Bratz Games and Style


I’ve always been a bit envious of the Bratz games. These plastic and rubber dolls sure do know how to turn on the style, and when they do, they manage to dress without a bad outfit – ever. Sure the Bratz games might feature teenage girls in urban styles that might be a bit short or sassy for the rest of us to wear at any given time, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t all work to achieve just a bit of the style these fashion dolls have.

The Bratz games have been through a lot over the years, but despite all of the lawsuits and drama, they are still just as trendy and fashionable as they were years ago. The Bratz dolls represent a variety of races and they manage to incorporate a variety of styles as well. The dolls are a rich experience of style and fashion combined with a fair amount of creativity. If nothing else, they inspire me to practice a bit of fashion creativity, turning otherwise ordinary clothing into something worthy of the Bratz games.

Bratz Games and the Holidays


The holidays are fast approaching and it’s time to start finding the perfect gift for all of the various girls in your life. What could possibly be better for a group of tween girls than a collection of the Bratz games? Bratz games are more urban and desirable than he traditional Barbie games an when you might get in trouble for bringing a young girl a collection of Barbie dolls if she thinks she’s too old for them now, you won’t have the same trouble with the Bratz dolls. The simple truth is that the Bratz games are simply cooler than Barbie ones.

Bratz games might not be as well known as the Barbie ones, but they are just as popular with the older girls who aren’t yet teens. These girls still enjoying dressing up dols and playing with fashions, but they aren’t yet ready to claim to play with dolls anymore. Bratz games do a great job helping to bridge that gap for them, and the games make a great gift for you to buy as well.

Bratz Games and Creativity


It’s nice to be able to play a creative game once in a while and the Bratz games certainly deliver on this aspect. How many games do we have these days that encourage us to follow a particular pattern or quest? How many dolls already have names and roles established? Many of them even have set lines that they can say or preordained relationships. That doesn’t mean you have to actually match up Barbie and Ken, but it’s nice that Bratz games have far less of a backstory to stand in your way.

When you play with Bratz games, you can make the dolls do just about anything you want them to do and nobody can tell you differently. Just try making Barbie a tough-talking teen delinquent and see how many protests you get from your friends. Bratz games though are perfect for many roles – they transition well between tough-talking teen and pretty prom queen thanks to their pretty features and bright hair combined with their urban wardrobe and fun accessories. Over all, the Bratz games let you create, and that’s always an adventure.

Bratz Games and Growing Up


One of the most interesting thing about the Bratz games is the market they reach. All of us remember playing with Barbies growing up, but there was a point that we stopped the Barbies because we had too many other, cooler things to do. Or at least we thought we did. There was definitely an itch to pull those dolls out and keep playing for a few more years, but we didn’t want to be the only friend still working on new fashions for a princess or bride doll.

Fortunately, the Bratz games solved a lot of these problems for us by introducing a new type of doll that gives us a bit more time when it comes to fashion decisions. You can play with Bratz games for years past the time period that you’d normally have to stop your Barbie games and nobody blinks an eye. It’s cool to play with the Bratz games because the Bratz games are simply cool themselves. It’s a shame you can’t say that much for the Barbies past a certain point, but so long as you have your Bratz games, your love of fashion games can go on for years.

Bratz Games


Easily one of my favorite games is becoming rather blasé in the fashion doll aisle. I had to really search today to find the Bratz games among the many other sorts of dress up dolls. There were rows upon rows of Barbie games, which wasn’t too surprising, but there were also so many different sorts of vampire girls and some Moxie girls as well. There really weren’t very many Bratz games and it does make you wonder a bit of the Bratz dolls aren’t going to be around much longer – maybe they really are going to be phased out after the drama of the various lawsuits.

While it would be terrible, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if MGA Entertainment focused on some of its newer dolls instead of the old Bratz dolls who have been such a point of contention between the two companies. Of course, after the huge lawsuits fought over the dolls, it really wouldn’t make much sense for the two sides to suddenly just agree to quit the dolls all together. The legal troubles are over and the dolls might not be hugely popular right now, but I’ll bet they will be again.

Bratz Games Stage a Comeback


The Bratz games have definitely suffered over the last few years, but they seem to be staging a comeback at last. The courts decided that the Bratz games didn’t infringe on any legal things, and with all the lawsuits resolved in their favor, the maker of the Bratz games are getting started making new games and toys and bringing the Bratz games back to party in a big way. It’s a good thing, too, since there were so many new fashion dolls looking to take over some of Bratz games property.

Bratz games haven’t always been welcome with open arms, but they are now. When they were first introduced years ago, the Bratz games were considered rather risqué, but today looking down the pink doll aisle in the toy store is very enlightening. Vampire dolls, teenagers in revealing clothing and any sort of pop star is showing up and it’s not always a good thing. Bratz games will at least bring back one more kind of choice.

Bratz Games Win Again!


The news coming out of courtrooms these days seems to favor the Bratz games. After years of lawsuits back and forth, it appears that the courts have finally awarded the final prize to the Bratz games, reversing a decision by the earlier courts that awarded the biggest prize to Mattel, the maker of Barbie games. While it’s likely that no money has changed hands yet, the ongoing legal battles have been an integral part of the fashion doll industry in recent years and it’s going to be just as interesting to see what happens now.

For a while it looked like Mattel was going to win the case and pull Bratz from the shelves. Now it may just be that the Bratz dolls get even more love and attention from the “tweens” who are the primary market of the dolls and the Bratz games may slip into a greater position in the market. At one time, soon after they were introduced, the urban-styled Bratz games were almost neck and neck with Barbie games.
