What Happened to Bratzillaz?

[@T-mack56]

I got a say that of all the short lived/discontinued doll lines we got over the years, Bratzillaz is one of the ones with the biggest wasted potential imo. I said this before on my Tumblr. And it bares repeating here: I feel like Bratzillaz would've been better off playing up the "cute witch" type of magical girl theme (Think anime like Ojamajo Doremi, Sugar Sugar Rune & Mahou Tsukai Precure.) but with a more stylish twist that MGA is known for rather than the spooky monster/horror doll aesthetic that Monster High helped popularized. Not only would it have helped them stand out more. It also would've been a great opportunity to have a magical girl themed fashion doll line that wasn't a licensed property. Especially in the US. I also think it was better off being it's own stand alone franchise rather than as a Bratz spinoff. Since outside of the characters being the quote unquote "witchy cousins of the bratz" it basically has little to do with the Bratz brand.

[@kingdomorange2]

I like how you said they should’ve made it separate from the Bratz. I can see why they made the relationship in the first place but honestly to me even when I was making this video Bratz never really came to mind. So I’m not really sure if that is a good thing or bad one.

[@PrincessLioness]

Wjat do you think of little Witch Academia?

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

The Bratzillaz animated series on KZbin was released back in 2012 and then after the start of 2013 the series end. I would have thought Bratzillaz would continued on just like Monster High, Ever After High and D.C. SuperHero Girls but it didn't and it's a shame because I wanted to see brand new episodes from Bratzillaz as well as more new characters too.

[@dioncii8902]

Same, I actually really liked the show,

Still really fricking tired of people insisting kids don’t deserve good media. 100% here for everything you said!

[@ChromeVA]

As someone who grew up with Monster High at the same time Bratzillaz was out and loved the Bratz movies on Netflix thought it was cool to have something Bratz on store shelves and enjoyed the early webisodes. Even if I didn’t realize it as like a 7 or 8 year old it was cool kind of seeing like a Monster High and Bratz mashup in a way in retrospect.

[@LucElementix]

"Bratzillaz... Bratzillaz... Bratzillaz... Glam Gets Wicked Tonight!" 💫 The song was kinda catchy. Even nowdays, I just have to listen it one time to get it in my head for the whole day! X) I like the concept of Bratzillaz: A school of witchcraft AND fashion had a huge potential. (And as a Harry Potter fan in the 2010 years, it was all I need!). The webisodes were... good. Nothing exceptional but I liked the style and atmosphere. As you said, it's just sad they didn't expand the universe of this magical academy. Some Bratzillaz dolls designs were interesting (I had been tempted by Megana and Jade from the first line back in 2012-2013) but still too shy to exploit their full potential as Monster High did. And no need to buy one doll to notice that the hair quality was as bad as recent Winx Club dolls! Plus, I'm maybe the only one but except for Megana's one, I NEVER thought their pets were cute. So Bratzillaz had a good concept but never managed to shine.

[@kingdomorange2]

The concept was truly amazing you’re right! They should’ve expanded on it more and made the dolls way better

[@Monie71793]

💯🥰

[@LadyB_20]

The Bratzillaz Commercial song still lives in my brain rent free.

[@kingdomorange2]

Bratzillaz witchy cousins of the Bratz. Brewin up some fun in Cafe Zap

[@Monie71793]

💯😩😂😂

[@FoxxerOW]

i just remembered it out of nowhere

[@Jane-ow7sr]

It's a shame, those outfits and designs were pretty creative (atleast to me) ngl Too bad it was dragged down by bad quality.

[@kingdomorange2]

You’re absolutely rightb

[@scarlett-moriko1543]

“SONG WASN’T CATCHY?!?” YOU ARE CRAZY HUN, IT WAS A BOP!!!!! I still have it on my playlist it’s so funky!

[@fluffy_kun06]

I remember getting Cloetta as a Christmas gift when I was 6. Those were fun times lol. I donated her to Goodwill in the end so I hope she goes to a loving child who will care for her :)

[@nemashan3701]

the concept was cool but i wish the names were different and the powers were more interesting. the broken hearts one is cool though because it doesn't just mean romance. it could be grief too

[@Man-wolf-]

I actually loved how the art work looked-g1 mh’s art gave me the same vibes as lenore (which i adore) the bratzillas give me a general gothic vibe and i really like it- my personal issue tho is their supposed to be related to the main four bratz but like-only sasha’s cousion actually looks like her😭 why are yasmin and jade’s cousins straight out white.. Edit: tbh fright song was prop the only mh song that looked closest to how the dolls look-i feel like mattel lowky gave up since looking at the city ghouls music video, the entire thing looks more like a disney channel song then a mh one

