I had a quick look and couldn't see a thread for this line. It's a nice, left-of-field idea and I've grabbed a couple of the girls. Slightly annoyed as last week I chose Lagoona over Ghoulia, only to find out Ghoulia is the rare-as-rocking-horse-poo one!

Needless to say we have the set so far, and eagerly awaiting the Spectra and Abbey coming soon! Amazon have a preorder up for Draculaura and Clawd so they won't be too long either!

I have all the regular releases except Cleo and Deuce, two of the Dawn of the Dance, and only need Cleo to complete the Gloom Beach line. I saw Dead Tired and the Clawd/Draculara at Toys R Us the other day. Wish I had the money to get them.
I actually just opened my extra Ghoulia tonight.

I am actually not buying all of them. focussing on Frankie at the mo but have Lagoone and now Ghoulia. My friend is picking me up SDCC Ghoulia which is great. I like their versatility so I am actually avoiding Draculuara and Clawdeen as the fangs really put me off. I was really upset when I finally saw a close up of Abby as she is stunning but ahain, the fangs! Spectra is lovey, and her face looks to be slightly more realworld proportioned. My wish list currently is Spectra, and maybe the beds? Here is some more love.

My favourite is Deuce, I think the boys have come out really well. The detail is exceptional for a doll line, they really are something special.
Gibbs, why the fang hate? Lol

Damn, does this mean I am fangophobic?
I like being able to use them in fashion photos and the fangs just detract from that too much. I make an exception for Frankie's stitches and bolts though!

Picked up the Dead Tired series yesterday (apart from Cleo, her dolls aren't very diverse for some reason). They go great with the beds for Draculaura and Frankie, and it's always good having another Ghoulia!

Where in the UK did you find the beds, or the DT set even? I'm waiting on the classroom wave!

To my knowledge the beds haven't appeared over here yet, like the dawn of the dance wave. We got them from America.
The Dead Tired wave is currently in Smyths, a handy toy store if you have one near you. They tend to get all Mattel products in very quick. They didn't have Clawd yet though or Spectra but they must be soon!

Oh and very jealous of you getting a SDCC Ghoulia! I was desperate for the Frankie last year but wasn't available at a reasonable price.

^^^^
It's possible that the SDCC exclusive will be available on mattycollector.com after the con this year. Apparently the Monsters High people have raised it as a possibility with the "brand manager" (Toy Guru aka SCott) who seems to have the main control of the website, but apparently nothing has been confirmed. If you'd like to see the SDCC exclusive available online, then apparently you need to make your voice heard at the Monster High website (if there is one).
Cheers.

@ Artistix
They're on sale (in Australia) for around $19.00 each in a couple of the major Toy Sale catalogues for June/July.
Cheers.

Got Clawd and Draculaura from Amazon today. Love the new Draculaura but not so keen on what Clawd is wearing, might put him in the basketball uniform for Deuce as that's what he wears in the show mostly.
Also found the Fearleading 3 pack in Toysrus, looks like a nice set, haven't opened it yet but will try and post pics soon!

I just ordered SPectra from very.co.uk, only £18 delivered. None of the £30 stuff. However the delivery date is somewhat vague - within the next three weeks!

Cheers Sammy (I will post your Amelia next week).
I popped into my local TRU on a whim and found an opened Mattel box on the floor in the Barbie / MH area. I looked inside, both Frankie and Darculaura's beds! £19.99 each. It was big chunk to pay but I didn't care. Cheaper than importing!
