You had me going for a second. As horrifying, creepy, and ugly modern dolls are getting, even the “headless” feature of these dolls is a feature. For now, at least. Imagine how easily and quickly major toy companies could get their target audience to actually just buy doll heads if they really wanted to cut cost.

@Itsthinking  
Yeah.  
Even with their track record, they wouldn’t be as stupid as to pull something like that off.

@Fortune  
I’m assuming that was sarcasm. Please, let it be that.

@TheDog  
Oh god THEM!

@Lyra_Heartstrings
 
It could be worse, it could be like this…
 

@Itsthinking  
That was the original plan.  
Seeing increased backlash from a small sample, the official statement is now “manufacturing/shipping error”.

@Background Human  
At least this was just a manufacturing error and wasn’t designed to, you know, have an incredibly creepy and badly-fitting “feature.”

@Prof.NightJack  
Unless it’s Luna, that Headless Horse bears a great resemblance to her body.

@Lawful Girly  
No, the head of the pony doesn’t come off.

@Itsthinking  
When you’re right, you’re right. Monster High really does ruin everything!

I guess this is canon by extension:  

I remember saying once “well, at least they didn’t make Celestia’s head come off like they did with the principals of all of their competitors.”
 
I guess I was wrong.

@Lyra_Heartstrings
 
It’s a manufacturing error. Hasbro shipped a bunch of dolls without her body.

@Lyra_Heartstrings  
No, the body is missing for the boxes, and they where shipped that way.

Is that…an interchangeable head?
 
 
If that is, that is nothing short of absolutely terrifying.
