the extremes...and then there is curseangel Who is a card carrying SJW or SJ Sallie and Do not Engage.

And then I found a doll series with web cartoons that also teach love and tolerance. That it's cool to have your own style, to be a little freaky, to be anything and still accepted and have friends. I'm talking about Monster High.

Mattel how did you do it? I love the toons with Lagoona's Aussie accent, Clawdeen's Jersey accent, Abbey's Russian accent and mannerisims. I love the characters...especially Spectra and Draculara...so cute.

And the dolls are amazing. They have the details so amazing and all the moveable joints. Frankie and her stitches, neck bolts and two colored eyes, Abbey with her body sparkles and tusks, Cleo's bandages, Spectras transparent hands, Lagoona's fins and webbed hands. I can just go on and I love the fact that the child of Medusa is a guy.

The fandom seems nice. The only snag is the mass buyers who buy out some of the dolls and then sell them on ebay for like 80 dollars a buck. Jerks it's not just collectors who like them. The target audience is girls six and over who would like a doll of their favorite character.

Oh well. I hope someday I can land my hands on dolls of Spectra, Rochelle, and Robecca.

Oh God, curseangel. I see her flipping her shit all over F!S and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's doubly ironic in that she's only an SJ Sally for LBGT issues. Racism is a small price to pay if it means she can have a shot at canon manlovin'.

Yeah that is why I filed her under the do not engage because it would be like arguing with a wall.

Those sound like fun dolls. It's always cool when the toy makers do something imaginative, and those certainly sound it.

The webisodes are pretty good too. Each are less than 4 minutes long so it is easy to zip through all of them and the second volume has a story arc.

The Headmistress of the school is actually a headless headmistress and her steed is a nightmare that poops burning hot charcoal.

Rochelle you can often find at Target. Spectra's _really_ difficult to find, if not impossible and I've not seen Robecca anywhere yet. Yeah I like em, they're cute. Draculaura in particular has an outfit that I love and really wanna snag the doll of. The boots alone are AWESOME. =D The wife's taking a Draculaura and modifying it into a Monster High version of Pinkie Pie just because for me.
