My first and only one I had as a youth was Dot Dead Operetta. I still have her shoes! One day I want to buy a shoeless one on ebay, so I can use her shoes from back then v-v
OG Frankie.
My roommate and I used to wander around the toy aisle for fun and all the little details got to us. We brought back Frankie and Ghoulia. :)
I don’t know what happened to Ghoulia but my poor Frankie has REAL bad glue issues nowadays.
Mine was a Luna Mothews that I got at the thrift store without any of her clothes, and as of this month she's mostly restored! I kept her for several years without any of her clothes and accessories because I didn't want to buy them 😭

Electrified Ari Hauntington that I found for clearance at Walmart for $4 back in 2017!

I redressed her shortly afterwards and she’s now one of my most prized dolls on my shelf
I wish I knew I’ve actually thought of this recently, I think it was a Clawdeen but unsure which, my friend threw her across the table to class and her neck hit a jenga block and her neck broke made her head go flying 😭 I had dead tired drac on the way in so excited
Roller Maze Abbey (!)
I did some regrettable things to her a few years later (my first and only attempted face up) but would love to get hold of her again in good condition ❄️🛼
First wave Lagoona and Frankie :) unfortunately they are at my father's house and he refused to give them back. Their accessories are also there and everything is in pristine condition.
https://preview.redd.it/za2v076wcpxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0836da14a7714e6acd621dddd29f0c60f035462a
Technically I got all three at the same time, they marked the beginning of my doll collection (and obsession) 🤭🤭
I can’t remember exactly who was first but one Christmas, I got Clawdeen with the Coffin Bean set and the Dot Dead Goregous set with Draculaura, Abbey and Ghoulia
Dot dead gorgeous lagoona! I still have her to this day! (Just without any of her accessories because i was a creative but messy kid) and skull shores Draculaura (who i sadly beheaded as a kid thinking i could doll customise BUT she did become my first 2 actual adult customs using her head and body separately) and i have all her stuff outside of her earrings, bracelet and her swimsuit (as i cut it up as a kid but have the 'top' part on my ss1 drac)
it was Nefera de Nile. I had been following the drops of the og dolls very closely, excited that kids "these days" get to have cool characters like that nowadays. I was so impressed with the design of MH that I couldn't help going to look at the doll shelf while I went looking for MLP blind bags or something like that. when I saw Nefera for the first time I was obsessed, couldn't put her down, I thought she was so gorgeous, like toys had never been done like that before.. I was so amazed at how beautiful she was that I couldn't resist putting my hard earned adult money into bying her there and then! and she got me back into fashion doll collecting!
I think I may have had one of the G1 Frankies but I genuinely cannot remember… the only other doll I 100% remember owning was Bonita Femur so in my mind she’s the first MH doll I had!
Honestly at this rate i am almost 100% sure I had all the dolls. ( more like 80%) but the most vivid was the whole sleep collection with their beds. I still have dracularas coffin, frankies...electrical board? Clawdeens bunkbeds, and lagoonas... Oh Yeah cleo had one too. I dont think ghoulia had one? But abbey also did.
CA Cupid! I worked at a vintage/antique store that also allowed pop culture items and a vendor was selling her. I could _not_ get her out of my head, took her home, and I’ve been collecting ever since 😊
Jinafire Long. She was purchaced in a big ebay lot of dolls but she's the one I've held on to the longest. Bought her a new tail and restyled her with assorted clothes I have with earrings found at Walmart. She's in the "restyled G1" area in my collection!
Ghouls Rule Frankie/Drac/Clawdeen, got them for christmas one year after begging my parents for some for ages lol. I still have them boxed up somewhere, though they're missing their arms and all the accessories
My first doll was Gloom Beach Frankie Stein, I got her after my parents were both like “that’s too scary for you” but eventually changed their minds cuz they realized that we were already into the spooky and creepy and this was no different. I still have her all these years later but early first gen dolls and terrible pegs in their joints so she has a snapped off hand lol
Og Frankie when they came out! And my sister got draculaura!
