  • Monster High Reboot explained! Why did the monster high dolls change in 2016? Is Monster High canceled? How Ever After High, Bratz, and Disney Princess lead to these changes - and what we can expect from Monster High in the future! I’ve been collecting MH since 2010 when the doll line initially released and I’d consider myself a DIE hard stan! Hopefully, this video clears up a lot of questions!

    I hope you enjoyed todays video! I spent a lot of time researching & gathering RECEIPTS so leaving a like & subscribing is appreciated! Do you think that Monster High would come back with the reboot dolls, the classic dolls, or something else?! I think with the popularity of e-boy/e-girl Monster High could definitely style around the trend of black, plaid, harnesses and chains (much like they always have). Lmk what you think and what you hope to see!

      @frostfang1 4 года назад +265

      Yea I've heard a lot of girls say they would compare themselves to barbie but I never understood that. I never did. She was clearly a doll with the way she was molded. Honestly MH dolls are more "realistic" in my mind because they are more "organic" in the way their bodies flow, even if the proportions are more incorrect. And part of that is that they can bend more but the other part is just the design od each piece. They look more "normal" naked than 90s barbie did. She had almost a literal hour glass figure, like what a corset does, so the clothes looked good on her. It looked more like a playboy bunnies body than most womens bodies.
      And I think another thing was that I wanted to be tall and willowy with dark brown hair(or blue), and barbie wasnt that. And I've never been that (except the blue hair).

    "Be yourself, be unique" that was the message Monster High was spreading. Telling kids it's okay to be different. The show had the main girls help new ghouls and mansters accept their differences and help them feel welcome at Monster High. Heck, they weren't even friends at the start. They themselves had to overcome their differences and become the awesome friends they are now. Totally trashed that message with the reboot.

      Yeah. It was a little cliche with the message but I was impressed with the delivery. You know how at times they write for a younger demographic and just toss out crap because they're young kids, but they actually did rather well.
      Can't remember the name of the Valentine's day one I think it was "why do ghouls fall in love" I was deeply impressed that they actually pointed out the differences between love and romantics (which Disney had been guilty of conflating with love for awhile). Sad to see that change.

And fans of Digimon always say that the evil, demonic, undead, mutated, or cybernetic ones tend to have cooler designs, and that's part of the charm. If this were to happen to Digimon as well, then say goodbye to fan favorites like Beelzemon, Mephistomon, and Kimeramon.

    Monster High was not inappropriate or scary. They’re dolls that are monsters they are not supposed to be realistic? And if your kid is scared of them simply don’t buy them. If they had not done the reboot they would have continued to make great sales. I played with these from when I was about 7 and I was not scared at all. Doesn’t make sense, they should bring them back with the old design. They’d make lots of money off of teenagers who played with them as kids and collectors alone.

      I feel like the advertising really messed with how people saw the dolls. When I first saw the commercials as a little little kid upon the dolls original release, I automatically assumed that I was too young for them. But when we saw them in stores, it was completely different. They didn't look scary or overly mature, so we bought some. Then I started getting into the webisodes and realized that the actual style and tone of the brand were completely different from the advertising. Though I think the advertising may have stayed a problem even as it changed, because even when it was very different from its original advertising, they still kind of tried to stick with the whole dark and scary lighting kind of thing. Which I guess made parents believed that the dolls were too scary or mature for their kids.

    The whole thing about monster high is that they were weird and strange-looking, but they were beautiful and cool anyway. It was good for little girl's self-esteem. The reboot threw that idea out the window and made them all stereotypically pretty. Mattel ruined their own franchise by changing what made the dolls unique and popular. And they got rid of some damn good characters, like Clawd and Jackson and Holt. Speaking of which, I will drag these boys back into the reboot if I have to die trying.

Now my goddaughter has all my monster high dolls (shes 3 and finds them scary) but in a few years she might find some of them cool. Shes kinda lovin sylvainian families. But anyway thoses dolls made by childhood, so many memories of me and my best friend playing with them. They completely ruined the franchise with the reboot.

