The MH fandom seems to be doing a pretty good job maintaining enthusiasm. There are still lots of MH photos being posted to Instagram.

It was an exciting time, back then!

I know, right? Bratz boxes of the same era were an ordeal to open!

I'm about ready to resort to eksplosives, myself.

Only nine years ago, or nine years ago already. Sometimes it seems like forever ago, and at other times, like scarcely yesterday.
Okay, I felt badly about "cheating" and posting a throw-back pic. I told myself I was going to avoid doing that this year. So when I noticed how effectively the girls were all working together without supervision, I quietly sneaked away to grab my camera. Here you see them carefully measuring out where to place the new shower enclosure.

I LOL'd, literally. 
These are so fun.
The Pullips seriously look like they're not sure the Smart Dolls can get it right without supervision. Which reminds me of a certain tall ship captain's comment about a carpenter who was still learning, "I have to keep three eyes on his work."

Agreeing with Allie here, the Pullips do have ex.pressions of we need to make sure you do this right.
That being said it's a really great photo, I love the perspective, and how clear they all are. Hard at work and doing it well, you carry on girls

This is so cute! It's going to be the best bathroom ever! Just make sure everything is actually human-sized.

Probably because the carpenter was three sheets to the wind.

With their eyes being able to move, the Pullips can be more ex.pressive than I would have ex.pected.

I used to have one of the MH plushies. I wonder where she is, or if I still have her?

Uh oh.... There's a thought.

I could say that she's not as high off the floor as she looks... but that would not be accurate.
So yes, she was, if not brave, at least reasonably confident in her balancing ability.

Yes. Turns out the girls are pretty good at math after all.

If inspectors show up, safety will be the least of our worries!

She floats through the air with the greatest of ease....
