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.

Sales on Bratz Games


I was at the toy store today and I noticed that there are some rather impressive sales going on. One of the same items that caught my eye were the Bratz games. The Bratz dolls and their accessories are apparently undergoing a restocking or a facelift because there seemed to be quite a few of them on sale. Of course, there were plenty that weren’t, so I’m certainly not implying that the Bratz games are on the way out – we’ve already been down that road, before.

As much as I love a good sale, I didn’t snatch up many of the Bratz games that I came across, even if they were marked down quite a bit. The dolls were adorable, of course, but frankly, I don’t know many girls who play with fashion dolls like the Bratz dolls. They seem more suitable for older girls, and the ones I know are still very much in the Barbie princess phase of girldom. Perhaps if there was a Bratz princess doll, I might reconsider, but I didn’t see one there today at least!

Bratz Games to the Rescue


It’s hard to think of Bratz games as being a source of rescue, but in this case it’s absolutely true! Bratz games are just the thing you need if you’re dreading taking on a babysitting gig, and you’re unsure of what you should bring for the kids to play with. Just a few of your old Bratz games are enough to make the babysitting adventure entertaining for both you and the kids.

Easy and fun, Bratz games were very popular when we were growing up, but now they aren’t quite as common as they used to. This means that you get to be the one to introduce new girls to the wonders of the Bratz games. Just think of how much fun it will be as you pull out the dolls, their urban wardrobes and even a few great accessories to really dress things up with the dolls. All told, having some Bratz games along with you when you head off for a babysitting gig can make things much easier and a great deal more fun as well.

Bratz Games and Stiff Competition


The Bratz games are up against some stiff competition. A recent trip down the doll aisle at the toy store confirmed that the Bratz dolls aren’t getting much shelf space any more. They aren’t getting much attention and I haven’t seen a Bratz game backpack in years. In fact, I would be surprised if the Bratz games didn’t just fade out over the next few years as other things come in.

Of course we have to thank the Bratz games for starting a new industry. Barbie decimated the fashion doll industry for decades and Bratz games help to break that up. But now that they have been pulled from the shelves and then put back again, it’s hard to remember that these urban fashion dolls were once almost as popular as the Barbie games. Of course, I hope that Bratz games don’t go away – it will be interesting to watch them and see if they can actually stage a decent come back in the next year or so.
