I guess they have their reasons but I agree, Webarella should be a wide release. I still think Mattel should release a graphic novel telling Polterghoul's story -- I'd so be into that! They could use it to tie all the Power Ghouls stories together and flesh out the alternate universe they've created in the PG comics.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614336806159509795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-32430892118404770602013-05-16T14:55:39.422-05:002013-05-16T14:55:39.422-05:00i agree with you... this line is one of my favorit...i agree with you... this line is one of my favorites to date !! it is really bugging me that i wont have the chance to have DF ghoulia and PG wydowna to add to it, but i cant wait to see the continuation of the story but really when you think about it PG wydowna is in PG spectras comic stealing the collar of chaos and i think to actually get the whole story you have to have PG wydowna because in the comics thus far DF ghoulia is gathering everyone together for a major and cool event !! it is very smart of mattel (advertising wise) to release special exclusives for SDCC because it creates that hype but all in all wouldn't mattel benefit more from a wide release of these dolls because in this situation mattel is only getting money from the scalpers and the select few and then the scalpers are the ones making the money so where does mattel benefit in that ? anyways i have noticed that mattel has made one super hero PG and one villain PG an SDCC exclusive !! VERY SMART it makes you buy the others in that PG line and then wish you had the exclusives to complete the group !!

She's really something!<br /><br />I love the way the dolls were posed in the boxes -- very fitting for their superhero theme. But it's virtually impossible for me to leave a doll in the box!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614336806159509795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-21838900495862695272013-04-30T23:44:44.407-05:002013-04-30T23:44:44.407-05:00I think this version of Spectra would have benefit...I think this version of Spectra would have benefitted from the darker, more vibrant hair colour of her Ghoul's Night Out doll.<br />Having said that, I still think she's pretty awesome.<br /><br />If I had the Power Ghouls dolls, I'd probably leave them in the box. They're already posed so dramatically & the box artwork just looks so cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837248507373134399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-65641395840199024132013-04-22T16:30:31.278-05:002013-04-22T16:30:31.278-05:00What I'm talking about here is just in that la...What I'm talking about here is just in that last, small panel, on the last page of the comic. Spectra is standing next to who I'm assuming is DF Ghoulia, looking into a sort of vortex. It's this final drawing that definitely has some visual symbolism going on. Nothing overt, of course. This kind of symbolism has appeared in comic books for decades. Not even most adults pick up on it, but if you're into symbolism it stands out. I definitely wouldn't say what I'm talking about in this case is *aimed* at adults, it's just a piece of art. So much art works on both literal and symbolic levels, especially comic art.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614336806159509795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922378775615192491.post-111714039949959062013-04-22T16:17:12.148-05:002013-04-22T16:17:12.148-05:00"It opens on a levitating Spectra deep in med..."It opens on a levitating Spectra deep in meditation and ends on an abrupt, mysterious note, teeming with symbolic eroticism. I'm not even joking."<br /><br />I read Polterghoul's comic book over and over again and still can't find/understand this symbolic eroticism you are talking about! You say that sometimes Mattel add subtle things that are aimed towards adults, but I am an adult collector as well and do not see these things. I know this may be a weird question, but please tell me your thoughts because I'm still puzzled over it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428116647771823933noreply@blogger.com
