Bratz Games and the Holidays


The holidays are the best time of year to enjoy Bratz games. When the Christmas tree goes up and the decorations are hung, it’s only natural to start thinking about the gifts that go under the tree. Why not put a few Bratz games under the Christmas tree this year? Bratz games are easy to find in stores, and they have been popular for years – why go for the conventional dress up games, when you can go for the real thing?

Bratz games are hugely popular with young girls because the dolls have an urban flair. Rather than pretty blondes dressed up for a sorority party, the Bratz games feature friends from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. The dolls are all pretty and since it’s a group of friends rather than the back-up singers for one blonde superstar, the Bratz games seem to be very equitable as well. When it’s all said and done, putting Bratz games under the Christmas tree means you don’t have to worry if your gift will be a hit – you’ll know it will be.

Bratz Games Have Mellowed


Remember when the Bratz games first came out? They were shocking and almost risqué. There was a public lash out against the dolls for being too promiscuous and dressing in a way that wasn’t considered appropriate for young girls.. Interestingly enough, at the same time everyone was lashing out against the Bratz dolls, they were gaining in popularity. You didn’t hear a great deal of support for the dolls in the traditional sense.

There weren’t web pages, blogs and articles telling us all why it’s important that fashion dolls have young looking faces and big doe-like eyes. There was a more subtle movement toward the fashion dolls. In short, rather than talk about it – people did something about it. They actually went into the stores and bought the dolls. No more talk, a whole lot of action. In fact, the number of people who bought the Bratz games was so high, it set them on almost equal footing with Barbie games. This of course caused problems and the lawsuits began.

Bratz Games on the Rise


Bratz games seem to be on the rise again. After the long lawsuit process and the many different issues that arose from the lawsuit between Mattel and MGA Entertainment, it seems as though things might be settling back down to order – at least on the highest level. I’m sure if we starting digging deeper into the legal woes of the two companies, we’d find any number of problems with the two including the once-popular Bratz games.

Are the games still popular? Of course. One of the original fashion games to break away from the more traditional form of Barbie, Bratz games have taken a new slant on things related to fashion and how we perceive ourselves. Urban fashion became mainstream around this time, and the Bratz girls had a lot to do with that. It’s a simple matter of being in the right place at the right time, and the Bratz games did exactly that. Of course, now it’s a bit more complicated matter of staging a comeback, but if anyone can do it, the Bratz games can.

Bratz Games: The Lawsuit Continues


The ongoing lawsuit over Bratz games has just dragged on a bit more. A new trial date has been awarded to the two companies who are doing battle over the Bratz games and some elements that Barbie is said to have as well. In the original lawsuit, Bratz maker MGA Entertainment accused Barbie maker Mattel of taking some times from the Bratz line and using them on the Barbie line. Mattel then countersued that MGA was actually in copyright violation since the man credited with the creation of the Bratz games actually worked at Mattel at the time.

It’s tricky to say who’s right and who’s wrong, but it’s getting a bit tiresome. Surely by now they could have worked something out. Bratz games lost the first lawsuit and was ordered to turn over everything related to Bratz. That judgment was overturned and now things are back up in the air. Hopefully it will all work out eventually.

Bratz Games and Moxie Girlz


Bratz games are on the way out I suppose, which is troubling, of course. Fortuantely, there is a new urban doll sensation just lying in wait to take over the Bratz spot in the fashion doll world. Moxie Girlz are everywhere on television and on the pink doll aisle in the toy store. I can’t seem to walk through a grocery store without seeing an advertisement for one or seeing the doll herself on the shelves somewhere. It’s interesting to see how quickly the Bratz were replaced by this group of friends who have similar characteristics.

All of the Moxie girlz are edgy and hip. They are a multicultural bunch with different hairstyles, skin colors, eye shapes and, of course, fashion sense. The Moxie Girlz have large doe-shaped eyes and wide pouting mouths. They have trim little figures and long flowing hair. They are extremely similar to the Bratz games with very good reason. They are made by the same company that started Bratz dolls. Fortuantely, at least the Moxie Dollz aren’t in the middle of a nasty lawsuit – yet.

Understanding Bratz Games


Like many online games, it’s the sheer simplicity of the Bratz games that make them so enjoyable. The Bratz games are straightforward, but they are also very engaging. In the Bratz games, you’re given a doll base that resembles the Bratz games you’ll find on store shelves. Once you get the hair and make-up correct on your Bratz game, you’ll start selecting the clothing styles for the look you want to create. The styles of clothing vary, but all Bratz games feature urban styles with plenty of character.

The Bratz games give you freedom to choose the clothing and then accessories before you finish your first look. Once you’ve made one Bratz doll online, you’ll be drawn into the games and likely start making even more dolls. Make new outfits and design looks that you love. You can use the looks on the Bratz dolls or perhaps even use those looks to create a design you can enjoy in your own wardrobe.
