Ghoulia x Ghoulia: The Comparison!

 

As you know, I went to visit my mum in Cleethorpes a few weeks ago and what you may have guessed is that my Monster High collection expanded somewhat whilst I was there. It was brilliant to walk in to a shop and see them on the shelf as I like to pour over them comparing who is prettier like I did when I was a little girl. It makes me feel a little silly but who cares what other people think, right? 

Anyway, my point is that I can only really find Monster High at Argos in London and in case you don't know, Argos puts all the Monster High dolls in each series under one order number so you can't choose who you are getting. You can do a customer view but you wouldn't believe the pain in the bum that is! It was an absolute delight to walk into shops and I somehow ended up with first wave Ghoulia Yhelps and Mad Science Lagoona Blue. Fantastic! I also had the SDCC Ghoulia waiting for me when I returned from my trip. I'm well and truly hooked now!

I'm going to stop rambling now as what I really wanted to show you was my Ghoulia comparison pics. I'm fairly sure their faces are slightly different shapes as the jaw line seems harsher on my SDCC version. Their lips seem a different shape too. SDCC Ghoulia also has completely different hands. I'm not just referring to the mould here, they seem a lot more realistic somehow. Owning Ghoulia twice over did feel a little excessive to me at first but having put them side by side I'm so glad I went for it. I think Ghoulia may have pipped Draculaura to the top spot in my list of favourite MH characters.

Ghoulia x Dead Fast

I doubt there are any Monster High fans out there who don't know about the San Diego Comic-Con version of Ghoulia Yelps but I only got mine t'other day so pics can't be avoided I'm afraid! First of all I want to say she is totally brilliant and I would definitely recommend getting her if you're a Monster High fan and can find her for a reasonable price. I found mine on Matty Collector for £18 which included shipping to the UK from America - ace!

As you can see she comes with quite a lot of stuff including a mini-figure of Dead Fast (my fave piece) who is her favourite Zombie super-hero and the basis for her amazing costume. The box is brilliant (but I forgot about taking pics of that, oops, sorry!) and has a bit of background info on Dead Fast and also contains a comic book. There are actually two comic books in the box, one for Ghoulia and the one I mentioned previously which is more human sized.

I love that there are two pairs of glasses included and all the other little details like the Nekro-Con lanyard, bag and metallic/transparent stand. Totally worth it for 18 quid! I am well and truly a Monster High fan now - there's no going back!
