#doll design

Lagoona was cancelled from Skulltimate Secrets: Garden Mysteries, and that got me thinking about all the possibilities of her doll, and especially with the budget constraints! Designer notes below:

It's genuinely a surprise that they have not made a g3 Draculaura Collector, considering that not only is she a popular character, but will also bring in a lot of profit.

So i made my own concept for a Draculaura collector doll.

I thought it was a bit of a shame that the "Monster of The Century" concept introduced in Scary Sweet Birthday will only exist within those few webisodes, so I decided to center the theme for her collector with that in mind.

With that in mind, I wanted to design something within the limitations of g3, as g3 is first and foremost, a toyline for kids and tweens, so i tried to realistically design her to look a bit more deluxe than the average play line but a little bit below alumni skullector standard. (Delux meaning no cheap fabrics as well like the pleather Mattel uses)

For her hair, I thought giving her the same pattern as the Nickelodeon version of her Monster Ball look. For her face, she has 3 pink hearts under her eye, and a pink and black lip. She has skull and bow earings, both being light pink.

Her dress shares the same silhouette as the dress Lizzie Hearts from Ever After High.

Her dress is made out of two parts, the dress itself, and the half skirt (which can be detached via velcro at the back). The flowers on her dress are white roses, like the ones in Alice in Wonderland, signifying how she's different from other vampires, it also signifies that she's still a growing ghoul and has a lot more opportunities to grow.

Her sleeves are somewhat similar to her core refresh doll but more extravagant, with ribbons at the cuffs before it transitions to white frill cuffs. Her hands are also white, to mimic gloves.

She had 2 white lace socks with light pink bows. She also has a pair of proper/formal black shoes (conceptually Mary Janes) with ribbons as the heels.

Her hat is the same as her core refresh hat but a bit bigger, it also has a lot more details, such as the hearts and swirls painted into it (similiar to the hats of the Moonspell witches)

Lastly she has a frilly coffin clutch with a pearl handle.

If you crack off Skelita's torso case, her hip mobility gives her poses the majority of fashion dolls cannot achieve. I've never seen a doll cross their legs so naturally before. It's such an easy human pose and such a difficult doll pose. Having no flesh in the way gives you more motion, sure, but even G1 Skelita's hips can't hinge inward this much.
