Sooo, I took the plunge to get Gooliope, as I still had an unused gift card ^^" I love the Monster High girls, and I am really impressed by this tall one's double joints and resulting range of motion. However, on the whole I was a bit "underwhelmed", because I just cannot get over how big her head is in proportion to that insectoid body...

Boiling straight that rat's nest of hair and getting her into a handknit dress did help a bit, though.

Wow! I didn't know they were making this size. Now I'm thinking about possible hybrids. Wonder if they will make any larger scale boys.

Wow, she is big! I think I'll have to see one for real to make up my mind about getting one.

She looks so good with straight hair :) I've been unsure whether to boil mine yet as I do like the curls, but yes there are a bit ratty.

My version of Blob Girl has been commandeered for a Novi Stars head so no Mini Me for mine, (I was tempted to switch back but I love the combo to much.)

I was glad of the head size as it looks like she could take 8-9 wigs (owning SDs and a Pullip that's fine with me) but with her head being hard I don't think I'll chance removing it get rid of her hair), but yes it does look rather bobble head like.

I was unsure of mine at first as it was only after I bought her that I found out they will be doing Frankie, Draculaura and Clawdeen in 17'' too and I'm not really a pink fan, but I've managed to bond thankfully.

I was not sure that they were planning more big dolls :) Frankie and Draculaura are a MUST for me, then ^^" Clawdeen I will have to see. Waaah, all that knitting that will be done... Does any of you know when the other big dolls might be released...?
