Toy Fair 2013 : A Monster High Teaser

We are getting down the the wire..mere days away from the "official" kick off of the New York Toy Fair 2013....but the reveals just aren't stopping...and I am sleepy. Sooooo sleepy. NO REST FOR THE WICKED ...and especially no rest allowed when new Monster High images drop in our lap. I'll sleep next week.

Mattel is set to fill your lives with ghoulish teens ...living...loving...eating brains. Have they done the episode where they eat all the kids in the rival human high school down the road? Been waiting for that one. While we don't seem any closer to blood splattered Monster High dolls, there are quite a few things coming for 2013. Here's a small sample...


Monster High® 13 Wishes Doll Assortment : When Howleen Wolf® discovers a genie lantern, she turns Monster High® upside down! Creature chaos ensues, particularly when Lagoona Blue® is turned into a freshwater sea monster! But that’s not all! Along the way, the ghouls make two new friends: Gigi Grant™ and Twyla™. Dolls come with pet, diary, brush, doll stand and character-specific accessories. Each sold separately.

- Gigi Grant™ is the daughter of a Genie, and so she must grant the wishes of her finder - whether good or bad! But she looks charmed while doing it in a classic genie look with gold detailing and accessories.
- Daughter of the Boogie Man, Twyla™, is shy and misunderstood, she hides under normies’ beds to capture their nightmares rather than adding to them like her dad. Lacking a mean streak, she looks adorable in a cute outfit with ruffled skirt and a bow at her neck.
- Lagoona Blue® doll, the resident Sea Monster, is wished from Saltwater to Freshwater and has an all new look to match! This special Lagoona® doll shimmers in a pink and black dress with a sheer blue glittery overlay and sea-sational accessories - like a fishbowl purse.

Monster High™ 13 Wishes DVD : Monster High™13 Wishes marks the third direct-to-DVD CG animated, feature-length film to be released by Mattel’s Monster High™ brand in an anticipated partnership with Universal Pictures.  13 Wishes brings to life the age-old adage of “Be scare-ful what you wish for.” Tired of being under her popular older sister\'s shadow, Howleen Wolf™ stumbles upon an ancient genie lantern hidden deep within the attic of Monster High™. The genie is freed and grants Howleen not 3, but 13 wishes! At first, all her screams come true. But Howleen soon discovers that each wish comes with a dark side and finds herself under an evil spell of temptation that wreaks havoc on the student body of Monster High™. Join Frankie Stein™, Clawdeen Wolf™, Draculaura™, Abbey Bominable™ and the rest of the Monster High™ ghouls on an all-new DVD movie adventure as they strive to save Howleen… and the very soul of Monster High™!

  1. The girls love the Monster High Dolls. I saw some of the 13 Wishes Dolls in the store this week. I can't wait for the new movie. The Genie is cool, but my favorite new character is Twyla. I think it is so cute that she steals bad dreams. What a neat concept!
