The Monster High Skullector Edward Scissorhands Doll is set to launch on December 5, 2023, at 9 a.m. PT, available exclusively through Mattel Creations. This collaboration not only commemorates the film but also showcases a unique blend of aesthetics that appeals to both fans of the movie and collectors of Monster High dolls.
Striking Design and Attention to Detail
Standing at 10.5 inches, the new doll immediately captures attention. It features a genderbent version of the beloved film protagonist, complete with scissorhands and a distinctive hairstyle that fans will recognize. The character is dressed in a black faux leather bodysuit, and the design includes subtle nods to Tim Burton’s work through elements in the boots’ heels.
The craftsmanship on this doll has been noted for its impressive attention to detail, making it a standout piece for display. Even the packaging contributes to the aesthetic, presenting the doll in a stylish, premium fold-out box. While the doll is designed for display, it also includes a stand to facilitate posing, with 11 points of articulation that allow for interactive play and creative setups.
A Collector’s Item Worth Having
Retailing at $70, the Monster High Skullector Edward Scissorhands Doll represents a clever crossover that pays tribute to the 1990 film starring Johnny Depp. This limited-time offering is a must-have for fans, as it integrates seamlessly with existing Monster High collections while standing out with its unique design.
According to ComingSoon, the doll can be particularly enjoyable when paired with decorative elements, such as trimmed plants, to echo the film’s themes and settings. Its combination of nostalgia and contemporary style makes it a valuable addition to any collection.
This collaboration not only celebrates the enduring legacy of Edward Scissorhands but also highlights Mattel’s ability to innovate within their product lines. As the release date approaches, anticipation builds among collectors and fans alike, eager to add this distinctive piece to their collections.
