#bratz comeback

[bratzies]

Wait so are all the new bratz gonna be in stores by July 25th im America? Because i heard august 31st.

July 25th is the street date for TRU. I don’t know about other retailers, but people have found dolls at Walmart and Target, but I’m not sure if they were put out early. You can expect to start seeing Bratz at TRU on the 25th. I’ll be heading there in the morning before I go to work.

Hi, I don't know if you noticed but on the US toys r us website preorder doll descriptions it says: Collect all 6 Bratz® dolls from the Hello My Name Is Series - Cloe, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha, Raya, and Cameron. So I guess Cameron is being released later on? Thanks.

I haven’t seen any official confirmation for Cameron, so I don’t know. I would think that would mean he would be released at some point if the website says that, but I honestly have no idea.

I was obsessed with Bratz since a very young age. My parents got me nearly every doll and I loved the movies including the cartoons and the actors playing them. I just recently realized how much I actually love these dolls and I wanted to buy another, maybe a boy one because I never had a male one before. But regardless, I wanted to know if the female and male Bratz are worth buying? Like if they're somewhat alike the original Bratz? And prices? If the quality is good?

Are you talking about the 2015 dolls? If so, no Boyz have been confirmed as of yet. As far as the new Bratz, from what I’ve seen the quality is good (I don’t own any yet, but several people here on Tumblr do and they’ve said it’s pretty good) and the prices range from $14.99 USD to (I’m assuming) $19.99 USD for deluxe dolls (Hello My Name Is dolls are $14.99 and #selfiesnaps are $16.99 as far as I know).

I am excited about the Bratz coming back, but I confess I prefer the faces as they used to be. The new faces kinda remind me of why I dislike the Ever After High dolls - they all have the same empty expression. That said, I know it's too early to judge the new line and I'm very happy about the accessories and the return of the real fashion thing. I really hope the new faces will grow on me. But just in case I don't... do you think the new clothes will fit the older dolls?

From what I’ve seen, the new clothes are made to be compatible with the old dolls. However, I have no basis for comparison seeing as I don’t own any of the new dolls yet, so I couldn’t say for sure. Even if it isn’t a perfect fit, I think they should still fit just fine.

I think what's keeping me back from loving the new dolls completely are the faces. They're very dead looking to me. Like maybe not dead, but just not THERE. I also don't like how Yasmin, Cloe and Sasha are using the same screenings. This is only the beginning and I just know things will get even better and better from here.

It does kind of bother me that the screenings are the same for them, and I’m hoping that changes with time. I love how Bratz screenings were so unique between dolls (except for when they reused some, which turned out to be more amusing than anything, how many dolls have the Princess Jade screening?).

Where did that person read that MGA is starting off with budget lines? Snow Kissed is obviously not a budget line. Just wait and see what is to come because there is a lot in store for us.

Snow Kissed is not, no. However, the conversation about budget dolls had more to do with the fact that HMNI and #SS are budget lines and are the first we’ve seen of all the new Bratz. People were condemning Bratz from the start, but it was pointed out that because these two are budget lines, there is way more in store and the deluxe lines are likely to be pretty amazing.

I read that MGAE is starting the reboot off with budget dolls so maybe they'll get better and more like the old ones ?

That’s what I’ve seen has been said. Really, only time will tell. We’ve only seen maybe 10 dolls so far (3 #SS, 4 HMNI, 3 of the winter line), but there is that whole list of dolls that was recently posted. Those lines are all 2015 and I’m sure a lot of them will be deluxe lines, like Metallic Madness and Study Abroad maybe? Those seem like they’d be deluxe lines. Guess we’ll see where within the next few months as dolls start showing up.

I was disappointed with the reboot dolls we have seen so far but reading your posts has opened my mind. You're right, we should wait until we judge.

I’ll admit when I first saw them I my reaction wasn’t entirely positive. I had my hopes seriously high that they were going back to the original dolls, even though I knew that that wouldn’t actually be the case. So seeing them so different was shocking, but as the shock wore off I grew to love them and am eagerly awaiting their return (just over a week away!). Seeing thatdamnchristian‘s pictures of them really helped too!
