This CAM set rocks. The design concept is awesome. You get a mummy girl, and a gorgon(snake) girl. I think Mattel has finally started to listen to it's customers, and it shows. In this set you get two complete dolls. Two torsos, two sets of arms, two sets of legs, two outfits, and wait for it.....this pack comes with TWO WIGS!! Finally you can build your dolls without one girl having to go bald. In this set the Gorgon girl wig is made of molded plastic and has snakes protruding out everywhere. I cannot begin to express how cool this is. I am impressed with mummy girls wig also. In the past the CAM wigs have been dissapointing. They come smashed, or you can see the icky plastic liner underneath. This one is very nice. Mine was very smooth and long, completely hid the clear plastic liner, and sat very nicely on mummies head. It is long and straight, mostly purple with a few black streaks, and blunt cut bangs. As for the actual doll, mummy girl has "wraps" actually molded into all the plastic of her body...a very nice detail. She has a very light layer of gold "dust" over her grey mummy body. Her face is very lovely with turquoise eyes that are thickly lined with "kohl" and gold shadow. She has deep red lips. The only thing I noticed is that her head is a slightly different color than her body. Her body is more a blue grey, where her head is a true grey. She wears a pink one shouldered dress with hyroglyphic print. Gorgon girl is my favorite in this set, and quite frankly my favorite CAM doll ever!! Her light green irridescent skin is molded with scales everywhere. Even her face has etched scales and snakelike nose. On her belly and torso, she has wide bands molded into her skin that look just like a real snake. I cannot believe the attention to detail, it is amazing. She has dark coral/orange lips, matching orange eyeshadow, and yellow reptilian eyes. She wears a purple dress with a "scale" print and green trim on the bottom. Like I said above, her wig is molded plastic and features a side ponytail made of snakes. Think Deuces hair but for a girl, and much more detailed. There is only one small complaint that I have with this set. There is no brush, still only one stand, and only one pair of shoes. The shoes are a pair of metallic gold peep toed booties. They seem to go more with mummy girl as they look like "wraps". I just don't understand why Mattel would go so far as to provide two outfits, two wigs, two of everything, and then only one pair of shoes. Just one more little step Mattel, give us two pair of shoes, and make sure every doll has a stand and this would be PERFECT. I would even be okay with them offering stands and shoe packs sold seperately. Still, I am soooooo in love with this set and I would reccommend it to anyone. Now I am on the lookout for the icegirl/blob set...

The Mummy and Gorgon Girls are part of the second wave of Monster High Create-A-Monster Starter Packs. Each pack comes with the parts to make two complete dolls. These dolls are fun to put together and are a great way to add backgrounder characters to a Monster High Collection. This pack comes with one doll stand and one pair of shoes. Both dolls have interchangeable parts (hands, arms, legs, heads, clothing, wigs) and can be used with other Create-A-Monster Starter Packs and Add-On Packs.
The Gorgon Girl
The Gorgon Girl is one of the most detailed CAM figures to date. This girl is light green, with yellow eyes that have slit pupils and coral colored eye makeup and lips. Her face, neck and torso have been sculpted with large scaling and she has small scaling on the rest of her body. The Gorgon comes with a hard plastic green wig that fits snuggly onto her head and is made up of eight coiled serpents. One of the details I love about this girl is her lack of ears, a nod to her snake heritage. Her hands are a slightly softer plastic than her body and are in a loosely cupped pose. The Gorgon comes with a purple mini dress in a snake scale pattern trimmed in green. This girl with her serious facial expression is so creepy cool that I think the pack is worth it just to add her to my collection.
The Mummy Girl
The arms, legs and torso of the Mummy girls have bandage wrapping sculpted into them. There is a small amount of gold coloring swirled into the molded plastic, and I like the effect. This girl has kohl makeup with a little Egyptian art flair, gold eye shadow, crimson lips and bright turquoise eyes. She comes with a pink off the shoulder dress that is printed with tiny hieroglyphic symbols. The one pair of gold high heeled shoes was clearly meant for her and have a bandage motif. The Mummy has a purple and black wig that is a vast improvement over the wigs of the previous CAM sets. This wig fits nicely with no plastic band showing and is very silky.
Additional
The only real complaint I have as far as quality of these dolls is that the elbows on both were extremely stiff, so much that I was very afraid that I might break the joints. My advice is to look on the forearms and see that on one side of the joint there is a small plastic tab and the other side of the joint will be rounded. Bend toward the rounded side away from the tab to loosen the joint. Once I did this the arms loosened up and can now be posed.
I was able to purchase this item at a retail store for $24.99.

This create a monster set is really fun. I love that the new sets have 2 torsos, so with this set you can make 2 complete dolls. It only has one doll stand and one set of shoes. The Gorgon wig is molded plastic and the ponytail part turns. My daughters that are 10 and 7 love it.
