Barbie has some serious competition in this amazing line of dolls by the super talented Moscow artist and creator Polina Voloshina.
The Mooqla dolls go for a pensive, sullen, and introspective look that gives them an edge of cool.
Prices start around $350 USD for the dolls, with additional outfits starting at $79 USD.
The Mooqla girls include Lisa, Anna, Sonya, Tonya, Tanya, Emilie, Maya, Lora, Eve, Maria, Julia, Victoria, Sonya, and the newest addition, Bunny.
"The doll begins with a drawing by Polina, then a head is crafted, a silicone encased plastic body that articulates in nine ways is created." Explains If It's Hip It's Here, "The doll is then sanded and polished to perfection, and then clad in stunningly designed fashion ensembles, complete with accessories."
Everything about the dolls, from the body structure, to the facial features and fashion style is captivating. They even have a vibe of, "touch me and I will cut you". Very Angelina Jolie... Simply exquisite.
