I've seen these skins in action several times in Monsterhearts 2 (including Sawyer Rankin's participation in the session), and they're fun to see in action, along with playing off of.
For example, the Angel's use of an Integrity stat gives the playbook just enough mechanical distinction to set it apart from the vanilla Skins, while staying lean enough that the Angel remains on theme as the holier-than-thou kid who's grappling for their self-worth via unsustainable expectations.
In general, these Skins distinguish themselves from the pack without succumbing to features bloat, and the descriptions are sharply edited and ripe with inspiration.
If you're looking for more content to shake up your Monsterhearts experience, Ferretheim Games' library is a good start.
