Family Sets and the Clawd/Clawdeen 2 pack

Apparently Draculaura, Clawdeen & Lagoona have been given extra sisters for some reason:

I'm more surprised that Draculaura has a sister than anything else (Who should have been Fangalina) (and apparently Howleen's been .... )

But hey, Kelpie...... and Ebbie. So maybe Howleen is still there somewhere.

[Rhana]

Don't tell me they removed Howleen as well. D:

[8BrickMario]

Mattel, you're not sounding very convincing with that "nobody's gone" promise...I wonder if Kelpie is actually gonna look like her GSR design or if it's just gonna be a borrowed name, like Moanica.

Clawd also seems to be non-existent as of now, right? I want De Nile sisterpack. If Nefera still exists, that is.

[Carrehz]

I think what's throwing me off the most about this is that Draculaura suddenly has a sister. It was weird enough when they suddenly said Lagoona had siblings back in GSR (tho I don't really have a problem with it, to clarify; it at least seemed plausible for her to have siblings that just never got mentioned before, if that makes sense), but Draculaura having a little sister is a bit... ehhh....

I do wonder where Howleen's gone to. I hope they haven't gotten rid of her.. these seem like younger chars than the established "little sister" chars (Howleen, Twyla etc) so maybe that's why she's not in this line. (I hope so!)

I'm cautiously optimistic about these, anyway.. they sound interesting and it'll be great to get some more body types at last, but also it's post-reboot and so far I haven't liked most of the newer dolls, so.. we'll see, I guess. I hope photos are released soon ^^

[Morieris]

Actually how do we know that Paula and Ebbie aren't Clawdeen and Lagoona's parents.

[Claire85]

...Draculaura totally only got a sister so she could be part of yet another line.. Pretty much.

It kind of makes sense for Clawdeen, because wolf pups. But it makes me nervous for her canon siblings.
None have made an appearance yet I believe..

[ReversedUser]

Well that explains what those trademarks were for. How tall is 5.5 inches anyway? Is that Kelly size?

[Ameyal]

It makes me sad for Howleen and Clawd(I'm still hoping they are living with their dad) but on the other hand... Hey, LITTLE BROTHERS!!!!(little sisters too, but I'm "meh")

Didn't Draculaura got a stepmom in one of the books? Maybe she now has a step sister, or they adopted another young vampire...

It is weird that lagoona an clawdeen and with gheir siblings and draculaura is not, unless the description is wrong

Actually how do we know that Paula and Ebbie aren't Clawdeen and Lagoona's parents.

The link says they're 5.5" so tnat's not likely...

Kelly is about 4 inches, so more like Chelsea... either way, is about waist size of a MH

Yep.  The description reads, "Meet the younger siblings of Monster High!  Designed in small scale (5.5 inches) with a new form factor, they come with a themed piece count that helps to tell fun family stories.  The younger sibling of Clawdeen Wolf/Draculaura/Lagoona Blue doll.  Monsterrific details indicate a younger age."

I'm excited to see these, especially considering how little they are!  Little monster children!

Nerves here too. But I'm holding out on Mattel's promise still. Holding out really, really hard.

[dfotw]

"Monsterrific details indicate a younger age, like bat wings and larger bat ears for the young daughter of a vampire..." - The bat ears sound like an interesting detail, I wonder if these can be rebodied.

[Wuvmykitties]

Mattel, you're not sounding very convincing with that "nobody's gone" promise..

I agree.  That is why I do not listen to them.  And why I doubt that Spectra, Ghoulia, Howleen or Clawd will be back.

My main concerns are:  being that these siblings are only 5.5", does this mean they'll be unarticulated?
Not trying to be pessimistic, but I hope this doesn't also mean the main ghouls will be unarticulated too.

On the plus side, Clawdeen's little sister will have "a fluffy tail and paws for the young daughter of a werewolf "

How they can remove some character are beyond me...
Ghoulia, one of the main six Ghouls and Cleo's BEST friend
Spectra, our beloved Ghostly Gossip
Clawd, Draculaura's boyfriend and Clawdeen's brother
Howleen, best friend of Twyla and Clawdeen's sister

I am interested in the whole "fluffy tail concept" as it makes me wonder where the other werewolves keep theirs. xD

And if they are 5.5", I suspect they won't have any more articulation than the regular five points. Are they the size of the Pixies from EAH Dragon Games?

[SaelaVe]

Unfortunately, they probably won't be articulated.   It is absolutely possible to do articulation in that scale (just look at Fairyland RealPukis), but historically, Mattel's smaller/child-sized dolls have had very limited articulation.
And give the limited articulation of most of the full-size reboot dolls... yeah.  I doubt that these dolls will be fully articulated.

[Wuvmykitties]

I was wondering if they're the same height as the Forest Pixies? At first I thought they were the size of a Stacie doll, but Stacie's 7.5 inches. 

Please also note, I'm not saying that Howleen, Clawd, etc. won't be back, but that it's looking more doubtful now that they're introducing little brothers and sisters.

I know the EQ Girls aren't the same height, but some of them are at least partly articulated, maybe these could be rebodied onto them?

I agree.

When we watched WtMH for the first time and saw Clawdeen's family, my husband turned to me and said, "So I guess Clawd is gone?"  So even he was under the impression that characters had been nixed.

[textsfrommh]

I can buy Clawdeen and Lagoona having some distant siblings we haven't heard mentioned before, but where on earth did Fangelica come from? (Eyes Dracula and Clawdeen's mum suspiciously) The only way I can see this making sense is if Fangelica is a cousin of Draculaura.

Still, pleased to see that we're finally getting sibling characters in Monster High. I doubt they'll be articulated, but as long as they look unique and have some charm and character, I think they'll be popular.

[Rhana]

What if Fangelica is related to Elissabat? Just a thought~
