How This Angsty Doll BROKE The Internet : Shadow High 

Ngl I'm really curious about Sunny and Lunas relationship, since they have the same last name it confirms them being sisters (even twins lol)

ngl, I love the quality of these dolls and absolutely adore the tidbits of world building they're giving us, but they are nowhere near alt lmao. I'm not trying to be gatekeepy but there's no way you could call greyscale supreme and gucci 'punk'. I still like the line and the aesthetic, I just wish they'd do a little more than just mainstream fashion, it's like calling metallica or queen 'underground'

I'm craving a Rainbow/Shadow High doll in Japanese lolita style clothes. OMG has some that's come pretty close, but there's still some work to be done! I feel they play it very safe with these lines, the clothes are very similar to one another... Which is ironic since it's all about individual style.

id KILL for more alternative references to shine in shadow high. a goth doll, an emo doll, a metalhead doll, etc. would be super cool looks! maybe a doll with doc marten looking boots?

I was so confused when I saw the name Shadow High. Mostly because Ever After High had a book where Monster highs Draculaura and Frankie goes to their dimension, and the title is Shadow High. Wiki: The Legend of Shadow High is the fifth book of the Ever After High book series, written by Shannon Hale and her husband Dean Hale. It was released on October 17, 2017. So I got really confused :P but they look so good!

So I love Rainbow High, but I am hard-core fan-girling over Shadow High! Amazingly looking!!! Sunny has a SISTER!?!?!?!? And I'm dieing of impatience for Ainsley!!!!

I am BEYOND excited for this series as they remind me of the black and white Frankie Stein Skull Shores first collector doll and I AM LIVING for the Black and White / Grayscale color scheme!

I really like them, I’m copping Luna for sure (I’m weak for those space buns). But I do agree with other commenters that I would have liked to see some genuine alt fashion, instead of mainstream fashion but black and white. Still, they have a really neat concept and they’re def going to stand out on a shelf next to all the other dolls.

Although I love the new silhouettes, like Shanelle's flamenco-esque dress and puff sleeves, a lot of the fashions are still inspired by mainstream brands. I would looooove to see a cottagecore doll or fashions from around the world, like saris and yukatas for example (kinda like how Lily Cheng did a spin on the qipao)

MGA's advertising for these doll lines are just ugh, GENIUS. The fact that the story of those "highs" feed on drama so MGA adapts to drama and awesomely uses it for ads U G H. I seriously wish I had money to buy these dolls, but alas, I can only contribute by not skipping some ads on their RH animated series

Ok but too anyone who read the Ever After High and Monster High crossover book, SHADOW HIGH. RING ANY BELLS?

I'm so glad someone's finally saying it. These 2 doll lines are meant for slightly different audiences. I've always found the Rainbow High dolls a bit clownish because of the colors. These have a more ethereal/ghostly vibe to them and I love it. Not every doll has to be super colorful.

Just got Heather in Target today! i had no idea the line existed, but she sits next to my bed and is by FAR the most detailed doll ever. Giving HUGE old school monster high meets ever after high vibes (freaking love it).

I was THIS close to starting a rainbow high collection because I love all the details, but UMM....my goth heart is now #teamshadowhigh

the ONE thing i hope is that luna and sunny have a good relationship, i dont want to see them fight since sunny is such a nice person and luna does too!

Am so hyped for this doll line as I’m a person who dresses and likes alternative stuff I feel that this doll line will appeal to me

This line is very intriguing and I love that there making it different from rainbow high especially with the color palette changes

Heather is my favorite sh doll, matter of fact I think she’s my favorite doll out of the entire series period She just looks so good?? Her clothes? The extra hair pieces?? The split dye hair?? Perfection, literally

She was already my favorite but I’m even MORE excited now. That extra detached hair??? Whattt???

The shade the social media accounts gave each other was peak drip marketing

But why did the impersonator have a picture of the doll? And how did they know that Elvira got this exact doll? Doesn't this mean they also might be on the PR list since they had this doll? EDIT: I just noticed that the leaked picture is of the exact doll Melissa from "My World" reviewed in her video? I compared the picture to the doll in her video when it was still in the box. The creases in the dress, the hair, the position of the feathers is all identical. Its literally a picture of her doll. Why is this??? 🤔

I’m 100% #TeamShadowHigh Also why can’t we buy the dolls with the cool stuff you got?? That’d be amazing.

