MH: Elissabat

Back when Elissabat first appeared on shelves as part of the Frights, Camera, Action edition, for some reason, I didn't end up getting her. I did get the Operetta from that edition though.

Fast forward almost a year later and I decided that I rather liked that particular doll but unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found. She had this cool goth vibe that appealed to me but it wasn't until I actually watched the movie, Frights, Camera, Action that I decided it'd be nice to collect her.

Last weekend, I went to Toys 'r' Us to hunt for a present for my sister's two year old son and thought I'd take a quick look at the MH dolls. I couldn't see her anywhere there and was just walking away when I thought, I better check at the back. And to my surprise found the only Elissabat from that edition I had seen available in my town (by that point I had already checked all the stores that sell these dolls). I got lucky, again.

This is one of my favourite box designs for MH dolls. I often sometimes consider leaving the dolls in their boxes because well, just look at her in there. I was very tempted but I ended up taking her out of the box. I have a need to play.

Out of the box. Her dress consists of two parts, the dress itself and a jacket which is kind of like a bolero. I think she looks good with it on and off.

She came with a black stand and black brush. She also came with a logie (silver hand) and a small vinyl record (not pictured). I adore the colour of her hair which is black/purple. This is the colour I'd love to dye my  hair as if I could.

Her shoes are really detailed and gorgeous. And that face screening just works so well with that hair colour.

According to the movie, Elissabat is Draculaura's cousin and the new Queen of the Vampires. She's also a famous movie star.

I really love this photo of her. I think she is one of my favourites, definitely. Plus those hands, they are so delicate in shape. She certainly looks like royalty here.

Elissabat: I don't know if I'd make a good Queen.
Draculaura: Of course you will. Leave everything to me.

Draculaura with her new glasses. She definitely looks like a secretary now. This particular Draculaura is fast becoming my second favourite of the Draculaura dolls I have. My favourite is the Shibooya one. She's doing either butterfly or spirit fingers here...
