I'm curious!<br /><br />I had no issues finding her, but I did have an issue with most of them having some kind of screw up on the face. It was a matter of finding the least bad one, honestly. That's really frustrating for me!Christina Articulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281697885130657562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-65027051640258662592015-02-17T12:50:38.404-05:002015-02-17T12:50:38.404-05:00I have her (it was an absolute pain to find her, o...I have her (it was an absolute pain to find her, our Target never put ME on the shelves and then lost a box in the back), and I like the concept more than the idea, it's mainly the belt that throws me a bit. Other than that, she's perfectly lovely, but I'm not as attached as I want to be yet.Morieris https://www.blogger.com/profile/03123585516570891266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-16988564423449890782015-02-17T09:14:00.281-05:002015-02-17T09:14:00.281-05:00She really is a gorgeous doll, and totally worth h...She really is a gorgeous doll, and totally worth having!<br /><br />I think they're pretty cute.

I'd be so sad if I lost an accessory or something like that. And yes, the hair ornament is definitely geisha inspired too, they really thought about every single item that she's wearing. The dolls where it's clear the designers really put a lot a thought into it, and where it was clearly a labour of love are always the most successful, and this is definitely an example of that!Christina Articulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281697885130657562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-70574063720492123542015-02-17T05:08:39.496-05:002015-02-17T05:08:39.496-05:00I wasn't planning on getting this Draculaura d...I wasn't planning on getting this Draculaura doll, but this review changed my mind :) She is absolutely stunning!<br /><br />Btw, what do you think of the Disney Descendants dolls by Hasbro? I like them, their faces look so Disney (if that makes any sense...) and I think I'll buy a few (or all... :D), but I'll have to see them live first before the final decision.Meow ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/11181017546141760458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976131144111931783.post-25207871724976519312015-02-16T22:10:03.263-05:002015-02-16T22:10:03.263-05:00After Sweet Screams came out I was so sure that no...After Sweet Screams came out I was so sure that no other Draculaura could top her, but Mattel pulled out the stops again. This is the most adorable Draculaura ever! I love just about everything about her. The whole outfit clicks together brilliantly; there are no extra or wasted pieces, nothing that overpowers or underwhelms. And it's such a neat design, blending past and present Japanese fashions. Like you said, it doesn't feel like a costume, but something that fits her like a glove. <br /><br />The shoes are crazy awesome too. They look kind of complicated and just a mash of zany shapes, but she stands SO well in them! I love having dolls that can balance themselves, and this is the most stable arrangment I've met yet. When I went to Japan I saw some actual geisha hair ornaments and you can clearly see where the inspiration came from for her headpiece! In fact I wanted to bring her along with me for my trip but I got so paranoid about losing her or damaging her I chickened out and left her at home. She would have made a fantastic travel companion, though.<br /><br />tl;dr I could gush about this doll all day Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558516698801771089noreply@blogger.com
