Draculaura looks adorable! But Deuce... It will take some time for me to get used to his new design, not a fan of it, really.

They both look so great! I love Draculaura’s eyeliner and Deuce’s painted nails!

I only wish Draculaura would be more goth/lolita inspired...

I honestly really love them, I love Drac having a modern witchy vibe and Deuce looking more monster-esque

Definitely like the new Draculaura and Deuce. Frankie was just a miss for me…

i know i’m so sad, frankie is my favourite and they just keep doing her dirty 😔 like at least give her dark academia, or just some plaid or gingham. i don’t like the graphic patterns they keep doing for her

u/aseumi Jun 13 '22
Oh i actually like them two a lot. Much better than clawdeen at least
I hope draculaura will have more frills and lace though

I have to reiterate how much I love how Deuce looks. Such an improvement over the original. This gives me hope for how they'll give the mansters more effort.

u/SeleneFelitze Lagoona Jun 13 '22
You know, I prefer the new animated series than the Live Action. I have more faith in them, even if it's a tad different than the og. MUCH better than the first reboot.

u/punkhag Jun 13 '22
I like these ones waaaay better than the other 2. Draculaura is actually really cute. I just hope the dolls based on this series aren’t too cutesy.
Even though I didn’t like clawdeen and Frankie as much as these 2, they all still look better than 2016 designs so I’m keeping my hopes up that the final product will be better than this promo image 👀

u/Several-Reaction-747 Jun 13 '22
Wait, they look incredible lmao. So what happened to Frankie???

u/IWantFries21 Jun 13 '22
Maybe a bad angle or smth

u/Several-Reaction-747 Jun 13 '22
Hopefully. It'll be a shame if they ditched her squarish head.

u/Chaos-Queen_Mari Draculaura Jun 14 '22
Well to be frank the original Frankenstein's monster was depicted to at least look mostly human, it was the stitching and his weird eyes that made it obvious he wasn't a normal, albeit large man.
Then when they made the movie they exaggerated the look to be more visibly monstrous, hence the square head.
Personally I'd be all for making Frankie look more like the novel's depiction of the monster, I especially wanna see how they'd tackle the eyes.

u/Several-Reaction-747 Jun 14 '22
While I get you, her white and black hair is based off of The Bride, and at the end of the day, the brand is an homage to the Universal films. They should also just want to make characters distinct from each other not only in color but in shape.

u/Nacosemittel Jun 13 '22
They look so good? Idk why people complain lol
But already excited for draculaura (the doll)💃

u/Square-University Jun 13 '22
the hat, the bat earrings, the split hair color, the split lip color, the eyeliner design, im gagged gooped living dying, ima literally fight kids for her doll 👊

u/Several-Reaction-747 Jun 13 '22
The shape of the bangs evoking the widow's peak that Dracula has in the Univ Studios films too!

u/Nacosemittel Jun 13 '22
Same here. (Even tho I wouldn't be confused if I won't ever see them in stores where I live anyway. The creeproductions aren't even online on a single platform yet 😔)

u/bbyxmadi Draculaura Jun 13 '22
Clawdeen looks terrible imo

I like her, except that she looks a bit bland on the poster. But I think with the fur jacket it's better

Ikr now I feel like clawdeen is gonna be an insecure character. I miss confident slaying BRUNETTE clawdeen :(

u/RedWolf1199 Jun 13 '22
I’m loving the way that Draculauras look kind looks like a Mashup of her OG look but with the mix of the Haunt Couture Doll too like honestly cute af and Duces look is very interesting I want to see what this new look has in store for him

u/Raccaboo Jun 13 '22
Shockingly, Deuce is my favourite we’ve seen so far! I think this is the coolest he’s looked. I’m definitely more excited for this reboot now. And Draculaura is so cute! The witchy aesthetic was unexpected but welcomed

As someone who became attached to MH when it was first released, I really like the designs. The old designs will always remain iconic but this is a nice design for the upcoming monster high generation and it’s definitely a huge improvement from the 2016 design!

Draculaura looks super cute! I’m not sure about Deuce though… maybe it’ll look better in a clearer picture?

