The Group! and a Project! and some Monster High!

Greetings!

I have been busy! (what's new right?) Last weekend after I photographed Apple, I realized I needed to rearrange my EAH shelf. I couldn't see Raven, Maddie, or Cerise as they were in the back. So, there was no better time than the present for a photo shoot!

The group!

Aren't they just the cutest? Apple, Briar, Raven, Madeline

Maddie, Ashlynn & Hunter, Cupid, Blondie

Blondie, Cedar, Cerise, Dexter

Cedar, Cerise, Dexter, Holly & Poppy

I love them ALL!

I also took pictures of their fabulous storybook boxes. I have never had one box not stay together after I took out the doll. I feel that these boxes have been designed well so they would hold their shape. 

I did have a picture of the entire row of them but accidentally deleted the photos from my SD card. Boo! Just pretend these two photos are together. :) 

 

Do you know your Royals and Rebels? Here's the list!

Royals:
Apple White
Briar Beauty
Ashlynn Ella
Blondie Lockes
Dexter Charming
Holly O'Hair

Mattel has also announced three new Royals that will be making their debut soon! And I can NOT wait!

Hopper Croakington II
Duchess Swan
Daring Charming

How exciting is that!

Rebels:
Raven Queen
Madeline Hatter
Hunter Huntsman
C.A. Cupid
Cedar Wood
Cerise Hood
Poppy O'Hair

Mattel has also announced there will be a new Rebel to join the line! I think i'm more excited for this one than any of the royals coming out. 

Kitty Cheshire

How cute will she be with her curly pigtails? She will be a hit. 

There is also one doll that I am holding off on for a bit. Tell you why in a sec. 

The most beautiful Lizzie Hearts who falls into the Ever After High Royals.

I LOVE her.

Lizzie is our second shorter doll, sized the same height as Maddie. I have not seen her in person yet but from these photos, she looks fabulous. 

Why have I not snatched her up yet? Because I'm entering a contest. This brings me to my project!

The Ever After High Dolls page on Facebook is having a comic contest! And if I come in third place, I could win her!

The first and second place prizes? Cerise Wolf or Manny Taur and Iris Clops, the exclusive EAH and MH dolls sold at SDCC. Wow! She also throws in some other SDCC MH and EAH goodies as well. Now that's awesome!

Her contest is making a comic starring an EAH character. Pictures can either be done with photographs or hand drawn which allows those who have NO artistic drawing talent to enter!

I'm starting on my project today while the hubs is out and about. I asked him to help me come up with a story but you can see how well that went...... ;) I've got an idea though. I hope it's enough to win!

My story features the fabulous....Raven Queen!

I also went shopping yesterday to pick up some baby things and needed to buy one MH dress as a prop for my comic. Do you know that they have NO MH fashion packs in stores anymore? I figured maybe I could pick up a doll if the price was cheap enough and I liked the dress. No dice. But I did find a doll that I liked. I don't know. Maybe I'll get her. 

Monster High Freaky Fusion Dracubecca

www.amazon.com

Dracubecca is a fusion of...you guessed it. Draculara and Robecca Steam. Cute no?

To be honest, I found all of these freaky fusion dolls super cute. I would have been tempted to buy if they were not $20.99 USD. They'll come down I'm sure.

Cleolei - Fusion of Cleo de Nile and Toralei

www.amazon.com

Lagoonafire - Fusion of Lagoona Blue and Jinafire Long (this one really gets me, cute!)

www.amazon.com

Clawvenus - Fusion of Clawdeen Wolf and Venus McFlytrap (The earrings! I can't even.....)

www.amazon.com

These Freaky Fusions are different from the hybrids that came out previously: Avea Trotter, Bonita Femur, and Sirena von Boo. I love these mashes of characters. Awesome!

I will post up my comic as soon as the contest is over, September 12. I better get to work!

Until then I'll have more Barbie posts coming up soon!

Let me know in the comments:

*Excited about the new EAH royals and rebels?
*Have any MH Freaky Fusion? Love or don't love them?
*Any EAH you plan to get in the future? (For me it's Thronecoming!!)

Until next time friends!

Happily Ever After

Greetings!

From the title, bet you can't tell what I'm going to write about today. :)

All of you already know that my true true love is Barbie. I've been collecting Barbie since I've been a small child and I love everything about Barbie. But one of the cool things about being a doll collector is getting to branch out with new and different types of dolls. And especially when I see them at thrift stores, I just can't pass them up. In addition to my Barbies I have these additions which you may remember reading about in past blogs.

Monster High Rochelle Goyle dressed in a Draculara outfit. Got her at a thrift store with no clothes. I'm a sucker for pink hair!

Liv "It's My Nature" Sophie Doll. Beautiful glass eyes.

And "Little Rosebud" from my childhood.

I never really got into the Monster High craze but through other blogs I've read, there have been some wicked cool dolls that I've been introduced to. (Wicked? No pun intended!) I do have to say that I love the "Scaris" line. But never really been tempted to buy them. 

Then came "Ever After High." I was really interested to see if these dolls took off as well as Monster High did. First they came out with Apple White, Raven Queen, Briar Beauty, and Madeline Hatter and although they were cute, I never really had any interest. 

Then I saw this girl. 

And I was hooked. I fell in love with Ashlynn Ella. She was so cute!

AND they come with stands. How awesome is that? How could you not love this doll? The shoe earrings, the clock handbag that almost strikes 12?

And the shoes. I don't know who at Mattel designs the shoes for these dolls (and Monster High for that matter) but these are great. I think it would be great fun to design shoes for dolls but secretly wishing they could be for humans too!

And as you may already know, when you buy Ashlynn, you get her secret love Hunter Huntsman as well!

I like Hunter. He's got really stiff hair though. Like, Holiday Barbie stiff hair. But with the way it's styled, I wonder if it would lay like that if it wasn't stiff. I don't want to find out. 

He has some cool shoes too!

They are just so cute together

I didn't go into too much detail because there are a TON of blogs that talk about this first male doll to the line of Ever After High. But I just love them. AND...I will confess, I want to get the entire line. My amazing hubs gives me $100 every month so I'm planning on using that to purchase the first wave of dolls. 

Friends, what do you think of Ever After High? Love them? Not for you? Have them all so far? Let me know in the comments!

Until next time!
