Hello everybody,
my name is Jinafire Long.
I am the daughter of the chinese dragon.
I am living for Calaminthes home for a long time, and this is how I looked like when I first came here:
It is an old picture, and this version of myself is called "New Scaremester Jinafire Long".
I never got a review back then, but now I look different, and I want to introduce my Ready-For-An-Island-Howliday-Look to you.
I hope you will love it as much as I do.
I will try to describe myself for the ones that never had a Monstert High doll in hands before.
I am:
GHOUL'S GETAWAY JINAFIRE LONG
Here, still in my box.
I am the only one of the Ghoul's Getaway series that made it into Calaminthe's home so far, so I will describe the box to you first.
At the front of the box, you can see on the right side the Monster High Logo and the Logotype with the Scullette.
On the left, there is a nice artwork of myself on a black background with a red island flower, a shell and a batwinged drink.
Under the artwork, you will find my name next to a Tiki-Mask logo, and on the very bottom, you can see that I am meant for children age 6 and up.
There is a big plastic window of course so you can see me inside.
The boxes left side repeats my name, the artwork and the Logotype.
The right side is just clear plastic.
And here is the back of the box, repeating again the artwork, just bigger.
Under the picture, you will find the name of the series - "Ghoul's Getaway" - written in several languages, right above a repeat of the MH logo.
Left to the logo you can see photos of two other ghoul's that had been part of this series.
And then, firm infearmation will follow and, at the very bottom, the adress of the MH website and the Mattel Logo.
The close-up of the other doll's picture shows that they had been Spectra Vondergeist and Meowlody, the first time without her twin sister Purrsephone.
When you open up the box, you can pull out a cardboard background display with the doll pinned on it, in this case - myself.
The background artwork is mainly red with black and a little white and shows an island scene of Tiki Island.
On the black floor, the flower/shell/drink theme repeats.
Also on the floor, on the left side, you will find two technical sketches that show how you are able to pull out my ellbow and hand joints and my tail, so it is easier to dress me.
Enough time wasted for the box.
Here I am, freeed for new adventures.
As I told you at the beginning, I am the daughter of a dragon, and as such I have a golden skin and scales on my body.
My hair mainly is jade green, with black streaks.
In this case, it has bangs and is mainly long and open at the back, and I am wearing a (plastic) bamboo crown that is island themed, as the rest of my look.
The crown is pinned to my head, but you can carefully cut of the plastic pins, of course.
Sadly, my hair had been sticky with fabric glue that came out of my head, that is a general problem you will find quite often on Mattel dolls, most of the time on the ones produced in Indonesia.
There are several ways though how to wash out that glue, but of course you will have to open up your dolls hair.
Calaminthe uses baby powder which is kneaded dryly onto my head and left there over night, then combed it out dryly complete. Afterwards she washes the hair hand warm, either with a Baby shampoo or with fabric softener.
Most of the time, the glue is gone, but sometimes, you will have to repeat the procedure onnce, twice or maybe another time before it will be completeley gone.
Fabric softener is a nice option to get soft doll hair, but Calaminthe found out that the hair colour bleaches out a bit by using it also, so be warned.
Also, don't use a hot blow-dryer to dry the hair, it is better to let it dry over night.
Well, back to the review.
On this close-up you can see my yellow and green dragon eyes.
I am wearing black masquara, and dramatic eyeshadow in purple and gold that is painted on in the shape of flames - as a dragoness, I love the flames!
My lipstick is also a dark purple.
In my ears, I am wearing purple earrings with Tiki masks that look like little dragon heads.
Over my dress, I am wearing a huge belt piece that repeats the bamboo theme of the crown. It has a suspender part with a repeat of the little mask you find on the earrings, a belt part, again with a mask at the middle, and a skirt part that is shaped like flames, maybe of a vulcano.
Also, I am wearing two bracelets repeating those motives, this time in red.
Here you can see how the belt piece can be opened at the neck and the hips. And that it is shaped to leave enough space for my dragon tail.
And here is the dress.
Its a very nice satin dress in red, chinese style. Its print repeats the motives of my accessories, there are purple Tiki-masks, golden flames and a bamboo-pattern in the background.
As you can see on the picture above, it can be opened at the back. It is closed with velcro.
And finally, there are my shoes, high heel sandals in red, repeating again the bamboo, masks and flames.
Now to my body which wasn't reviewed so far. It is the classic MH body, but it has a dragon tail at the back which can be, as I mentioned already, pulled out for changing my drersses. The tail is of course golden with scales and has a green tassel at the end.
Here is a picture of my front.
The scales repeat on my whole body, but like a lizard and crocodile my belly looks different.
I have long thin claw fingers.
And I have articulation at my neck, shoulders, ellbows and wrists, tail, hips and knees.
Not only the tail can be pulled out (very carefully, please, the joints could break out), but the ellbows and wrists as well.
Well, everything is said now about myself.
For the ones who already have some Monster high dolls: Many of them came with a brush, a doll stand and a diary.
I didn't, this had been a budget doll line.
Time to say goodbye.
I wish you a fiery weekend and a fangtastic week!
