Okay, so rather than remaking the ever-evolving Monster High release list every time we max out the discussion page, I've decided to give it it's own thread. That way we can keep it out of the main discussion and make it easier to find information on these dolls. A big thank you to EmoKuu for hosting these images.

I don't care if people offsite use this list or it's images, feel free, but I don't want to catch others hotlinking (copying the url and pasting it elsewhere) because it steals bandwidth from the host. Please use your own image hosting provider if you want to reuse any of these yourself. Thank you.

Note:-Unconfirmed rumors were circulating for some time that Howleen was to be be part of an upcoming store exclusive 2-pack for Target, to be packaged with her sister Clawdeen. The stock photo for her signature doll has been associated with Target, Walmart and Toys R' Us so far, so either the rumors aren't true or there is another version of Howleen planned as a future Target exclusive.



''Vote for the next Monster High Student''
A poll had taken place live at 2011 San Diego Comic Con to determine which one of three dolls (Scarah Screams, Headless Headmistress Bloodgood, or ''The Daughter of Arachne'') will be made in 2012. Con-goers were able to vote in person at Mattel's Monster High booth, while online fans were able to vote on Monster High's Facebook and homepage. Scarah Screams is the winner, while there is no official word on whether the other two dolls have been shelved or possibly put on the back burner for future releases. Her estimated release is still unknown at this time.

Scarah Screams (Daughter of The Banshee)




Skull Shores


Draculaura (part of a case revision estimated for early 2012)


Black and White Frankie Stein

Note:This doll is rumored to be a promotional item and will only be available through select stores. Many initially believed this doll to be a convincing custom, but she has now been confirmed as official. The prototype is shown wearing Signature Frankie's shoes, however the final version has shoes that are unique to her.



Store Exclusives (possible)- Stay tuned for more information.

Purrsephone and Meowlody (Twin Daughters of The Werecats)

Note: Unconfirmed rumors are circulating that these may be an upcoming 2-pack store exclusive set for Toys R' Us. While we have known their names for a while now, just exactly who was who has been the subject of some confusion among fans. It has been confirmed that the black haired twin is Purrsephone, while Meowlody is the white haired twin.

Feel free to post any questions you may have regarding these dolls or contributions that you feel would help other collectors.

Regular discussions for these dolls should be directed here: www.mlparena.com/Forum...art=0.html

I'm going to keep this spot open for a future table of contents for easy reference, just in case this thread gets too large.

Thank you to everyone for the contributions, they're great! Keep em' coming!

A couple common questions and their answers.

Q:Ahhh! My doll's arms came off! Is that supposed to happen?

A: Yes. The hands and forearms are designed to pop on and off, for ease of dressing. Older dolls just had pegs, which came off quite easily. Newer dolls will all have a little ball at the end of the peg which will help lock it on. Usually a firm but gentle tug will unlock it when you need to re-dress you doll.

The upper arms are not meant to come off, and shouldn't unless you yank on them or play roughly with them. Their legs are not meant to come off either, although there have been several reports of the legs coming off through normal play. Their legs aren't jointed the same way the arms are- they are strung to the torso with a piece of elastic. Here is a tutorial to re-stringing.

Q: Is it safe to wash my doll's hair? It feels like they have a helmet of glue!

A: Yes, it's perfectly safe to wash your doll's hair. Most of the MH dolls have saran hair, which is pretty sturdy when it comes to heat. So anywhere from lukewarm to hot water will be fine to use.

Some dolls, like later issues of Ghoulia and all Spectras use kanekalon. It's still safe to wash with fairly hot water, although boiling water can sometimes make their hair frizzy.

Abbey is currently the only exception to the hot water rule. The white hair is made up of an iridescent plastic tinsel. Some owners have had no trouble with using hot water, but proceed with caution, as the plastic may melt if it's too hot. Note that Cleo's tinsel is made of a different material and is fine to wash in extremely hot water, if you so choose.

Some owners find that using a dish soap, like Dawn, helps get all the glue. It's not necessary, but it definitely helps, and shouldn't leave a build-up.

Before washing your doll's hair, it is recommended that you strip your doll, and remove all jewelry and accessories. When you're done, squeeze the excess water out, and pat dry with a paper towel. Let their hair air dry before re-dressing them.

Q: I removed my doll from the box, and the plastic hang tags that held her in place are still stuck in her head. How do I get rid of them?

A: Expose the area by moving as much hair away as possible. Then with a pair of flat-head tweezers (the kind marketed for tweezing, not the needle-pointed ones used for splinter removal), grip the tag and give a firm pull. The tag should pop out with no problem, and no damage to your doll.

