Thanks to my mom's new love of Tumblr, I became aware of this Amazon.com exclusive Draculaura doll and pre-ordered her as soon as I could! She has so many details that you just have to check out! Meet my new favorite MH doll!
I had to start with a black and white photo because her Victorian styled outfit demands it!
I absolutely adore her coffin box, I plan to display her in it because the box is almost as gorgeous as she is!
... almost...
I didn't get the greatest contrast on this photo, but the box reads "Draculaura" followed with "EST. 411 AD"
A lovely likeness of her on the back as well.
With the lid and stand removed.
This is her stand. You'll notice that it's far more detailed than the standard MH doll stands.
Out of the box she looks great, although her hair needs some work...
But with some careful brushing her curls are soft and voluminous!

Details of the dress.
The delicate edging of her cape.
The center of the lace overlay features a vampire bat.
Her beautiful pink locks.
Her hat!
I would usually trim the staples holding the hat in place immediately, but I think I'll leave these in since her hat looks unlikely to stay on without them. I wish they would have used black staples to hide them better though u.u
The umbrella~ more elegant details!
Her appropriately Victorian styled boots are very cute.
She also comes with this little booklet with notes, graphics, and fancy doll photographs!
A sample of what's inside.
Like I stated earlier, I really want to display her in the box because it looks awesome, however I was a little worried if she would look a mess without her restraints, staples, and hair sewn to the back... Much to my surprise I think she still looks fantastic:
She's still on her doll stand, which fits in the box with the lid closed, and I left the piece of plastic attached to the backing that holds the umbrella so I wouldn't have to worry about her dropping it. She has a hard time holding the umbrella because of the weight, and that's why in the photos it's resting on her hat for extra support:
I think the umbrella being too heavy for her is my only complaint, and honestly I feel like it's an extremely minor issue. I think this doll is fabulous and she's really priced well for a collector doll. Some of the recent collector Barbies I have purchased were well over double the price, had far less detailing, and were not even close as far as the wow factor this doll has in person. Definitely recommend this doll if you're a Monster High fan or even if you just love Victorian/Gothic clothing and dolls as much as I do!
Until next time~~~~
