Spotted Skulltimate secrets in Canada
too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. sheās based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, iām reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that sheās just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.
first, she has a face that looks like my familyās. thatās my lolaās nose. thatās my momās birthmark. shit, those are my uncleās cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.
second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a ācheap gimmickā you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldnāt they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.
while weāre on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, āwovenā sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but arenāt as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. itās a monster high doll.
most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is āwoodenā, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.
her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.
i didnāt wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if youāre gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you donāt know what youāre talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. āwinsā like this mean everything. maybe itās not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you wouldāve gone out of your way to. and thatās good enough for me.
G3 being launched really has showed me, that a lot of supposed G1 fans were never real fans of the franchise in the first place and no, I'm not talking about g1 purists bc they were never fans to begin with.
Monster High Scary Sweet Birthday

Okay, so a new Mattel trademark for River Styxx was found to be active just like last year when they trademarked "Cupid Asteria" and now we have G3!Cupid.... So does it mean that we will get River on G3 as well??
Not gonna lie, I was NOT expecting her to be brought back, specially since I'm pretty sure - but I could be wrong though, any one knows the info? - that Kiyomi Haunterly or Porter Geiss are the more popular new ghouls from the Haunted G1 movie, but I'm definitely not upset since I think she's cute (though I don't remember much of her as a character, so I might have to rewatch it)!
Given that they even brought MOUSCEDES KING back from G1 and gave her a fabulous redesign, I'm excited to see what they can do for River on G3!!
im so so glad monster high got its unabashedly trans and nb rep in while it could with characters like frankie and phoenix because there's no way in hell mattel or nick are gonna be taking chances like that again for the next 4 years
Fang Club Venus Skullector!!
She is retailed at $50.00 for Fang Club members
I think sheās gorgeous but the denim body suit is a little off-putting š I wish we had more of an outfit
What do yāall think??
I love G1 Monster High so much but itās almost comical how little Mattel knows how to cater to fans.
I saw someone else do a sketch to fix Venus, and I wanted to do one as well š
Doll is really so pretty, I donāt think a lot needs to change. But it did feel like some things were missing! Staring with a fishnet-like skirt to match the top, with similar cute frilly red bits. Plus alot more of the plastic-y vines wrapping around her, and more flowers would make this look more like a collectors doll.
Plus I think framing the face really pulls the doll together. And the flower on top of her head like the actual Venus plant. Idk, wanted to make her feel full, and get rid of all that empty space. I wish we got something more exciting
