Nefera, finally!

Postby kenaiqueen » Sat Jul 25, 2015 10:54 pm

Been looking for this girl for a while now and she might be my last MH since none of the newer ones are tempting me. I got her from Amazon for only $20 and no shipping since I have Prime.
Image
Positives: Love her face, love her hair, very cool silver stand/hairbrush altho gold would have matched better.
Image
Negatives: Jury is still out over her green 'gauntlet' arms and hands and the gold bustier thingy is poorly designed. It interferes with her arm movement, the way the earring hangs and with the stand's waist clip.

But I'm very happy to be able to add her to my collection. Now she needs a new name. She's apparently evil in the story line. I may have to find her a wicked name. Maybe Anck-Su-Namun from the Mummy movies?

LOL - I got her too, and I HATE those pre-molded arms :( time to figure out how to replace them with better ones.

I was wondering that myself. She's definitely bigger than the usual MH girls which I think will make finding some that work a bit difficult. The original Neferas are ridiculously priced on evilbay.

Only Nefera, Clawdeen, and the Headmistress come in that size. The color changing CAM sets might be that tall.

In Clawdeen pics I've seen, she looks like the same size as the regular MH girls and Headmistress is very pale. I don't think either of those choices would work. Paint might work but the texture would still be there. I'm thinking a whole new body might be the thing. It's her face & hair I like best.

Yea, her head will probably look fine on one of the shorter bodies, and then something creative can be done with her body and a different head - good thought :)

My Monsters are picked up for the moment but Clawdeen is Nefera size, look up pics of the Wolf Pack set, and the Headmistress is closer to Deuce's color.

If you swap forearms and hands she'll look like she's wearing gloves.

Actually, I think it's Clawdia that's taller. I have no idea why they made the names for the wolves all so similar; it's confusing. :?
This page is quite useful; if you scroll down they have a list of all the dolls with unusual body types. http://monsterhigh.wikia.com/wiki/Dolls
That said, I think another Nefera is probably still your best bet for a body-swap because I don't think any of the other big girls have the same skin tone.

The problem with using another Nefera is that they are so bloody expensive for the originals. The Clawdia is a possibility tho.

Found it! You can get replacement parts from Mattel(Why didn't I think of this sooner?). Nefera's arms are just $4. https://store.mattel.com/ProductParts.aspx?productid=W9115&sec=10796&tx=103&cat=139 :D
