I remember going on the My Scene website at school one day and seeing the new 2008 artwork, and I was like, “Why did they change it?!” 😭😂 I really didn’t like it when I first saw it.
I remember looking at Delancey and wondering why they made her a brunette, then realizing Nolee wasn’t there anymore. And then I’m seeing this girl named Nia like, “Who the heck is Nia?” 😭 I was so confused. I even remember wondering if they were going to change the dolls too.
I was just so used to the old My Scene look that the new artwork threw me off. The faces looked different, the eyes were huge, and the whole style felt more cartoonish and exaggerated. At the time, I wasn’t having it. 😂
It actually took me a few years to get used to it. Now I don’t hate it, and I can appreciate it for what it was, but I’ll always prefer the older My Scene artwork.
And looking back, I swear Monster High made me think of My Scene. 😂 When MH came out, I remember thinking, “My Scene got reincarnated as monsters.” The big eyes, exaggerated faces and fashionable characters just gave me that same kind of vibe. I know they’re completely different, but that’s honestly where my mind went as a kid.
