Even comics can't resist, as The DCU now has its own line of various female characters going to high school (in all fairness however, DC was pushing for that to happen even well before Batman Beyond was created- but likely went ahead now thanks to other similar lines being successful). Granted, the merchandise is another Mattel property, not another company.

Word of Gay: Creator Garrett Sander confirmed that several characters were meant to be LGBTQ+ (hinted at in their diaries): Finnegan Wake (pansexual), Neighthan Rot (unconfirmed, suspected to be bi/pan), Kieran Valentine (gay and struggling with internalized homophobia and misogyny), and Kiyomi Haunterly (lesbian). Interpretations he's voiced support for include: Clawdeen Wolf (lesbian), Kala Mer'ri (bi/pan), and Gilda Goldstag (trans). For the Generation 3 animated series, Frankie is nonbinary and voiced by iris menas, who is also nonbinary. Prototype images indicated that Clawdeen (and presumably other werebeasts) was going to have her ears mounted on a headband rather than molded onto her head.Several Toyless Toyline Characters were intended to have toys at one point, but they were ultimately cancelled: Seth Ptolemy, Quill Talyntino, Spelldon Cauldrononello, Gory Fangtell, Dedyet de Nile, Tiki, and the Sea-Mares. Gigi comes off as one of the sweetest ghouls in Monster High. She has a friendly nature and is kind and helpful to others as much as she can. However, she tends to hide away when it comes to confrontations with other monsters (such as Toralei or Whisp). She's afraid of making severe mistakes at times as she knows there can be consequences.

The CGI art on Kiyomi's box gives her a pink hair accessory and silver chain earrings similar to her belt. The doll itself has a sea green hair accessory and simulated pierced ears, but no earrings. Gigi is voiced in English by Jonquil Goode. In Freaky Fusion, she was credited under the alias “ Joni Goode”. A few of the G2 doll releases, like the Scream and Sugar Amanita and Nefera and I Love Fashion Whisp, are plainly G1 dolls that weren't able to release during G1, since their facial designs and bodies are in the G1 style. Furthermore, with Whisp, her format is a hint—the I Love Fashion series was a G1 staple that first existed to provide dolls with several outfits and then gained the function of being the place where female characters that had formerly been SDCC exclusives got a wide release. Whisp was the only such character to not get an ILF doll prior to the end of G1, indicating alongside her visual design that her G2 doll was always intended for a G1 release.Fake Nationality: Pretty much every character. Technically averted with Stephanie Sheh as Jinafire Long, as she is American, but of Taiwanese descent. Cash-Cow Franchise: For much of the 2010s, it went head-to-head with Mattel's own Barbie for sales. The popularity of Monster High led to a whole subgenre of similar dolls. Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy: Most of the time, the dolls are pretty good representations of their depictions in their character art, the webisodes, and the movies, but usually their faces are much milder. Some more notable inconsistencies include: Playhut came out with Mystixx, which copy the look of the Monster High dolls (with some possible recasting of the Mattel molds) and features some possibly traced character art. Similarly Named Works: There is another, completely unrelated movie Obscurus Lupa reviewed called Monster High (that predates the franchise by almost 20 years) which contains gory shots of people exploding and gratuitous amounts of Rape as Comedy. Pray that an unwitting parent hasn't confused the two.

Despite being part of the Welcome to Monster High toyline, "Dance the Fright Away" Abbey and Moanica do not appear in the film, with Abbey herself not appearing in any form. Draculaura in Welcome To Monster High has a right forearm's worth of bangles, a punk multicolor-studded bracelet on her left arm, and tights under her dress. These are not present on her doll. Also from this movie, Moanica's boots have more detail in their painting and her belt is different. Clawd was initially voiced by Yuri Lowenthal for "Fur Will Fly" for only one line; he's currently voiced by Ogie Banks. The artwork for Gigi's "School's Out" doll gives her a low ponytail with hair swept across her face, and a small section of her midriff is visible. The doll's hairstyle is a high ponytail, and her outfit is one piece. Teleportation: Gigi can teleport from place to place, which she used to make use when her finders summoned her. It is unknown if she kept this ability with the genie exchange.Deuce, starting with the "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?" special, is now voiced by newcomer Evan Smith. Smith also replaced Yuri Lowenthal as the voice of Gil. Cam Clarke filled in as Deuce's VA until Evan was cast. The vocal change also marked a change in his personality that not everyone agrees with.

Includes 10.5-inch (27 cm) fully articulated Gigi Grant doll wearing fashion and accessories, lantern purse, pet scorpion figure, diary, doll hairbrush, and doll stand. For the live-action movie, Frankie is nonbinary and played by Ceci Balagot, who is trans and uses he/they pronouns. Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Pretty much every character is from a foreign country (mainly Europe), and the voice actors give them American accents, though Lagoona is given more of an Australian accent. Gigi's lantern was found by Howleen, and when Whisp tried to take control over her, her friends found every piece of the magic mirror, stopping Whisp. Howleen's last wish released Gigi from her lantern, so she could stay at Monster High and make Whisp the lantern's new genie. She now studies at Monster High and makes an effort to adapt to the world outside.Boo York, Boo York is the only G1 line to include dolls of every standard body size (little sister, standard, big sister, and male.) Since the stand design is new, it is also the only line with a different stand and all of the body types. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic getting a Monster High-like makeover. Howleen Wolf is the one who finds the lantern Gigi resides in, so they start developing a friendship. She finds it a little strange that she is developing a relationship with a 'finder' but enjoys Howleen's personality. She is also friends with her shadow-half Djinni "Whisp" Grant, who once tried to dominate the world. In her bio it states that she is friends with Twyla Boogeyman as well as Iris Clops with their shared passion for Astronomy. Gigi also seems to be good friends with Catty Noir as they both have common interest with each other in the New Scaremester diaries. Midnight Magic, a line of multi-colored witch dolls found mostly at discount stores, and a slew of various bootlegs and copycats coming from China.