Screw $75 for Draculaura, I’m going for Heather. MGA you’ve done it again!!!

I have watched all the Shadow High unboxing videos and yours is far and away the best and most thorough. I really LOVE your review style!

Ash looks better than River did. I think it's the smaller eyes.

Ive never seen a doll without a natural skin colour and love how sunny has a sister in shadow high

oooo I'm in love with all of them I'm so excited for release!! My ranking: 1. Nicole Steel - I have a bias for the dolls with curly hair, its just so bouncy and pretty. I also love her face. 2. Natasha Zima - She reminds me of old Hollywood, Marie Antoinette, and ghosts and oddly that works really well. I love the shading on her face, esp her lips. And I always love a big fur coat. 3. Shanelle Onyx - I'm a huge fan of the white in her hair, and the high pony (I have a character that looks similar to her so that's probably bias lol). She has a pop star goth aesthetic that I'm loving. 4. Heather Grayson - She's cool! I really like the snake motif she has, and the hair accessories are super cool. She's only lower because she's definitely very e-girl to me, which isn't bad, but not a personal favorite aesthetic. Cool, but not as appealing to me in particular. 5. Ash Silverstone - I like his face much much better than River (who's eyes are off putting to me), but he doesn't stand out to me for any reason. I definitely think they're improving on their boy dolls, but I still probably wouldn't buy him. I do really really like the 2d art of him though. 6. Luna Madison - I'm really interested to see her relationship with Sunny, I like her 2d art, and I like that she looks tall (she probably isn't but she looks that way in the photo), but I have never been a fan of Sunny's hairstyle, especially the bangs. Also I'm sure their hair is so similar in order to show their resemblance, but since Sunny's hair is meant to reference sailor moon (since she loves animation and cartoons), why would it make sense for Luna to have that as well? It may be because her name is Luna (contrast to sunny's name, but it is also the name of the cat in sailor moon). That's not really much of a problem, just a thought. But yea, last place solely because of the hair.

These dolls r gorgeous and u r stunning queen! I can't wait for this line to officially come out🖤

I made my own Shadow High back in 2009 with the main character being named Luna, but it wasn't a fashion school[thankfully]. I'm honestly not a fashion person but my halfling loves them so 🤷🏾.

8:01 Doll! You're about to get designs leaked! Oh no! He has his air pods in! He can't hear us!

Oh my gosh, Shadow High is so awesome! I absolutely love it’s black and white gray scale! Such a cool idea. I can’t wait to see the differences between Rainbow High and Shadow High.

Oh my GOSH, I had no idea Rainbow High was getting a dark universe expansion. So exciting!

All ik is Shanelle is definitely my number one. I'm just not too sure if Heather or Nicole is my #2 because I don't see much detail on Nicole yet, but she looks cute, and so does Heather in both of her outfits (even tho I'm not really a snakeskin fan or glitter) . Luna has to be #3 or #4 (due to me still not knowing about the other 2 just yet), and I hardly seen both of her outfits. Natasha #5, cuz I think her outfits look really good on her even though I only really saw her first outfit as well. Lastly, Ash in #6 because I never really had masculine/guy/boy dolls.

Yep, I knew you would bring the accurate information to this whole fun, hyped up doll line, which from what I've seen so far from you and others, is actually worth the buzz! These dolls are SPECTACULAR!!! I'M GETTING ALL OF THESE DOLLS!!! I think it's a BRILLIANT marketing scheme on MGAs part to do these staged leaks which may be accidental, but who cares! The effect is what matter's and the dolls meet the high expectations, at least for me they do. By the way, you look so cool! Thanks for the update and as usual your posts are entertaining as they are thoroughly informative. Shanell is my favorite, but I adore them all!

