Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019!

Another great match! I'm starting to wonder whether Lanard matched their colors to MH on purpose...

Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact the heads are from older dolls, I would think so. I'm surprised they didn't try re-launching the dolls during the MH boom, so to speak. They would have sold well, even if just for people looking to customise.

The original Catwalk Kitties pre-dated Monster High by at least a couple of years.

Now, these Made-in-China Catwalk Kitty heads are being marketed to fit Monster High bodies: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985799567.html

(Or, to be precise, "for moster body high".   )

Perfect rebody for the "Chase" head!

Not that surprised, truth be told. Even now MH still holds a level of popularity for customising and the werecats were among some of the best selling characters they had. 

Ah! I wonder how you know all the stock names for these heads - I can't seem to find anything online. A few old blog posts, but nothing solid.

Oh, cute!

Thank you ^^

Interesting to see another line of dolls besides Pullips where rebodying is such a 'thing'.  She's cute.  The original didn't have a tail??

I think rebodying is a thing across a ton of different types of dolls, though admittedly I have seen it most often among Pullips. I think it's a mix of looking for articulation - and MH dolls did have great articulation - and maybe just wanting a different look for the dolls. I think the originals had a tail, I was just meaning that some of my rebodies have lost their tails because I'm grabbing dolls from charity shops and the like, LOL.

The 5-inch "Petite" versions had hard plastic tails. 

You know, I've never actually seen the "Petite" dolls? I will need to go google searching.

Mildred finally has the required black boots for attending Cackles Academy. They're properly stompy as well. She's a witch right down to her boots!