Some people find that teeth work just as well- although your dentist may not agree!

I got another one.

Q: What wigs fit MH dolls?

A: Liv wigs are a great fit once you remove the plastic tab.

Here's one:

Q: My Dolls legs fell off. What can I do to fix it??

A: The legs were probably poorly strung and unraveled, causing the legs to fall off. Here's a step by step Tutorial with pictures to help you along the way.

I havE not found Spectra or Abbie here anywhere where I live which is in Texas my friend Katie has not found them either where she lives Maryland.

Mandy, you rock SO HARD for putting this all together. THANK YOU!!

Here's a tutorial for boil-perming MH hair. Thanks to Mandy for finding the original steps

Disclaimer: I've used these steps many times on several of my dolls, and have always had good results. However, I cannot be held responsible or liable if they do not work for you.

Cut up some drinking straws. I get about three "curlers" from the bottom of each straw. You'll also need a packet of bobby pins.



Undress your doll and remove all accessories. I also leave the arms and hands off, so they don't get angled in the hair. Then rinse the doll's hair with hot water. I should have used hotter, since after so many boil-perms, signature Lagoona has curly ends. But whatever. Once the hair is thoroughly wet, pat it dry, then comb it out using a doll brush/comb.



Separate a hank of hair; not too much, or it won't set properly. Take a bobby pin and slide it through the straw. Then slide it over the very end of the hair.



Now roll it tightly up to the doll's scalp. If you don't want big curls, you can do it a bit looser. Then take a second bobby pin and slide it over the other end of the straw to secure the roll. Some people use a straight pin to hold it to the scalp, but I've never tried this.





Do this all round the head, until all the hair is in curlers.



Now, take a small pot of water, and bring it to a boil on the stove. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Boiling water is fine for most of the dolls, as their hair is saran. Saran is very durable, and really only styles well with high heat. However, a few of the dolls (most Ghoulias and Spectra) use kanekalon. This is still okay to boil perm, but I do recommend letting the water cool down a bit before using it- kanekalon can frizz a bit more easily from high heat. Also, DO NOT use this method on Abbey. Her hair contains a large amount of plastic tinsel, which will melt if dipped in boiling water.



Pour the boiling water into a ceramic bowl. Do not use metal, as you run the risk of you doll's neck melting from resting on the lip. Fill a second bowl with cold water and add a couple ice cubes.



Submerge your doll's hair hair in the hot water. Be careful not to put her whole head in, just the scalp and hair. I gently bob it for about 30 seconds.



Quickly move your doll to the bowl of cold water, and bob her head again for about 30 seconds.



Let her drain upside down for a few seconds, and then gently pat her hair with a paper towel or two. Carefully wipe any condensation off of her face, then sit her somewhere to dry. Make sure her hair isn't setting against anything, as it may hold an indentation. Also, set down some paper towels, as she's likely to drip a bit still.



Now comes the hard part- leaving your doll alone while the perm sets and dries. Anywhere from 2-3 days should be sufficient. If you remove the curlers too early, you run the risk of the hair frizzing or falling too quickly.

There are mixed opinions on this, but I put a smidge of hair mousse on each curl before removing the curlers. The MH hair tends to be rather heavy, and I find the mousse helps keep the curl from falling out as quickly. Thanks to picklepud for this tip!

Once the hair is completely dry, re-dress your doll. Then slowly remove each bobby pin, and unspool the straw. Since Lagoona is my model, before I remove her curlers, I pop the back curlers through the hole in her hood. Much easier than trying to pull the curls through after they're loose!



And there she is- with a head full of big bouncy curls, like her artwork and prototype! If you look closely, you can see a few frizzy ends- these would have been minimized if I'd straightened her hair before starting.

This tutorial can also be used to straighten a doll' hair as well. I do it whenever I get a new doll, to remove the "box crimp". Of course, I make sure the glue is washed out before dipping them in the hot water. Oh, and obviously, skip all the parts that involve curlers! Instead, gently squeeze any excess water out, and then comb before allowing to air dry.

Hope you find this tutorial helpful!

I'm pretty sure the new fashion pack that's listed as Frankie's is for Abbey.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is for Frankie. The outfit has a lot of red in it, which would clash horribly with Abbey's color scheme. Also, the red/blue combo is definitely a Frankie thing.

Definitely willing to have a friendly debate about it over in the main MH thread

Do bratz clothes fit these dolls?

Sort of. Tops aren't a bad fit (although some are a bit loose). Pants tend to be a little long. Obviously the Bratz shoes won't fit

Mandy, that you SO MUCH for making this thread. I'm totally jumping on the MH bandwagon. Can't wait to buy my first one!
