Monster High Gore-geous Ghoul Beast Freaky Friend: Sally
I thought the 17″ (38cm) Frightfully Tall Ghoul line of Monster High dolls were the tallest Monster High dolls. I was wrong.
I am new to dolls and much of what I know comes from getting a doll that’s been through some rough time and then Googling to figure out WTF I have.
I know that the Monster High Voltageous dolls are 28″ (71cm) because I have one now. It came in THE BOX OF DOLLS.
Meet my new Gore-geous Ghoul Beast Freaky Friend (Green).
She originally came with attachable wings, extra webbed hands, shoe covers, multiple glasses and headbands, a dress, and…AN EXTRA FLESH FACE SHE CAN WEAR OVER HER ORIGINAL FACE.
It just pops right on!
Thanks to Gina, I now have:
Her. She comes with shoes that are not meant to come off, a dress, and no hands.
Her eye gimick works, you click a button on the back of her head and her eyes change to three different options. The white is “in between”
A child has also added glitter to her eyelids.
Her hair was a little sparse but I couldn’t get the scalp off and it was the right color for…SALLY
No hands was a drawback but I figured I could hunt for some or sculpt my own…because WHY NOT sculpt jointed hands.
In removing her face I came close to destroying her.
I started with Acetone (which melts this sort of plastic) and then caught my error and continued with paint thinner and sand paper.
I also started experimenting with carving.
And then her eyes rolled back into her skull. A section of old plastic snapped…rollllll.
I was unable to get to her eyes. The plastic held a section of the gimick in place inside her skull.
So….with a thin hacksaw and some prying I TOOK HER SKULL OFF.
My reasoning being that:
I could always re-attach it.
I could widen her eye holes more for better Sally proportions.
I could add hair to the scalp before replacing it.
It was free.
Why not?
Tonight I’ll experiment with carving her body and preparing to add resin epoxy strings.
New Normal, folks
