I was waiting for this set to come out! I had even prepurchased the ADD-ON packs, before owning the starter kit! I ordered it the minute it became available for retail prices, and even snagged a discount and free shipping! As I waited for it to arrive, I read the scant reviews, and my enthusiasm went out the door. Then the day came that it arrived! I took it for a test spin, and found the body tattoos are fairly easy to get right, even a nine year old could easily do it right! However, the faces ARE a bit more difficult, but after using the least appealing set of eyes and lips as PRACTICE, then moving on to another set, I found it became easier with practice! As such, I think the set would frustrate children under the age of 13 or 14, so I am standing by my original "Intended for Adults" stand on the product. As it is, the clothing options that came with the set are much nicer than most standard Create a Monster outfits, especially the shoes! I wish they would add earrings, and accessories with the Create a Monster doll kits! The dolls just seem less appealing than the regular doll line, and I think jewelry has a lot to do with it! The other downside: the facial features have less detail as they are decals! The lips are not sculpted, nor is the material the head is constructed out of conducive to "face carving" techniques that many doll customizers utilize, myself included! HOWEVER, I saw another owner of this set leave her doll essentially faceless! She used the body tattoos, and even decorated the face with stars, but left her as a faceless ghoul. I loved it! I will likely have one faceless ghoul too now! In short, this set has some limitations that can be overcome with some positive thinking, and creativity!

I found this item at a local store on clearance, so I grabbed it. It was so much fun! The first face that we put on did come out a little crooked, admittedly, but it was the first try. All of the rest of the tattoos went on easily and nicely. The item is NOT hard to use at all. There are small arrows that show where to position the sponge holder. Two LED lights flash to show that you are setting the tattoos in place. When they stop flashing, its done. All you really have to do is read the instructions and it's very simple to use.

ENJOY!!!

Very good toy with a lot of creativity.

Each time that you create a monster that seem like to get a NEW doll.

The skin still green, but the possibility are endless.

Just take care to adjust the picture of the face on the right place when you use the Design Lab for the first time, otherwise the face will be shifted.

I am a adult collector and this is my favorite items of all my Monster high's collection.

Honest reviews on Monster High Create-A-Monster Design Lab

This toy is very unique and lots of fun! My girls and I found it very easy to use. It took about 30 seconds to set it up, and about 2 minutes to look over the toy and directions. I don't understand the other reviews that say this was hard to use. If you follow the simple directions it works wonderfully. My 7 year old was able to use it properly after watching me. It comes with lots of fun tattoos. It is just so unique that's what I really live about it!

I bought this for my niece for her "Birthday" because she is obsessed with her "Monster High Dolls"....She absolutely loves this "Creat-A-Monster Design Lab" and I thought it's prettty cool myself....Since it comes with at least "100 Tattoos" to create you own personal "Monster High Doll"....The doll comes easily a part...Works just as the video above...It takes only a few minutes for the applique tattoos to dry...They don't rub of unless we used a little soap and water...Then you can redesign her again and again....She gets many hours of play with this new edition...They are durable dolls because her older ones are still holding together with the way she plays with them..This lab case and handle comes already with 3 AG13 Button cell batteries and is just as durable she has been playing with it for months...No doll stand included but she has many any way from her other dolls...

It's educational for her because her "Aunt" has 2 full tattoo sleeves which she always interested in and "encourages imagination"..This a safe way to play and just pure fun..You can place "new Tattoo designs" over old ones to make a whole different look...Wipe the doll down completely for her to start new...

The Tattoos are made in the USA and the doll is made in China....Safe for children ages 6 and up...

I also bought her an extra Create-A-Monster Doll, "Mystical" that comes with "sparkly tattoos"....You use this doll with the lab the same exact way....She is happy.....
