Monster High Travel Scaris Skelita Calaveras Doll

Skelita Calaveras the skeleton girl is one of the most beautiful Monster High dolls I have ever seen. It might not seem like a skull could be cute or sweet, but her expression and markings are completely charming.

Skelita has a different body than the other dolls, a true skeleton body. If you look at the posted review photos you can see she comes with a clear plastic body overlay under her clothes that helps keep her on her doll stand and gives her more of a figure under her dress. Her clothes are festive and fit her perfectly. If you look at the heels of her shoes and her belt you can see tiny impressions of skulls and flowers. Like the other deluxe Scaris dolls Skelita comes with a travel case hers is bright pink with a skull on the front.

Skelita has a delicate quality, figuratively and literally. The tiny bones on her hands are a little bit flexible to help keep them from breaking. My doll came with one elbow bent into a pose, and the other arm does not want to bend I do not want to force it. Her knees also are not bending for me, but I can overlook this as the lower legs rotate in the knee sockets and can achieve some neat poses.

Skelita's hair is fashioned into a high pony tail with orange highlights around her face that complement her very well. I will warn shoppers that I saw a Skelita doll in a retail store yesterday and her hair was an absolute rats nest. I have also seen where the paint of her nose has rubbed off onto the plastic of the box. If you can, buy her in person so you can look her over, and pay the retail price.

I am writing this from a collectors perspective, and Skelita is a beautiful, unique doll that I am very glad to own.

I purchased the skeleton add on kit for my daughter last year and she loved it so I got Skelita for her too. It was a major hit. The doll has great detail and the torso is bones! A very unexpected but deeply appreciated treat! Skelita is made from a softer plastic than the add on skeleton girl but she is still pretty durable. She wears a black mini dress with a colorful over skirt and has a brown bracelet, belt, and green clogs with very realistic looking cork on the bottom portion of the shoe. Her hair is black with orange highlights and her makeup looks like a sugar skull from the Day of the Dead. Her eyes are brown and her eyeshadow is blue. Because she is a skeleton she has no ears or earrings. My daughter says that Skelita is her new favorite doll.

When I saw pictures of the new Scaris line a few months ago, I loved every single doll ... except Skelita. I understood the cultural references behind the design, but Day of the Dead stuff always creeped me out a bit. I'd decided she would be the one doll from the line besides Deuce I wouldn't purchase. Fast forward to a month ago. Once people began to post their own pictures of Skelita, I began to reevaluate my opinion of her. The creepiness gradually gave way to the beauty that is Skelita and what she represents. The more I looked at her, the more I was wrong to write her off as "ugly".

Her painted face, with the pink lips, blue shadowed eyes, and the dab of black on her nose against her white "skin", soon became adorable to me instead of weird. The pure skeletal body is clever; her arms and legs are what I gaze at the most. The streaks of orange in her black hair evoke a Halloween-ish feeling. The vibrant colors on her little dress are amazing. Her shoes are cute. Though, the handle resembling a SPINE jutting from the top of her suitcase is a bit disconcerting. But, hey, it's Monster High they gotta push the limits a little! The cheerful pink color of the case itself helps offset the semi-disturbing aspect.

I rated her five stars in the educational area because Skelita spurred me to research Día de los Muertos in depth. I've discovered things about the holiday I didn't know before and that's when Monster High (or any toy) is at its best when it creates an opportunity for a child (or an adult, in my case!) to learn something and appreciate the world around us.

I love this doll so much now. Skelita Calaveras is a MUST for any Monster High collector.
