Thanks for letting me know about Robecca and Skelita.<br /><br />And thanks for the link to the customized CN<br />D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-42070424377310909112013-05-13T11:39:21.718-04:002013-05-13T11:39:21.718-04:00MH creators have been pretty clever with avoiding ...MH creators have been pretty clever with avoiding race-specific characters which is something I like about the line. <br /><br />Some of the characters do have nationalities and (sub)cultures which are referenced in their clothes and personalities. Robecca is English with a strong reference to Steampunk/Futurist Victorian, Jinafire is Chinese, Skelita is Hexican(Mexican) etc....<br /><br />As for Catty Noir, I love pink but yeeesh, that shade is blinding, and there sure is a lot of it. The overall quality isn't high enough to pull it off. Maybe if it was as good as this custom made one - http://drakum.deviantart.com/art/Catty-Noir-364226623Alanhttp://drdiorama.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-78963933727557425642013-05-11T16:28:08.302-04:002013-05-11T16:28:08.302-04:00Hi and thanks, Muff, Carrickters, and LimbeDolls! ...Hi and thanks, Muff, Carrickters, and LimbeDolls! I am still considering the MH dolls. Not sure if they qualify for racial and ethnic flavors ... I am puzzling over that for them and for my Takara Jenny dolls. Shrug. I did consider Clawdeen Wolf - and by extension, her younger sister - as Black-ethnic. Robecca Steam, I thought might also be considered Black-ethnic. Jinafire as Asian-ethnic ... not so sure about the others. They seem "White-ethnic" by default ....<br /><br />What do you readers think?D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-26095919284947523092013-05-10T07:37:14.798-04:002013-05-10T07:37:14.798-04:00Thanks for sharing these photos.

I will be very happy to get this doll when she hits the stores because aside from Clawdeen Wolf, there haven't been other Monster High dolls that I can see as unequivocally "black." The pink dress and hair can be removed. :-)limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-87183531327364177672013-05-10T07:32:09.455-04:002013-05-10T07:32:09.455-04:00Hmmm.

I don't know if that's good or bad, but I will say there is a doll for everyone.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.com
