If you have ever attended San Diego Comic-Con, you probably remember seeing (or maybe even waiting in) the line at Mattel’s booth to purchase some of the convention-exclusive merchandise. Amongst their library of popular franchises is Monster High, a series which will be the focus of two of the booth’s exclusives this year.

SDCC16 GhostBusters Frankie

Perhaps the most interesting of the two is Frankie Stein as a Ghost Buster, complete with mini Slimer figurine. This item most likely hopes to capitalize on the buzz from the Ghost Busters reboot which will debut this summer. I will say, of all the mashups Mattel could have chosen, this one does work well.

SDCC16 Robecca and Hexiciah

The next exclusive is actually a two-pack, starring the steampunk-inspired daughter and father duo, Robecca Steam and Hexiciah Steam. Adding in the father to the bundle was a creative choice and I will be interested to see fans’ reactions.

Pricing for the two items is not currently known. Mattel’s booth number hasn’t been listed yet either. Keep your eyes on Geekscape for additional SDCC news as it trickles in.

The end of the world won’t come in the form of Rick Moranis, but actually a guy in a sparkly trenchcoat sporting extreme coke nails and a penchant for underaged girls. Which is funny, because watching 1989’s Monster High would make even the biggest horror fanatic wish for planetary destruction, just so they wouldn’t have to finish it. Lucky for you, we watched it and are here as a cautionary tale. Bring your rolling papers for the monstrous weed plant and your Apple II to replace your dead pal’s head, we’re playing the Basketball Game of the Millennium on this week’s Horror Movie Night!
