# Edgy Russian Dolls Mooqla Dolls By mediterranean | Published 2008-07-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mooqla-dolls References: [ifitshipitshere.blogspot](http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/07/sorry-barbie-but-compared-to-mooqla.html) & [mooqla](http://www.mooqla.com/dolls/) [Barbie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-cutie-reveal-care-bears) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-to-impress-mystery-models), 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.
