Should There be Bald Bratz Games?

Bratz games are going bald along with some of the various Barbie games and Moxie girls. But should the pretty little Bratz games actually be bald. The first question to answer, however, is why the Bratz dolls are going to be bald. The answer is this: the dolls are part of a new line of products created by Mattel to promote cancer awareness and research. The dolls will be there to support young cancer patients.

Bratz games aren’t the only dolls going bald, and all three of the brands of dolls will have at least one doll without hair as a testament to cancer research. While it might be unnerving for some of us to pick up a bald Bratz doll, the girls who need the support will greatly appreciate the bald Bratz dolls as a way of recognizing that cancer happens to individuals of all ages, including little girls, and that those little girls deserve a doll that resembles them, too.

Bald Bratz Games Are Coming

There are bald Bratz games coming soon! As early as June, Bratz games without any hair at all will be released for children who are going through cancer treatments or other medical conditions where they are experiencing hair loss. The Bratz games without hair will also be a nice way for little girls and perhaps little boys to understand what it’s like to have a family member losing hair as well through cancer treatments.

The new Bratz games are part of the True Hope line of dolls that will include a bald Barbie doll (who is actually a friend of Barbie – not Barbie herself) and a bald Moxie girl as well. It’s inspiring that Mattel has chosen to not only console these young patients who are experiencing hair loss as they battle for healthy, but to also bring attention to the fact that it’s very possible to be both bald and beautiful.
