Monster High Discussion 16

[Maniah]

I love Lagoona, but I am not really happy about the sudden and dramatic color difference. Monster from the lagoon sounds more to me about swamps, slime and such. Does this mean a permanent color change for Lagoona?

Apparently, in the 13 Wishes movie, Howleen makes a wish that turns Lagoona into a freshwater monster instead of a seawater one. It would appear that this involves her going all neon. It is not clear at this time whether this change is permanent, but I would say it's a fairly safe guess that it is not.

Wow that's awesome! she must do it for Gill.

I have to confess that I didn't like her when the first  proto pics came out, but now in this new pic she looks mush better  , she looks different from the last Lagoonas who looked very boring to me mostle the dance one. 

I don't think Lagoona would have wished herself to change like that. She was very much all about showing that people don't need to be the same race to date or make friends. Howleen probably just thinks she's trying to help and so makes a very misguided but well-intentioned wish.

The sign in the monster high section at WalMart has changed ... That better be a mistake

New promo pictures were posted on the German toy site for Cleo's Oasis and Spectra's Party Tent:

I love how Cleo's hot tub actually bubbles lol.

I don't know how I feel about Lagoona any more.  Need to see her IRL to decide if I want her or not.  I liked her promos but not so much the real pictures.

I know they had to make Lagoona different for if she is freshwater, but having her be neon seems really odd because in general, salt water fish are the ones that are more colorful. Of course, a drabber Lagoona probably wouldn't sell as well.

Oh my gosh I love those playsets!!!  Cannot wait for them to hit stores.

That is what I was thinking too.  I want to want this Lagoona becuase she is different than the others I have, but I will just have to see her in person.  Not quite sure what to think.  I think I would have preferred if her lips were a different color.

I thought the same thing when I first heard about her story Zannid, her colors scream saltwater fish.  I almost wish they had turned Gil into a saltwater creature with this coloring.  There's so many marine species out there that are bold blue and yellow, while there aren't nearly as many found in freshwater. Though they're not typically as bold, some species of African Great Lake cichlids share this color scheme though, so the design team may have gotten their inspiration there.

I have to say, the initial leaked photos of 13 Wishes Lagoona did absolutely nothing for me, but the more recent ones that were posted on facebook are making me reconsider. She is rather unique.

I see, thanks for the info  it has more sense now.

I might have to pick her up seeing how it might be a limited run for the movie promotion. Lagoona being changed into a "freshie" doesn't seem like her, so maybe a misinformed wish was made on her behalf after all. Gil was the one freaking out about his "freshie" parents finding out he was dating a "salty".

I honestly do not like the computer animated series.  I haven't been watching since noticing the change in animation style.

Hey the Indian version of the Fright Song was just posted on Youtube

i think its awesome that they have some chubby dancers in that video, shows such a cutltural difference that the girls aren't all stick figures

There are no chubby people in that video. 
How weird though, that they did a live action video for India.

I personally think it would be hard to make her drabber, since she's so pastel already. And there are tons of neon/bright freshwater fish- walk through any non-exotic pet store, and all the ones they sell are freshwater.

Remember, most fish listed as Tropical are indeed freshwater, I've had them living with my fat, sweet goldfish for years.

I already rephrased my former inference of chubby to say "average" only a few quotes down from the original....

"Chubby"? I didn't see chubby people anywhere. "Chubby" to me means "slightly overweight". Am I right or wrong? *g*

I'm sorry if "chubby" was offensive, I simply meant "normal" sized gals, aka why I said "not stick figures", I think its important that girls see ALL body shapes and sizes, and despite the fact that the doll molds show otherwise, it was awesome to see that the video adopted this credo.

"Chubby" has a broad definition IMO, so "slightly overweight could be it, but in this case I DID mean "normal"/average sized

I like the set of the Indian version so much better!
