@Carrehz - Lost Kitties are still on sale in the UK, I've seen them in Entertainer around this area. Also I've seen the TV commercial a few times since Christmas too, so it may just be distribution??

Haven't heard of some of the others...

Oh I know they're still around, I just meant they haven't seemed to "take off". Whenever I see them these days, they're in much less prominent positions on the shelves vs when they were first released - I haven't seen the TV ad for months, either. Interesting that it's still airing in some parts of the country :O

I still mourn the loss of Mini Mixie Q's, they were fun. Although my inner grammar freak never understood why they had an apostrophe in their name.

Looking through my drawer of tiny toys the other day, I found some Charm U charms. I'd certainly forgotten them, took me ages to remember what they were called.

I never hear anything about Regal Academy dolls these days, though it could just be that they're confining themselves to their native Italy.

Added Charm U's and I'll have to check with someone Italian to see if they're still around.

I can’t believe someone besides me remembers Lollipop Girls at all! They were such cute dolls... I really wanted them when I was in my tweenage years. X3

I only know of them because a collectibles shop I go to have some MIB for sale.

I guess it's just the midlands ;) Albeit it mostly shows up for some reason in commercial breaks for Miraculous on Disney.

On another note, I only ever saw the pony CMC commercial once. So I guess commercials don't reflect anything more than how much the company paid a particular channel to advertise a product...

I still see 5-10 TV ads a day for Lost Kitties, here in the States—mostly on Cartoon Network. I love the line, so I really hope they stick around for a while! Also, they have officially reignited my childhood love of Play-Doh, lol.

Haven't been through the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned Liv Dolls yet? I remember them when I was a kid. I was going to get one but got put off by the glass-like eyes. I haven't seen them in a long long time

I tried looking it up on Google and found this which was quite an interesting read: http://midgardtoyview.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-did-liv-fail.html

I've never heard of these, but I really like some of them, and would like to have one or two :)

This reminded me of Club Hello Kitty dolls - they were never available here, I bought mine in Italy 3 years ago (they seem to have been clearing them out, as different toy shops all had discounts on their prices), and then some from Spahish Amazon. IIRC I also saw one in a shop in France once 2 years ago, but I may remember incorrectly/mix things up. They were made by the Spanish company Famosa. I'm not sure where else they were sold, and/or if they are still being made.

edit: Oh, I just remembered - what about Chicks With Wigs? They seem pretty obscure, doesn't look like we're getting them over here, either. Pity since they're v. cute.
Okay, I've never heard of these, but they are super adorable, and now I need them :3 :P
They would look super cute on display especially now that we are getting close to Easter, and I can see so many customising options within them (like rerooting or body flocking). Too bad they are not available around here...

ETA: they are in a sort of sought-after collectible status now, but they were initially fashion dolls, and were short-lived and long-gone from the shelves, so I think Moxie Teenz might also fit the list. Too bad they are gone, I love them so much. In fact, they are the reason I started doll collecting back then (I didn't actually  plan to start collecting back then, they just... invaded my shelves after I got to know other doll lines as well :P ).

They were new around here Christmas time, I didn't realize they were already a collectible!
