Bratz Dolls: Cool Dolls for Cool Girls
As many doll collectors (and little girls, of course) know, 2005
has been the "year of the Bratz." Bratz dolls have replaced
Barbie dolls in many countries as the top selling dolls,
bringing an end to Barbie's control of the doll market and
giving birth to what may be called "the age of the Bratz dolls."
But what's the main reason behind little girls preferring Bratz
dolls over their formidable competition? The answer is simple:
coolness. While a lot of moms out there seem to avoid buying
Bratz because of their diva looks, the excess of makeup on the
dolls' faces, their bad attitude expressions and the "trashy"
clothes they wear; these precise features are what make little
girls (and not-so-little too) go crazy for Bratz dolls. Let's
face it: reality shows us that more and more young women every
day tend to adopt the latest fashions and trends, so it is
rather logical for a little girl to prefer stylistic Bratz dolls
over the more conservative and outdated Barbie dolls.
It seems to me that MGA Entertainment (the creator of Bratz
dolls) made the right choice when they started producing these
cool fashion dolls back in the summer of 2001 since these
chunky, ten-inch vinyl dolls are the number one choice among
girls between 8 and 12 years of age.
Maybe the reason for the popularity of the Bratz dolls is the
large number of accessories available: from clothing for
different seasons to mini-malls, from a sushi restaurant to a
cool disco, these Bratz seem to know how to have fun! The
different Bratz available include: Bratz Angelz (yes, they are
rock stars!), and of course the Angelz tour bus and party plane
(every rock star should have one...), the cool Wild West Bratz
(I just love those little cowboy hats and the horse), the plain
Step Out Bratz dolls, and (my favorites) the Bratz Campfire
Girlz. There is also a couple of little Bratz (the Bratz Babiez,
Phoebe and Roxxi) to choose from. I specially recommend the
Bratz Holiday Doll, a nice lovely doll with a beautiful long
evening dress.
There is also a huge number of cool playsets for the Bratz,
including the CampFire tent, the limousine, a sushi - karaoke
bar, the Bratz shopping mall, the retro cafe, and a vast
selection of different places where your Bratz dolls can hang
out.
MGA Entertainment has, as has many other doll-producing
companies, introduced a line of makeup and many other lifestyle
products for girls to complement the "Bratz dolls experience."
Maybe the biggest news in this area is the brand new line of
Bratz electronics. A portable DVD player, a digital video
recorder (yes, a Bratz camcorder!) and a TV/DVD combo are just
some of the Bratz dolls electronic products available. Bratz
dolls DVD's, a video game and even a movie to be released this
year complete the magical Bratz dolls world.