    It's honestly disappointing for me. I'm a boy, and when I was younger when Monster High was becoming a big thing I loved it but my parents were still in the whole "That's just for girls, you can't have that" mindset. Now I'm older and I can finally be myself and they accept me but Monster High is so budgeted and cheap that to get any of the old good stuff you have to pay a lot more. I'm hoping to get Skulltimate Roller Maze Operetta soon though.

      I can kind of see where thier coming from I mean children like to dress as thier favorite characters. Most of the audience for shows about high schoolers is younger kids who want to be like them. Quite a few parents make adaptations to certain costumes that to a teen is fine but to a 5 year old kid....yikes.
      worst case I can think of was a black and white Shirley temple short) this was not just costumes but a shirley temple short where they had toddlers wearing burlesque costumes and doing a plot line that could easily be part of an adult romance section. (Girl goes to big city either has to work at the club/higher end pub as a performer or marry the older owner. (Guy who goes after any girl he sees despite saying he's in love with one girl) She is saved by her country boyfriend.) not only is it uncomfortable it also makes me wonder why it was ever made. True I would never wear most of the outfits monster high girls wear but then again I dress old fashioned. However unlike them (those who complained about this) I've learned long ago my idea of modesty in clothing is not shared by everyone. How people dress is up to them. I might not be comfortable in such an outfit but it's not me wearing it. This is true in real life but also with dolls. Makes sense that dolls based on high schoolers have clothing that high schoolers would wear. Seriously theirs dolls that are worse out thier that over sexualize something that is branded as a kids toy. Why pick on monster high dolls?

    This idea that little girls compare themselves to Barbie I think is rediculous. I played with Barbie dolls, I played with bratz dolls, I played with mh dolls and none of my self esteem problems came from playing with them, itbcame from the constant bullying I faced and which no adult in my life was willing to protect me from or even try to help. Adults like to blame kids’ problems on things adults don’t like so they don’t have to do any actual work. I liked bratz and mh dolls because they were weird and different and had a certain attitude. It never occurred to me, a child, that the dolls were “too sexy”.

      SkyrimBarbie True. And besides, parents buy the dolls so if they felt their child specifically has self esteem issues that was their responsibility to buy certain products for them. Not many adults have conversations with their kids about their bodies. With the internet, it’s easy for kids and teens to get information and false information too. I know my mom only told me “boys have this part and girls have this one.” Yet I could have Barbie, Bratz, and MH. So some parents just don’t like talking about anything difficult.

      I love the team over at Mattel, I think they have some insanely creative concepts and visions - but I have noticed a trend where Barbie is always their priority, so if something is interfering with Barbie sales, they WILL prioritize Barbie over it. I think given Barbie is such a staple to Mattel, and is the longest-running fashion doll in existence it makes sense - however - seeing as their profits are lower than they've ever been, I think it's time for a renaissance.

      It truly is only because parents complain. Parents not only complained about monster high being either "to slutty" or "to scary" they also complained about barbie dolls being to skinny, so they released plus sized versions, (which i could see why because everyone is beautiful on the inside and out) what i'm really waiting for rn is for parents to go after LOL dolls because unlike monster high and bratz dolls who were teenagers and represented teen fashion trends of the era, while LOL dolls are literal babies dressed like hookers. These karens need to go complain to the manager and stop ruining moments for children to just have fun.

