Why I’m confident the in-box Scary Sweet birthday pics are prototypes
…or at least that’s what I’m strongly convincing myself.
The actual prototypes for these dolls were leaked not long after their normal stock photos, and in those pics you can see that prototype Cleo is missing her hair poof and prototype Cupid‘s hair is shorter and her curls are less poofy.
The in-box pics of these dolls seem to have very similar issues with the hair.
I know Monster High g3 hasn’t been very good with handling textured hair (trust me I’ve ranted about it enough times here), but in Cleo’s case, why would they give her a hair poof in the final design just to suddenly take it away?
Some people also pointed out that Frankie has their normal leg in the in-box pic, but the box art has their pink leg.
For these reasons I’m convincing myself these new photos are just prototypes. I really hope this is the case because I really don’t want them to mess up Cupid. She’s one of my favorites in both gens and seeing her stock photo with curly hair made me so happy 😭
