davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

I loved MH for all the monstrousness it brought us, and was sad to see it go, but, no matter how much I wanted MH to last for decades like Barbie, it was probably bound to die. You need mainstream audience to be interested if you want to keep a brand going, and mainstream audience can get tired of otherness quickly. Once the Twilight hype faded away, monsters weren't hip anymore, and the final attempt to 'barbify' MH chased away the old fans, while failing to lure in new ones, because even with all the extra cuteness and innocence and family-friendliness, the dolls were still monsters.

Sacrily Ever After (Scary Tales in some areas) line was PURE GENIUS! I love the MH retellings of the fairy tales to bits!
