Bratz In the Wild Cloe & Yasmin now on TaoBao!

WOW! What can we say? We are totally loving the fresh, trendy look of this line, as well as the updated packaging – it almost looks like an ad for a trendy boutique rather than a box for dolls! The new logo is cute, but we’re happy to see the new brushes are sporting the “classic” logo, and hope that’s a sign the change isn’t permanent. One think I’m sure everybody noticed is that our girlz are now taller! You all remember our reports on these mysterious new bodies, and how we all hoped they were strictly for the Mermaidz. Well it looks like these new bods are in effect for all of the spring lines! In all honesty, we’re still trying to adjust to them, but hope this is one change that’s just seasonal (Our girlz need to have their signature look!). On a positive note though, check out their fashions! These girls are insanely trendy! We do wish they had the cute hats from the art, but luckily we’ve got similar hats from past lines anyways. The whole idea of the line is not what we were expecting, but is still really cute! We thought we’d be getting another more heavily-safari-inspired line (a la Wild Life Safari, Adventure Girlz, etc.), but these girls look to be rockin’ some jungle-inspired casual fashions and playing with cute animals that they’ve rescued themselves! Check out the lil’ animal trivia on the backs of their boxes.

New Bodies for 2013!

Hey Bratz Fans!

Tonight we’ve got a MAJOR update about what our girlz will be lookin’ like next year! We found one of next year’s Bratz dolls nude on TaoBao (The Chinese auction site where factory workers post their stolen goods and we get to see them long before they hit shelves stateside!) and were super surprised to see a NEW bod on her! Check out Yasmin’s new look below.

Notice that they’ve got the same arms as the Bratzillaz! They also appear to be a bit taller, which worries us a bit… Hopefully that’s just the photo though. What are your thoughts? Tweet us @BratzBoulevard, or let us know on facebook at facebook.com/BratzBoulevard!

Bratz Chic Mystique Meygan doll REVEALED!

Hey Bratz Fans!

Tonight’s update is on the new Chic Mystique Meygan doll! If you remember, we found her art work (as well as all of the other Bratz artwork for fall 2012 – major score on our part!) back in July, but until now, we haven’t heard anything about her! Today an ebay listing for her went up though, and confirms her release as a Toys R Us exclusive. Check out the seller photo below!

She’s certainly stunning in our opinions – definitely one of the best in the line! She appears to be inspired by a funky green parakeet, which is totally cute! So what do you all think? Let us know at the forum!

NEW Bratz Fall 2012 Fashion Packs in Stores Now!

Hey Bratz Fans!

Thanks to our awesome friend Krys AKA Dollsrmylife (Here’s his flickr!) we now know that MGA is continuing their line of Bratz fashion packs for fall – and we have photos!

The new Bratz fashions for fall! Click to view in full-size

Above are the four fabulous fashions in their boxes! Their names are “At The Mall“, “Casual Cool“, “Punk ‘n’ Prep“, and “Boho Chic“. “At The Mall” was actually the name of a Bratz Boyz fashion pack, and Punk ‘n’ Prep is a classic Bratz fashion pack name too! You can see both of the originals on our Bratz wiki page 🙂

All four new fashion packs, modeled on Krys’s Bratz! L-R: Casual Cool, Punk ‘n’ Prep, Boho Chic, and At The Mall. Click to view full size!

A big thank you to Dollsrmylife for allowing us to use his photos of some of the girls rockin’ these looks! Casual Cool is very sassy and sophisticated. With the gorgeous knitted poncho and tall purple boots, it’s perfect for fall! Punk ‘n’ Prep is a favorite of ours for those electric blue hounds-tooth pants alone! Boho Chic is definitely channeling some 70’s vibes in a colorful psychedelic print paired with those gorgeous boots. And At The Mall is perfect for when the Bratz go shopping! They’ve definitely gone back to the girls’ roots a bit with those bell-bottom jeans. Overall, we’re in love with these new looks and can’t wait to get them for our own dolls! But what does everyone else think? Head over to the forum and discuss! And again, a big big thank you to Krys for letting us use your photos!

