My Birthday swag? New Monster High dolls (to me)

Lols so my birthday party was this. Asides from my amazing friends making so much damn cake and such these were the material goods I got... which considering my past birthdays, this is a very, very, VERY rare occurrence.

The first thing I opened was the vintage yukata my friend got me. Which is freaking amazing to touch and study, and it fits me great... I just need to get an Obi and I'll be done, bwahahaha... It's apparently 80 years old and such. AND I'M PUTTING DOLLS ON IT.
I also got a Monster high Frankie from the new series, school's out or something. Lols I SQUEALED LIKE A CHILD AND AM NEVER ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT. I admit I took her out of the box and played with her and such, so her hair/diary is askew.
Holt was a present which was also ferom the new line, just repackaged. I don't care since I finally have a blue man to mess with, BWAHAHAHAHA.
And I also got a first wave Frankie who heard how desperate I was for one...
I also got a $40 TRU voucher and a Baby Sitters Club Post card booklet from an amazing friend.
And there's Pac Man Pellets and Rarity waiting there...
*spazzes out* THERE IS TOO MUCH TO ABSORB. IT'S LIKE MY BIRTHDAY OR SOMETHING.

Lols, I find ironic getting these dolls especially considering the latest webisode and such...

Image
Personally I like the School's Out Frankie better than the First Wave Frankie due to having balanced eyes, nicer lips and a hairstyle I love.
First Wave Frankie is a tad too starey for my tastes and she's getting her face wiped...

Also, they are not the same face paint.

Image
Frankly, I think I'm only going to get a few dolls to keep their faces stock... This Frankie certainly falls under that category. I think I'm going to focus on Draculauras and Ghoulias for the time being....

But yeah, I straightened out Frankie's hair, took off her cheapie belt and yeah. I adore her shoes and accessories and just... yeah.

Image
I personally just wanted him for his blue skin, cuz I wanted to see what I can do with him... I frankly think his tattoo is weird with his eyebrow piercing and it's just too busy for my taste... I also think he ;looks like Glenn Close :O

Image

Image
I likw how the light shines through his hair like this. It's a very cool effect :D

Image

Image
I adore her skintone, I adore her hair, I adore her outfit and accessories. I just... loathe her face paint. It's so starey and far apart anmd and and... yeah. She's getting repainted.

I actually think Frankie has a gorgeous sculpt... It might be my favourite next to Draculaura's... It has slight eye bulges but not as severe as Lagoona's. Holt has no mold lines for his eyes which makes me cringe since I tend to be horribly asymmetric with non sculpted areas of painting ;_;

Congratulations! When was your birthday? I don't remember wishing you a happy one on the forums..! I love your repaints and I can't wait to see what you'll do with your two blank canvases. I also understand why you left School's Out Frankie's face paint alone, she is simply gorgeous. The difference between her and the first Frankie is tremendous.

Happy Birthday! That is some awesome swag. I would totally be all over School's Out Frankie if I didn't already have First Wave. :P

Happy Bday! The differences between the default faceups are subtley different as far as I can see but you're right. The Schools Out version is nicer. I wonder why they gave her that weird spacey eyed look for the first wave. I guess they must have noticed and fixed it in the later editions.

Evelien, my birthday was on last Thursday and I got these gifts on Saturday, haha... I don't think anyone on the forums wished me a happy birthday then, so thanks! I definitely have a lot more sentimental value with School's out Frankie due to her being picked out without my help and such hahas.

Alopecia, thanks!

Richila, well I painted her up and she looks uber cute so can't wait to share :D

Gift in Edge, School's Out Frankie is really sweet looking and has such nice clothing *cough*

Thanks Lokiholic :D

Llwynog, thanks! Holt has a really simplified face up but I like it now...

Landwhale, yeah, I noticed a lot of the first wave dolls have weird spacey/derpy eyes but I think Mattel is fixing that with newer dolls xD

Kayota, thanks! It's not an awesome mega ultra repaint but Holt looks cute nevertheless...
