#tweens
I’m so happy that @mattelcreations and scary-talented @rebecula13 finally brought us back our ghouls in all their glory! I made this fanart months ago. As soon as I heard the rumors about the possibility of releasing collector’s MH dolls inspired by two fantastic movies “It” and “The Shining”, I had to make my version of Grady tweens. I was inspired by so many details from the movie and the scenes where Grady tweens appeared. Can you spot them all? ♀️