[@frogbubbletea.362]

Even the original bratzs was bad at skin tones some Yasmin’s were white and some Sasha’s were Yasmin’s skin especially in the art but I do agree Sasha’s is the only one that actually looks like they could be related

[@Man-wolf-]

@@frogbubbletea.362 homestly you arent wrong cause i wouldnt even be able to reconize yasmin and sasha in their own art works😭 Here its just weirder to me cause not only are the girls meant to be related but also cause bratz as a whole was always known to be very diverse-yet here its the total oppsite Even mh had a p diverse cast with both cleo and clawdeen and even lagoona being implied to be Aboriginal so its honestly so weird

[@SaintCharlos]

Jade, Sashabella and Yasmina had different skin tones compared to the other dolls, but they are whitewashed on the music video and art for some reason.

[@sarahthomas8670]

They were short lived but they impacted lmao. I remember singing the theme song and being obsessed with the cartoon show

[@AlbertWesker1960.]

I personally love the unique art style.

[@sierraburkhart]

me too honestly!

[@luvieNini]

Yea i love that poses it looks so cool and i love their unique faces like bratz

[@juvialockser2806]

I remember getting my first bratzillaz for Christmas when I was small. I wanted Jade J adore but I ended up getting meygana. And then I ended up losing her in my room. Years past and I still haven't found her, so I ended up ordering/buying her from mecari lol. But I DIDN'T KNOW they made more bratzillaz 😭😭 man I wish I knew

[@diddykong9161]

The fact that they did an official ad showing a next batch of dolls but was never released..

[@idk_somegirl]

I actually had the Back to Magic Meygana doll when I was younger, and I really loved her. I never watched the show or seen the commercials, I just saw the Back to Magic dolls at a gift shop I used to go to and I got Meygana. I think I was seven or six when I got the doll, maybe five, I don't really remember all that well honestly. I don't have her anymore though since her arm broke.

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

2:03 the art is so cute, nothing ugly about the poster

[@ellalee6601]

i’m sad that it discontinued because i bought meygana and vampina and they were my favorite characters. i also had so much fun playing the mobile game bratzillaz broom racerz

[@myav.8988]

not you indirectly coming after Stephanie Meyer for Jasper's power over emotions 😂 this was a great episode! I was always interested in the Bratzillas, so thank you for this breakdown!💜

[@kittymae335]

I just got a Yasmina Clairvoya who is missing her hat and cape - I didn't know about the budget versions/that she might have originally never had the hat! Her hair is a mess too but it's such a lovely colour and I'm going to see what I can do with fabric softener. Also, I had never seen the witchy princesses before and now I really want Carolina. In my opinion the reason they went the route they did with the powers was because something like 'mending broken hearts' would be easy for kids to incorporate into more 'social' and mundane play scenarios/stories. (But then they made one who controlled the weather, which just makes everyone else's powers look lame...)

[@twailacordelia334]

I'm not very familiar with the dolls since I've only recently discovered it. I was first introduced to it when my mom's friend (who's a doll collector with many shelf contain different limited dolls) gave me one of the doll as a gift. The character I got is Victoria Antique. I fell in love with her design and took care of it since then. I also played with her from time to time with my monster high dolls.

[@AnythingWinx]

i just remember getting some of the dolls and not even watching the shows 😭

[@locksofraphia]

calling the 2010 bratz art style hideous is a choice

[@agstars5469]

I’m sorry but I ate that theme song up when I was a kid 🤭and I have it in my “childhood songs” playlist🤣

[@Extroverted.]

These were such unique dolls so sad they ended so fast 😔

[@KahlilsC0uture]

Idc I love the Bratzillas dolls but the lore/Art style is a whole different story😭

[@ceeford9919]

I remember this. I think I found out about this series due to having a dvd that had the first one or two episodes in special features.

