Descendants is Disney's answer to both this line and Ever After High, focusing on the offspring of Disney Animated Canon characters and specifically toplining the ones who have villainous ancestry. As it launched in 2015 and Mattel handled the toyline, some fans of either or both prior franchises believe that this was a factor in their being discontinued over 2017-18. While the extent of this is unknown, it is known that the franchise's popularity was a factor in Disney selling the Disney Princess and Frozen licenses to Mattel's rivals at Hasbro.

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. Gigi Grant highlights her bewitching look with boo-tiful makeup and a pink and orange ponytail. You couldn't wish for better accessories – she comes with a personal diary, a hairbrush for touching up her 'do, and a doll stand for striking different poses. Plus, your ghoul will shriek with delight at the spooky-cute pet scorpion, Sultan Sting. The Monster High doll collection can be broken up into categories – and when it’s broken up into categories, it’s easier for buyers (and players) to understand what each doll is supposed to be comprised of.Wish Granting: When still bound to the lantern rules, Gigi could grant each finder a total of 13 wishes. However, when this power was passed on to Whisp, Gigi lost it. In 'Scareful What You Wish For', Gigi learns that her wish granting is still available for her, though only for simple wishes. She can also grant unlimited wishes, rather than only 13. 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.

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. Fake Brit: Julie Maddalena as Robecca Steam, Stephanie Sheh as Jane Boolittle, and Jonquil Goode as Ari Hauntington. February 7, 2013: Gigi Grant's full name is revealed and the character officially announced by Mattel's pre- American International Toy Fair press release. 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.Spectra's dolls tend to look off, thanks to the stoic expression and totally straight hair as opposed to the constant cheerful smile and unkempt hair. Her relationship with her family is unknown, but she is the daughter of the Genie or Djinni. She mentions of having a father, but there is no information regarding Gigi's mother. It is possible she was born without one. Gigi, regardless of the events that occurred, also still claims Whisp as her sister. Animated Elle's hairline is a squared-off widow's peak to keep with her angular robotic details. The actual doll's hairline is completely smooth. 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.

It's a classic genie story – with a Monster High twist. When Howleen Wolf discovers a magic lantern, she's granted 13 wishes instead of three. She makes some good choices, and some bad choices, and creature chaos soon ensues. It's up to the ghoul friends to save the day, and all before the Haunt the Casbah Dance. Girls will love recreating favourite movie moments and inventing new adventures with the Gigi Grant doll.

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. 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. 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).
