While I agree on the points made about the lack of speaking, and the ridiculous body proportions, I'm not afraid to say that I, as a doll collector, own four monster high dolls myself, and I'm not a tween, I'm 20 years old.

I know women upwards of 25 who collect the dolls - this isn't strictly a tween thing. And while they may be uncomfortably similar to Barbie in their proportions, I believe they are a step in the right direction for toys aimed at young girls. The fact that Mattel are realizing -albeit very slowly- that toys that look different, and are not the typical blonde trope type of doll can gain popularity is something, even if they are currently still playing very safe with just how 'freaky' they can get.

I think the unnatural skin colours, the fact that the doll Ghoulia Yelps is into intellectual persuits like reading and the idea of embracing ones 'imperfections' is much improved from the usual obsession with purely physical attributes. They're certiainly not perfect and have a LONG way to go, but I think they should be applauded due to the fact that Mattel finally stepped out of the gneder stereotyped, ridiculously restricting box they are in with Barbie and focused on creating dolls that are all different, not carbon copies with different skin colours, as they did with Barbie.

I don't see what you're complaining about. Like Scarah, here, teaches us that instead of thinking "The kids at school read too much into what I say and that's THEIR problem," she goes with "I'd better shut up to be accepted. I think she means that if she speaks, since she's a banshee, it will literally kill the person hearing it. Which is pretty awesome.

But you're right. The allegory is super obvious and super troubling: a girl who chooses not to use her voice at all just for the sake of social acceptance and the comfort of others. The use of "monsters" in popular culture to signify empty faux-rebellion and to sneakily reinforce societal norms see Lady Gaga, the explosion of the supernatural romance sub-genre, these "Monster High" dolls Mostly because I just personally love monsters for what they traditionally represent.

I agree—a series about a Monster High could've been a lot cooler than this! Traditionally, monsters are anything but conformist. That used to be the point! I agree with the poster who pointed out what a faux-rebellion things like this represent.

Besides, if I want a horror or supernatural themed doll, give me the Living Dead Dolls any day. Why is this article a disappointment? Because the dolls are a disappointment? The attitudes the dolls represent are a disappointment? The article is poorly written? The article's analysis is disappointing? You are just generally disappointed with most everything?

If you have something to say, don't pull a Scarah, say it. So, I have the same beef with Monster High dolls, but at the same time, I find myself liking them if only in a kistchy, ironic sort of way. I would also like to say that the male MH dolls are just as weirdly proportioned. Also, also, one of the coolest things I've seen done with MH dolls are custom makeovers, where the original paint is washed or sanded off and new faces, along with new characters, are painted on, and the dolls are given new hair and outfits to match.

Obviously this does nothing about the bodily proportions although I;ve seen several instances where female heads are put on male bodies , but it opens up a discussion of the "monstrous," and how it is portrayed.

Scarah likes Hoodude, because he is a good listener, and Hoodude, being a sensitive soul, just appreciates all positive attention he gets. She is friends with Iris Clops , shown in most webisodes, but most prominently in " Kind: The Shockumentary ," as they forgive each other after arguing.