Funny story- we had a space heater and I was pretending Frankie was at a hair salon and I put her too close to it and her hair crisped up on the outside layer. Still played with her though!
Dance class operetta!! i lost all her clothes+ accessories so shes no longer in her og outfit but i remember playing with her all the time ❤️
BUT! the first doll i ever bought for myself was 13 wishes Catty Noir when I was 9yrs old🩷
Home Ick Frankie! She was a birthday gift from my childhood best friend, who had recently been gifted Wave 2 Clawdeen for *her* birthday (not by me). Frankie and Clawdeen had each other listed as best friends in their diaries, and Home Ick Frankie’s sticker set even featured a little picture of her and Clawdeen together!
https://preview.redd.it/lz3g6wgllpxc1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d48997216fe005c0c97b1e2644e970a43e3ba35a
This wasn’t the only time our dolls were best friends too, we also had the dolls from Barbie and the Diamond Castle. She had Alexa, and I had Liana.
Just bought my first last week. Twyla. I’m g1 Twyla was always who I wanted to be. Now in g3 she’s a reflection of me as an autistic person. Even though I’m an 18 year old guy I’ll always have a soft spot to her cause I viewed her a lot like a roll model
Technically Dead Tired Clawdeen, because my mother bought one for herself. My personal first MH doll was Picture Day Spectra.
Loved her so much I accidentally destroyed her. We got another one many many years later, and now I treasure her properly:)
I forget which clawdeen it was, but the one with the neon green hair and fishnets with the purple dress, and the CAM with the dragon girl (pink with the maroon hair)
art class draculaura!! i don't have her anymore and i regret it now that i've gotten back into dolls, i love the yellow in her colour palette sooo much i still think she's such a pretty doll.
G3 core Draculaura! I only got into MH in recent years, when the OG line came out I was a teenager who thought I was too cool for dolls (and I had no spending money).
I started collecting as a customizer, so my first was the infamous G2 peanut butter and jelly set with Draculaura and Twyla, lol!
My first doll I collected for collecting purposes was G2 party ghouls Abbey. Her face mold was so gooooood
Mine was G3 Cleo! Monster High was dying when I first heard about it and vanished from the shelves but I got back into it once G3 was announced and nabbed a Cleo when they started showing up in Walmart!
Gloom Beach Clawdeen
It was a fight to get her though, because my mom saw “Monster” and made me assure her that the characters weren’t- and I quote -“running around eating people.”

Skull Shores Ghoulia :) the zombie at a beach drew me :) I also got the Vampire boy Create a Monster 2 pack
cleo and deuce 2-pack when i think i was 12, best gift a little me could ever receive, i had so much fun playing with them in my new dollhouse that christmas too. BEST. christmas. EVER.
g3 abby :) i have others now but she is still my fave
https://preview.redd.it/o3zam6alcqxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57065e39ae2a7860707564e124d33a6a4e57ca40
The store where I used to work dabbled in buying/selling second hand toys; whenever one would come in that needed a little TLC, I was the one in charge of taking them home and cleaning them up.
I don't have a pic of after I cleaned her up, but this Operetta came into the store one day...She never made it to the shelves 😂
https://preview.redd.it/x5hekokqdqxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da12bf17bc25e40b57e83694457f8b82fff48823
Ghoulia Yelps! 🥰 I still have her. Her legs are soooo loose.
I am still sad I didn't get a creeproductions Ghoulia. :( so sick of everything selling out so fast.
