Hello Ghouls and Mansters,
Welcome to another blogspot moderated by me, Cleo deNile!
Clawdeen promised you some exclusive outdoor-Robecca pictures last week, and if you want to see them, please have a look at
at Facebook. there you will find them.
Instead, I will introduce you to another new member of one of our families.
Yes, it is review time again and yesss, there are two dolls to be reviewed this time.
Here are:
MONSTER FAMILY LAGOONA AND KELPIE BLUE
If you live in Germany, you can find them like Calaminthe did at Müller.
Here they are in their box, which matches the other Monster Family boxes of course.
Clawdeen already reviewd those.
On this one, you will find cute artwork of Lagoona, Kelpie and their smaller sister Ebbie Blue.
The boxes back shows the same pieces of artwork and some of the playsets of the Monster Family series.
When you open it up, you will find Lagoona and Kelpie pinned on a beach scenery background together with everything included to the box.
As you already may have guessed:
No brushes, no doll stands, no diaries.
Here are Lagoona and Kelpie freed from the box.
Each of them has nice accessories, as you will see in the single review.
Lets start reviewing Lagoona.
As Clawdeen, she is a doll without knee and elbow joints.
I will show it in detail later.
Lagoonas blonde and aqua hair is parted to one side and curled up at the bottom.
I like this hairstyle very much and also the lenght of it, but there is one minus:
While Clawdeen of the same series is nicely rooted, Lagoonas hair sadly is much thinner.
So if you want to do different hairstyles its possible you will see parts of bold head here and there.
Lagoona wears a light make-up with soft orange lipstick and light pink eyeshadow, perfect for the beach and matching her outfit.
On her head there is pinned a pair of orange glasses.
Pulling those down in front of her eyes (as shades are meant for, usually), Lagoona will not see too much because they are not that clear as sunglasses MAY should be like.
But they are nevertheless very cute and totally Lagoonas maritime style.
They are monstrous big and framed with octopus tentacles.
Lagoonas latest beachwear is a tankini.
The top has orange straps that go over the top to the bottom in a "V" shape.
The shorts have a "belt" of the same ribbon and a mesh layer in turquise.
Both have a very cute pattern with scales and sea horses in turquise, pink and black.
Lagoona is wearing matching orange beach sandals with bubble detail and comes with a beach bag that is not-so-matching in colour.
It is lime green and an open basket with scullette logo at the front.
Now to Lagoonas body.
You can move her shoulders, her upper legs and her neck.
Her body is a little asymertic to give her a cute pose together with her legs and arms.
One of those each is a little bit bent.
At this low-articulated body type of Lagoona, her fins are molded on and wrapped back to her body, which can be nice if you want to make her wear long sleeves or pants.
Also, you cannot loose the leg fins anymore.
I don't want to say this Lagoona is good or bad. Its as always a matter of taste.
She has pros and she has contras, as Clawdeen does to.
The only clear minus may be the thinly rooted hair (which does look nice nevertheless if you don't want to style her hair) and the missing translucent of her sunglasses.
Now to Kelpie Blue, Lagoonas little sister.
Kelpie was first introduced in the Monster High Boovie Great Scarrier Reef.
IT seems that since then she has grown a little bit.
At least her hair is longer then suspected.
Kelpie has the same hair colours as Lagoona, but her hair is much curlier, and she has a purple skin colour.
She is wearing a kelp shaped headband in purple which holds her wild hair back off the face and also a pair of shades.
Hers have a jelly frame and are grey.
In the boovie, Kelpie has glasses too, so I don't know if these are just shades.
Kelpie has a very cute face (gah, blurry close-up again!) with big turquise eyes, turquise eyebrows and purple freckles.
Her lips are purple as well.
And she has enourmous, but cute fin shaped ears that have a little bit darker colour then the rest of her.
Her swimsuit is asymetric with one strap in the same fabric of the rest and a thinner black one.
Printed onto the turquise, white and purple striped fabric is one big, black barbed heart with scales.
Also she has a fuchsia mesh bubble skirt which remembers of jelly fish.
Kelpie brings an orange basket with two tentacles molded on which is filled with a coffin-to-go beaker in shark shape (so cute!) and something to eat... maybe a sandwich.
It looks as if it could be parted in the middle but we tried it out, it doesn't come apart.
Sadly again a blurry pic, but here are Kelpies sandals.
Her feet are not as high as those of the regular monster size, and so her soles are a bit more flat as well.
There are starfishs molded onto the soles and the straps look like kelp or algae.
Kelpie has the same articulation as her big sister.
Her body is of course a younger type.
Her fins are molded on as well and look a little different from Lagoonas, and she has a scaly skin too, at least on her arms and legs.
Well, thank you for watching.
Over all we like this playset very much, otherwise Calaminthe wouldn't have brought it home.
What is a minus to one of you can be a plus for another one, so rate yourself, please.
Clawdeen didn't tell me what she planned to post next week, but as you know, plans can always be skipped. 😉
Everything left now is to say goodbye and wish
A majestic weekend and a royal week
💝💝💝
Cleo deNile!
