Mattel has partnered with RuPaul to launch a Monster High RuPaul Dragon Queen collector doll.
Designed in collaboration with RuPaul, the doll is inspired by ‘the balance of darkness and light in every person, and the beauty that arises from embracing what makes you unique’.
The RuPaul Dragon Queen doll comes fit with a black faux leather bodysuit overlayed with black gown, knee-high boots and fire singed wings. There’s also a headdress, dragon-inspired makeup, a crimson amulet necklace and two dragon bracelets.
In continued support of Monster High’s mission to encourage inclusion and acceptance through Monster High Project Belonging, the brand is also donating to the Ali Forney Center, a nonprofit close to RuPaul’s heart. The Ali Forney Center protects LGBTQ+ youth from the harms of homelessness and empowers them with the tools they need to be independent.
The Monster High RuPaul Dragon Queen doll is available on Amazon.com.
