The Bratz


I stayed away from Bratz for a long time because of their "mature" makeup and clothing, but I finally held one and love the doll. A Bratz doll has a nice weight to it, and since the body is the same size and other dolls, it would be convenient to buy or make clothing interchangeable in a large crowd. Also, I had tried for years to get Katie to enjoy dolls with me, but nothing "took." Suddenly though she loved Bratz. We have a huge drawerful of Bratz and accessories, and I enjoy customizing them. I wouldn't mind selling some, though. Later project.

  1. I don't suppose by any chance you know how to add a Bratz head to an Obitsu body do you? I just ordered an Obitsu (27 cm) and it should be arriving this week.
