MONSTER HIGH G3 Venus the BEST so far... 

I am not sure I understand the bottom half of your comment, but monster high has always been about inclusion. Why make Lagoona Australian in Gen one? Because that’s where the Great Barrier Reef is located. Why give Howleen a werewolf brush in Gen one? Her hair is different from others which is very much how African American people are with their hair and all of the wolf family is very black coded as characters even though they are just werewolves at the end of the day. Bottom line is they don’t have to be afro centric, but they are and I see no issue being with the fact her monster type has nothing to do with real life culture maybe besides her last name being McFlytrap and the Mc part being Scottish. It just adds diversity to the dolls, and since her monster is based of the little shop of horrors Venus flytrap monster, her being how she is now I take no issue with. People like seeing dolls that look like them, even if it is a green monster for children. People still like seeing that hair type. I know I do being African American myself. It would be one hundred steps back if this applied to every doll made by monster high. If we didn’t give them culture and take inspiration from the real world monster high wouldn’t be what it is today. That’s just my two cents. Venus makes a lot of people happy, including myself. She’s also a monster and a plant monster, it’s just cool. She’s cool. If their culture and race has nothing to do with them as a monster, I see nothing wrong with her now being black coded. They could probably be the same character going forward. They just look different, and different is good in monster high for character design.
