Mattel has cornered the market on Barbie-style dolls based on horror icons with their always growing Monster High line, but toy company Jakks Pacific is now looking to get in on the fun.
It’s a pretty clear cut case of one toy company copying the homework of another toy company, but the upcoming Doll Haus of Dread line from Jakks Pacific is pretty cool in its own right.
Photographs have surfaced this week of four dolls in the upcoming toy line…
- Pinhead from Hellraiser
- Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th
- Ghostface from Scream
- Billy the Puppet from Saw
Much like Mattel’s Monster High line, these Doll Haus of Dread dolls reimagine the horror icons with a killer sense of style, and each one comes with custom themed shoes and accessories.
The Hellraiser doll is wearing a highly unique Pinhead beret and holding a Puzzle Box purse, while the Jason Universe doll is more of a Crystal Lake camp counselor dressed up as Jason.
The Ghostface doll is easily the coolest in the line, mostly because it looks like a dead ringer for Drew Barrymore’s Casey Becker from the original Scream… dressed up as Ghostface!
Jigsaw’s Billy puppet from the Saw franchise makes a natural transition into the world of fashion, with swirly makeup, saw blade heels, and a tricycle-shaped purse completing the look.
We don’t know at this time when these dolls are going to be released or if more horror icons will be added to the mix, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled. Stay tuned for updates.
