This is another in the line of "updated" Monster High basic dolls, in that she is one of the first five dolls, but with a fresh, new outfit.
Pros:
-This Cleo has really awesome coloured hair. It's got the typical black with gold streaks, but also some very lovely teal thrown in as well. Her hair is also asymmetrically cut, which I find cute.
-Her shoes have little hourglasses for heels!
-Her outfit does have a few vaguely "ancient Egyptian" theme running through it in appearance. It maintains the teal and gold motif all throughout, which is nice. Even her makeup matches the beautiful teal scheme.
-This is one of the few Cleo's you can get without having to resort to buying the two-pack of her and Deuce, which is nice if you want to avoid doing that.
-She, along with most of the 2011 "School's Out" dolls, comes with a big, functional purse that you can actually open and close and put things in. Very nifty!
Cons:
-I'm not a big fan of the bright "bandage" pattern. They don't actually look anything like bandages, and given that Cleo explains in one of her diaries that she MUST always be wrapped in some bandages at all times "...or else", I was kind of saddened to see a lack of bandages on her that actually resembled bandages much.
All in all, not a bad purchase if you're a fan of Cleo, especially if you're looking to avoid buying that gift pack and spending extra money on two dolls if you really only want one.