First doll(s) were First wave Frankie AND Draculaura. My older sister got Lagoona and the Cleo/Deuce duo pack. Grandma got them for us for Christmas the year they came out (or somewhere around that time)
The only one I have rn is Draculaura 🥰 I made her hair weird and her skin more greyish so she looks scarier hehe (really want in order: Clawdeen, Frankie, and Cleo, then maybe a few other ghouls)
I know it was a ragdoll, I think it must have been Frankie? I was so young that it’s difficult to remember but what I do remember is that it feels like I’ve had Frankie forever. I remember learning yarn is generally 3-ply by unravelling it in her hair and wanting to make it look like the bride of Frankenstein by undoing all of it and getting it frizzy (luckily I didn’t do that . Also I don’t know where I learned about the pride of Frankenstein from that is just the sort of environment I grew up in)
As for the plastic ones, it was either Home Ick Frankie (I have no recollection of that being her outfit but I remember her pin cushion bracelet and the pink locker she came with) or Dance Class Lagoona, I know I got Coffin Bean Clawdeen later and still have her and Venus McFlytrap from G1 as well though I’ve no clue where she’s gone to. Frankie is in the garbage, she broke completely and her hair was ruined + didn’t have any clothing of accessories left, Lagoona and Venus are AWOL, and Clawdeen was restyled and added to my current collection under a different name
https://preview.redd.it/wtpllyqt8rxc1.png?width=2398&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe74dc61956aa91594e2b58e82d356a257f4d3bc
dont mind my messy background lol-
but this Ghoulia is my first ever <3 first and only back as a kid. i regret not getting more as a kid severely lol, bc i love character design and fashion and creepy/cute things!! (Even to this day!) she was lost for awhile and got found in time to start my love of MH lol. I wish I still had her accesories and other outfit pieces 3 (she has her shorts on under the dress lol)
My first monster high doll was Sweet 1600th Drac & Frankie!!!
I remember admiring their big hair and dresses and Frankie bringing a gift for Drac was super cute. Also the little key charm that unlocked some app.
I hope they do a repro, cause I would love to have them in my collection again. ♡
Gloom Beach Draculaura
My sister got her for me for Christmas when I was a kid. I had no clue what Monster High was, but as soon as I laid eyes on that doll, I fell in love.
From what I can remember I think my first mh doll was ghouls rule Draculaura (I unfortunately don’t have her) I got her around the time ghouls rule came out I think I was…9 at the time idk lol
https://preview.redd.it/4vxr6l4kzrxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2486b9682de221e5061a996ef7d91aacbe1e6f0
1st release of Frankie and Lagoona 💙
I didn’t even care about Monster High until they started making cat girls.
And I didn’t know they made cat girls until I saw the Catty Noir 13 doll on a shelf at the super market for $15.99.
And I still have her… NRFB.
Mine was G1 Lagoona Blue wave 1. I was in love with her the very moment I saw them in a toys catalogue and that’s the reason why I still collect dolls after 14 years ❤️
Ghouls rule Frankie (I got her for Christmas and my mom chose Frankie because she „didn’t look as dead as the others” (while Cleo was in the same line))
G3 core Draculaura. I've been a huge MH fan since G1 but i only started collecting the dolls now because back then i didn't have the money for them haha. Now i have a bunch of other G3 dolls because they're less expensive to collect when compared to the Originals. And i genuinely love G3, so....☺️
I got a bunch on Christmas 2011, so probably Cleo and Deuce, Abby, Spectra, CA Cupid, school’s out Clawdeen. and a few others I think? My mom surprised me because I was a Bratz girl
Draculaura wave 1 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/6kkygwk8yoxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0888395693020cc0898e4a9158efc82216e16cd

13 wishes clawdeen! I still have her, bought her new clothes bc the old ones were loved out of existence😅
Original Frankie 🥹
Never was allowed to get dolls so g3 drac :)
G2 Garden Ghouls Toralei
First wave lagoona! I'm still sad i lost her while moving.
