In Blogspot's internal stats, you can't ask it for yearly numbers, but happily, if you click All Time, more than 5 of 2012's articles made the cut. It was a year of unexpected scoops...some expected hits and some that may surprise you.
#5: Toy Fair 2012: Mattel Monster High - I'd taken the horrors of Monster High over to Dread Central, and Idle Hands, when we first discovered the YouTube animated clips. Since then, you could say the concept has exploded, but our look at Monster High items for 2012 came at the height of a scalper feeding frenzy. With every light shipment of the mega popular dolls came 3 to 4 portly middle aged opportunists who would clear the shelves, assuring a high public demand and with it, COLLECTOR RAGE!! These days, the stores are fully stocked, the fans happily hunt for their favorite high school horrors, and Mattel hopes to get, at the very least, another year of creepy dolly love.
