My Scene (stylized in all lowercase) is an American series of fashion dolls that Mattel released in 2002. They were discontinued in the US in 2008, and worldwide in 2011, however, currently, Mattel has released collector versions of the three main characters, meaning a possible return of the franchise. Mattel's Barbie character was one of the dolls in the toy line. The My Scene dolls' bodies were slim, similar to earlier Barbie dolls, but their heads were larger.[3] The New York Times described their features as "exaggerated lips and bulging, makeup-caked eyes."[4] My Scene were designed to appeal to the tween market and compete with the Bratz dolls from MGA Entertainment.[3][5]