Bratz Biker Babez REVEALED!

Hey Bratz Fans!

If you remember our second post, then you know there’s a line called Biker Babez coming out that we haven’t heard much of – until today that is! Our awesome friend Maxim shared a new (final!) promo picture featuring Meygan, Jade, Cloe, and Yasmin from the line! It hasn’t been confirmed that Sasha will be making an appearance in this collection, but it’s very likely that she will. 🙂

Biker Babez! L-R: Meygan, Jade, Cloe, and Yasmin!

Meygan is definitely the standout doll in this line for us! The very first thing we noticed was her dark brown lipstick, which is a major throwback to Meygan’s roots – we totally missed seeing our Funky Fashion Monkey with her dark, dramatic tones! Her hair color is also absolutely stunning, in a very bright red with a few auburn lowlights. Her outfit is very cool too, with her skin-tight black pants, skull motifs, and electric blue vest! Of course she’s got on her tattoo sleeves, as that is the main feature of the line.

Jade is a knockout as well! While she has done pink streaks a lot over the past few years, it’s one of her signature quirks and it works in a line like this. We love how MGA switched things up a bit and gave her grey eyes though! Her outfit is very Pretty ‘N’ Punk with her schoolgirl skirt, and the studded pink pleather top is giving us some major biker vibes!

Cloe’s probably the one whose look has been switched up the most here, and we love her! Her hair is very golden blonde here, as opposed to her usual platinum locks, and she’s also got some brown lowlights. Her makeup is very dramatic as well, with fire engine red lips that pop against her pale blue eyes! Her outfit is giving off some Britney vibes LOL, but we’re always down for a Brit nod! Like Meygan, Cloe’s got on skintight leggings, but her’s fit into her boots – which are also to die for, by the way! The chain belt is an awesome detail as well!

Yasmin is another standout for us. Immediately, we noticed that MGA is using her darker hair color for this line, and mixing in some raspberry colors as well! We like that MGA kept Yasmin’s earthy theme alive by giving her the least dramatic makeup in the line too. Her netted top with a black tube top underneath is a favorite piece of our’s, and we adore her high-waisted leather shorts too! Her peachy pink vest on top contrasts really nicely against the darker pieces. In our opinion, Yasmin looks like the one who’s most ready to hop on a Harley and ride off! And if you’ve seen the Bratz episode “Truth or Dare”, you’d know she already has! LOL

UPDATE: Bratz Pink Winter Dream

Hey Bratz Fans!

Sorry to post again just minutes after our last article, but we are proud to announce that we are the FIRST to share photos of the new Bratz Pink Winter Dream dolls’ prototypes, and a photo of Cloe in her box! Check our last post for photos of the dolls as they appear on shelves. 🙂

On the left are the three prototypes, and on the right is Cloe all wrapped up in her box! (Click photo for detailed view)

As you can all see, Cloe and Meygan thankfully don’t differ too greatly from prototype to production, but Yasmin is a whole other story! Her prototype sports a face very similar to the “Wild Life Safari” screening that MGA used on her a lot in 2009 (Spring Break Yasmin, Wild Life Yasmin, etc.) and she actually has an entirely new shoe mold as well! This line must be the sequel to Platinum Shimmerz, as a prototype from that line featured a still-unreleased boot mold too. We think the boots used on her prototype are simply amazing, and we hope MGA will incorporate it into another release somehow – it’s too detailed to go unused!

And Cloe’s box confirms that this fall’s lines will all have packaging in the style of this spring’s Funk ‘n Glow/3D Dance ‘n Glo line, with a box made almost entirely of colored cellophane, no interesting logos, and no artwork. This isn’t something that we’d like to see become a trend, so hopefully MGA will understand our concern and revert back to their older, more innovative designs next year. 🙂
