We got spirit,
LET'S HEAR IT!
We got spirit, yes we do,
We got spirit, how 'bout you?
GOOOOOOO TEAM!
I cannot even describe how excited I was for this line. Being a cheerleader, Venus with a megaphone was close enough for me, although I'm upset that in the 'Scream Spirit' web episode, the new Fearleading squad recruits weren't wearing proper uniforms. That would have been an absolute dream for me!
Appearance:
Instead, each character had their own Monster High team t-shirt, but we'll get onto that later :P
As always, let's start with the hair! Venus's long hair is back! It reaches almost to her knees!
I loved Ghoul Spirit Venus's hair as soon as I laid eyes on it, that cute side fringe looks so adorable! I've noticed that as Venus's design progresses, the green in her hair gets considerably less. Promo images of the Ghoul Spirit Venus doll (as above) show these lovely, delicately placed green strands there in her fringe and at the front of her head...
The actual doll, however, has a big thick block of green fringe which was somewhat disappointing for me. Although it does look a lot like the web episode version of her.
Web episode Venus actually has a cool vine pattern in her shaved side too, which the doll doesn't have. Hmm...
Compared to the promo pictures, real Venus's makeup isn't nearly as nice. Promo Venus's makeup is lovely, shaped, glittery eye shadow (look back to the picture I used to talk about her hair, or the one below), but in actual fact you get a matte blob of mess, like on the picture above. Because she's face-on in the box (and because mine are NRFB) you don't really notice this all that much though. Her lips are her usual shade of hot pink :)
Venus wears little jewellery as usual, her signature green vine earring in her left ear, but on the right she wears a black vine earring. These would NOT be allowed in a real cheerleading squad ;) WAY too dangerous, but I will let that slide :P
Venus wears her own, personal Monster High team t-shirt, that she has customised with choppy sleeves and middle, a vine print on the chest and a sewn-on pocket on the front. The pocket is the same fabric as her mini skirt, her usual thorny rose print.
Venus wears loooovely pink (as usual) studded, open-toe boots, which I am quite a fan of with this outfit :)
Accessories:
Venus only has one accessory for the pep rally, and that's the blue megaphone :) I love the general pink-ness of her and the blue of the megaphone, it really brings out the school colours and shows real pride :D
I like:
How pretty this doll is
Her outfit
Her boots
Her megaphone
I dislike:
The thick lump of green in her fringe
The messy eye makeup
