Dolly Review: Monster High Catty Noir

Catty Noir is in the house!

Catty Noir

For the past few weeks, toy stores have been advertising a new doll to be released on the 13th of September with a graphic that looked like Catty Noir in silloutte. Turns out that Catty Noir was being put on shelves as early as last week. So much for the grand unveiling on Friday, September 13th…

Cattie Noir in Box

Catty’s backstory is that she’s a teenage popstar who is tired of the lime light and ready to expirience the normal highschool expirience at Monster High. It looks like Catty is also featured in the new Monster High special, 13 Wishes.

Catty Noir

Catty has charcoal black skin and is decked out with lots of pink. She has long pink hair styled in a high ponytail. Her hair looks to be rooted in two different colors, one light pink and one raspberry.

Catty Noir- Hair

Her eyes are highlighted with silver and her lips are pink. Mattel, also, accented the nose to make it look ‘cat-like’.

Catty Noir- Face

I like the look of Catty’s face. I think Mattel chose colors that look good on her black body.

Catty’s limbs are black. Our Catty’s arms don’t have 100% posability, because the rubberbands holding Catty’s necklace on are stuck in her joints. However, if I have to choose between securing her necklace or moving her arms higher, I’ll take the necklace.

Catty’s legs are strange. They seem really hollow. They definitly feel different than her arm’s. I don’t remember other Monster High dolls having hollow feeling legs (maybe the guys?), but I do know that I don’t like it! The shoes even make a weird clankling sound that I don’t think I’ve heard with other Monster High dolls.

Catty Noir- Outfit

Onto the outfit. I actually love Catty’s outfit. It totally fits her character. It’s not too showy or pagent-like. It is, however, very pink, which works with this doll. What I like best about Catty’s outfit is the silver, spiderweb like top. It looks great on the black body.

Catty Noir- notice her tail

Overall, I like Catty a lot! She looks so much better in person than in promo shots. Even my pictures don’t really do her justice. Putting aside the strange legs, Catty is a doll that has character.
