It feels wrong to talk about Halloween Barbies without talking about some of the pop-culture tie-in collectors Barbies that feel like they have Halloween spirit.
For example, in 2000 Barbie and Ken were Gomez and Morticia Addams in this Addams Family giftset.
This was in fact the giftset that headlined the October issue of Barbie Bazaar that year.
I love how they made Gomez Ken shorter than Barbie by having him in this exaggerated power stance.
In 2001, they revisited the vibe with The Munsters giftset, featuring Barbie and Ken as Lily and Herman Munster.
Barbie has already dressed as (fittingly, given how many witch costumes she's had over the years) Samantha from Bewitched at least twice.
The first of these in the purple box was released in 2001, while the second was released in 2010.
The costumes are extremely similar, but Barbie herself has a different face.

I am in my monster high era rn, I’m sorry.
I think some of the inconsistencies make it pretty clear that the project as is has too many objectives. The OG collection did feature 8 characters, the main goyles, in 2010. However, the project as a whole was much smaller. The dolls were only accompanied by a web series at the time, not a T.V cartoon, which used flash animation that was easier to produce. The finer details of their designs are also more complicated.
But, these issues don’t seem so bad. It’s not like The Bratz Sasha box art level bad. (Although, Clawdeen does seem more fair between some of the advertisements and the show, but this maybe due to photo quality).
Making a list if all design inconsistency. Will be updated with time
- Cleo's outfit is different in her box art and doll. In her box art she wears pants, sandals and don't have bandages on all her arm. Her doll version has a dress, boots and bandages all over her arms. Also her shade of blue varies (going from light blue in her doll version to saturated in her voice actor reveal to dark blue in her box art). Also skin color inconsistency
- Frankie's design is different in their voice actor reveal and doll. Both their hair and outfits are completely different
- Lagoona's outfit is also different in her design reveal and doll. She also have some inconsistencies with her hands (in art being blue while her doll is pink) and eyes (having brown eyes in her fabric doll, brown with blue hint in the Clawdeen music video and a sort of greyish blue in her voice actor reveal). Squale and freckles also inconsistent in voice actor reveal and doll
- Clawdeen has variation in her hair. The quantity of purple and it's saturation varies (first leak design being entirely purple and pale, voice actor reveal having some purple with a darker purple in the inside, doll have purple in different spot, Clawdeen music video is back with lighter purple all around but not the same shade as first leak). Also she loses her glasses in her coffin bean image and Clawdeen music video. Also her box art gave her a weird yellowish skin
- Torelei has short hair in her voice actor reveal and long hair in her doll
- Draculaura has a hat in her voice actor reveal but a headband in her doll version
