Attention, ghouls! The halls of Monster High just got a fierce new student, and she flew all the way from the Philippines. Meet Corazon Marikit, the first-ever Filipina Monster High doll, serving looks and folklore realness as a fashionable manananggal!
Inspired by the iconic Manananggal of Filipino folklore, this fashion-forward diva takes flight in stunning foil prints, elegant fringe, and embroidered bat wings that demand attention.
As her official description puts it: “A feast of Filipino fashion and traditions, this manananggal maven is said to be able to separate her top and bottom halves to fly into the night. A vision in foil print and fringe, along with beautifully embroidered batwings, Corazon Marikit saunters down a runway of jasmine, leaving her fangs screaming for more.”
Corazon Marikit’s doll rocks a chic rattan bag, bahay-kubo heels, and a stunning heart-print terno, proving that Pinay style is both glamorous and ghostly. But don’t blink or you might miss her! In true manananggal fashion, she splits in half, making her the hardest ghoul to catch in the halls of Monster High. We asked for representation, and Corazon said, why stop at one when you can have two?
Corazon’s Designer Series Doll doesn’t just look good—she literally comes apart! Her upper and lower halves separate just like a real manananggal, making her a must-have for fans and collectors alike. Plus, her custom packaging lets you adjust her torso up and down while she’s still in the box—perfect for all the in-box skullectors out there.
With her bat wings, iconic accessories, and full-on Pinay glam, Corazon Marikit is proving that even in halves, she’s a full-time fashion icon.
Super Manika Oy!
Mattel’s no stranger to drawing inspiration from Filipino culture. We were all there for Filipina Barbie from the Barbie Signature line in 2024. And who could forget Mutya Barbie’s release in 2015? Both stunning dolls were designed by Filipino-American doll designer Carlyle Nuera, bringing a touch of Pinoy pride to collectors worldwide. It’s always a celebration to have our culture make its way around the world.
But Corazon Marikit? She’s something else entirely. A representation we never saw coming but absolutely needed. It’s rare to see Filipino folklore take center stage globally, and honestly—how cool is that? Our mythological creatures deserve the spotlight, and with Corazon leading the way, who knows? Maybe a Tikbalang or a White Lady could be next in line. A spook in the night could most definitely be the next star in the limelight.
For now, though, we’re making space for this stylish Manananggal on our shelves. Want to snag one for yourself? Make sure to get both halves of Corazon when you head to MattelCreations.com—this collector’s gem is priced at $75 (around PHP 4,300), excluding shipping.
