I have been noticing that Bratz and Bratzillaz dolls are not being restocked at my local Target and Walmart (Toys R Us is still getting a few. ) but Tina was the first person who explained to me what is going on. Apparently, MGA plans to take a year-long Bratz hiatus in 2014, during which time they will remove their products from the shelves in the United States and revamp the brand for a 2015 re-release. This is similar to what the company did after the big lawsuit with Mattel in 2010, but apparently the quality and sales of the dolls have not been up to standard since that time.

I think the original announcement of this news is the article written over at Bratz Boulevard. It's a great article with an optimistic long-term perspective, but it leaves me with some head-scratchers. First of all, it doesn't seem like a real hiatus if the dolls are are still being developed and sold in other countries. Does that mean that there will be some new Bratz dolls in other parts of the world, but they'll just be harder to get in the United States. perhaps with higher shipping costs? There's some equity here, given that the situation is usually reversed. The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is that quality is being cited as a reason for the re-invention of the brand. I don't know much about Bratz dolls, but I have quite a few Bratzillaz, and while the quality of these dolls was not great at first (Meygana's hair. ugh!), I have seen steady improvement over the last few years.

After hearing about MGA's decision, I'll admit that I did a bit of panicked Bratzillaz hoarding. I went to Amazon and ordered a few dolls from the Back to Magic series and a few from the Witchy Princesses line (they're all on sale!). All of my new dolls impressed me from inside their boxes. It was actually quite difficult to choose a single doll to review, so I decided to show you a doll from each group. Here are Angelica Sound (from the Witchy Princesses, $12.95) and Illiana Honesty (from Back to Magic, $13.98):

The reason I am excited about this particular group of dolls is that they all come with bird cage hats.

Can I just say, it's hard for me to imagine a company having trouble with sales when they're offering dolls with glowing bird cage hats.

I have always liked the style of the Bratzillaz box art. These cartoon versions of the characters are even prettier than the dolls. Angelica's drawing is especially nice because of the adorable little (glowing!) bird in her hat:

This wave of Bratzillaz features three princesses who were trapped inside of a book by the jealous Tona Toola. The other Bratzillaz hear the princesses' birds crying out, and this launches them on an adventure to find and rescue the princesses.

The princesses are named Carolina Past, Siernna Calmer and Angelica Sound. Each princess has a special power: Carolina can see into the past (I can see into the past, too, or at least the past few weeks), Siernna has the power to keep anyone calm (I wish I could do that) and Angelica has the power to manipulate sound (I frequently say "hush" to my dogs, but it doesn't do anything).

I have seen all of the Witchy Princess dolls in the stores, and I think Angelica and Carolina are the prettiest. Siernna has very pale forward-glancing eyes that make her look crazed. Also, what is up with that name? If anyone out there is named Siernna, please accept my apologies, but to me, this sounds like the drunken pronunciation of "Sienna". or like how people might say that name here in Maine.

The box design for Bratzillaz has not changed much over the years from what I can tell. It is still fairly easy to pull off the plastic front of the box, which gives excellent access for removing the doll and her accessories. Angelica does not come with a stand, which is too bad. The Magic Night Out dolls came with stands, so I assumed that only the basic dolls like the Midnight Beach crew would be without them. Angelica does come with the useless plastic broom brush, though:

The only difficult parts of Angelica's de-boxing were the three (three!) plastic ties in her head, and this fancy hair-control extravaganza:

I was extremely eager to get a close look at the bird cage hat. It's a small domed cage attached to a black headband:

Siernna's hat has a different design, with a larger cage that's missing a floor--it just sits directly on the doll's head. Personally, I would not wear a bird cage hat unless the cage offered some line of protection between me and the bird. I have four birds, and I've seen what kind of mess they can make. No thank you.

