Monster High's Skullector Collectible Series, just in time for Halloween, gets a new character from the already iconic "The Squid Game" series. In direct collaboration with Netflix, Mattel has brought to life one of the brightest and creepiest characters that captivated audiences with its intense storyline about survival and social criticism. Meet a robot Young-Hee, as fashion doll that embodies the creepy atmosphere of The Squid Game while maintaining the unique aesthetic of Monster High.
For those unfamiliar with The Squid Game, the show is about a death competition where financially strapped contestants play creepy childish games to win a huge cash prize. However, failure at any stage of the game means a fatal end. Young-Hee, the giant robotic doll from the episode "Red Light, Green Light," quickly became a symbol of the show's brutal unpredictability. Her innocent appearance and ability to detect movement make her both terrifying and unforgettable—the perfect inspiration for a Monster High doll.
Monster High's version of Young-Hee stays true to her screen persona, wearing her signature yellow and orange dress and neat ponytails. However, despite her childlike appearance, there are sweetly sinister details in her design. Her glittery ladder dress is accessorized with skulls for a playful yet spooky Monster High vibe. Her Mary Jane shoes look adorable, but are actually a reminder of the deadly game she controls.
One of the features of this doll is the ability to rotate its head 360 degrees, just like in the series when Young-Hee is looking for rule breakers. This detail allows for dramatic and realistic poses that enhance the sense of danger surrounding her. The doll is fully articulated (11 points), which allows you to set dynamic poses, reproducing the tension of the game, where one wrong action means defeat.
The doll also comes with a purse in the form of a piggy bank, an accessory that seems cute at first glance, but hides dark undertones. In the world of Squid Games, money is the main prize for those who survive and this purse opens to hint at this "winning prize". It's a reminder that life or death is at stake, and Monster High skillfully weaves this theme into the doll's design.
Despite her cute appearance, this schoolgirl is not innocent at all. With every detail carefully crafted to reflect her ruthless nature, the Monster High Skullector Squid Game Young-Hee doll is a true tribute to the dark themes of The Squid Game and Monster High's unique approach to horror. From her creepy ability to detect movement to her twisted schoolgirl charm, this doll perfectly captures the creepy essence of the character and the show.
For Monster High collectors or Squid Game fans, this doll is a real must-have. It combines the tense thriller of the series with the creepy-glamorous style of Monster High. Whether she's standing on a shelf or striking a sinister pose, this doll is a unique addition to the Skullector collection that shouldn't be missed.
