Monster High Fakes, Fakies, Knock-offs, Clones - The Compilation

They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”.

But there's nothing flattering or sincere in what you're about to see...
Or is there?

Fakes, fakies, knock-offs, rip-offs, clones, call them what you want!


Ladies and gents, here's my lengthy post and photo collection of Monster High fakes!

Let's start simple, you probably have seen these though:

Gothic Angels

 These were sold on an American online store for around $13
As you can see only their clothes, make-up and skin colour resemble the main MH cast.
The dolls are generic, I think these must have been some of the first MH fakies made.

I actually saw some myself at a toy store a while back:

Draculaura's eyes o__O

And that's the only picture you'll see that's mine because I haven't seen many
fun fakies in real life :-/

So all the other photos here weren't taken by me but I'll try to give credit
and the source of where I found them!
For example, here's a fun picture of fakie MH babies by a Flickr contact of mine, Giulia:
monster kindergarden????

Monster Kindergarden?

And they're "perfumados" too (scented in Spanish!).
Apparently these were designed and released only Spain.

I found more Monster baby dolls on Flickr, these photos are by Val dOLL
and apparently they come from Mexico.
MonsterBabies

She looks like she could be Chucky's daughter xD

MonsterBabies

Come on! Don't tell me this Lagoona doesn't look a bit like Tiffany, Chucky's girlfriend LOL

MonsterBabies

I like her ears ^_^

MonsterBabies

Even my favourite ghoul, Spectra, gets her Baby doll!

MonsterBabies

Little Deuce with real "punky" hair

MonsterBabies

Baby Toralei looks purrfect in this animal print top!

MonsterBabies

Left to right, Draculogan, Abbey, Holt Hyde, Draculaura, Clawd and Ghoulia.

 Maybe you're unfamiliar with Draculogan, he's not an official character made by Mattel actually.
He's a popular OOAK custom doll and character created by MHScreamQueen:
MonsterBabies

Make sure to see MHScreamQueen's other pictures of this convincing custom, he's fangtastic!

This means OOAK and customs are not saved from the fakie treatment!!!

Recently Mattel announced a MH styling head (I think it was about time they made one)
but the Chinese beat them to it:

Gigi Grant styling head! No, this is not from Mattel!

Haunt the Casbah Frankie, isn't she cute?

I found those heads on an Ukranian online toy store, they retail for around $19 each.
I think they look pretty and they're a new idea for a fakie!

There's Lagoona and Skelita too!

Next I found these on the same Ukranian toy site:

LOL at C.A. Cupid with Holt! Also notice Toralei's boyfriend


So, Toralei's boyfriend...
You would think these "copycats" would have got creative inventing a new character, well, nope!
Again this is another rip-off of a custom OOAK, by Alberto Zunino this time:
Chaos-fake


On a site that sells goods from China I found more Werecats twins:

KQ Khaki Girl "The best gift for the children"

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds Chinglish amusing LOL

Purrsephone

Meowlody

I've browsed and browsed on these sites:
Alibaba.com
and
Aliexpress.com
(they're some kind of eBays that sells goods (junk, ahem) from China that you can buy wholesale too)
and I found a jaw-dropping fakie, Webarella!

Elves Resurrection!!! "Monster Elves"!

Ewww that pink handbag and standee!

I would like to get my hands on one of these just to see the quality of their bodies.

It looks like she can be completely dismantled just like the C.A.M. (Create A Monster) dolls.

If you want her you can get her for around $17-$10 free shipping from China on Aliaexpress.com

Just for fun, here's a Barbie/Wydowna Spider hybrid that I found on that site too:

Yes that looks like a toy of Frozen's Olaf and no I dunno what's it doing there, LOL


There's more Wydowna Spider real look-alikes though:

The little black dress is actually cute and at least the handbag is red this time.


Agh that rubber-band in her hair is so ugly >__<

More Wydowna (because you have to admit she is a neat fakie!):

Aw she comes with a yellow parasol, "Sweet"!


Our next dark-skinned ghoul to get a cheap clone is Catty Noir:

Something that I've just noticed now, the Catty artwork on the bottom right side of the box,
I just recognized it's fanart drawn by Darko Dordevic:

And I thought internet was restricted in Mainland China, apparently they can visit DeviantArt.com

More 13 Wishes / Haunt the Casbah dolls:

These don't look really good, their articulation is limited...

This is more like it!

I have the original Haunt the Casbah Frankie and I've got to say, this fakie's dress looks a lot like the real one!

Monster Girl! The MH skulette icon looks so cheeky here xD

Next on the line, Ghouls Rule!

They're in desperate need for some hairspray, those flyaway hairs are a nightmare!

This Cleo sort of, ahem, scares me O__O

I think I can see her butt Oh my Rah!

On the other hand I'm pretty impressed on this Draculaura's eye make-up, it looks like the real one's.

This fakie Abbey looks cute, she just needs a hair brush poor thing :-/

Strike a pose!

Talking about posing, I saved this one because I thought it looked ridiculous:

She looks like a Clown LOL

But enough about girls and ghouls, let's talk boys!


I found different kinds of clones of Deuce, Clawd, Holt and Jackson:

I bet none of your dolls would wanna date these, they look evil!

Scared much?

Aaah nooo! Why???!!!

Oh is real hair better? Maybe?

These look friendlier, I like Clawd here.

More boys. Holt got a tan this time LOL

And I had to include this one, its box descriptions are just hilarious:

Hello, Everyone, I WAS A CUTE GIRL

Here's some photos by Margarit-Chan of a fakie Clawd with the De Nile sisters:
Nossa Dance Dolls: Front of the box

Oh there's a Littlest Pet Shop fakie too xD

Nossa Dance Dolls: Group

They look nice. Unfortunately according to Margarit-chan their clothes are glued to their bodies :-/

Nossa Dance Dolls: "Nefra"

Nossa Dance dolls and the originals

Thanks Margarit for these type of pictures! It's so much fun to see these comparisons :-)

And just when you thought we were almost finished...
here's some C.A.M (Create A Monster) fakies:

Looks like a knock-off of the Ice and Blob Girl C.A.M. set

More Ice and Blob girl. These actually look exactly like the originals!!!

Siren/Mermaid and Blob girl has turned into a Siren too!

This one comes with a lot of water/sea pets! Notice the lobster and crab LOL

What do we have here... A Bratzillaz Switch-a-Witch and Monster High crossover???

For the record I'll also post this MH themed furniture
(it's only Barbie-ish furniture with some stickers though):

Oh and I also found this fakie furniture of the Scaris The City of Frights Café Cart:



OK so I'm Tired to Death now after documenting all of this
Love Doesn't Have To Be Scary LOL
If you want to share/copy these pictures somewhere else feel free to do so ;-)
A little credit for research is very much appreciated though :-D

I'm sure I'll make more of these kind of posts in the future. The more new Monster High dolls
come out the more fakies we'll be getting LOL

And guess what, I've already spotted some Ever After High fakes!
 So I'll have to make a separate post for those too xD

If you know of any other fakies, clones, etc. then please share ;-)

Until next time!

Love <3
Mariko.
