I really love to buy toys, dolls, and figurines, but like many collectors it's hard when your income is short, so here I will post pictures of my small collections and collectible toys that I'm extremely fond of. I hope you'll enjoy the browse!
Monster High Exchange Program Wave 1
This Collection is super cute, and also introduced Lorna and Marisol into the doll series, two characters with adorably different personalities. Marisol is the cousin of Abbey and the daughter of Big Foot, and Lorna is the daughter of the Loch Ness Monster. The Webisodes that these dolls are based on are about a School Exchange Program where Ghouls and Mansters Travel across the world and some new friends come to Monster High. Draculaura travels to Shibooya which I believe is in Monster Japan. This could be why she is featuring a super cute kimono. Lagoona Blue goes to the city of Madread which is a Spanish city that she is definitely styled the part for. Marisol and Lorna both travel to Monster High. We learn that Lorna loves to photobomb pictures, and Marisol encourages her friends to love themselves even their Freaky Flaws! I absolutely love this collection and I'm hoping for a second wave to be released soon. The Fashions are really great on all four of these dolls. |
Monster High Coffin Bean Collection
I usually don't go for the simpler sets, but I just love coffee shops, and these dolls all have their own special favorite brew and have great fashions, My favorite in this line is definitely Robecca Steam. In fact this is also my favorite Robecca doll they've made. The Coffin Bean is a "coffee" or brew shop at the mall in the Monster High webisodes. A great place for the ghouls to hang out! |
Monster High Haunted Collection
Haunted was one of the movies released and that is what these dolls are based on. In Haunted, Spectra and her friends travel to the Ghost World to see why Monster High is being haunted. The movie was really great and one of my favorites, I definitely recommend it. I just have to say this collection is really cool and unique. All the characters feature opaque skin, and chains. Your sub-released characters of Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Twyla, all have an almost mask like darker strip across their eyes which sort of makes them look like vigilantes, and I'm still not sure how I feel about the look, but I think I'm leaning more against it. However, Spectra herself to the right does not have this strip for which I am forever thankful seeing as she is always a ghost and her natural look is perfect. This is my favorite of all the Spectra dolls I've seen released. Her hair has silver in it and I really love it. Vandala Doubloons is my favorite character in this collection and my favorite in the movie too. I'm not sure why, but this Spectra doll was REALLY hard for me to find. Some people said it wasn't released in the US, but I did indeed after months of searching find her behind 10 Haunted Clawdeen dolls at my local Toys R Us. So she is definitely out there, I'm just not sure if she is only now hitting the market or if she is simply meant to be rare. Either way I am so happy to have the complete set now, since Spectra is really the star of the movie it makes it even better to have her in the set. |

Freak du Chic Circus is the coolest doll line done by Monster High and any doll line that I've ever previously seen. To the left is the slideshow of the dolls I have from this collection, 2 more are due to be released exclusively to Target, Twyla and Clawdeen. I'm pretty excited about it because they look dark and creepy which is why this line is so great.
There were 3 Act webisodes based on this doll line that were super adorable and worth watching. Monster High is trying to save the Arts Program at their school with the help of the newest character Gooliope Jellington, whom is a 17" doll and is so fabulous! The side art on these boxes is amazing, I really love Rochelle, she came only in the playset for this collection but she was worth the 40 dollars. Some people ask me why I really don't open my dolls, It's not that I don't want to, it's just that their box art is great and they are posed perfectly in their boxes and I can't bring myself to destroy it. However I do have some opened dolls. Including a Gooliope. The Toralei doll in this set is one of my favorite Toralei dolls on the market. I have also added the Ghoul Fair dolls I have to this collection because they are connected to the Freak du Chic dolls. |
Monster High Sweet Screams, Draculaura, Frankie, Ghoulia, and Abbey. This is such a cute line and I am very grateful to have gotten my hands on these before they got too expensive. They all feature different sweets. I know this may sound really silly, but I seriously can't tell if Draculaura's sweet is Gum like the artwork, or if it's licorice like her hair wraps. Either way she is super cool. Frankie is unclear to me too, I'm pretty sure she is Peppermint in general, because of the candy canes and the unidentified wrapped sweets in her hands on the artwork. Ghoulia is very appropriately featuring gummy candy, the art of her gnawing on the bear is so cute, and the gummy worms just make me think of the ground, which makes me think of the dead, and rising from the ground, ect. you get the point. Even more appropriately is Abbey featuring ice cream!!! This is my favorite doll in the set because they made Abbey look so dark and yet adorable. I love her melted ice cream cone skirt apron!
Monster High Scarily Ever After dolls.
This was a really neat idea, I love that they spun old memorable characters into knew ones. Clawdeen or Little Dead Riding Wolf is my favorite in this set. I am not sure how I feel about the name they used because Clawdeen/Wolves aren't dead monsters, so it was a strange choice but I think her outfit is perfect. Apple Bite was super fitting to Draculaura since she's a "vegetarian" vampire, just as Threadarella was great for Frankie seeing as her character requires thread to stay together, not that her limbs do anyways. Over all it's an extremely impressive set of dolls, definitely what every collector of MH dolls would want in their collection. The boxes even look like book bindings! |

