Bratz Games Growing Up


Growing up, you might have played with Barbie dolls and then perhaps the Bratz dolls available in the toy aisle of your favorite store. But the real Bratz fun these days are on the games that are online. Online Bratz games are the direction the dolls and characters you loved seem to be going. It’s a safer place and it’s not one that is looking at huge potential lawsuits – unlike the plastic version of the dolls.

Bratz games began as a fashion doll to compete with the Barbie games of the world. The popular Bratz dolls were a variety of ethnicity and had a much more sophisticated, urban look. Now those young dolls are online, but in a way that even older girls can enjoy them. In dress up games, you get to find various clothing options and design styles and looks for the dolls. Each time you dress a doll, the look is totally new, and the fun of designing looks and coming up with stories for the characters isn’t slowed down by struggling to get the little arms and feet into the outfits. It’s a true grown-up version of the games.

Bratz Games and Fun


There is no doubt that Bratz games are a great adventure online. I don’t mean adventure in the sense that there are rocket ships and light sabers, but more in the sense that you can always try something new. When you play Bratz games online, you’ll find the same dolls that you’ve always loved and adored, but with those dolls comes a grand sense of fun. You can make them into any style of doll you’d like.

Bratz games give you the options to change up clothing styles and designs until you have the look that you’re seeking. Sometimes you might not even know what it is you’re looking for, and in that case you can just play around with the fashions and accessories in the game until you find the one that really suits your preferences in that moment. Of course, when you’re done with one doll, you can then move on to another one and another – creating fashions and new styles until you’ve had as much fashion fun as you can stand in a single day.

Bratz Games and Fashion


Bratz games are easily the most fashionable of all the dress up games available online or off. When you browse the doll aisle in a major toy store, you’ll see plenty of dolls available. The difference between the dolls, however, is how well received they are when you take them home or give them as gifts. Bratz games are hugely popular with young girls because they are more urban, trendy and representative of young people today.

What that means to the girls who love the games is that bringing home a Bratz doll means you’re much more likely to bring home a doll that looks a lot like the children today. Our ideal child is no longer blonde haired and blue eyed. She might have skin of any color and hair to match. There’s no ideal beauty and girls like to play with dolls that look a lot like they do. This means that the Bratz dolls are a perfect representation of the way the young girls see themselves – stylish, good looking and fabulous.

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.
