I'm so glad Catty has a cute look, Clawdeen is actually eating, and Frankie's shoulder disco balls are hilarious (and the blue hair is cool). I was super dubious about this line from the prototype photos, but this is actually sick. AND THE SPECIAL COLORED HAND MOLDS?! G3 Golden Age continues...

So many new dolls leaks today!!! I can’t decide who I like best😭

I think Nefera looks the best…but this new Clawdeen has such versatile accessories and beautiful makeup! I like Catty and Frankie too…but I think I’ll have to see them in box/photos beyond stock images before I decide who to buy

Def getting Catty at least. My ghoul needs more in her wardrobe!

Chappell Roan songs sound like the monster high soundtrack omg

Please tell me I’m not the only one who saw the new Skulltimate Secrets art and thinks their outfits look really fricken awful??? Hopefully they look better in reality but the only thing I’m really happy about this line is clawdeen (seemingly) having no purple hair for once this generation

I kind of agree. But I'm holding off on saying much until I see the dolls themselves. From what I can see, I like some things individually, but not together.

On the box art Clawdeen and Catty have their jackets on only one of their arms...I can't tell if its just to show off their full length gloves, or if their jackets really only have one sleeve lol. I really hope its the former.

And even if one outfit is bad, there's always hope for the second. I will say I am a little bothered that all 3 ghouls outfits are all seemingly pretty similar again, just like with SS4 and 5. I understand wanting them to look cohesive, but I feel like it kinda discourages consumers from buying all 3 if they're just gonna wear the same thing, not to mention takes away from the characters individuality.

And tbh the only thing I was really curious about with this line was how they'd do Clawdeen and Catty's hair. Clawdeen's is cute enough, glad to see some curls, but Catty's is disappointing. Still, I'd rather her have fully straight hair then a few random micro braids.

I just realized that with the amount of chains Clawdeen has on here, it looks like she's ready to pitty fools.

Frights, Camera, Action! – Hauntlywood Honey Swamp Doll (2013)

[littlemissviart]

Viperine Gorgon is Elissabat’s personal makeup artist and one of the best in the business! As a Gorgon she may look intimidating but she really is kind and humble despite working in the heights of Hauntlywood. I really wanted to push the snake like features compared to her original design and doing the scale patterns was why I added her to the lineup!

SS6 HAUNTLYWOOD 🌃

some early leaks!

Release Date is allegedly April 1st, 2025

Overall im so happy that we’re getting another catty doll!

☠️🩷

bit surprised to see no draculaura LMAO

If we didn’t get these 3 who else would y’all think would be great for this line??

or imagine this wasn’t a skulltimate secrets but just a regular themed one(like monster fest) and we got some new character core dolls…

Honeyswamp, elissabat, or even viperine!? one of them wouldve been suffice😩

[teatime-tangents-and-toys]

I would refrain from viewing this as a G3 problem. Even in G1, there were frequent tertiary colors added later to a doll's palette that were never necessary. I thought Robecca looked better before purple. Toralei was better before turquoise. Operetta was way better before she got more pinkified. I know yellow with Draculaura was also controversial, but I'll break away and say I liked it. And Avea Trotter and Jane Boolittle's palettes were pure toy fantasy with zero plausible grounding or much harmony. What's disappointing to me about G3 Nefera is that her signature release already has so much distracting purple rather than it being added later in her doll run, but it isn't a new issue. Hauntlywood Frankie is a mess and Catty and blue still fail to work, but only early G1 can be left out of this discussion. Distracting color choices have been with us.

The latest G3 leaks pretty much sum up what I find annoying about G3 designs, they are really pretty, but there's gotta be that one color/texture that ruins the overall harmony for me.

Recap of recent-ish Mattel events that could mean nothing but also sound like weird coincidences if you look at them together

2022-2024: aired yet another Monster High reboot where, among other things, the existence of a "mirror world" is implied and Clawdeen is called a "rebel" for changing were-ruler traditions;

January: had songs released to the Ever After High Spotify channel that were possibly made with AI but that Mattel (to my knowledge) never made an official comment about, even after they got removed;

July 1st: filed for renewal of the Ever After High trademark, which again could mean nothing as it's not an uncommon commercial practice to keep legal rights over things, but is still funny in this context;

July 23rd: filed for the trademark of doll-adjacent products Hauntlywood Mysteries and Cupid Asteria AT THE SAME TIME, which only suggests CA Cupid (with a rebooted name) might be coming to Monster High G3 (possibly in another Skulltimate Secrets instalment, given the line name?), but you have to admit that it would be weird to bring back the one character that was in both MH and EAH without at least referencing this duality, especially considering they are NOT lacking in characters fans have begged for the return of.

Once again, this doesn't prove ANYTHING and is, at best, circumstantial evidence or whatever, but let me be entrenched in my brainrot at least until the end of summer, please (also let me know if I forgot something lmao) 🙃

Imagine being a new and upcoming actress and being in a movie with Elissabat

You were probably getting strange looks as you walked through the set with a curious and starry-eyed look but you couldn't help. You had always dreamed of going to Hauntlywood and becoming an actress. Though it took a while - such as many roles as a background actor and minor character - you were finally given the chance to be one of the leads in a very anticipated book-to-movie adaptation.

But it also made you realize how out of your depth you were. You had never been in a high production set before in such an important role. Your usual roles weren't anything big which meant there were never any big shoes to fill. But with how popular the book and its characters were, you were beginning to feel anxious about the pressure that was being placed on your shoulders by both the studio and the fans.

Taking a seat on the first chair you spotted, you took a deep breath as you tried to calm yourself. Holding your head in your hands, you breathed in and out, trying to slow down your rapidly beating heart. Stuck inside your head, you didn't notice someone had made their way toward you until you felt their hand on your shoulders and heard someone say: "Are you okay? Do you need me to get you something?"

Shaking your head, you looked up, wanting to thank the person for checking up on you but you let out a gasp as you noticed who it was. "Elissabat."

The Hauntlywood Mysteries hand sculpts are so nice... I can't wait to see how they look with a little extra paint once people get a hold of them.
