Welcome to The Hypernovaz Web! This is where unreleased designs, doll sculpts, and alternate music of the Novi Stars doll line reside as well as a fan art gallery and Cosmic Factz, a hub for things you may or may not know about NS related stuff!
Novi Stars was a doll line released back in July of 2012 by MGA Entertainment as a way to compete with Mattel's Monster High. The line focused on alien girls who've landed on Earth to "try new things, update your fashion trends, and make new friends." with the first release being that of Alie Lectric, Una Verse, Ari Roma, & Mae Tallick. Each doll has a pun name that is based on a word alongside a biography, a pet (most of them) and their main gimmick. From the water-filled legs of Una and Tula Toned, to the glow-in-the-dark limbs of Alie and Malie Tasker, you get the idea. Typically it had extensive merchandising, commercials of the dolls, a live-action music video, a series of webisodes on Youtube and their main website, multiple social media pages (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.), and even a spot on Nickelodeon's Slimefest in Australia. The dolls, despite complaints about their minimal articulation and same faces with different makeup, had some pretty intricate designs for the characters. With Sila Clops' long silver and hot pink hair, Vera Tabray's skeleton wings, Carmela Sweet's swirly makeup, Mimi Merize's hypnotizing eyes, and Tula's...everything, there *is* a reason to like these dolls! However, the line slowly began to decline in popularity as US distribution for the dolls stopped a year later along with all of their social media pages now inactive and the final two releases in 2014, the second waves of Supernovaz and Invasion were exclusively in Europe and Russia. Although these dolls were short-lived and have stopped production, it had a small cult following online with many doll collectors showing off their collections in r/Dolls and in r/NoviStars having over 614 members on Reddit as well on other sites such as Tumblr and Twitter.
Interestingly, in Shadow High Series 2 there's a character named Zooey Electra with a futuristic style who's wearing a Novi Stars T-Shirt with Mimi Merize in the center as well as in Zooey's computer and in her phone wallpaper. Many people thought that this was a hint of the dolls coming back or maybe an upcoming Novi Stars reboot. Although people were skeptical about it as the social media pages haven't been active for years, there were still fans who are waiting for news about Novi Stars. And more recently (As of August 2024), the Sparkle & Shine dolls have a gimmick where each girl has water and glitter filled legs that matched their color ala Una Verse and Tula Toned. Whether or not there will be a reboot, only time will tell.
