Something Missing?

Create-A-Monster is a line of materials to create custom dolls and comprises three sublines of three, two, and three types of products. The three sublines are the standard line, Design Lab, and Color Me Creepy, which were launched in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

The standard line contains starter packs, add-on packs, and a torso pack. Regular starter packs contain two sets of parts for dolls of different species. Originally, the starter packs come with only one set of shoes, one wig, and one torso, meaning that only one doll at a time can be made from the materials in one starter pack. Half a year later, the starter packs were changed to include two torsos, which isn't enough for a full doll still but makes it easier to finish up the second doll with own means. Add-on packs contain one set of parts for one type of monster. These packs contain no upper arms, upper legs, or torsos, meaning that a starter pack must be purchased to make a doll with add-on pack parts. Mattel also shortly made a special torso set available only through their website. This set contains matching torsos and upper limbs for the first two starter packs and the first three add-on packs.
Design Lab is a subline containing two types of products: the Design Lab itself and add-on packs. The Design Lab was created to enhance the Create-A-Monster experience. With it, not only can a custom doll be created by selecting parts, but the faceup and skin decoration can be decided on too with the use of tattoos. This does mean the dolls do not have sculpted faces, though, and the tattoos aren't easy to place or always stick that well either. The Design Lab comes with all the parts for one doll, and the add-on packs come with two heads but no upper limbs.
Color Me Creepy follows on Design Lab but replaces the tattoos with temperature-based design potential. The Color Me Creepy Design Chamber provides one full doll and outfit, both of which coloration responds to temperature. The playset also comes with the tools needed to decorate the doll as desired. Color Me Creepy starter packs containing one full doll worth of doll parts with an outfit, and the add-on packs are fashion-only. Most items in the add-on packs can be made to change color with temperature adjustments, but the clothes of the starter packs can't change color. The starter pack dolls, like the ones with the playset, can change color.
