CurlyKitten PinkyPaws vs. Little Pretty Mimi

Little Pretty Kitties are very similar to the CurlyKittens from the Lady LovelyLocks toyline (trademarked by Those Characters From Cleveland & sold through Mattel) and it has been rumored that they share the same figure molds.[1]

When closely examined it becomes clear that they do not share the same molds but it is likely that Curly Kittens functioned as a heavy influence - Mattel designers may have taken the existing Curly Kittens concept and improved upon the entire design.

Unlike Little Pretty Kitties, CurlyKittens came in only two poses - Sitting and Lying Down - and neither match Little Pretty Kitty poses.
