Reel Drama Clawdeen Wolf Review
Clawdeen is my third Reel Drama doll, and probably the most dramatic experience to get so far! I had her preordered on Amazon for about a month before the expected release date, and when it came time to be delivered, my order was cancelled! I was so upset, but I am beyond fortunate to have been able to find her for sale again for close to retail! She arrived packaged well but with a slight lip smudge in the box. Regardless of that small flaw, she is absolute perfection!
Reel Drama Clawdeen is to die for! She is in a black and white version of her original outfit, and comes with a black and white version of her pet, Crescent. She also comes with a full size (about 9″x13″) poster with a matching mini doll-sized poster for herself! She has beautiful and extremely soft long hair, with highlights of purple in it. She is amazing on her own, and her detailing is very on par with the original release Clawdeen.
Reel Drama Clawdeen feels of great quality. Her long hair is very soft, and the fabrics used for her outfit feel of quality and a great match to her original release’s outfit. So far, Reel Drama Clawdeen feels the most luxurious to me out of the other Reel Drama dolls I own, and like a true collector item.
I don’t see Clawdeen being appreciated enough in the Monster High community, which is a shame because she has such stunning dolls and designs. Reel Drama Clawdeen stops me in my tracks every time, and I must admire her! Like the other Reel Drama dolls, Clawdeen isn’t easy to get your hands on. I continue to have faith that the price gouging of these dolls will go down, and all collectors who want to can enjoy these beautiful dolls.

Reel Drama Draculaura Review
Draculaura is my second Reel Drama doll, and my second collector doll! Draculaura is an extremely popular ghoul among collectors, so I’m very happy I have been able to get my hands on her.
Reel Drama Draculaura is gorgeous! She is in a black and white version of her original outfit, and also comes with a black and white version of Count Fabulous! She also comes with a full size (about 9″x13″) poster and a matching doll-sized mini posture! Other than the hair length and overall colors of the doll, she is near identical to the original Draculaura.
This black and white Draculaura has pink detailing in her eyes and hair, as well as in the eyes of her pet Count Fabulous. Post posters feature these same color schemes.
The quality of the clothes on Reel Drama Draculaura feels nearly identical to the original outfit! This is so exciting, because I know how difficult it can be to match textiles in a major production setting. This doll also comes with a clear stand with a grey base, just like Frankie’s. Also like Frankie, this Draculaura does not come with a brush, diary, or her main accessory (the umbrella). Again, I feel as though the hair brush would have been essential for this line.
Overall, I’m in love with Reel Drama Draculaura and I hope everyone who likes her is able to get her. I am impressed by the quality of this doll.

Reel Drama Frankie Stein Review
Frankie is my first Reel Drama doll! I’m not sure if this classifies as a collector series, but if it is, she is also my first collector doll! I’m so happy to have her in my collection.
Reel Drama Frankie is stunning! She has extra long hair that I’m so excited to see with a Monster High doll. She sports a black and white version of her original outfit, and even comes with a black and white version of Watsit! This doll also comes with a full sized (about 9″x13″) poster and a miniature, doll sized poster. Other than the hair and coloration, this doll is near identical to the original Frankie doll.
This black and white Frankie has special blue detailing in her hair and eyes, as well as blue eyes on Watsit. Both posters feature these two with the same detailing.
The quality of the clothes feels slightly different, but I don’t mind, since I collect my dolls for display. Speaking of display, I’m so happy this doll came with a unique stand! The stands for the Reel Drama dolls are grey/silver bases with clear supports. Unlike the original dolls, the Reel Drama dolls do not come with a brush, diary, or main accessory (Frankie’s purse). I really with Mattel included brushes with these dolls, considering how long their hair is. Even if they are collector dolls not meant for play, the box hair is real with these ghouls.
Overall, I’m in love with this design! I think Mattel did a great job with highlighting accent colors and delivering a beautiful product. I’m looking forward to collecting the rest of this line, and I hope to see more Reel Drama in the future.