Hey Clawdeena. I've got to say your video was awesome. Congradulations you for newest makeup and i'm so excited to see the newest detailes of Shadow High.🤩👏

I live how their accounts are actually feuding. It's amazing

I wish they had more fishnets, bdsm leather inspired, and other ALT fashion staples. they arent even as alt as MH dolls were even though thats the vibe they seem to be trying to capture, they should take inspo from vivian westwood i think that would rlly make them even better

GIRL IM TEAM SHADOW HIGHHHH idk why I just love all the dolls and how creative they were with the black white and gray color schemes. My favorite doll has to be Shannel Onyx

I'm in love with nicole, her pigtails are everything

This reminds me of the monster high/ever after high crossover book the legend of shadow high. In the book shadow high was a school for narrators who wanted to take control of the characters instead of just narrating them but the school has since been unmade and is now just a jumble of words in the shape of what it used to be

I literally LOVE this doll line! I love gothic and alternative fashion and I am so grateful that MGA decided to do this! It also gives me a reason to start collecting Shadow High dolls since I was so behind on Rainbow High dolls this year.

I love how this community is just a bunch of adults talking about dolls. Very wholesome I love

She is absolutely gorgeous. I Love her makeup so much.

This is the first I'm hearing about these. It's really cool to see a doll line that's in totally greyscale like that, it really makes the eyes pop

I'm going to comment my opinions noone asked for because I have some and comments help videos get picked up by the algorithm. Personally, I don't see the appeal of grey scale dolls AT ALL. However, it must be said that the marketing was iconic. Definitely going down in history as one of the best toy marketing moments.

i have never been this hyped for a doll line in my life! i adore rainbow high, it's quickly become my favorite doll line of all time, but personally I dress very gothic so from the moment i started collecting them(shortly after series 2 released) i've had the idea for a black themed character with a goth aesthetic. i never would have imagined they'd make a whole spin off line of gothic rh dolls but finding out they actually are made my entire year. like heather's 2nd outfit looks like it could have come from my closet and I literally have a choker identical to hers

Omg i just wanted to say how cute your cosplay is. I came across this video and I loved I’ve when commentators/ channels like yours dress up in a theme they are talking about!

7:43 the first two dolls look amazing!

wow, these dolls are so high quality! They are amazing, i wouldve begged my mom to buy them if i was still into playing with dolls. The whole academy thing also good as a thing to play lol, i think i wouldve bought/made my mom buy one from rainbow high and one from shadow high and made them enemy to lovers style romance. I love how those are both appropriate to play and collecting, absolute love

She's pretty too! I love the hair detailing. I appreciate all of the other leak details. I agree that the Shadow High Instagram had me shook! I'm so excited for this line..Thanks for your review!

i just can't even get over your makeup here ❤

Oh my crispy chicken, I'm so happy I only got Carmen from RH, Shadow High is so worth the cash!

11:50 Heck yes! I was in a Camp Rock 2 stage musical (yes you read that right) in middle school, never forget.

Excuse my ignorance. I was shopping at Target's, I crossed through the doll aisle of the store. I am a doll collector. I saw Shadow High's "Shanelle". What a beautiful doll 😍 Her jet black skin caught my eye. Who, or what company makes her? Mattell? Or is she in someway, made by the MonsterHigh chain? Oh...I went on and bought the doll. I must say that she is well made.

I would start sobbing if they added a character with a fake leg or arm or someone in a wheel chair 😭

Also, so far I like Natasha the most, because her pure white mixed with subtle color almost makes her look ethereal or angelic. Also, I bought Clawdeen Wolf from Mattel Creations. I don’t know if you saw my comments before when you were reviewing the dolls, but I’m sorry about my poor attitude Clawdeena. Honestly, your videos are one of the first ones I go to for new dolls and reviews. Thanks for your hard work. 👍

It was funny listening to Clawdeena try super hard not to say “Monster High”. 🤣

Literally how r u so good at makeup. GIVE ME UR SKILLS

You're channel inspired me to collect dolls and I have a much better appreciation of how dolls are made and what happens especially the tea I want to say thank you!

Another legendary video 💖💖💖

I love how I was watching this video and I got a shadow high commercial 💀

I find this all so very interesting and innovative. I'm very curious to hear the story behind Shadow High. I can't wait to see what they look like in person. This is a great & very informative video. I love all the competition happening now in the doll world, that's the best news for us the consumers.

just got a shadow high ad It's SO GOOD

same face mold, the same quality, what an original idea!

