somehow i ended up looking at bratz dolls on amazon and there are some with big heads and feet and some with smaller heads and feet that are more proportional. whatsupwiththat

Different eras, the originals had big heads and chunky feet.

Over the years from the launch until 09 the heads and bodies stayed the same but the feet being a separate part that detached could be updated. So as styles in footwear changed they did too, so they’d still be big but also pointy instead of rounded.

After the Mattel lawsuit MGA lost the rights to Bratz and had to stop making them. When they won the rights back because a judge ruled it was just sour grapes by Mattel and that they had to learn to deal with competition for real and not just litigate to death, MGA got the rights back.

They came back with dolls with slightly smaller feet and re-sculpted (but roughly the same size) heads and bodies.

By 2014 the damage done by Mattel’s lawsuit was taking it’s toll and MGA made a few lines with bodies very similar to the Barbie fashionista bodies (the old articulated ones not the new static ones) the heads and feet were the same the bodies just made them look more proportional.

They didn’t sell well and they took a years hiatus to relaunch.

In 2015 they came out with new dolls that tried to redo the Bratz concept for the new generation of like, political dolls cause we live in an age when a doll can’t just be pretty and fun and has to have some stupid “empowering message”.

They enlarged the heads and feet and completely redid the whole doll.

They lasted for a couple of years but really really didn’t sell well. Bratz fans hated them because they spat in the face of everything Bratz was and had been all to appease mommy bloggers who thought Bratz was too edgy.

Once again MGA took a hiatus on the brand, and this time went back to the roots, they completely purged ALL icons, branding and content related to the 2015 dolls from all social media and reverted to the original 2001 logo and slogan and are launching the brand as a collectors brand for adult doll collectors who are tried of the childish designs of brands like Barbie.

Those are 2 of the 5 dolls coming out. I really can’t wait tbh.

You’re never going to be 100% ready and it’s never going to be just the right time, but that’s the point. It means that every moment is also the right moment. If you want it, you just have to do it.
