For some reason, there dont seem to be ANY number printed on either the box or the instructions on the Monster High sets.
Unless something like "DKY23" from the back of the instruction is a set-number? In that case, these are the sets:
Set DRC60 Glam Ghoul Band (8 figs)
Set DKY23 Biteology Class (Lagoona fig)
Set DPK32 Stage Fright (Catty Noir fig)
General notes on Monster High: The figs are 7 centimetres high, as compared to the LEGO Friends minidolls 5 centimetres. So they are very tall (in part because of their impossible high heels!), and unfortunately, the hair is not compatible with minifigs. They accessories are compatible, though, so if your minifigs needs guitars....! Colours are not surprisingly Black, Teal, and Dark Purple, with basic bricks in shimmering Grey/Dark Lilac or Dark Purple/Dark Pink.
And I must admit, that my knowledge of Monster High is nil; never seen a show or read a comic.
Glam Ghoul Band: 182 pieces, 8 dolls (Catty Noir, Lagoona Blue, Venus McFly, Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, Cleo de Nile, Spectra Vondergeist).
The set consists of 3 parts: an electrical piano (printed tile!), a very basic setpiece with two microphones, and the drummer/singer setpiece.
Box front: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6617130
It does what it says: a very nice rendering of an 8-woman band, with 3 guitar-players, one drummer, and 4 singers. I could have preferred a bass-player, and maybe a saxophone player, but its working well.
On the 1 to 10 scale I would give this a 6.
Stage Fright: 162 pieces, 1 doll. The set consists of a golden stage (with sound), and a background reminiscent of a graveyard entrance. The Dark Purple/Dark Pink bricks looks good, but are almost too dark to really appreciate the shimmering.
On the 1 to 10 scale I would rate this a 4 (despite the sound element, as it IS a rather small set).

Biteology Class: 194 pieces, 1 doll. The set consists of an open study room, with a corner hinged, so it can open. There is a small triangular piece with an upright pink coffin; this piece can be stacked loosely on top of the study.
One wall of the study is revolving, so it can shift between a blackboard on one side, and a hose on the other. There are a few stickers, but they are pre-placed, so they almost looks like printed bricks.
On the 1 to 10 scale I would rate this a 7, as it has many details, even on the back of the walls.

So, this is my experience of the Monster High series: nice sets, very detailled dolls, but not much potential in MOCs.
