Garret Sander, the original creator of the popular Monster High line, is returning to the world of toys with a new line of dolls called Gravestone Guardians.
These dolls are fashioned more after the Golden Girl dolls of the 1980s (or She-Ra.) They are 5.5″ tall and seem to also be based on monsters.
The first Gravestone Guaradians doll launched on Backerkit is Vampsyphone.
Vampsyphone comes with shoulder armor, a skirt, a Vampsteel blade, a tiara, and a doll stand.
The action doll is $30 (+ shipping added later.) Early birds can get the doll for $25 (plus shipping.)
Shipping cost estimates are as follows:
A goal of $45k has been set for this campaign, and it’s currently at a bit over $5,700 with 28 days to go.
She has rooted, brushable hair! I love that. Vampsyphone also has six points of articulation in the head, shoulders, waist, and hips.
As a fan of both Monster High and She-Ra, I LOVE these!
Production Timeline
Estimates place these dolls as shipping around April 2o25.
Here is the write-up:
“Let’s bring the first Gravestone Guardians Action Doll to life! Gravestone Guardians is the latest concept from Toy Designer Garrett Sander, best know for creating Monster High!
Gravestone Guardians is the combination of my love of monsters & glamorous fantasy warriors!
The Gravestone Guardians are the last hope as ghoulactic defenders of the Planet Monsteria, against the Evil Queen Infestatia and her Swarm Army!
Queen Infestatia has taken over much of the Ghoulverse. Turning the inhabitants of planet after planet into her mindless drones, adding them to her ever-growing ruthless Swarm Army!
Using the powers of the ancient Gravestones, can the Gravestone Guardians stop the evil invasion and save their Planet, and the entire Ghoulverse?”
Other dolls are planned for the series.
There are two teams. The heroes are called the Gravestone Guardians, and the villains are called the Evil Swarm Army, which is based more on insects.
Gravestone Guardians include Vampsyphone, Skulltania, Boltessa, Ghostav, Wrapture, Rockondra, and Diemond.
The Evil Swarm Army characters include Queen Infestatia, General Odora,
