Novi Stars

Novi Stars was an American line of fashion dolls released by MGA Entertainment in 2012. It revolves around a set of alien girls who land on Earth and want to be like humans. At the end of 2013, MGA Entertainment announced that no new Novi Stars will be produced, making it obvious that the line itself has been discontinued.

Dolls

Each doll has a special feature that is promoted on their box, and has a bio^[1] which reveals the details about the character. Each doll comes with a pet (excluding Nita Light, who comes with an energy pod) and a glow-in-the-dark doll stand. The handle from the box can become a hair band for the owner.

Most of the dolls have hair rooted in their head, with the exception of Mae Tallick, Sila Clops, Cici Thru, and Gail Lexi. Cici Thru and Gail Lexi's wigs come off to change wigs. Mae Tallick and Sila Clop's wigs come off to access their battery packs. Alie Lectric, Mae Tallick, Sila Clops, and Ina Ferna require batteries.
