I would be interested in seeing a review! I don’t plan on getting her, but Venus is one of my favorite dolls and I like reviews.

The Collectors Catty has been released and I'm honestly a little heartbroken. If she were G1 modelled, I would have absolutely been interested in her but not G3  Same with Hauntlywood Catty

UM FUNKO POP G1 ABBEY???? YES PLEASE??????????????????? I NEED HER!!! Ghoulia is coming too!! Not sure what that Cleo is about tho

Final issue of New Scaremester, according to the back of the comic, very quickly skimmed through

Spoiler

Reason for disappearing students? Mass control. Using the science behind Frankie's brain that Professor Frankenstein was using to potentially enhance zombies (letting them move quicker, speak English instead of Zombish, etc.).

Why was Frankie the last target when she's not a zombie? She's made of reanimated corpses, so zombie-adjascent and intended to add him to the mass-control zombie army

Who did it? Some weird short purple monster Lothar? Who cares, really

Professor Frankenstein gets staked (no joke), race is now on to save him. I like that Abbey is the one to carry him as she's caonically exceptionally strong and usually depicted as the tallest

Toralei calls Clawdeen 'Poochie' as a cutsie nickname. Didn't think I could hate the Toralei-Clawdeen shop any more but yeah, yeah I totally can. Their break-up is mostly because Clawdeen worries about becoming her mom, who put her dreams on hold then dropped them after marriage and having a family and her mom and dad are fighting over this. Ugh.

The fight scene is just ... pathetic, really

Cleo's scream breaks the mind-control machine?! Cleo can scream hard and she's used it for comedic effect but it's never a power, that's explicitly Operetta's thing, she's used it as a targeted offensive weapon before.

I do sympathise with Deuce going 'okay someone explain what's happened' on seeing Lothar bound up like a mummy by Cleo (and Clawdeen) to restrain him lol

Overall, 5/10, nice to see the ghouls again but badly executed and made worse with Toralei-Clawdeen

Still waiting for the love-based one-shot to come to me!

I saw quite a lot of MH dolls while I was down south, that aren't in my local stores up here in the midlands. Including some of the Wednesday themed ones, and some of the rerelease original sig (Toralei and someone else, forget who now).

I can't get used to Jinafire's new look, like Lagoona it kind of palls on me a bit.
