Going by the character's ears, I'd say they would be re-using Toralei's mold this time around, rather than the Twins'.
So, apparently, that image came from one of the Ghouls Night Out booklets. Looks to be the real deal.
Hmm... Catty (if that is her) has a pop star/celebrity motif going on... Maybe she's connected to the new movie that a trademark has been found for? It has something to do with acting after all. (Lulz... going through tumblr, it seems as if I am not the only one wondering this!)
In general, I really don't mind re-used accessories. They're usually fairly basic pieces, like the hightops that we get from time to time, or a somewhat non-descript hoops or bangles. They're usually a different color, so it's almost like being new (who here has undies or sneakers in the same style but different colors? ME!). Most doll lines have a boring re-used design for a lot of their stuff. I think we're lucky to have so much variety.Now, I will say that I'm disappointed to see PD Operetta re-using a mask. Not that I mind the re-cast (it's black, not white or purple), but because the spider web design in the promo pic is so much cuter!

Hmmm, if that image of Catty is the real deal, it could be Darko Djordjevic's work. He did the official promo art for the Werecat Twins, as well as the illustrations for the "Ghoulfriends Forever" books, and this looks like his style.http://darkodordevic.deviantart.com/^ He also has a lot of MH fanart posted on his deviantart that I absolutely love, like his OC Unicorn: http://darkodordevic.deviantart.com/art/Magical-Unicorn-Ghoul-333574453As far as the character goes, I like the idea of a truly black-skinned doll, I think the execution could be gorgeous, though I admit that I'm not much into the more frou-frou styles of MH. Her outfit is a bit too Pepto Bismol pink for me, however I do like the cracked mirror top, it's a cute touch. I'd have to reserve my final judgment of this character for the actual doll. Her style may be a nice counterbalance to Toralei and the Twins' punk rock style, and she would look cute next to Catrine. Going by the character's ears, I'd say they would be re-using Toralei's mold this time around, rather than the Twins'.I know money talks, and the werecats are likely seeing a good enough of a demand for Mattel to focus on them as much as they have, but I'm one who thinks that they're are getting to be a bit much, and this coming from someone who adores cats. They're even starting to become the majority of filler background characters in the CGI specials, lol. I wonder if it's intentional? If they're going to give us repeat monsters, I'd like to see some of the other concepts used. Maybe some more ghosts, or dragons, or vampires, make Frankie a younger sibling, anything to balance out the ratio a bit.

Please, God of Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Monster of the Black Lagoon, bring us the lady black spider with her fiery red hair and her six glorious arms. We beseech you! We beg of you! We PLEAD with you! Yes! A Sphinx would be fantastic, and I'd sell my soul for Wydowna at this point.
