It’s more than just the bangs right? Indonesia vs China variants

Fearidescent Review:

Okay so I was really looking forward to this line up even more than the first Skulltimate Secret but ultimately I have some small qualms with the dolls as much as I do love them.

First off I think some of the stock photos for Fearidescent were very misleading compared to the dolls in real life I find this the case with Clawdeen and Draculaura in particular. The dolls in person don't have hair as neatly laid or bangs cut as nicely as the stock photos, the earrings on all the dolls slants out to the sides instead of straight down, and I think Clawdeen had the most deceptive stock photo vs real life her hair appears much shorter and curled in the stock photos but in person the doll has long mostly straight purple hair with curls at the bottom additionally Idk what it is but Draculaura's face in her stock photo vs reality looks so different to me. Basically this is what kind of hurt the line for me some of them were really giving Expectation vs Reality in doll form lol

Then some of the fashions just came off to me as really uninspired or repetitive considering people are paying $30 dollars plus tax for these dolls which is roughly $150 and up if you choose to purchase the whole line.

So with that in mind I didn't like:

Clawdeen getting all these corny wolf print shirts they're hard for me to style and for a fashionista I would like to see trendier experimental clothes for Clawdeen

The dolls limbs are on way too tight so popping their arms off to change their clothes is difficult for me and I'm worried I may break the joints holding the arms and hands together each time

Seeing that Draculaura's maryjanes have been reused from the budget day out doll and are just recolored sparkly pink

Cleo's yellow iridescent shorts they're just not it I feel like they should have used a turquoise or jade green for Cleo and made it a mummy wrap skirt because these are not flattering at all it almost looks like an oversized raincoat diaper to me.

It lowkey bothered me how Lagoona's skirt color doesn't match either of her shirts at all.

Despite all those nitpicks I actually mostly liked this line and I would give it a 7 out of 10. I really loved the jewelry on all of the dolls, their little ice creams, their hand bags were all cool and unique, and the glitter makeup was gorgeous, and I really liked the shoes too. Out of the 5 though I would say Lagoona was my favorite I think that her doll was just absolutely stunning from her makeup down to her shoes I loved the mermaid fantasy it was giving for me ♡. Imo I think Lagoona was the best one, Clawdeen was my second favorite, Cleo I loved but I wasn't feeling the gold lipstick and shorts, Frankie has potential but was a little plain for me personally I didn't like the goofy statue of liberty lookin crown or the plain second outfit, and Draculaura had cute clothes and I loved the pastel pink hair but I think her face would have looked so much better in the chinese variant like the first skulltimate doll.

We find it interesting how our Wave One Draculaura looks a bit different from others, at least to us. For a long time, we were super confused on this.

For context, this is her! We call her Fangs. Her face was a little shiny at the time because we had applied matte varnish in order to keep it from chipping.

Somewhat recently, we actually found out why, and it made us feel a little silly. It's because she's an Indonesian factory variant! We kind of forgot about that after getting her, and every Wave One Draculaura we saw for awhile was the Chinese factory variant. (To be fair, she also has a little wonk to her.)

She's our current favorite doll and we wouldn't trade her for the world.

Ordered a Draculaura from Amazon to cusomize and recieved the Indonesian variant

figured we could do some spot the difference,

left- indonesan variant, right - chinese variant

the biggest difference is clearly the factory paint, but i also noticed

indonesian drac feels a bit cheaper and came with messier hair in-box (i tried styling my chinese one and messed up so she looks a lil rough, shut it 💀)

indonesian drac had pinker skin, hair and heels, but chinese drac has a pinker headband and cup

indonesian drac has shorter socks with weird bands to hold up better, a larger shirt bow, a thicker crop top, and larger shirt ruffles

count fabulous is a bit more saturated in the indonsian variant

indonesian drac's phone is a bit of a deeper pink

indonesian drac's necklace is sculpted a little bit better

indonesian drac has weirdy detailed toes?? i dont want to think about that one too long💀

even though she feels a little cheaper to me, i think i prefer indonesian drac and will customize the chinese variant

I was looking at pictures on instagram of Indonesia variants vs Chinese variants of Monster High G3 dolls and…

Some Clawdeens seem to have darker skin? Not sure what variant they are but it’s especially noticeable with the Creepover Clawdeens vs the core Clawdeens.

Draculaura’s skin color also seems very slightly warmer on the Indonesia variant of the dolls.

I haven’t seen other variants yet so I’m curious to see if the skin tones also vary on the other Ghouls like this.

Hi Sam! Hope you don't mind the ask but this in relation to the Draculaura signature comparison and why mine looked so off- it turns out that even the wave ones have Chinese and Indonesian factory variants and mine just so happens to be the Indonesia one ^^ . I found out because someone on tiktok also had the Indonesian variant. Again hope you don't mind me sending the ask, I thought of doing this instead of mentioning you in a random post shsg /lh

hello!!! i don't mind the ask at all!

and that is interesting! it definitely explains why theres so much variation with wave 1 draculauras, idk why i never considered the chinese vs indonesian factories before lmao, but yeah, definitely explains the difference!
