Details of the Adelaide and Red Skullector Set
The new Monster High Skullector set includes two dolls, each standing 10.5 inches tall with 11 points of articulation for posing. Adelaide is dressed in a rabbit-camo printed jumpsuit, adorned with handcuff earrings and a chain belt, while Red features a striking scarlet jumpsuit complemented by paper doll earrings and a scissor belt. Accessories accompanying the dolls consist of two rabbits, a paper doll chain, a pair of scissors, and a Certificate of Authenticity to confirm the set’s exclusive nature.
Context of the Characters from the Film Us
Jordan Peele’s film, starring Lupita Nyong’o in dual roles, follows Adelaide Wilson’s unsettling return to her childhood home along the North California coastline. Haunted by past trauma, Adelaide and her family encounter four mysterious figures standing on their driveway after a tense day at the beach. These figures reveal themselves as their doppelgängers, sparking a terrifying confrontation. The dolls represent these haunting counterparts, capturing the film’s eerie and unsettling atmosphere.
Expansion of Monster High’s Horror-themed Doll Line
This release is part of Monster High’s growing series of horror and gothic figures, joining previous dolls inspired by The Corpse Bride, Elvira, M3GAN, and David from The Lost Boys. By adding Adelaide and Red, Monster High continues to blend pop culture with haunting aesthetics, appealing to collectors who appreciate darker, unsettling themes.
