You’ve seen the fashion dolls: Barbies and Bratz and countless carbon copies of ‘hip’ and ‘trendy’ dolls. If your daughter loves these types of dolls, but she wants something a little more fun and original, then you should check out the Monster High Cleo DeNile and Deuce Gorgon Doll Set. These Mattel dolls are part of the exclusive and gothic Monster High collection, with figures in the style of horror movies and placing them in a cute and modern high school setting. They come with their own cool fashion trends with a monster twist, and they also come with their own pets like rats and snakes. Somehow they manage to cross the gap, being scary-themed but still cute.
Cleo DeNile is the daughter of the Mummy and hers is the fashion leader of the school. She wears an Egyptian princess-themed outfit, complete with bandages and bold gold jewelry. Her pet is Hisette, the snake, and she loves it. Another person she loves is her boyfriend Deuce Gorgon, whose mother is the famous and deadly jellyfish. He inherited the special power from him, so she wears sunglasses to avoid turning his friends to stone, although, being young, luckily if she turns someone to stone, the effects wear off after 24 hours. Her pet is Perseus the rat. Deuce is dressed in snakeskin-print clothing and a hip-length jacket.
Both dolls come in a package together, which is adorable, and they come with journals and display cases, which are perfect if you plan on collecting and displaying them properly. The multiple uses of the set and collection mean they can appeal to a very wide age range of girls above and beyond the 6-year-old recommendation. You can even collect more, like Frankie Stein, the daughter of Frankenstein or Draculaura, daughter of Dracula. There are even Monster High books, yearbooks (or ‘scary books’), journals, tote bags and more available.
The main feature of these, apart from their cute originality, is the incredible attention to detail in their outfits. These are truly little works of art and are already a hit with older doll collectors and little girls alike. They will be a perfect gift.
