elonni- if you're referring to the glittery eyeshadow on the doll posted by Maniah, that's a custom. the real thing might not have that much glitter on her eyeshadow so you might not have to do that.

I'm hopping that Catty has a different facemold from the Twins and Catrine.

So, has anyone around here gotten the 2.0 PD dolls yet?  I keep seeing them on eBay from places like Florida, Texas and Washington.  I thought people on the Arena would start finding them soon.  Same with GNO, since they were seen in was it Australia/NZ? that they were seen?

[Melissa]

Nothing by me. PD Abbey and Draculaura are plentiful, but no 2.0 sightings yet... Heck, I haven't even seen Mummy/Gorgon or Ice/Blob CAMs yet.

Washington?! Where has that been mentioned?? I have yet to see any of them in WA and I'd love to see them in person to possibly get!! >,<;

Maybe that's just me being stupid again, but I don't get the people making customs of characters that are already announced to come out at one point for sure.
I mean, hey, they can do whatever they want and I'm a big fan of custom dolls, but it seems like such a waste of time (and another MH doll) to try to create something when you know you can have the original toy standing on your shelf sooner or later.

This was my exact reaction. I mean you can't just wait for the thing to hit shelves? .-.

I'm so with you, Zapper. I feel like it just means that someone (and maybe lots of people?) will eventually be disappointed by one or the other.

[LuvlyMelody]

You're not the only one, I feel that exact same way too about it 100%. >,>;

I could swear that I saw an auction on eBay with the location listed from WA with the dolls in hand.  Don't quote me though lol.

My thoughts exactly.. don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful custom, but.. come on, September isn't that far away, is it? :/

Ooh, new promo pics! -rushes to look at-

I feel the same way. Why bother? Right? But Im sort of glad they did it, because it lets me see the concept made reality. I can see how the design works on a real doll... And I have to admit, Im not loving it I hope that she looks a lot nicer when she is factory made. I can't put my finger on what I dont like.. maybe the glitter? I still like the art for her though. So I guess we will see!

[Flutterwonder13]

The custom is really throwing me off. I'm hoping it's just because it's only an amateur custom (I think the glitter-heaviness is getting me) and Catty will look better factory made.

Thanks for sharing! I would try this with Heath when I get him but I'd be too scared of destroying him
