![]() Also appreciated the working in of Time Lord references! Oh drat! I thought I was safe for a while, and now I have to look for Cupid (this compulsion for complete sets is dreadful)! She is lovely, and you've answered my questions about how the two different versions compare. I will start a poll at the top and we'll see if we can get a consensus on the question: is Cupid better off at Ever After High, or should she have stayed with the Monsters? I'd love to know which doll is more appealing to you, or if you have a hard time choosing as well. Neither is trying for what the other one has achieved. Monster High Cupid is uniquely weird and Ever After High Cupid is charmingly pink. I don't think it's easy to choose between Ever After High Cupid and Monster High Cupid because they portray such different images. She may not be as exciting as the mysteriously beautiful Cerise Hood, but I think she's a much more interesting choice than the Getting Fairest characters, all of whom I feel like I've seen before. Given all of the new Ever After High dolls on the shelves, I am glad I picked Cupid. Cupid's earrings, ring and bracelet are unremarkable, but the other accessories compensate for this. The headband is a wonderful nod to Monster High Cupid's twisted heart hairstyle. Cupid's dress is what I have come to expect from an Ever After High doll: it has tulle, sparkle, lace and a few references to the Greek mythology theme. I love the look of a doll posing with a bow, which is probably thanks to the bow-wielding heroines of The Hunger Games and Brave. Her bow and arrow is simple, but it fits into her hand well and is probably the accessory that best identifies her as Cupid. She has great shoes and dramatic, artistic goddess wings. Like most Ever After High characters, Cupid is a normal-looking, versatile, princess-style doll that reveals her theme only through her neat accessories. I would prefer a silkier hair fiber, but the spun sugar consistency and volume of this hair seem to suit Cupid. It's bright and cheerful and fits with this girl's ultra-sweet persona. Even speaking as someone who wouldn't list pink as a favorite color, I have to admit that I like Cupid's candy-pink hair. ![]() Pink-haired dolls are getting easier to find, but they're still relatively scarce in the aisles of most toy stores. The most unique thing about Ever After High Cupid is her pink hair. Ever After High Cupid captures the frilly, sweet, upbeat nature of the fairytale spinoff line. Monster High Cupid captures the dark, unique strangeness of the Monster High franchise with her pale white vinyl, sunken eyes, skeletal wings, and a mouth expression that's difficult to read. Both dolls are successful in conveying a basic Cupid theme while staying true to the essence of their line. At the end, we can decide if it was a good idea for Cupid to change schools.or if, perhaps, she should have stuck with Monster High.īottom line? It's neat to see Mattel's two very different interpretations of the same character. The story is that this character switched schools, from Monster High to Ever After High, bringing lots of Monster High collectors along with her.īecause there are now two dolls representing the daughter of Eros, I figured I should bring the original Cupid doll into this review for a few comparisons. Cupid doll made a few years ago for the Monster High line. Cerise's review will come soon, but for now, here's the lovely Chariclo Arganthone Cupid: As excited as I am about Cupid, though, I'll tell you right now that Cerise Hood outshines her promotional pictures and seems, at first glance, to be the most unique doll in this line to date. I have been wondering how Mattel would handle the re-introduction of this character. I was probably most excited about the appearance of Cupid, because she is the crossover link between Monster High and Ever After High. I will review both of these dolls in two posts. I was going to choose one new Ever After High doll (Cupid) and one new Monster High doll (Sweet Screams Frankie-she's crazy-fancy and fun), but the Ever After High girls were really hard to resist, and so I left with two of them: C.A. ![]() The Ever After High additions included Cupid, a new "Getting Fairest" Maddie Hatter and Apple White, and the highly anticipated Cerise Hood. The Monster High additions were from the "Frights, Camera, Action" series and also from a new group called "Sweet Screams" that I had never seen before. While I was doing my "research" at Target the other day, I noticed a ton of new Monster High and Ever After High dolls.
