Fearbook Ghoulia arrived: unboxing and review
I adore Ghoulia. As a disabled guy whose main mobility aid is cycling and a former gifted kid that is now dumb with anxiety, I relate hard to her in the show. She just shows a whole lot of depth and her episodes have a certain lovely misty vibe.
I just can't get over how pretty she is. She's so different from her previous dolls. I have (and am using for a custom) Neon Frights Ghoulia and oof her poly hair was BAD and I was never happy with any outfit I put together. The sheer sleeves, the cherries, the red and black on this doll... She's so different from the other dolls too. The trousers are so cool. She's really giving Ghoulia but in modern fashions. And her haircut!!! So cute
"After Ghoul Activity: Skater Spotlight! Why did you join the braniacs who board club? I love zooming at the speed of fright with my scary-smart skater friends!"
Her art.... its so cute.....
This was the easiest box so far to actually get open. Ghoulia herself was easy to remove. However, the accessories were moulded too deep into the plastic. I had to use pliers, scissors and a lot of force to remove the skateboard tool especially without bending or breaking it I hope this was just an issue with my particular box and not all of them. I don't think kids would be able to do it.
The dreaded T ties are also present but they're a big issue with the plastic protecting her face from the goggles. There were 4 ties and they were really hard to remove without damaging her hair or the goggles. I got a little frustrated tbh. I think the goggles should have been packaged separately if her face needed protection that badly.
HER MAKEUP. Oh my ghoul. So zombie, so alt, so gentle. Brings out her eyes in a gore-geous way. Her hair is super soft saran, easy to adjust and style, no gel or gross textures.
Her shoes are more plain than other g3 dolls, but they work in this outfit for sure. Only thing I might change is to have her in flat platforms instead of heels, but it's not a big deal to me. Her fearbook shows her pretty art and the other members of the club: Robecca and Clawdeen. Idk if I would have chosen Clawdeen for this club, I only really remember her skating at the beginning of the first live action movie but I might be wrong. Definitely wouldn't be her thing in my headcanon AU lol. I would replace her with Barki, Howleen or even Frankie with rollerskates. I won't go on about my AU anyway.
Cute iCoffin with a video of Ghoulia skating, I didn't have a phone for Ghoulia so that's a nice addition. The belt with the skate tool is adorable and super cool. The board itself is awesome with a tombstone shape. I love that the wheels are removable so she can 'work' on it. I will probably paint the top black to emulate the grip tape.
As for the comic, idk how I feel about it. Its a cool idea but it's also a little piece of card with plain brown cardboard on the back. I sort of wish it had been folded like the sweet 1600 cards or the fearbooks.
Gaming with her Neon Frights accessories:
Her with her Neon Frights glasses and her g1 glasses. I love them both but I'm leaning toward the Neon Frights pair. They make her look sharper.
In conclusion, she's my forever Ghoulia. She adds so much to the line-up.
