Rare Clawdeen fan... but tbh I agree. I love the hair mix, and her face is gorgeous. If I get her, I think I might try to cut the fur off the jacket and paint the shoes so they aren't see-through. Lately it seems like they're trying to capture more of a glam/hauntlywood style for Clawdeen (I've seen a lot of people say this feels like g1 Clawdeen's younger sister) and I'm here for it. I think we're drifting away further and further from whatever the original vision for g3 Clawdeen was, which kinda sucks since she's this gen's main character and it really doesn't feel like it when her style is so fragmented. But I can't say I cared for that original vision so it's a win for me ultimately. I do wish they'd give her back her glasses though. Maybe try to do something a little more fashionable with them.

Personally, I'm most excited for Cleo. They finally gave back her pants. I don't like her mug- I really don't like super blushy looks on dolls personally and in these stock photos it kinda makes her look like she's about to ask for a manager. BUT everything else is so good. I love the cut of the top and the mesh sleeves and I really like the hair.

While we're here, my thoughts on the other ones:

Franklin's usually my number 1, but this one is not particularly wow-ing me. Maybe that's a good thing, the point of the refresh line is to keep the main ghouls on store shelves. The first refresh dolls came during a time where g3 was just solidifying what they wanted to be, so those dolls really felt like a step up from the original core dolls. These on the other hand, just feel like more of the same. Except for Draculuara. I think her doll is pretty unfortunate. Don't get me wrong, the doll is cute, but is it Draculuara? I don't think it is! It feels like she just found out what coquette is and is a year late to the trend. Keep in mind, these dolls will probably be on shelves as the main representation of the characters until 2027/2028. If this was a look in something like Skulltimate Secrets, I'd be all over it. It's just in this context that I don't think it's a good doll. Insanely cute hair and legwarmers aside from that though. As for Lagoona, personally, I've always struggled connecting with Lagoona Pink. Her first refresh is definitely my favorite doll of hers, but this one is starting to grow on me. I think I'm starting to get the long skirt. Sleeves are maybe a bit too puffy; a needle and thread might fix that. I think a darker lip would have sent her over the edge for me.

Overall. I am whelmed.
