They're here! Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
Okay, so I don't actually have any strong feelings about these two as a couple, but I love the MH boy dolls, and these two look fantastic. Plus, I love gay people. I am a gay people even. So of course I'm always here for gay dolls. Even if mattel released this set with the energy of a homophope running for democratic office.
I find it really funny they went back to the Wave 1 aesthetics for this set.
Valentine wasn't introduced until around wave 4, and by the time Spelldon was mentioned, they were using the plastic clamshell boxes.
If they had gotten a set before g1 ended, the packaging would not have been this lmao. Much less would they have gotten colorful stands or the cute little quote.
I like it, but it feels a bit revisionist too.
As for the dolls, I don't have much to say. They just so good!
I love how quality and detailed they are, that Valentine's shirt, vest and collar are all separate pieces. Their screenings are great, the accessories are nicely detailed, and they even have diaries!
I haven't read them yet, but that inclusion makes me so happy.
I've always has a fondness for the MH boys, and they continue to be some of the best boy dolls ever made for a playline.
Thank you to the MH designers, who I know had to hold mattel at gun point to get these made. They're wonderful.
