davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

No, there was a normal colorful version, too. She was part of the elusive Skull Shores 5-pack (that also had Cleo and Clawdeen, who, to my disappointment, weren't released solo). .

Oh! I was not aware of this! I wonder if it was a "store exclusive" set? When Monster High was at its peak, there were Toys R Us exclusives, Target exclusives, and Walmart exclusives, in addition to the San Diego Comic Con exclusives and Mattel Shop Online exclusives.
Aha! An eBay search reveals that yes, the Skull Shores set was a Target stores exclusive! And it includes a full-color version of Frankie! A few sellers are offering the set at not too terribly hideous of a price. Slightly pricey, but not too terribly hideous. Perhaps, later in the summer, if finances permit....
Where I lived at the time, the nearest Target was a 1-1/2 hour drive away through heavy traffic. I made special trips over there two or three times specifically to look for Monster High dolls. Early on they never had any in stock; during later trips, the stock was small and only offered commonly available figures at higher prices than other stores, so I eventually quit checking Target altogether.