    Regardless of them "keeping up with the trends" the reason why we all love Monster High was because they look like no other doll. so what is the point of Monster High keeping up with the trends when we loved it because it wasn't keeping up with the trends of fashion. It was emo/goth/scene fantasy for every weird kid out there. Makes no sense to make the dolls look more childish when the dolls were created for an older crowd anyway. Them trying to win the love over people who didn't like the toy anyway backfired horribly because the true fans who love them for what they were don't even want them now

    • @niabelizaire3596
      @niabelizaire3596 2 месяца назад

      I was four years old when Monster High first came out and I remember seeing their early commercials on TV. Then, I watched the New Ghoul @ School special on Nickelodeon and that’s how I fell in love with the entire franchise. I was a religious watcher of the MH webisodes and owned many of their DVDs and other products (I think I might’ve owned a Monster High backpack at one point). While they weren’t conventionally attractive in comparison to Barbie dolls, I found the Monster High dolls to be pretty in a monstrous way. The number-one reason why I started playing with Monster High dolls in the first place was because they were fashion dolls (and I was mainly into fashion dolls because of Barbie), but the second reason why I started playing with Monster High dolls was because I loved the brand’s overall message about being yourself, embracing your flaws and differences. My first MH doll was a Skull Shores Lagoona Blue, my second and third MH dolls were two Clawdeens: one was a Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love doll and the other was a Dead Tired Wave 2 doll (my mom bought me those for Christmas). I lost interest in Monster High when Mattel rebooted the brand in 2016, and stopped watching the movies as well as buying the dolls. While I do understand that you have to keep up with the times and that trends change, I didn’t like (and still don’t like) the way that the current MH dolls look: in contrast to the ordinary bombshell looks of Barbie, the original Monster High dolls were a lot more edgy and gothic, and instead of keeping that dark and punk aesthetic that’s been synonymous with the brand since it’s debut in the early 2010s, not only did Mattel change the face sculpts of the MH dolls by giving them round yet childlike eyes to appeal to a younger demographic (thanks to sensitive ass parents complaining about how “scary” the dolls looked in the past), but they overall cheapened the dolls by giving them low-quality clothes. In addition, G1 MH dolls looked a lot more mature and mysterious than their G2 and G3 counterparts. I was never scared of Monster High dolls and my mother never complained about them (and she continued buying them for me). I may be a Barbie fan for life, however, I will always be a Monster High fan as well and I will buy the Skullector and Creeproduction dolls in the future! 💯🩷💜🖤

Monster High gave me hope that other people would accept her and myself. I am so disappointed that they took away that message from the new generation that truly needs it.

I'm part of a spooky family. My dad's kind of punk/gothabilly, my mom is constantly mistaken for a vampire, and I was raised on horror movies, goth culture, and year-round Halloweeny-ness. I genuinely love that stuff, but I also spent a lot of time wishing I was "normal," when my only idea of what "normal" meant was what TV, movies, and dolls told me. So to see something like Monster High was really cool.

    What the creators and parents missed was the dolls were never about body proportions and self image. I never looked at a monster high doll expecting to be one as a child. It was about the freaky fashion, awesome and exaggerated makeup, and fun characters. But most of all it was about imagination. Dolls are an escape to places you can’t reach and styles you don’t wear. Monster high dolls always gave an amazing message and if adults cared they would have known that. Monster high’s entire brand was embracing life freaky flaws and all. What was an inspiring collection of fun dolls and movies became some blue barbies. The factor that set barbie and monster high apart was the fashion and audience. If the parents wanted vanilla dolls there is a wide variety of barbies however they decided to come after the one and only monster high. The dolls were unique not only for the fashion but because they weren’t boring and regular they were wild. I loved them because I wasn’t looking for a boring barbie I wanted a goth monster high doll. I wanted a doll to be what I couldn’t be. Monster high designers and fans deserved a high quality line but instead got a downgrade. However there is a way to solve this. If there was Monster High and Ever After High crossover all would be restored. The movie would provide a positive message as well as a an amazing story line. It would be a great promotion for new dolls and new freaky fashion. They could use this to release new MH dolls as well as draw the EAH fandom back and make an new line with new dolls. They could use this to bring not only one but two of their biggest sellers back on the market. These dolls aren’t a made for ages 7 and under so a choking hazard symbol puts the responsibility on the caretakers. Remember parents, the toys you buy for your kids are not the brand’s responsibility. If you bought the toy you also need to make sure it’s safe. It’s extremely selfish for you to ask a brand to change their dolls for an entirely new audience.

