Monster High: Lagoona and Twyla

I purchased these dolls about two weeks ago but haven't really posted them here until now. One of the toy stores that were closing down re-opened under new management and I picked up these two girls for a very big discounted price during their re-opening sale.

I think the appeal of these dolls for me is buying them off the shelf and having them straight away. It's been nice to be able to get dolls like this as I've never been able to until now. It's a nice change of pace.

I love Monster High box art. They always put eye catching designs on them. I purchased Lagoona Blue from the Monster Exchange line and Twyla from the Haunted line.

We'll start with Lagoona.

She is the daughter of the Sea Monster and in the webisodes and movies, she's portrayed as being from "Down Under" with a distinctly Australian accent. It's hard not to see why I wanted a Lagoona in my collection however I've not been really taken with a lot of the releases of her until this line came out. That hair was just so gorgeous and I really liked the face screening on her.

Let's start with her shoes. They are a lovely black colour with a pink rose and remind me of bubbles. Her black headpiece is a rose and her "crown" reminds me a little of coral. She is also wearing pink earrings shaped like an octopus. Her handbag is functional and beautifully designed. I love her outfit. It's a one piece with extra frill skirt parts and a tiny little jacket.

Twyla is the daughter of the Boogeyman. I've only really seen one webisode with her in it so far and I simply love her house. She's also in the Haunted movie and I think 13 Wishes. Like all the Haunted dolls, she has a similar face screening but in a different colour. I love the translucency of her skin.

From what I can tell, her character seems to be the fairly quiet, keep to herself kind but seems pretty intelligent and knowledgeable.

She comes with a gorgeous little headband and a blue bracelet which I still have no idea what it is but my Haunted Draculaura also came with the same bracelet. Her shoes remind me of some sort of gel and is possibly one of my favourite shoes. Her outfit is a simple one piece dress with a chain style belt.

Her hair is my favourite part of her. I really love this colouring.

I'm happy that I decided to buy these two girls. They fit nicely with my growing collection.
