You might have noticed the brand new artwork - mind the wet paint. Today I'll be Trying My Best to rummage through years of doll-related lore, particularly regarding past doll lines I've loved and... lost. That sounds awfully dramatic. But if you wanna hear about Monster High copycats, Disney's failure to support a blossoming series, or doll cultural appropriation, you're in for a treat!