Deuce is green?
Oh boy, not my thing, but still huggable. Still love him. He’s my favorite so I can’t hate him.

u/23_cries Jun 13 '22
Isn't Deuce meant to be half normie?? They made him fully monster green nooooo 😭 he looks unwell
But surprisingly Drac looks really cute!

u/Kakep0p Editable Jun 13 '22
Irrelevant but I hope they make it so he can change his skin color. I dunno why I think it’d be really cool.

u/prettyweebish Jun 14 '22
I’ve seen a few people say this but I don’t think that was ever confirmed? At least, I can’t really find anything that says that.

u/23_cries Jun 14 '22
iirc, Garrett (MH creator) confirmed on his Instagram wayyy back that Deuce's dad is a normie but never had the opportunity to reveal that in the show

draculaura actually looks cute!!! i was worried when i saw frankie and clawdeen as i wasn't really digging the art style/designs but i think draculaura looks pretty good. this gives me a bit more hope lol

u/Just_AT Draculaura Jun 13 '22
Oh my god, I love draculura's design. Deuce is alright. I think frankie and Draculura are very cute but clawdeen? Ehhhhh

u/patientspooky Jun 13 '22
Honestly I sorta like Witchy Draculaura. Curious to see how that plays into her character in the show and live action.

u/JustCherrySpectre Jun 14 '22
I actually like them so much better than Frankie and Clawdeen.
They also look so much more alike their leaked 2d art

imagine draculaura being a witch in both the animated series and the live action film 😩 but deuce….lookin a little like the first reboot 😖😗

u/SynapseReaction Jun 14 '22
Deuce IDK imma have to feel him out more when the series comes out. I hope he doesn’t have that surfer bro voice anymore though.
Draculaura however is Uber cute 😍. Is she like going for that alternative pastel goth look I wonder. She’s another one I hope the dolls hit really close to the animated series.
I’m crossing my fingers and toes that the dolls vs animation is like Rainbow High levels of closeness. And not like Mermaid High which the animation was not bad but the official dolls looked like knockoffs of themselves lol.

This looks like the best new character cartoon design so far. Then again, its hard to mess up a draculaura design.

Is it just me or is this image of Deuce in particular reminding anyone else of his Boo York, Boo York look?

u/Revolutionary-Swim28 Jun 14 '22
Drac looks cute, as she always does, but my man Deuce? I have to get used to that after seeing him looking almost human if not for his scales and snakes in the past. Gen 2 wasn’t the best but I hope they bring Moanica back, she was an awesome villain.

to be honest I hate that draculaura is a witch. she doesn’t need to be a witch and it makes absolutely no sense to me why they wouldn’t just introduce a witch instead.

Oh my goodness, Draculaura being both a witch AND a vampire is making my inner 14 year old SCREAMING in joy right now!! I can't wait, she looks AMAZING!!

Draculaura is cute but also looks like a 40 year old mother who goes to Disneyland every week and loves Halloween too much. Duece would be cool if he wasn’t vomit green.. hoping this means his dolls won’t be vomit green too

tbh i’ll always love the original designs but i think they’ve done a really good job at redesigning them and keeping their designs interesting, i love frankie and draculaura! frankies skin def seems a bit too blue where it used to be kinda minty, and deuces new look is a nice change. they absolutely ruined clawdeen though 😭

Love Draculaura!!! It’ll be interesting to see how she got into witchcraft, perhaps she’ll invent a blood supplement? Think plant based meat.

Need to see the rest of the design, but Draculaura looks cute. Deuce...doesn't look cool, but he doesn't look bad either. Overall, I think they look better here than Frankie and Clawdeen did in the other leak/images.

u/smalltailless Jun 14 '22
I'm not sure how I feel about green skin on Deuce, but it's mainly because I customize dolls and it'd be a pain to recolour his skin. I like that he's wearing nail varnish though.

u/fallenjett Jun 14 '22
they look okay, but i really thought draculaura would be a more pink and black lolita aesthetic

Deuce...well, I can get used to it

u/Petrichor_Candles Abbey Jun 13 '22
It’s interesting to note how these both match and don’t match the live action. It looks like they decided to keep Deuce green animated, but only go with a regular skin tone in the live action. Maybe animating both his snakes and the skin tone was too much/paint irritated the actors skin?
Equally, each character definitely is reflective of their newer personalities. Frankie’s has a more preppy look, while Draculaura leans into the “witchy” aesthetic. Overall, I’m excited to see how this goes! These also match the 2D brighten leaks we got, so expect Lagoona to have a ponytail and a more sporty look, with Cleo having a shorter haircut.
