Successors
Even though Leggys had numerous marketing and production variations, they had a very short existence on the market. The line was discontinued after only a year.
A new line by MGA Entertainment called "Hi:Glamm" was released in late 2007. The dimensions of these dolls, particularly their extremely exaggerated long legs, closely resemble the Leggy dolls, although they are a larger scale, standing about 13". The "Hi:Glamm" line featured Five doll characters instead of Leggy's four:
- Nicole, a black bombshell who corresponds nicely to Leggy Sue,
- Julia, whose hair is every bit as orange as Leggy Kate's,
- Alex, a dark-haired beauty who resembles Leggy Nan,
- Pam, whose long blonde hair brings Leggy Jill to mind,
and
- Kit, an Asian with outrageous pointed bangs, who has no counterpart in the classic Hasbro "Leggy" line.
Apart from the five dolls, there were two small accessory packs available. These featured a few clothing items, but many pairs of shoes, stockings, and long, long leggings.
The "Hi: Glamm" line seems to have fared no better than their "Leggy" predecessors, at least in America, for they were quickly relegated to the "Clearance" section of the toy department in most stores.
