I like that Draculaura, but it looks like she has the "glove" hands. I'm not a fan of any of the dolls with gloved hands because there's no option to take them off. It's also disappointing to see the shoes are all just reused molds.

Ahh...I think you might be right..I see it now. Her hands look white. It suits the outfit she's wearing, rethinking buying multiples of her now.

If your worried about the gloves get replacement hands from mattel... simple as that... or buy a couple of the scaris basic lala's and switch the hands out and cutomize or sell the remaining pieces..

Yeah, I thought about that. But that'll just end up costing more, which isn't really worth it to me.

I have a lala right now that is sitting here... so when this one comes out maybe we can trade

[animal_lover]

To much work and extra money for a doll that's already going to cost at least $20. Just buying replacement hands isn't really a big deal. But buying a doll just to completely redo it I don't really understand. But that's just me. *shrugs*

I am IN LOVE with the I shoes Cleo and Lala. Their outfits are AMAZING and I'm wild about Cleo's hair!!

[LuvlyMelody]

*sigh* I'm standing in front of both of the new cams but has no money... one of each too...

noooo I have to leave them behind...for now...>=D

[Zapper]

To everyone who wants that Lala but doesn't like the gloved hands: I'd happily trade hands with you! I think Lala with white gloves looks cute, but I probably won't be getting this doll.

I love both! It´s the first time I like all of draculaura; fashion style, hair, face... I don´t really mind the glove hands, by the way.
And for Cleo... I think her hair is stunning!
They are a must have to me. Love them.

[kurojaki]

ME WANTS!!!! I WANT BOTH!!!!

[animal_lover]

I actually surprisingly love everything about this draculaura! I love her hair, her make up, and most of all LOVING her outfit and the fact there's no black and pink! I don't think she looks to old at all. She looks age appropriate. I actually sometimes feel like they make her look really young with the obnoxious amounts of pink, all the ruffles and frills and the double pigtails. Her character always acts all sweet and innocent like a child. I think all that is what we're used to seeing for her and i think that's why she looks so mature now.

I'm not saying any of that in a negative way, just pointing out things I've noticed. But I will not be getting either of these dolls.

I loke the idea of Lala having gloved hands. That makes her deliciously retro and stylish. She looks like she's dressed in a 50'ish or 60'ish kind of style and the gloves fit right in. I also love Cleo's look to bits!

Agreed!
The colors seem to be a callback to earlier Lala releases like 2.0 and Gloom Beach and her pencil skirt is so very lovely! It's a little odd how some people find her too old looking (not that this opinion is wrong or anything), but Scarah Screams is supposed to be 15 (younger than Lala, who is 16 in vampire years), wears mostly 60s retro chic like this Lala here and I have never seen anyone complain about her looking "old" o,o

[Fräulein_Kim]

Nice dolls.. but I can do without. ^^
Lala/Cleo are probably some of my least favourite dolls since they look too human.. this release doesn't help much.. xD;
I like Cleo's outfit, but can probably buy it loose on ebay. :>

Personally, I adore this version of Lala. But her outfit is definitely more of a "vintage" look than Scarah's. The pencil skirt and capelet are things one associates with an older time period; mid-50s to early 60s, and worn by secretaries or proper ladies. The go-go boots and other items Scarah wears are more of a "youth explosion" feel to them.

I know a lot of people aren't liking the re-cast shoes, but I feel that they were good choices; and if I'm not mistaken, the pink bat-wing ones are a new mold. I hope they continue with this line, like they seem to be doing with I <3 Fashion.

[dragonlady]

Lala's pink bat ones are her DDG ones:) I personally don't mind recasts esp since some of the shoes came on exclusives originally (and it's a good way to save money on Mattel's part) but I figured they would include at least *one* original pair! Skipping out on painting details was being flat out lazy as well

I actually don't mind that either. This way I save on acetone
I usually love to paint the details in myself. It's fun!

PS: Can you tell I'm just all around pleased with this Cleo? ^^
