Ever After High - Hat-Tastic Playset and Maddie Doll Review

Hello! It's been a while since I've updated. I recently bought Hat-Tastic Maddie with the playset off of Amazon on sale for $22. I've been wanting this playset for a while but the regular price of $35 was just too much for me since I already have Maddie's basic doll in my collection. I don't want to buy too many Ever After High or Monster High dolls anymore, so I've become more picky about which dolls I get.

If I don't already have a certain character but I really want him/her, then I'll get it at regular price. But I can wait a few months for the prices to go down if it's a character I already have. (: I may just give in for Through the Wood Ashlynn Ella though. She's gort! ...uhm... I mean great. lol d:

Front of the box.

Back of the box.

Side box art.

I already took everything out and was about to fold up the box when I saw Maddie's art on the side of the box. How did I miss it? It's too cute!

So, first I'm going to show the doll. She does not come with a stand, which may bother collectors that like to display their dolls, but I'm pretty happy about it. I like to keep my dolls in a small side table drawer and if I do display them, I like them sitting down or in some sort of scene setup. I usually just throw the stands away now; I have so many!

Front view.

She's holding a teacup and saucer ring.

The set comes with a ring that you can wear. Unfortunately, it's too small for the adult collector, and it only fits perfectly on my pinkie. (Unless you're an adult that has really small fingers.)

Back view.

Tea bag earrings.

I don't know what her necklace is supposed to be of, but I'm guessing flowers?

Black glove hands.

Clip on bows.

Black netted stockings.

Gorgeously detailed shoes!

Alright, so next I'm going to show the playset.

Everything still wrapped.

Tea cups, saucers, and cakes!

Here's the table with nothing on it yet except the cupcake stand. I'm not sure if the books come off, I remember not wanting to break it if they don't. They were already on the table while I was taking them out of the box. The cupcake stand can come off.

One of the legs is shorter than the others, so it has plates underneath to help level out the table. I thought this was a cute detail.

Without teacup.

The books have little pegs so you can attach the teacups or the tea pot to them.

With teacup.

I added the tea pot on the red book.

Messy papers everywhere.

My cupcake stand is a little lop-sided. I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be, but since it's a Wonderland playset, I kind of like it.

The chair.

The bench.

It opens up.

The bench can open up to fit all your accessories. If you place them right, you should be able to fit everything in here (even the teacup ring).

The bench and the side table tree were what I was most looking forward to!

Side table tree.

Chandelier.

Clock design.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. Especially since I was able to get it so cheap. (: I'm loving the look of all the Ever After High playsets so I'm definitely going to buy more in the future.

I also have the Lizzie Hearts Spring Unsprung dorm room playset and I'll be sure to show pictures of that soon!

Everything all together.
