Week 8 EOC: Bratz Brawl

When I was a young girl, I was very fond of my barbies, they were some of my favorite toys as a kid; I had so many barbies, it was ridiculous. I had totes full of barbie stuff and I still have barbies that are in their original boxes to this very day. I collected Barbies and it was actually a hobby of mine, to collect them and then keep them in the boxes, it was one of the hardest things I had to do because I kept myself from paying with them, so that one day they would be valuable. But, my thoughts on the Brats Brawl article is just as this; I feel that the people who built the barbie doll, have every right to say that the MGA Entertainment Inc stole their ideas and their models when they made the Bratz doll's. The barbie doll came out a long time ago, and way before the Bratz doll ever did. Not to mention the Brats doll looks a lot like the barbie doll, except some people say that the Bratz doll is more cuter than the barbie look. The Barbie look is more of the perfect model look, tall, blonde hair, thin. This article is stating the facts about the dispute over the ownership rights to the to the Bratz line of dolls, which I dont think there should be any dispute. To me, the MGA Entertainment totally took the creator of the barbie doll's ideas and look, everything. The glitzy Bratz girls were the first challengers to Barbie, whose sales began to soften as the Bratz doll's popularity increased. Barbie sales had dropped 30% from 2004, which was affected by the MGA's newer, hipper doll. By 2006, the Bratz doll had captured about 40% of the fashion doll market and posed as the biggest threat to Barbie since her debut in year 1959. I remember when the Bratz doll's came out and I never once thought they were anything like or compared to Barbie. In fact I thought the Bratz doll's were ugly.
