The dolls of Monster High belong to one of four size classes: preadolescent female, adolescent female, adult female, and adolescent male. Each group shares roughly the same body mold, ranging from 9.5 inches for the preadolescent female body mold, 10.5 inches for the adolescent female body mold, and 11 inches for the adult female and adolescent male body molds. The bodies are made from ABS plastic, while the heads are made from soft PVC. Unlike with most of the bodies, each character has a unique head mold. The hair is made of saran or kanekalon fibers, though most of the male dolls have molded plastic hair. The dolls feature 11 articulation points. The female molds lack articulated ankles, while the boys rarely have articulated wrists.
The dolls and accessories are manufactured in Indonesia and China. The degree of noticeability of difference between dolls and accessories manufactured in Indonesia and dolls and accessories manufactured in China differs between releases. Also, prior to December 2012, all dolls were packaged with stands and brushes of appropriate color. Since then, stands and brushes have been absent from certain lines and those that do have them have them all in the same color, usually black or grey.
Each doll comes with a unique haircut and unique outfit, though sometimes a piece of clothing may be reused in different colors for another doll. Some dolls are only sold in multipacks or with a playset. Main line dolls are always packaged with diaries, an extra that is only included in some other doll lines. The first doll of a character released in the main line has the character's pet included.
In addition to the doll lines, there are accessory lines, which consist of clothes or playsets. A special type of dolls are the Create-a-Monster dolls, which are sold in parts and invite one to put together dolls according to one's tastes. And lastly, the Monster High line of plushies is promoted alongside the doll line.