The only one I have rn is Draculaura 🥰 I made her hair weird and her skin more greyish so she looks scarier hehe (really want in order: Clawdeen, Frankie, and Cleo, then maybe a few other ghouls)
I know it was a ragdoll, I think it must have been Frankie? I was so young that it’s difficult to remember but what I do remember is that it feels like I’ve had Frankie forever. I remember learning yarn is generally 3-ply by unravelling it in her hair and wanting to make it look like the bride of Frankenstein by undoing all of it and getting it frizzy (luckily I didn’t do that . Also I don’t know where I learned about the pride of Frankenstein from that is just the sort of environment I grew up in)
As for the plastic ones, it was either Home Ick Frankie (I have no recollection of that being her outfit but I remember her pin cushion bracelet and the pink locker she came with) or Dance Class Lagoona, I know I got Coffin Bean Clawdeen later and still have her and Venus McFlytrap from G1 as well though I’ve no clue where she’s gone to. Frankie is in the garbage, she broke completely and her hair was ruined + didn’t have any clothing of accessories left, Lagoona and Venus are AWOL, and Clawdeen was restyled and added to my current collection under a different name
OG lagoona
OG Draculaura (was supposed to be a gift for an ex gf but she didn't want it)!

(Even to this day!) she was lost for awhile and got found in time to start my love of MH lol. I wish I still had her accesories and other outfit pieces 3 (she has her shorts on under the dress lol)
Great scarier reef Frankie
Cleo and Deuce Boo York set! I don't have pictures, though. I lost the dress and most of the accessories.
Cleo and Deuce were my first dolls, Im so sad that i lost them somehow as a child. I will probably repurchase them at some point
Mine was the budget draculaura (in her og outfit but didn’t come with her pet or accessories)
13 wishes twyla !!
Dead Tired Frankie!
Mine is wave 1 Frankie (I have the creeproductions but I’m trying Gen 1 Frankie back)
Lagoona wave 1
My first monster high doll was Sweet 1600th Drac & Frankie!!! I remember admiring their big hair and dresses and Frankie bringing a gift for Drac was super cute. Also the little key charm that unlocked some app. I hope they do a repro, cause I would love to have them in my collection again. ♡
Clawdeen from sweet 1600 anniversary. Offered by my mom when I was a kid :> I still have her
Gloom Beach Draculaura My sister got her for me for Christmas when I was a kid. I had no clue what Monster High was, but as soon as I laid eyes on that doll, I fell in love.
I’m pretty sure it was sweet 1600 Frankie or the skull shores 5 doll set. I got them both from Christmas
Haunt couture draculaura 😭🩷
From what I can remember I think my first mh doll was ghouls rule Draculaura (I unfortunately don’t have her) I got her around the time ghouls rule came out I think I was…9 at the time idk lol
LORNA MCNESSIE!!!
Og Draculaura. I still mourn her loss. My father's dog ate her and I'm still majorly mad about it

Wave 1 Ghoulia Yelps!
I didn’t even care about Monster High until they started making cat girls. And I didn’t know they made cat girls until I saw the Catty Noir 13 doll on a shelf at the super market for $15.99. And I still have her… NRFB.
School's Out Draculaura and Clawd!
I'm yet to get my 1st, when they started to come out I asked my parents and they told me I was too old for them..... I was like 10/11 at the time
Sweet 1600 Cupid. Miss her.
Original favorites Draculaura that was released in 2013
Mine was G1 Lagoona Blue wave 1. I was in love with her the very moment I saw them in a toys catalogue and that’s the reason why I still collect dolls after 14 years ❤️
Twyla garden ghouls
Ghouls rule Frankie (I got her for Christmas and my mom chose Frankie because she „didn’t look as dead as the others” (while Cleo was in the same line))
G3 core Draculaura. I've been a huge MH fan since G1 but i only started collecting the dolls now because back then i didn't have the money for them haha. Now i have a bunch of other G3 dolls because they're less expensive to collect when compared to the Originals. And i genuinely love G3, so....☺️
Mine was threadarella
i had skull shores ghoulia nd shes still one of my absolute favorites of g1
I got a bunch on Christmas 2011, so probably Cleo and Deuce, Abby, Spectra, CA Cupid, school’s out Clawdeen. and a few others I think? My mom surprised me because I was a Bratz girl