I love heather so much her hair is just beautiful

Shanelle looks so fire ngl I need to see her better!!!

Shanelle was my first SH/RH doll! Her right hand broke off but she is still my favorite aside from Rosie Redwood who I just ordered today finally after wanting her since July!!! 🖤❤️

I think the dress oh Heather is inspired by the animal prints that Roberto Cavalli makes 🥰🥰

lol I immediately got a shadow high ad

can i just say i love your makeup agjdjhdhsjja

I am so excited to see the new ainsly doll! I do think that she will be on a full grey scale (at least I hope so)

Not the Shadow High ad playing right before this video

Rainbow vs Shadow high totally reminds me of Bring It On school rivalry between the clovers!

I LIVE FOR UR MAKEUP AND LOOKS, this doll line looks insanely beautiful and unique! cant wait to see the girlies fighting on screen 😸👠💖💋 my fave is nicole steele rn

Do I only have the impression that Luna is Sunny's sister

They are not goth just because they are greyscale. They are wearing those same logoed tacky clothes. Folks love praising MGA. But stop lying saying these dolls have goth or punk esthetic.

I absolutely love this line but i wonder how much they can get out of it before running out of greyscale designs, slightly worried people (kids) might get bored with them? but if they really get creative with it, i think there’s endless opportunities to keep making unique shadow high students. I could also be greatly underestimating the amount of people that would be interested in a more alternative/avant garde doll line

I've been hesitating to buy Rainbow High dolls for so long but I really think I should get one of each Rainbow and Shadow High now,,,

i've never seen anything like shadow high before! they're sooooo beautiful too! i cannot wait to see more!

Not the shadow high ad playing before the video 💀

Came back to this video after watching up to episode 6 of season 3 of RH. I was hoping to see your reaction to episodes 2-6 since this was where they introduce SH. Although I was hoping that SH would be it's separate show I can see this as a beginning of an intro for SH to make a name for themselves before having their own thing. It's also really hard to pick one school over the other one...but if I had to...then I would choose SH.

I got a ad for shadow high for this vid and I've never really gotten doll ads before lol

Ehhh they are pretty, but I still see them as "b&w Rainbow High". I was really hoping for more alt/goth looks.

I was so over collecting dolls! But I’m living for this Shadow line! 😱💙

The rivaling school idea reminds of equestria girls friendship games. Perhaps sunny and Luna will be the only ones who won’t be competing.Maybe violet will be living for the drama, as usual

If this is going to be a separate animated series we gotta have a crossover or at least a couple cameos

I ordered the whole set of Shadow High, their look is really cool

Normally I don’t buy dolls but I think that’s about to change

I am so team shadow high! I only have three: Zima, Luna and Onyx. I honestly can't pick out a favorite. I originally went to the store to get Onyx but after seeing Luna and Zima... Well I couldn't go home without them too! I'm really looking forward to more shadow high dolls!

Clawdeena you are Queen!!! 👑 I love your makeup! Awesome review!!! Here's my rankings: 1) Heather, 2) Luna, 3) Shanelle, 4) Nicole, 5) Ash, 6) Natasha.

I found heather at Walmart today and she is so cute! I love these dolls.

Loved my cameo 🖤

these are going to be more popular then rainbow high, I'm calling it now.

okay but the shadow high theme song SLAPS

Heather was my first SH doll.

Absolutely looove Shadow High! 🖤

It sounds like, “Jem and The Holograms vs The Misfits “⚡️

I am LIVING for this hair and this doll line! I hope I can get some for my home office!

I am honestly in love with these dolls and I think my ranking so far is 1.Natasha, 2. Nicole, 3. Luna, 4. Heather, 5. Shanelle, 6. Ash I'm definitely buying Natasha, and really wanna get Luna to go with my Sunny, and Nicole just speaks to me she's so cute?? Heather looks super cool and Shanelle looks glam af though so i also love? And Ash really does look nice, but I'm not really into the boy fashions in these?

Now I need an another set of 6 dolls
