What’s your opinion on the pose me pets?
Thank you for asking! I hate them.
Okay, look. Hate is a strong word. I don't actually hate them. I just find them kind of unsettling and weird looking. I think it's mildly interesting that the purple dog thing is named Viveca because that's quite an unusual name in the USA, but it also happens to be the name of the Teresa character in Barbie and the Three Musketeers.
Like of all names for Mattel to use multiple times, I wouldn't have predicted Viveca.
But Pose Me Pets. I just don't like them. I don't like the design. The polite way of phrasing this, I think, is that they're "not for me".
