Bratz production to end.

LOL - great analogy. Those reborns creep me out, but at the same time I get how they can be fascinating to people.

Me too..

And what about the Cabbage patch doll craze !

I don't know anything about the re-borns...but from looking it up on google it was something I would HAVE wanted.
As an only child I always wanted 15+ kids so I loved ANY kind of baby doll etc...baby-dolls were pretty much my life back in the 80's.

If these dolls were made in the United States, then I might feel bad about some factory workers losing their jobs.

I started to make one a ways back. Worked for weeks on the head and thought it looked pretty good for first try. Sons & famlies came over so brought out head to show DIL. Grandson freaked out...stood with hands on top of head crying "Don't take my head, Grandma". Felt like that Hannibel fella. It was not well received by older ones either so out it went.


Wonder why the Bratz are being pulled? ETA Should be in shelves until Jan/early feb.

The creator of Bratz LOL

I'm kind of surprised (and hurt) by some of the response here. So negative. I thought the toys were kind of weird but cute. I guess I liked them because I felt they sort of resemble me in my looks and dress. My friends kids like them and they have some at my house for when I sit. Its nice to know that I have crack ho eyes, need penecillin and a rehab playset. Seriously, some of that stuff isnt kewl to joke about. And having been on monitored house arrest before, that is nothing fun or funny either.

Please tell me you're kidding.

I think reborns are neat. Saw a BBC America special about them, it showed a lady who made them as well as some of the people who owned the dolls. Makes me want one hehe! I also think Blythe brand dolls are cute! I don't own either kind though. As for cabbage patch dolls, I have one from the 80's and always thought she was so ugly that she came right around back to cute again. She still has a faint cabbage patch scent about her too, ugh.. never did like that smell hehe

It's a shame that any company gets closed down, hopefully they all go on to grand things!

Well personally I think we dodged the bullet.
It was only a matter of time before these horrible little things awoke and armed themselves and turned the human race into slaves.
Ive been on to their evil plan from the begining.
I wont sleep well until every last one of then has been melted down to liquid plastic.
Oh sure laugh now...

That's too funny. When I was little and got a new doll sometimes the old one would be put in the closet. I used to think that she was mad at me and would come out at night and hurt me. I think my mom and sisters let me what too much Twilight Zone.

I wonder how many of those Bratz dolls on the shelf will end up in store workers' homes? Do the stores have to account for how many they still have. Maybe I should go buy another one.

Eh, its a Christmas marketing ploy...Everyone will run out and buy one now, either due to the fact that are slated to disappear or just to see what the hubbub is all about. Then, after Christmas, the headlines will read "Settlement Reached, Bratz Dolls to Remain in Production".
All I want for Christmas is a new tin-foil hat. The one I have now is having trouble blocking the subliminal signals from the "High School Musical" movies.

I have a nine year old daughter.
Resistance to " High School Musical" movies is futile.
As well as the Jonas Bro.s.and "Camp Rock"
When Ashley Tisdale got that nose job I was going to ground her then remembered she didn't really live at my house.

Yall will get a huge laugh out of this one... at my expense: today my J brought home one of these Bratz dolls... FOR ME! All because he heard they were going to be collector items. It's a big one, though... like 2 feet tall. Don't get me wrong, his heart was in the right place, but right now I feel like a hypocrite. And my daughter keeps picking at me about it,saying it has my blonde hair and big lips. I'm gonna kill her!

( I always get dolls at Christmas time... any day now, J will probably be walking in the newest Holiday Barbie for me... but a Bratz doll... I swear, karma is freaking playing a huge joke on me, today!)

Studies indicate they are not as effective as once though. The one I was issued upon becoming a moderator here still lets the oddest things through.

A 2 feet tall Bratz that looks like you LOL (at least it's not pocket size LOL) You must know the unwritten law of the doll world....once yours, you have to love.
May do well if you make your husband one of those tinfoil helmets. The Centurion is quite the manly one! And looks strong enough to block out the Bratz's siren song.


, MIT folks have a unique funny bone, sometimes what I've thought was a display of that funny bone, wasn't. So, with sleuthing hat on, I searched the article for truth. Deciphering MIT intent is difficult and frustrating yet I persevered in my deciphering.

Solved by perseverance! It is MIT humor as proven by this sentence: "(Please direct any queries to the authors, NOT these folks)". The 'folks' being their professors......they don't want their HUMOR to be a source of annoyance for their professors. :clap: ..:takeabow: ....

:waitasec: ... Maybe they don't want their professors knowing for fear the profs will claim the fame for their works.... :curses::curses::curses: MIT folks.

Are Bratz MIT Toy Lab graduates?

LOLOL Had to Google to see if Bratz creator went to MIT. Found this article:

"SOME TIME in 1998, doll designer Carter Bryant was driving past Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, when he had a revelation...
.....with their short skirts and bad attitudes the girls he saw outside the school....... ...He went home and made sketches that eventually became the controversial Bratz dolls loved by tweenage girls around the world."

LOL Poor Kickapoo High.

It's obviously a conspiracy amongst the tin-foil manufacturers to promote all the other conspiracies out there.