Angelica and Carolina's birds have smaller, fully-enclosed cages. There's even a molded door area (but it doesn't open):

The bird is a very pale glow-in-the-dark greenish yellow color and has no painted details. He's a little hard to see through the chunky bars of the cage. He has bits of black string (hair? Plastic?) stuck on him in some areas--the most obvious one is on his beak:

Fortunately, the cage comes apart very easily (without breaking anything) and so I could remove the bird for a clearer picture:

This little guy doesn't glow very much--certainly nowhere near as brightly as what is suggested in the commercial. I tried to get some pictures of him glowing, but the light was too faint and it faded too quickly. This was a slight disappointment, but I'm still thrilled with the fact that he glows at all.

The cage sits off to one side of the headband, so Angelica has to wear the hat on one side of her head or the other. It doesn't fit on the left side because one of her hair twists sits too far back:

Angelica has great hair. There's no comparison between this hair and the hair on the first wave Bratzillaz dolls. Her hair is very long and slightly wavy, yet it's not at all difficult to manage. The fiber is soft and smooth and has a fun two-toned sugary pink color that reminds me of Ever After High Cupid.

I love the three hair twists at the top of Angelica's head. This is a simple style that could easily be taken down, but it doesn't get in the way of brushing the back of the hair, and it adds a quirky element of fun to the character's style.

The only problem with this hair is that each twist is tied off with a clear rubber band that leaves a short section of hair hanging down the back of Angelica's head. Two of these sections are beautifully blended in with the longer hair, but on my doll one of the ends sticks out quite a bit and is hard to tame:

Angelica has pale pink side-glancing eyes with heavy eyeshadow. Her eyebrows are simple black lines, but she has some additional scrolling embellishments decorating her left eye:

Her eyeshadow has three bands: a pale outer band that starts right below her eyebrows, a thin middle band of bright pink, and a layer of dark burgundy above her eyes.

The eyes are very unique. The irises are pale pink with darker pink spikes and squiggles. The design almost looks like flames in some places:

I have always liked the style of the Bratzillaz box art. These cartoon versions of the characters are even prettier than the dolls. Angelica's drawing is especially nice because of the adorable little (glowing!) bird in her hat:

Reviews for "Unleash Your Inner Princess with Bratzillaz Dolls"

1. Emily - 1/5 stars

I was extremely disappointed with "Bratzillaz magical princesses". The dolls looked cheaply made and the overall quality was very poor. The packaging was also lackluster and did not reflect the magical princess theme as advertised. Not to mention, the dolls' hair was easily tangled and difficult to style, making it frustrating for both children and parents alike. I expected more from a brand like Bratzillaz and definitely will not be purchasing any more products from them in the future.

2. John - 2/5 stars

I had high hopes for "Bratzillaz magical princesses", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The storyline was repetitive and lacked depth, making it uninteresting to follow. The dolls themselves were not as visually appealing as I had hoped, with uninspired outfits and accessories. The overall design seemed rushed and lacked attention to detail. While the idea of magical princesses is intriguing, the execution in this case was underwhelming. I would not recommend this product to others looking for a captivating and imaginative play experience.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars

"Bratzillaz magical princesses" left much to be desired. The dolls were not as sturdy as I would have liked, with limbs that easily detached from the body. The inclusion of magical powers felt forced and irrelevant to the overall play experience. Additionally, the dolls did not stand well on their own, requiring additional support for display or play. The marketing for this line created high expectations, but the product itself did not live up to them. I would advise potential buyers to look elsewhere for a more satisfying and durable toy option.

4. Alex - 1/5 stars

I regret purchasing "Bratzillaz magical princesses". The dolls' faces were poorly painted with uneven features, giving them a somewhat creepy appearance. The clothing was flimsy and not well-made, with threads coming loose after only minimal play. The accessories included were generic and did not align with the magical princess theme. Overall, the overall quality of this product was disappointing and did not justify the price. I would not recommend this brand or product to anyone, as it did not meet even the most basic expectations of a children's toy.
