It's really cool that their conjoined state is merely incidental to their characters, and they're good characters that have a nice design on top of it. It's a shame that you need to pull out their arms to change their clothes, though, and their possible outfits are limited to tops that open all the way down the back. I appreciate the subtle "joining" motif with their jewelry. I love details like these, and I hope to pick them up soon. I also like the huge fishy eyes with the blue pupils on all four of the new characters.<br /><br />I do have Kala, though, and she's nice. The two pairs of arms make her very expressive, and I love that she's a big girl. The belt is awful, though. No way does it need to be that tight. I'm not a huge fan of the hair, either. I'd love it to look like the thinner ponytail on her art, but the fiber defies gravity and poofs out, even after the waves were boiled out. Personal preference, though.<br />DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770023978697698553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-83123238097764888612016-05-09T18:29:31.027-04:002016-05-09T18:29:31.027-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770023978697698553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-64668428003482910662016-01-10T18:00:11.824-05:002016-01-10T18:00:11.824-05:00Kala is definitely the one to get!

I've seen some people repaint her yellow tentacles, and I think that really tones down her colour scheme a bit, and I bet painting over or removing the design on the front of her torso would go a long way to kind of bring it down a notch. I'm so hoping that we'll see more larger characters like, but I will say I am not expecting it, especially with the upcoming reboot...but, prove me wrong Monster High!Christina Articulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281697885130657562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-24723157327575988512016-01-10T16:23:10.581-05:002016-01-10T16:23:10.581-05:00Great review, Christina!

I've been on the fence about Kala, but after seeing her in more detail, she's really growing on me! I didn't care for her colors as much, but I love her torso style and I would also love it if they explored this more with other characters!

I mean, they're barely mermaids, and I mean that in a really good way! <br /><br />Peri and Pearl are slightly less steady than Kala thanks to the addition of the "knee" joint, but it's still easy enough to find a way for them to manage itChristina Articulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281697885130657562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-42830490520876082762016-01-09T16:22:29.180-05:002016-01-09T16:22:29.180-05:00I would really love to see Kala's struggle act...I would really love to see Kala's struggle actually presented well. Seeing that she's the "mean" girl but also seeing the pain behind that could be an interesting story, and also I think a very realistic one, especially for a bigger girl.

It's tricky because they are one DOLL but two CHARACTERS I think, which can be confusing. Either way, gorgeous!

I'm sad that it looks like she'll be the antagonist in the film, though they seem to have added details in her journal that imply she's acting out of pain and loneliness. I just wish the first big, thick girl wasn't the mean one? Peri and Pearl make a great doll as well, and I never thought I'd see a two-headed mermaid in ANY doll line! <br /><br />Unfortunately the color schemes on this line are too bright and flashy for me, so I won't be buying them, but I can definitely appreciate the creativity that went into them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-60875425609862029242016-01-09T01:32:36.828-05:002016-01-09T01:32:36.828-05:00I'm not into mermaids at all but I have to adm...I'm not into mermaids at all but I have to admit Peri and Pearl are awesome! Also a great tool for teaching kids about conjoined twins. It's sad that most people I've come across refer to them as a single character though. I've heard the CAM werewolf is the best body match for them because it has a shimmer.BlackKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014093330317682849noreply@blogger.com
