Robotica's Crazy Customizing

This is my Monster High Frankie Stein Threaderella doll. I'm not artistically inclined but I wanted to give her more color. To me, this doll is colorless and kind of washed out compared to the other Monster High dolls except Catty Noir who's mostly just black. 

I painted her lips and eyebrows blue to match her dress and to give her more color. I removed the stitches on her cheek with finger polish remover. And I painted her crown silver. I think it's a nice contrast against blue. Blue is the perfect color for her. 

The Velcro on the back of her dress doesn't stick together anymore. I don't know what that's about. Driving me nuts. Someday I'll replace it with snaps. 

Let's talk about her hair for a moment, shall we? I absolutely hate it. I know she's supposed to look like the bride of Frankenstein (her mother?) but I just can't stand it. To me, she looks like she's gone prematurely gray. 

One thing I really like about Monster High 

dolls is that they're very colorful so I re-rooted her hair. 

I watched a couple of tutorials on YouTube and made a homemade re-rooting tool because I was too cheap to buy one. Cut all of her hair off. I then took her head off (broke her neck in the process), removed the glue inside her head with a pair of small needle nose pliers. There was a lot of glue in her head. 

The hair is Yaki tangle free human hair that I bought from the beauty supply store. One pack was blue and cheap. 

Then I re-rooted the hair, filled her head with Elmer's glue because that's all I had and stuck her head back on the best I could. I had to put duct tape on her neck to keep her head on. She doesn't have very much movement in her head anymore but that's all right. I just have to be very careful with her. 

I have no idea why the hair is sticking out like that. I don't think human hair is the best for this. Next time I'll use actual doll hair. You can buy it on the internet. 

I put some thin braids in her hair and put it back in a pony tail. I'm not very good at styling doll hair. This is the next thing I need to work on. Maybe watch some YouTube tutorials to learn how. 

 The hair sticks out like that and will not lay flat.

And it sheds like crazy. 

It was first time trying something like this. I didn't know what to expect. It was a lot of fun. It isn't perfect but I still like the results. I'm going to leave it like this for now. The next time I re-root a doll I'll use doll hair. I'm sure it will come out much better.

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.