    Monster high dolls where my favorite dolls when I was little and they still are. Even my older sister was a fan of these dolls. Between me and my sister we had tons of these dolls, as well as some ever after high dolls. We where a fan of the ghoulish designs of the characters, my favorite was a Spectra doll. My sister liked the dolls because of their edgy fashion and monster elements. I liked them because of their friendly but spooky aura and beautiful sculpt. We loved the movies and followed the storyline. The monster high dolls really helped both me and my sister when we where both struggling with feeling like we where different than the other kids. It was so different from Barbie and was so inspiring with the message of the dolls. When me and my sister saw the reboot images we where so disappointed at the lack of quality and love in the dolls. It was like all of them just lost what made monster high monster high. We both desperately hope that the original dolls come back on shelves.

I cared about how much I loved her character and wanting to expand my own version of monsters high ( like the actual school). It make me sad that they got screwed over. My little sister even said the new monster high dolls are cheap.
    And they cost the line trying to change the theme song.

      The new dolls look oddly disturbing compared to the cute and familiar looks of the old ones. Like how do they manage when trying to make something more child friendly and wholesome to make it look freaky and scary

    They could have just created new monster characters, preferably little sisters, cousins and even foreign exchange students for younger kids it would make sense for the new design with the big doe eyes and less makeup, brighter colors and the older characters would be fine as they were.

      I really like that idea. I think a collection of middle school/elementary aged dolls for HM would be really cool. They could even could even play it off of one of Clawdeen's young siblings or maybe Frankie could have a younger sister 'made,' rather than aging the main cast down.

      I don't get why parents who thought Monster High was so scary couldn't have just bought their kids Ever After High or Enchantimals dolls instead? Especially Enchantimals that are actually aimed at a younger audience.
      But yes, I absolutely agree! A middle school spin off would have been perfect!

And blame a company for making a product that is CLEARLY for an older demographic. Seriously, just tell your kids that they can get a Monster high doll when they are a tad bit older and until then, you can have any doll from these other brands.😋

    The whole point of monster high was to except your freaky flaws and being unique is good. Now the dolls are all the same basic faces with no creativity. I remember when the dolls and the accessories were so detailed and creative, there was never the same thing over and over. If monster high released new dolls and accessories the concept was new. Now it’s the same plain faces that have no articulation or creativity. I really miss the old monster high.

    I started buying monster high for my daughter when she was 2 because she had a peanut allergy and I wanted to get her something to keep her included in to the whole trick or treating. She would trade her peanut candy for a toy. I wanted something Halloween related and these dolls were not scary but still Halloween like. She fell in love with them!! So we had monster hunting parties every time a new movie came out. Needless to say we have a lot lol. When they rebooted the series we were very put off. Bring back the originals 💕

  • @andreas.222

    I remember I had a friend with a medium sized scar in her face, you needed to be kinda close to her to notice it but she was hella self-conscious even tho the kids never said nothing about it, they were pretty nice, but she always was covering it with her hand or scarf or anything at all, then Monster High came out and little girls were obsessed with them. So my friend saw how people loved Frankie Stein (and obviously the others lol ) and unconsciously she became more confident about it, even she said stuff like she would dress up as her and so on. The dolls never made me feel something like that but I was happy that she was happy :')

      They could do an ‘early years’ spin off with the characters as kids instead of preteens or teens. When they did the bratz as babies oh god that stuff was awesome. I still have baby version of the twins in a toy box i have saved in my closet. They could have kept making normal monster high and just had different levels of them honestly so the line could pander to everyone at a more personal fit.

When I saw they rebooted with a horrible downgrade, I was SO disappointed. Although I was too old to play with dolls by the time they rebooted, they really did my girls dirty like that :(
