KATSEYE Monster High Dolls: Everything We Know About The Custom Designs And The October 2025 Drop
The collaboration between global girl group KATSEYE and Mattel's iconic Monster High franchise has created a frenzy among K-Pop fans and doll collectors alike. Announced in July 2024, this partnership goes far beyond a simple endorsement, featuring a reimagined "Fright Song" and, most notably, a set of six custom, one-of-a-kind dolls, each meticulously designed to represent a unique monster or mythological creature from the members' respective cultures. This groundbreaking move highlights the group’s commitment to celebrating diversity and challenging traditional beauty standards, perfectly aligning with the Monster High ethos of embracing your inner ghoul. The initial dolls were custom gifts for the members, but the latest buzz suggests a major public release is on the horizon, with a specific date now circulating in the fandom.
As of late 2024 and early 2025, the excitement centers on the potential for a commercial release. While the original dolls were explicitly described as non-commercial, the immense fan demand and a cryptic announcement point toward a major "drop" scheduled for October 2025. Whether this will be a collector's line of the six custom dolls or a new product altogether, the collaboration has already cemented its place as one of Monster High's most culturally significant partnerships, blending the glamorous world of K-Pop with the spooky-chic aesthetic of the doll line.
The Global Ghouls: KATSEYE Member Profiles and Doll Personas
KATSEYE, the six-member global girl group formed through the survival show *The Debut: Dream Academy*, has captured international attention with their diverse backgrounds and powerful performances. The Monster High collaboration is a direct celebration of this diversity, with each member's custom doll representing a mythological entity from their own cultural heritage. This list provides a complete breakdown of the members and the terrifyingly fabulous monster persona their doll embodies.
- Sophia Laforteza (Philippines): The leader of the group, Sophia's doll is inspired by the Manananggal. This legendary Filipino creature is a type of vampire-like ghoul, famous for being able to separate its upper torso from its lower body, growing large bat-like wings. The doll's design is a powerful nod to Filipino folklore and one of the most unique in the collection.
- Manon Bannerman (Switzerland/Ghana): Manon's custom doll is a stunning Sea Monster. This choice reflects her diverse heritage and brings a classic, yet unique, oceanic element to the Monster High universe.
- Daniela Avanzini (USA): Daniela's doll is noted for being glammed up with her recognizable curls, capturing her signature style. While the specific mythological creature remains a mystery in official announcements, her doll embodies a classic, fierce Monster High archetype.
- Lara Raj (India/USA): Lara's persona is the powerful Rakshasa, a mythological being from Hindu mythology. Rakshasas are known for their fierce nature and magical abilities, translating into a bold, visually striking doll design that channels "Rakshasa Power."
- Megan Skiendiel (USA): Megan's doll is inspired by the Huli Jing, or Fox Spirit, a mythological creature prominent in Chinese and East Asian folklore. The Huli Jing is known for its beauty, charm, and magical abilities, a perfect fit for the mysterious and versatile all-rounder.
- Yoonchae Jeung (South Korea): Yoonchae's doll is a stylish take on the White Tiger. This creature, often referred to as *Baekho* in Korean mythology, is a symbol of power, courage, and the West. Her look is a fierce, white-and-black ensemble, giving the doll a regal, predatory aesthetic.
The Cultural Significance of the Custom Dolls
The KATSEYE Monster High dolls are more than just collector's items; they are a significant statement on cultural representation in the toy industry. By choosing monsters and mythological beings from their own diverse backgrounds—including Filipino, Indian, Korean, and Swiss/Ghanaian heritage—the collaboration elevates global folklore to the mainstream. This move aligns perfectly with Monster High's mission to celebrate "freaky flaws" and embrace individuality, but with a unique, globally-minded twist.
The dolls are described as one-of-a-kind (OOAK), meaning they were custom-made specifically for the members and are not the standard mass-produced line. This exclusivity has only fueled the demand, making them mythical collector's items in their own right. Fans have praised the attention to detail in translating complex mythological concepts—like the Manananggal's separating body or the Rakshasa's fierce aesthetic—into a fashion doll format. The core message is clear: your unique heritage is your superpower, and your cultural "flaws" are what make you fabulous.
Fright Song Remix and the Highly Anticipated 2025 Drop
The doll collaboration was debuted alongside a fresh, electrifying remix of the classic 2010 Monster High theme song, "Fright Song." The new version infuses the track with KATSEYE's signature K-Pop-inspired sound, creating a high-energy anthem that serves as the perfect soundtrack for the monstrous partnership. The music video showcases the members in their full monster-inspired looks, providing fans with the clearest view of the dolls' design inspirations and the overall aesthetic.
Is a Commercial KATSEYE Monster High Doll Line Coming?
This is the question on every collector's mind. Initially, the dolls were confirmed to be non-commercial, but the landscape is changing rapidly. The immense fan reaction and demand for a public release have clearly influenced Mattel’s plans. The most recent and exciting news points to a major announcement or product launch scheduled for October 4, 2025. While Mattel has not officially confirmed the nature of this "drop"—whether it will be a full line of the six custom dolls, a collector's edition set, or a new product entirely—the date suggests that a commercial product is highly probable, likely to be released around the Halloween season.
The collaboration has successfully merged the worlds of K-Pop, global mythology, and fashion dolls, creating a powerful cultural moment. For fans of KATSEYE, Monster High, and diversity in toys, the wait for the official October 2025 drop is filled with anticipation. Keep a close watch on official Mattel Creations and KATSEYE channels for the final details on what promises to be one of the most sought-after doll releases in recent memory.
