head transplants Betty is a menace. The first time we played Barbies, she brushed my doll’s hair and ripped the head off. I’d bought the doll as a prop. The doll wasn’t that old. She’d never been played with. Betty took one swipe and ripped off the doll’s head... I get that wings are obnoxious and Monster High doll’s heads are comically big, but I don’t know what happened to the boys. I’m not even sure why Clawdeen’s neck is so violently snapped in the apparent attempt to take off the G.I. Joe’s shirt... I gave Troy Bolton a new body, but no one will ever really be the same. —MV
