So lets start with: when you first did the original ghouls, did you think it was gonna turn into this?" Garrett Sander: "We always hoped it would be big, but we never dreamed it would be this big. It's just been amazing how... what a monster it's become. We love all the fans and seeing them and getting to meet them—that's the best part of this. It's just amazing, there's so many people coming through who love it." Mommy: ""

It's just been amazing how... what a monster it's become. We love all the fans and seeing them and getting to meet them—that's the best part of this. It's just amazing, there's so many people coming through who love it." Gracie: "Were there any characters that were originally dropped from the cast?" Garrett Sander: "The only one that we had that we didn't was, actually, Operetta was originally in the role of Cleo and we switched them and put Cleo as Deuce's girlfriend." Gracie: "Oh, so that is why you got Operetta to go after Deuce!" Garrett Sander: "Yes." Mommy: "So, growing up, you were into art?" Garrett Sander: "Yes." Mommy: "Is that how it all came about?" Garrett Sander: "Yes." Mommy: "I know that you actually were a personal shopper for FOA Schwarz." Garrett Sander: "Yes, I worked at FOA Schwarz in LA." Mommy: "So are you going to go visit up there if they let you out of your booth." Garrett Sander: "Hopefully, yes. It depends on the time." Mommy: "So what led... how did you end up at Mattel designing dolls?" Garrett Sander: "Well, first at school I studied Fine Arts and Graphic Design and I went into packaging design at Mattel. I did packaging for Winx Club, Pixel Chicks, My Scene; I worked on that. And that's where I carried out the idea for Monster High." Mommy: "So you went and everything and said I've got this idea for these really cool-" Garrett Sander: "I was already there at Mattel and I was working there and they were and they were looking for a new brand and then I got in and they said "Yeah, well, lets try and see." Mommy: "Yeah, that worked out well! You had something to ask, Gracie?" Gracie: "If there were any characters that were changed the most from their original design, who would they be?" Garrett Sander: "A lot of them have stayed pretty close to their original designs. We switched outfits a little bit, but the base of the characters has stayed pretty much the same and consistent throughout." Gracie: "Who do you think has changed the most from the original design?" Garrett Sander: "Well, the original Clawdeen; her ears were a headband and you could take them off, but I liked-I wanted them to be a part of the head so I worked really hard to get them to be part of her head sculpt. And if you look at very early pictures you'll notice that her ears are not the same and that's why. Because they were prototype ears." Mommy: "Oh, that's really cool! Wow. So Gracie, what other questions do you have for Garrett?" Gracie: "Where did you get the idea for Catty Noir?" Garrett Sander: "We wanted to introduce a song in "13 Wishes", so we needed a monster pop star. She's a black cat and there's superstition so she wears a broken mirror dress and broken mirror shoes and does everything in 13s." Mommy: "That is so cool. Now, here's my question about the movie. Where was Spectra in the DJ booth? Did I like miss something?" Garrett Sander: "Well, Spectra flies through the booth." Mommy: "Oh, okay, so that's why I never saw her, like, spinning records. That was just my little personal idea." Gracie: "Another question I have: Are we getting shadow dolls?" Garrett Sander: "There are no plans for the shadow dolls right now. Sorry." Mommy: "How about Whisp?" Garrett Sander: "There are no plans for Whisp either." Mommy: "Okay, we asked." Garrett Sander: "I'm sorry." Gracie: "I'll make customs!" Mommy: "Okay, so I've got a fan right here. Do you have a question for Garrett while we are here?." Fan: "How did you start off Monster High?" Garrett Sander: "It actually started in 2007, so we worked three years before it launched. We were working on the characters, the story, the background; creating the whole world of Monster High." Gracie: "Oh, so here's another question. Will we be seeing an angel or a devil doll?" Garrett Sander: "There's no plans for an angel or a devil." Gracie: "I'll make customs for those too!" Mommy: "" Garrett Sander: "" Mommy: "Favorite food?" Garrett Sander: "Pumpkin pie." Mommy: "" Garrett Sander: ""
