My Trip to the American Girl Store NYC

My trip to the American Girl store was brief. It was mad crazy in there. The store is located at 49th St. and 5th Ave. The historical dolls were on the 2nd floor. The other dolls are on the first floor. I didn't even bother with the 3rd floor where the salon and diner were.

I just took a couple of photos and ran. I don't know the name of any of the dolls. American Girl dolls are too expensive for me. I'll never own one so I don't bother to learn their names. 

I just wanted to document my trip to the store because I'll probably never make it back there again. 

These are the outrageously overpriced baby dolls. 

This photo makes me want to knit a poncho for my Our Generation doll, Sadie. 

Yeah, I'll get around to it someday. 

The hair quality on these dolls is incredible. 

This one was one of my favorites.

Monster High Toralei Cat Tastrophe Review

The Crafty Kitty of Chaos. She is a crime fighting cat who's giving off some fierce Julie Newmar/Lee Meriweather Catwoman from the Batman series realness. 

This is the back of her box in case you haven't seen it yet. It says a bunch of stuff I couldn't be bothered to read. 

Her she is out of her box.

She is my absolute favorite Monster High doll. I found her at Target for $10. I'm sure everybody has her by now because that was an excellent deal. I know I couldn't pass it up. 

This doll is all over eBay now for a lot more money. 

She comes with the usual stand and brush and an excellent mini comic book that is absolutely excellent. It was the only comic book I've ever enjoyed. It would be great if Mattel could expand Toralei's story into a regular, stand alone comic book or graphic novel that is sold separately from the dolls. I would totally buy that. 

  

She has a mouse on her bracelet and painted on fingerless gloves. She also has a belt with some stuff hanging on it. Forgot to take a photo of it. 

Her are both of her arms so you can see her bracelets. 

I will never be brushing this part of her hair because it's adorable and I never want to mess it up. 

Her awesome boots. 

And just because it's so much fun to pose her here are more photos. Her stand makes her a lot of fun to pose. 

Here are some of her stunt moves. 

Here's my Monster High collection so far.

Monster High Rochelle Goyle

I just got Ghoul's Night Out Rochelle Goyle, daughter of the Gargoyle. Which gargoyle? Does this gargoyle have a name? Is the gargoyle her mother or her father? No idea.

Anyway, as you can see she's pretty and cute. As with most Monster High dolls, her dress is entirely too short. I don't think its appropriate for dolls that are sold to little kids. When she sits you can see her crotch. It wouldn't be so bad if she came with a pair of black panties. 

Here are her accessories. A cosmetics compact, a smart phone(?), perfume bottle, purse and hair brush. She also came with a stupid Ghoul's Night Out pamphlet. 

She has cute ears and barrettes. 

Her hair is pink with blue stripes. It's past her knees and pretty good quality but it has constant static cling. 

Her shoes and her granite skin. The quality of her skin is what I like about her the most. 

Her very expressive hands. I like her hands. They don't look like claws. 

Her head tilts from side to side but not up and down. When she looks straight ahead her head is always tilted upwards so she's always looking up at the ceiling. This drives me crazy. 

Here are more photos so you can see more details of her face and clothes.
