Monster High + Ever After High My Views So Far???

With the epic success of Monster High, I think it's safe to say that Barbie is clearly a imagination in the past. The ballsy attempt to create the offspring of the monsters, I myself as a younger version. As well as others grew up on turning them into something that has started a serious craze of must have paraphernalia back in 2010. While still growing strong the Monster High franchise to me hasn't seem to have slowed the process in creating fresh material, I was on it since day one, and even though I only own two dolls. Which is sad to say the least, I love them. My favorite character thus far is Cleo. Of course I'm not this vain, but she is beautiful. The main characters of Monster High include Frankie Stein daughter of Frankenstein, Clawdeen Wolf daughter of a werewolf, Draculaura daughter of Count Dracula, Cleo de Nile the 5,842 year old daughter of The Mummy, Lagoona Blue daughter of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Ghoulia Yelps daughter of zombie I currently own Cleo and Clawdeen. While when, I first seem these dolls back in 2000, I had no idea they would have been as big as they are now, but in all honesty. It just shows you how much times have change from Barbies, and Raggedy Ann. Go Figure???
Now the Ever After High concept to me is interesting because it's a spin off of Monster High, but the only differences is. Other than the fact that they aren't monsters, but they are the offspring of our classic fairy tale parents, I however just started getting into Ever After High earlier this week, I actually seen the dolls before I knew anything about them and the only reason I became somewhat interested. Was because I saw Madeline Hatter and eventually it a must I obtain her before the the original can no longer be found. Giving this concept a 8 out of 10 simply because, I see potential in the effort, I don't love the dolls per say. They don't grab me in looking like the characters in the series as the dolls of Monster High, but from my understanding on what, I read they wanted the dolls not to look so much like how they do is the series. Whatever?????? The main characters in the series include Raven Queen Daughter of the Evil Queen. From Snow White, I was a little confused by this before I knew which queen they were speaking of. Anyway back to the line up... Apple White The daughter of Snow White, Madeline Hatter the daughter of the Mad Hatter, Briar Beauty the daughter of Sleeping Beauty. Now it's other characters in the series of course that me personally, I felt should have been part of the main line up. Like Ashlynn Ella daughter of Cinderella, Cerise Hood daughter of Red Riding Hood. She by far is my favorite. Even more so then Madeline. Now if, I had a choice. Which, I do. Ashlynn, and Cerise Hood would be my choice. Everybody else are just in the story. O can't forget about Blondie Lockes. Daughter of Goldie Lockes. She's okay too, I feel that all of them bring a unique life to the series of not only the cartoon, but the dolls as well. We'll see just how all this plays out, but I will have some of these dolls on my self as well. Both lines are amazing and the fashion is undeniable one of the best sense, I have ever seen on dolls that are mostly marketed for young girls. No dolls, I have ever grew up on had fashion like any of these dolls, and the shoe game stands alone, I would love to own all of them. With that said this ends my views so far on Monster High & Ever After High. Stay tuned for actual video blogs coming sometime next year. As well as my own reviews on my dolls and other things of that nature. Until next time with Dear Frosti Dior Ashlynn.