Monster High Gloom and Bloom Collection
I simply adore this collection and the boxes these dolls were put in. The artwork is very detailed and colorful, they all come with plants and gardening styled things, and they all look like they're dressed for the fanciest garden party of a life time which is really great. the Gloom and Bloom set is based on the Webisodes on Amanita Nightshade, the bad seed of the Corpse Flower. She is basically hilariously *beep*y. The Cleo in this line is my favorite Cleo de Nile doll, I don't have much of her because I'm not the biggest fan of her character, but she looks really cool in her dress... You know what, every doll in the Gloom and Bloom set is my favorite of that character. I even like this Jinafire more than in the Freak du Chic line. Which is saying something. Amanita's box says she's limited edition, but honestly there have been so many of her everywhere I really don't think she was/is limited at all. Overall, This is a really beautiful collection and I find that it's one of my favorites and am proud to have it in my home. |
Monster High Frights, Camera, Action Collection.
This collection is based on the Monster High movie Frights, Camera, Action, and features all the new characters from it Including my personal favorite Elissabat, who is the reason I wanted this collection, Viperine, Clawdia, and Honey Swamp. I really wish they had done a Robecca Steam for this collection, I don't want to say why so I don't spoil anything but she is involved in this movie even if just for a short period of time. I sort of wish they hadn't done the sub-dolls of Clawdeen, Draculaura, Lagoona, and Cleo, maybe just Draculaura and she should have been a special boxed character. I also don't understand why they did Operetta, whom I love don't get me wrong, but I don't recall her having a big part if any in the film. Over all the main 4 dolls are really great and I'm glad I've got them. Operetta was exclusive to Walmart in case anyone is interested in finding her. |

Monster High Vinyls
These are collectible vinyl figures mostly aimed toward older audiences who are a fan of Monster High. I absolutely adore these so much. This slide show will grow as more come out because I plan to buy them all of course. I currently have all the ones available to the market except for the SDCC exclusive Nefera vinyl who is amazing, but unfortunately not worth what she's going for on ebay. So far there are only 2 Chase vinyls or rare variants, and they are Draculaura and Frankie Stein, both are very cool their skin is black with cool patterns. My mom and Friend each found me a Chase Draculaura so I was able to open one and I really love her. :) |
Above is a Gallery of all my extra, miscellaneous, 2 packs, and incomplete sets of Monster High dolls. I have more Robecca Steam dolls than anything because she is my absolute favorite character of Monster High, I love her back story, her style, her personality. She's all around awesome. I also almost have a complete set of Freak Fusion, I need 2 more of the main ones and the sub-dolls but I don't plan to get the sub-dolls because I really don't like them much.

Ever After High dolls.
I love these dolls, they are so cute and have the most beautiful intricate doll clothing, especially for how well their prices are. My favorite Ever After High character is Madeline Hatter, I have 3 of her because her fashions are just so great. I also really like Cerise Hood and Cedar Wood a lot. Hopefully in the future I will have a lot of more EAH dolls The show for Ever After High I find to be a bit repetive and confusing since most of their webisodes seem like trailers for a show that never seems to start, there are a few episodes that actually seemed to progress the story a bit, but I haven't seen any for a while because of this. Maybe I'll start watching again soon though so I can see if Dexter realizes that Cupid loves him or he and Raven end up together forever. <3 |
Star Wars the Black Series + Commemorative Collection
I love this series of star wars figures, they are all pretty well made and detailed. A bit pricy but worth it. I absolutely love star wars especially episodes 4, 5, and 6, and am really looking for the new ones to come out. I don't have many of these figures but I'm sure the collection will grow over time. Right now I do have my favorites Leia, Han and Chewy, the rest are mostly for my boyfriend whose favorites are Darth Vader and black dressed Luke. I just had to get Jabba because leia needed him to be complete with her sexy slave outfit. |

My Little Pony Equestria Girls and regular Pony toys.
My favorite MLP character is Trixie. I also really love Derpy, Fluttershy, and Octavia, but enjoy all the ponies overall. There isn't one that I don't like. I've recently gotten a couple EG dolls and have discovered that despite being about just as expensive as Monster High dolls that even though their quality isn't as nice, they definitely demonstrate their animated selves really well and I find them just as fun, though I prefer the ball jointed ones so much better and hope they continue to release more, the ones that don't have bendable joints are still just as cute. |
Transformers
I collect many various Transformers with my boyfriend. I really like Grimlock, as you can see we have 2 different ones of him. I really only like the bigger ones even though the smaller ones tend to have great details, I just like having a bigger figure to Transform and play with. This slideshow will grow as we collect more but for now we only have a few and some Transformers Funko Pop vinyls to hang out with them. |

Funko Pop!
I have a lot of random Funko Pop!s, I love these collectable figures a lot, they are so addictive to buy and there are so many of them, the more interests you have, the more you have to buy!! They are all super cute and to die for. Love them to death! I mostly collect the Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Guardians of the Galaxy, but I would love all the MLP and Disney ones, It's just hard to get all the ones I want when there are so many to choose from, especially considering they are usually over 9 bucks a piece, you could become poor collecting these, but it's so worth it! My favorite Pops are definitely my Trixie, R2D2, Maleficent,and Dalek Pops. I collect these with My boyfriend, so some are his and some are mine, we sort of have them everywhere in our collection room which is quickly becoming overfull! I'm not sure these will ever be worth much considering they have so many everywhere except for exclusives, but you just have to get them.... I have so much collection addiction issues. omg! |
Novi Stars
I absolutely love the Novi Star dolls, They are tiny and cute like alien fairies. I wasn't a fan of the kids show, but these dolls are so cool. They don't have much flexibility but they are definitely worth having at the right price. I'm sad that they are currently no longer producing in the US, because I have to go through a lot of trouble and money to obtain them now. I really want to have Doe A. Deer but I'm not willing to pay 50 dollars right now for her. I do however absolutely love the ones I have especially Nita Light and her Energy Pod. |
