The Brick Miser: Advent Calendar 2017: Mega Bloks Monster High: Day 16

Day 16: Even More Presents!













Because four giant boxes aren't enough for kids of famous monsters(as well as the Monster High students), we have yet another door full of gift boxes! ...Well, at least these are different designs this time.













First, we have this big honker, which looks to be a taller version of the one from Day 4, but with different colors. I do like how big it is and that they decided to use some bigger bricks to repeat the design. Now it looks big enough to carry a corpse! ...Which, given the tone of this series, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Probably one of the students as well. ...Who was already a corpse before she climbed into the box, because that's how this universe works. ...This joke has officially flopped.













 Not too fond of the choice of bow, though. I didn't like it the last two times, and it's still not doing anything for me here. Again, if they've proven they can mold bows and Monster High logos, either one looks much more decorative than repurposing what looks like plumbing hardware...













The next present is simply a plate on top of a cylinder to create the barest resemblance to a present. ...But it's still cute. I like the little bone-bow design on the top and that both pieces are quite glittery. It's a shining example of how brick cosmetics can go a long way to make a simple design look unique. ...A lot better than last year's bland Jelly Jar at least.













And there you have even more presents for the Monster High crew, and hopefully the last door containing them. If this is the final door of present, I'm glad they decided to go out on a high note with some new designs and some unique glitter molding for the bricks. ...And they've officially received more presents than I can look forward to this year... Speaking of which, let's see what tomorrow presents us with!
