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.

Lighting For My Third Dollhouse

This post is sort of by request. This will explain the lights I used on the dollhouse.

This is it with the lights turned off. 

I found this in front of my building one day. It's a cardboard dollhouse. I turned it into an 8 room house for my Mini Lalaloopsie dolls. 

It may have looked like this originally. The one I found didn't have the roof on it. 

Here it is lot up. During the holidays last year, I found some LED Christmas lights at the Dollar Store for $6. LED lights are great because they're very bright and they don't get hot so I don't have to worry about starting a fire. 

I got the idea to use these lights somewhere on the internet when I did a search for "lights for dollhouse".  

This photo isn't very good. The lighting is actually very bright. 

It's kind of hard to see here but these are the individual lights poking through holes I made in the dolls house big enough to fit one light each. I out 5 or 6 lights in each room. 

This is a photo of the back of the dollhouse. I think they're are 100 lights on this string of lights. On the bottom right is the control box that I tried to tape to the house but it keeps falling off. These lights have a regular plug that plugs into a wall socket or an extension cord.

I found this to be the cheapest way to light a free dollhouse. Dollhouse lights are very expensive. No way am I paying the prices I've seen on website that sell things for dollhouses. 

I've also bought battery operated LED lights that have 20 lights for a dollar. I used 3 of those on a didn't dollhouse the same way. I think I used a screwdriver to make the holes. The holes aren't neat at all. I'm sure there are better ways to make the holes. I don't know much about making stuff like this and I don't really have any kind of building tools. I was just doing it as cheaply as possible. 

I hope this helps.

Ever After High Ashlynn Ella & Hunter Huntsman

These dolls come in a set. They're a couple. She's a Royal, the daughter of Cinderella. He is the son of Huntsman from Red Riding Hood.

Here's Ashlynn. Her dress is very tight and she can barely move in it. But it is marvelous, fetching and looks like something a royal would wear. She has a nice bracelet, too. Too bad the British royal don't dress like this because those people are BORING and they wear the most unattractive, least fashionable clothes imaginable. 

You can't see Ashlynn's necklace in this photo. Her earrings are little gold shoes. Her headband is some pink leaves or something. 

This is her purse. It's a clock. I think it opens but I couldn't get it open and I didn't want to break it. Her ring is a little bird. Couldn't get a clear shot. Sorry. 

Here she is from the back. Her hair is kind of a mess. She came put of the box like this. Their boxes were harder to open than Monster High boxes. Their joints aren't as good as Monster High, either. 

Cruel shoes. (Nobody's going to get this reference.)

Her crap. Again, not gonna read the story. Don't care. 

She is very pretty. I bought this set because I really wanted Hunter. He is awesome. I would've preferred to get him by himself. I don't have any decent male dolls and I like dolls that are articulated. 

If Ashlynn and Hunter didn't come together I wouldn't want her. 

Here's Hunter. Great clothes. Love the bag he comes with. Hair is kind of weird. Very stiff. Lots of styling product. 

A little bit of glue stuck to his face. 

His boots. So cool. 

 Some sort of bracelet. Like it.

Big hood for a big head. 

Here he is striking a very strange pose...just because he can? His clothes are terrific. 

His story, whatever it is. 

The rest. 

The bag opens. Too cool. 

Here's Hunter and Liv doll Jake. He's wearing Cody Simpson clothes. Jake has much better articulation but, boy, is he ugly compared to Hunter. But they're both better than Ken dolls. What is with those thick necks on Ken dolls?HIDEOUS! I don't like the Monster High boy dolls, either. 

The lovely couple. 

  

Here they are with Madeline Hatter. 

Here they are with Monster High Frankie Stein Threaderella for comparison. Madeline is 10 inches tall. Don't know who she can share clothes with.  

I might get a few of the Ever After High Legacy dolls when they come out around here. Ever After High are gook looking, attractive, fashionable dolls. They are my Pullip substitutes. Madeline and Hunter are my favorites. If most boy dolls weren't so hideous I'd buy more of them. But now I'm growing bored with having so many girl dolls and just 2 males. So I'm glad I got Hunter...and Maddie.
