Yellow Diamond

Yellow Diamond is a fortune-telling gypsy woman who travels at high speeds with rollerblade wheels and tail feathers. Other monstas respect her and make long pilgrimages to find her in order to have their futures foretold. She expects payment in diamonds, and her idol is Elizabeth Taylor. Yellow Diamond is one of several handmade monstas that hatched from eggs discovered by a missionary boy named Leroy after a volcanic eruption in Papua New Guinea. “She is familiar and foreign simultaneously. The two seemingly opposite cultures of Papua New Guinea and Hanna Barbera initially appear to have nothing in common, until you see them successfully reflected in Yellow Diamond's character,” Monsta Funk told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 2008.
