Out of the Box: Monster High Deuce Gorgon and Cleo De Nile

Every time I swear I'm not going to pick up any more Monster High dolls, something happens to make me eat my words. Usually it's a new release, but this time around it was a sale - this two pack of of Deuce Gorgon and Cleo de Nile from the Boo York, Boo York series were reduced to $14 USD - since that's normally the price point for a single doll, I decided I couldn't pass these two up.  
The gorgon and the mummy.

They both have fairly standard MH bodies, so I won't be doing a full review, but I did think it would be fun to share some photos (unfortunately we're in the rainy season here, so apologies in advance for the lighting).

Thanks for looking!

    1. He did! I put them somewhere for safe-keeping and then forgot to put them on him for the photos. Whoops!

  2. MH designs are cool and detailed aren't they? I don't blame you for not being able to resist them!

  3. Wow, that IS a great deal! I've found they are doing something similar in the stores here too. I suspect they're trying to push out all the old style dolls to make room for the revamped MH dolls.

    It's really rare to see male MH dolls in the stores here as they sell it so fast. I think the stores only buy a limited number of them as they don't think they'd sell. Boy, are they wrong!

    If I collected MH boys, Deuce would be the one I'd get for that awesome snake hair alone. He always has to wear sunglasses in the show and it reminds me a little of cyclops.

    Thanks for sharing the photos. I've always liked this couple from the show. They're just adorable together. They sing a lovely duet together in the Boo York movie.

    1. Thanks! :)

      It's true about the boys - I usually only see them in those huge multi-doll packs, occasionally in pairs like this, but very rarely on their own. I'm always surprised that more of them aren't made (or stocked, if it's a retailer choice).

    1. Thanks! Are yours going to stay in box? I do really like the design of this packaging, so I can imagine they'd look good on display inside it. :)
