[ID: Fashion Surpise Petz - Vivid Imaginations/GenieToys] It's driving me crazy!!! DX

Hi everyone!  
I have four dolls/figures and I can't find them on the internet anywhere. I am missing one because when I was younger I gave it to a friend and I wanted to buy it again. Here's some stuff that you should know about them:

~There were more than five over all if I remember rightly.
~They're cats, dogs and horses.
~They all have star eye shines in their eyes.
~They came with earings and clothes which I've lost.
~They have moveable front paws, heads that turn 360 dagrees and they are fully plastic apart from the tail which is like a dolls hair. The horse is different though because it also has moveable front elbows as well as moveable front hooves.
~On each of their left inner back legs it says VI 'copyright symbol' 2003 Genie
~I got them from the Isle Of Wights Woolworths in 2003

I'll be back with photos soon. Thank you for any help. <3

I'm sure someone in the forum will be able to help you with this one. I don't know much about toys beyond the mid 90s, but as your toys sound like jointed action figures, I did find the two company sites for VI (action figures) and Genie, who often collaborates with other companies in making toys. You may want to contact Genie through their site and ask them a few questions seeing as your toy is so recent as well. It appears that they make a lot of animals toys, with magical, fantasy, themes, etc.

I have to say that I am positive my younger sister had a horse figure, like you described. She received it in a hand-me-down bag though and she had no idea what it was called, it is long gone now!

Good luck!

That HAS to be them, hey, or at least really similar. Good work Dludnerad! I can't say I have ever heard of those toys before. I tried to search further, cannot find a horse one, just the cat and dog.

Fashion Surprise Petz (I guess these were from the Bratz/Trollz era).

Here's a picture of the horse:

And a tiny picture of all of them:

Apparently this was made by the company Vivid Imaginations (UK). I think GenieToys is either with them or a distributor or something with the licensing?

Names: Emilia, Nicole, Tara, Natasha, Naomi, Millie.

I'm not sure who the pink dog that comes with the Fashion Boutique is supposed to be?

Someone on a forum in 2004 that says they were involved with the design:
