Tired of Baby Dolls? Try Bratz


Do you have a collection of baby dolls and stuffed animals you wish you could hide or give away? If you haven’t bitten the bullet yet and found your old friends new homes, at least move them aside to make room for your new clique.

The Bratz are four girls who know a little about fashion and a lot about attitude. Big eyes and great hair complete the look for the four who sport urban and trendy fashions. Unlike Barbie games, Bratz games and dolls are designed to be used by girls who want a bit of edge in their fashion. You won’t find any Bratz in pink ball gowns.

Bratz Games
There are plenty of games to play with Bratz dolls. You can create your own fashions, of course, or change outfits to suit your ideas and scenes. You can also play online Bratz games or if you need a bit of an introduction, pull out the Bratz movie.

Pretty soon, you’ll be totally in love with Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade. Maybe you’ll even start to look as fashionable as your new friends.

The Benefits of Bratz Games


Playing Bratz games is more than just a simple way to kill time; it’s an opportunity to truly benefit yourself and your fashion sense. Bratz games incorporate much of the latest fashions along with trendy hairstyles, accessories and, of course, attitude. But that’s not all there is to the popular dolls:

  • Play and learn some serious fashion skills. If you copy your best friend’s (or your enemy’s) outfit, people will notice and talk. Not so if you copy Bratz outfits! If you need a bit of help in the fashion department, you can play around with Bratz games online and then print out your dolls to take with you shopping. Look for pieces that any Brat would be proud to wear and you’re on your way to some serious style.

  • Improve creativity with design. Playing with Bratz dolls online does more than just let you learn existing fashions. It can also help you to develop new fashions and styles. It sometimes seems as though there simply aren’t enough creative outlets for kids these days – Bratz games are a good one.

  • It’s just plain fun. Pouty lips and big eyes are just the beginning when you create your very own Bratz dolls online. Dress ‘em, style ‘em and print them when you’re done. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

Bratz Were Stolen?!


There is a lawsuit about to go to trial between Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls, and MGA Entertainment, the maker of Bratz dolls, claiming the idea for Bratz dolls came while the inventor still worked for Mattel. If Carter Bryant, the designer of the dolls, was working for Mattel when he thought up the idea of the various Bratz games, technically, the idea belonged to Mattel – Not MGA.

He claims, however, that he had the idea during a time he wasn’t working for Mattel. Unfortunately for him, this was a short time after one stint working for Mattel and before working for Mattel again. It’s going to be tricky to prove his ideas came during the few moments he wasn’t working there.

If Mattel can prove that Bryant developed the idea while employed with that doll maker, the entire Bratz line might just be swept into Mattel, and Bratz might become sisters with Barbie. Weird!

If that’s not odd enough to think about, MGA is claiming that Mattel actually stole the idea for some of its dolls from the Bratz line. Who needs the WWE when you have two doll makers slugging it out in court?
