“Who disturbs our slumber... party!!” |
The Dead Tired doll line features the characters in their sleepwear, with the theme of the line being slumber parties specifically. The assortment is the only other than the 'Signature' one to be ongoing. The releases so far include Lagoona Blue with her Hydration Station, Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Cleo de Nile, and Ghoulia Yelps, whom were released in Early June, 2011, Abbey Bominable, Clawdeen Wolf, a second Draculaura, whom were released in Mid June, 2012, and Robecca Steam, Spectra Vondergeist, as well as a second Lagoona Blue, whom were released in Early September, 2013.
Name
Dead Tired was filed for trademark on September 08, 2010.
Assortment relations
The entirety of the Dead Tired line is presented as also including the Mirror Bed, the Jewelry Box Coffin, Clawdeen Wolf with her Room to Howl, and the Bed, but none of those items are actually marketed as belonging to Dead Tired. Hence, the Monster High Wiki does not treat them as part of the Dead Tired lineup, but this is not a position shared by the fandom at large.
A few accessories of the Dead Tired line have been reused, mostly within the line itself and by its complementary playsets.

Logs
All doll-only Dead Tired releases come with a pack-in quote and a quote on the back of the box. The 2011 releases also come with a card that has a picture of the relevant character on one side and a sleepover checklist on the other.
As with most playsets, Lagoona and the Hydration Station have a number of quotes printed on the front and back of the box. On the side are three small scenes printed with accompanying text.
Fiction
The outfits and haircuts of the 2011 dolls first showed up in "Fright On!", with the exception of Ghoulia's. They reappeared in the Volume 3 webisode "Game of DeNile", which left out Lagoona's outfit as well as the new outfits of Draculaura and Clawdeen, but did feature Ghoulia's and Abbey's looks. Ghoulia was drawn with her 'Basic' hair and glasses, though.
The Hydration Station has a complex history in the cartoon series. Its model was used in "Mad Science Fair" and "Varsity Boos", but neither of those appearances are meant as the Hydration Station. The Hydration Station properly debuted in "Fright On!", and hasn't been featured since.
Notes
- The ice cream and magazine accessories that come with Abbey Bominable and Draculaura are erroneously switched around in the stockphotos.
- The 2012 Dead Tired slippers' fangs are black, while the eyes are not colored yellow, unlike the 2011 and 2013 dolls.
- Lagoona Blue's second doll's stockphoto shows her having the same slippers as her first doll, but with differently colored fins. The actual doll comes with recasts of Ghoulia's shoes and has thus no fins.
