Barbie won't settle for $100 million, wants complete destruction of Bratz

HAHAHA! I've spent the whole day at work sick with a sinus infection (don't worry, I work with my husband so I'm not sneezing on any unsuspecting coworkers) and your comment was the only thing this whole day that has made me smile! Thanks!

I have no sympathy for Mattel. I sent them a prottype drawing of a sports car oufitted with seatbelts, they wrote me a letter saying that they were not interested in the idea and about a year or so later, guess what the cars have?

I'm 14, and me and my sister do own our share of Bratz dolls. But of course I don't play with them anymore; but my sister is counting on this doll we found in a store that was like a winter version of the black doll; problem is she's 10 and demanding and wants it for Christmas. If Mattle wins, there could be a controversey anyway. As for me, growing up in the 90s, all I had was Barbie: workout Barbie, gymnastics Barbie etc. So I really wouldn't care if they didn't have Bratz anymore, but it just goes to show what people will do to take out the competition.
P.S. I do like the clothes on the dolls though, some of them I would wear, but excluding the high heels! : )

seriously, havign two little girls with brown hair....I think Mattel is being a bit "biased" if you catch my drift. They only have two- maybe three barbies of different ethnicity.

that was awesome, thanks for the laugh! LOL

Are you people listening to yourselves? Who cares? Our economy is in the toilet and you are arguing over dolls. People get a grip.

They should make a Michelle Obama doll...but not sure Mattel wants to spend that much money making dresses for it

Why doesn't Mattel take over the line? This way minority little girls can have a choice.

Good one. That's funny ;)

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! GREAT comment. Wish I'd said that!!!

Took me a moment, but that's funny.

XD

instead we got ken. good looking on the outside but still fake as hell

after an 11 hr day at work, where i had to pull extra due to payroll cuts, that was one of the funniest comments i've read in a long time. and i normally don't read these comments. thanks makimaus.

HAHAHA! Makimaus, you made my day with that comment!!!! Here's another one- Quaker Oats should be doing really well now because Aunt Jemima is our first lady! And the watermelon industry is gonna be great the next four years! LOL! In case it flew over your head, I am calling you a sexist. What you said isn't funny- it's offensive and dismissive. Go home and rethink your life.

If this is your kind of wit, you must be retarded and lonely.

The RNC has a pattent on this doll and her $150,000 wardrobe. Contact me about franchise deals.

Maki - Your the IDIOT. We sold one of 6 Original Barbie's still in the box for $7500. I wouldn't give you 75 cent for a Bratz doll. Just a dumbing down of your sick society

I think in general these dolls are a disgrace, and not the type of "roll-model", or generally speaking the "look" we are trying to tell our little girls to follow. I mean seriously, who is the target market for these dolls? What are their ages people? Do we really want our 5-8 year olds thinking "hey, I want to dress like this, and it must be okay b/c Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa got me this doll". We look at society today and the things girls are seeing and exposed to at such an early age, this is just another thing, all-be-it not the most extreme example, but, example enough. I am not old, I am 31, not extremely conservative but I know what I was exposed to as a child and to have dolls on the market that teach girls to dress slutty, wear lots of make-up, and hold seductive glances on their faces, well I guess with everything else we don't have control over this is a no-brainer. Get rid of Bratz dolls, I know Barbie/Mattel has their own reasoning aside from my view here, but now is the time to speak up and help Barbie put the squash on the Bratz.