[@jonathanf2392]

The first doll line that interest me

[@natsukifan8736]

Tbh the thing with some of the powers sucking is because the characters wouldn't use it for bad because it's a kids show but like imagine how easy it would be to manipulate someone whose heart you've fixed, or how you'd be able to calm anyone down no matter if you did something horrible, like by twisting the powers into a darker narrative we could see how powerful some of the are (also that jade's cousin could literally save lives as it was cientifically proved that in fact a person can die of a "broken heart" or enormous emotional distress due to a small bien breaking and changing the shape of the heart altering the blood flow in a way that over the course of time would be fatal. I'm not making this up look it up

[@batrieniel]

i had the red and white doll in the thumbnail,i loved her a lot and brought her everywhere with my MH dolls

[@jessicamange2799]

i have a jade bratzilla (i think it was the dance/prom line) and she's one of my prettiest dolls imo

[@jillforbesforbes2873]

😊 oh my gosh I wish I owned the doll Jade when it came out not only do I have the same name I love her concept I love her look she is my most favorite I wish I could have gotten her when she came out 💕

[@kanataslover]

Brazilian felt like a fever dream

[@brandonpadilla5402]

I think it’s time they get a proper reboot but for collectors. Higher quality gorgeous designs. Final products on the level of the prototypes. We know Mga can do it after seeing dolls like the storm twins. They just need to get a good young designer in there. Someone who knows timeless trends.

[@jessy8253]

I was obsessed with these but everyone was very pale 😭

[@chaeyaya6601]

remembered the time i got bratzillaz when i was a kid and cried over it because someone accidentally sat on it and broke its body. 8 years have passed and im still crying over it

[@sarahmac27]

I have some of these dolls stored away because I think they are gorgeous. The glass eyes are beautiful. I don’t know, I just love them!

[@ArtiChan09]

I have the Cloetta doll. I used to have her as a kid, but ended up giving her away. I decided to buy her again second hand on eBay, and I thought her hair just needed a good washing. Well… Even after washing her hair, it was still kinda frizzy. Her joints are also a little loose and she’s kinda wobbly. I didn’t recognize those flaws as a kid, but I definitely recognize them now as an adult. I still like her tho. The glass eyes are really nice, and I like how the dolls are articulated, versus the OG Bratz where they’re not articulated.

[@starface2178]

The only thing I remember about that toyline was on the Argos catalogue. The premise was interesting but it required to have something to stand out so it wasn't a copy of other pre-existing toylines. Bratzillaz sure had a potential but oh well. I have been thinking about other powers witches could have such as: *Dream manipulation *Disguise as a shadow *Create and manipulate plants *Ice powers *Electricity manipulation

[@kingdomorange2]

Lol those are interesting powers! Maybe you shouldve been on the writing team!

[@KarlaDollz]

I grew up with the OG bratz and My Scenes I was older when Monster High and Bratzillaz where a thing so not until 3 years ago that I started collecting Bratz is that I knew of their existence.

[@cinnamonbunz4ever327]

In regards to their mundane powers it was shown/implied (in the cartoon at the very least) that the terms used were pretty vague. While some were on point, like Yasmina's clairvoyance, others had an extension to their powers (ex. Meygana could make your "dreams take flight", i.e a very light form of wish granting, Jade had love-based powers as opposed to just healing broken hearts). The cartoon also has an unaired episode...Well sorta. Fashion Bites, to my knowledge, isn't available on full on English, that is the ending is cut off.

[@ruhelullah2k]

I think powers like calming and heart affective ones are smart. Like for manipulation you could do Whatever you want and never get in trouble as long as you can calm people

[@Crystre]

Bratzillaz’s entered my life, made be obsessed and bi, then left as quick as they came (Genuinely wanted one but was never able to get one 😔)

I’m a little upset that Bratzillas had little to no diversity in the skin tones. Imagine how cool it would be to see a dark skinned girl will bright magenta hair.

„Doll copies do not work“ I do agree 100% BUT not with my scene and bratz - both doll lines are heavily sought after

Quality control for the line was bad. I got a Yasmina doll and her tattoo wasn’t properly sealed so it started to rub off within a few minutes out of the box. I had to personally seal it with nail polish top coat.

when my siblings and I saw the commercial they knew about the rivalry and said that they were begging to get sued or something,I didn't know about the rivalry so my siblings told me,I like the music video,I think I saw some of the webisodes anyway I was more of a barbie girl back when they were fully articulated sadly I was a monster and only have one fully articulated barbie because the other one got bisected and I'm not sure how to fix her but I can't get a new one because she's no longer in stores.

[@OfficialZuriania]

When I was like 10 years old, I was also psyched when I dance and sing to the Bratzillaz music video after I posted today's art on my deviantART account, but 1 month later I've purchased all of the five Bratzillaz dolls back from 2012, and in 2013, I've purchased more of them to collect them all to complete my collection of Bratzillaz and on January 2014 after Bratzillaz are discontinued the Bratz were on a hiatus and that's why I'm back to purchasing some old dolls that were brand new in mint condition and packaging on eBay. ❤‍🔥✨🪄💔🧹
