Lets talk the Grady Twins

What collectors are saying about the Re-release…

Who Are the Grady Twins?

These eerie twins are inspired by the Grady Sisters from Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror film The Shining. In Monster High form, they’re reimagined with that signature spooky-cute twist: matching baby-blue dresses, delicate lace, and chilling accessories.

The 2025 Re-Release: What’s Different?

  • The set retails for $100 (or £106 in the UK)

  • The re-release packaging is designed to evoke the infamous hallway. Even better, it comes with a “Second Release” sticker — so you can distinguish this run from the 2020 edition!

  • Each twin is about 10 inches tall and has 11 points of articulation.

  • Iconic extras include hatchet hair clips, a Room 237 key, a yellow ball, a page from Jack’s manuscript, and platform Mary Janes with hedge-maze-inspired heels.

  • Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Resale / Demand: According to resale-market trackers, the re-release went quickly, and prices on the secondary market are already climbing — some listings are hitting $180–$200!

““The characters may be iconic … but the dolls themselves … look boring … and honestly … not worth that price.””

““I think what’s more exciting than these dolls getting released again is the implication that past Skullectors can get re-released.””
