Title: Bratzillaz
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on March 11, 2012, 02:06:27 PM
So, it looks like MGA is coming up with a new line as an answer to Monster High...

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me. Bratz Ponyz, anyone? But I'm interested to see what the actual dolls look like. :)

Huh...interesting. I see capes, maybe a Monster High superheroish adaptation?? this'll be interesting to see what developes. XD

Hopefully this will be the next big thing in the toy community and leads the scalpers away from MH dolls so everyone else can get a chance in getting one! lol

Also, lets hope this doesn't start another lawsuit of some sort.

Well, just watch them release nice illustrations, nice stock photos... And deliver a crappy product like with the masquerade dolls. ):

If the clothing actually loooooked nice, I'd buy them for the clothes... But the quality never compares to the stock photos.

I really like the character art. It's the best Bratz art I have ever seen (it looks especially magical girl anime-inspired) and the girl with the pigtails and monocle is adooorable.

Actually, if you look reeeeeally closely, you can see that she doesn't have pigtails -- she has four braids. I thought it was pigtails at first too... I'm not sure how I feel about the braids. XD

The thing I don't really understand is the name. Are they going to be gigantic compared to the Bratz or are they going to have monstrous attitudes like a bridezilla but without the wedding?

Also, lets hope this doesn't start another lawsuit of some sort.

I don't think that will happen. If that was possible Hasbro would have sued Mattel over the Little Pretty pets way back when.

Now she looks even more like a Japanese comic book character ala Naoko Takeuchi artwork! Lol Was cuter when I thought they were just braided pigtails though!

Actually Mattel has already taken Hasbro and MGA to court in the past, in fact Mattel has a history of taking other companies, people to court. MGA finally won the rights to make bratz again so they've been in court for a while already fighting mattel.

I've kind of wondered if one of the reasons the Bratz quality has fallen over the past couple of years is because of mattel taking them to court. MGA for YEARS has had great quality dolls, clothing, products for the Bratz line, it was only after mattel started to sue them that the quality started to fall off in the line.

And if we want to complain about quality in accessories and products we shouldn't forget Mattel is the company of the cardboard accessories and non-functional plastic handbags. At least that has been  my experience over the many years I was collecting Barbie. I pretty much stopped buying barbie after I found out they were taking MGA to court and after I read up on just how many lawsuits they've been involved in.

Personally I don't see a problem with Bratz having a 'monster' themed line. I'm one of the few people that don't really like the Monsters High dolls. Firstly because it's associated with mattel and secondly, the dolls just don't appeal to me so I'd be interested to see how the Bratz line does with the monster theme.

Yeah but Mattel did not take MGA to court because they had a vaguely similar toy. Mattel had accused MGA of hiring a designer who was accused of designing the Bratz on Mattel's company time.

And if we want to complain about quality in accessories and products we shouldn't forget Mattel is the company of the cardboard accessories and non-functional plastic handbags. At least that has been  my experience over the many years I was collecting Barbie.

Mattel has been really good with the details on Monster High, which is part of the reasons it has taken off as well as it did. If they were pulling the same crap as they had been with Barbie they would have failed already.

Personally I don't see a problem with Bratz having a 'monster' themed line. I'm one of the few people that don't really like the Monsters High dolls. Firstly because it's associated with mattel and secondly, the dolls just don't appeal to me so I'd be interested to see how the Bratz line does with the monster theme.

I like Monster High but that doesn't mean I am not curious to see how MGA will do with this. I am not some kind of blind follower of one company or another.

They have in the past taken other companies and private individuals to court for 'vaguely similar toys'. And I do know the reasons given for taking MGA to court, I was just pointing out that they had already done it.

I have a feeling my idea of "vaguely similar" is not the same as your's. These are what I'd consider "vaguely similar". The only thing they have in common with Monster High is that they are "dark fashion dolls" Mattel can't claim ownership of the idea of "dark fashion dolls" since it has been done before with things like Be-Goths and the earlier Midnight Dance Bratz. It wouldn't be worth the risk for Mattel after the mess they just got out of. The only time Mattel has a chance of something like this sticking is if it is a small mom and pop operation that can't afford to fight it even if they are in the right.

You didn't accuse me but I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't some kind of blind Monster High fan that thinks Mattel can do no wrong. I know they are far from perfect but then again the toy biz is not all fun and games at all. And yet it is all I want to do.

The art styles are almost identical as well. I was very confused at first and thought I was looking at actual MH stuff. Makes me wonder how different the actual dolls are.

 "Freaky Just got Fabulous" Nope, I don't see a similarity at all! lol

Well, if they are witches, that'll be more interesting to see. :biggrin:

Is there more info on this line or is it too early to know? I wonder if this will it be a continuation of the Bratz line or if they just use Brat as a play on word for the title.

Not a lot of information yet. There are a few pages on some trademark websites that imply that MGA is going to make a LOT of merchandise for these, and a higher quality picture of the logo (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6908967675_0f11a1815c_m.jpg), but that's about it.

And yeah, I think this is just going to be a spinoff of Bratz, probably one like Lil' Bratz, with completely different characters. (At least, I THINK Lil' Bratz had different characters... I didn't really collect them, so I don't remember.)

Post by: SummerSkye on March 12, 2012, 05:44:31 AM
Gosh, they seem really similar from the pix. It's obvious they want to get in on the fad. I guess its just gping to depend on how close they are and if mattel will pursue it.

lol So they just look like a spin-off of the Masquerade line. Not teeeeeerrible but I'm not getting them. The one with red hair and red lips looks nice though.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: LuvlyMelody on May 22, 2012, 12:57:45 PM
I agree, the one with the red hair and blue outfit is pretty cute. X3 I might get her, but I doubt it.

Wait is that a steak inside of her cape?! XD

Post by: Leigh_Lu on May 22, 2012, 01:09:01 PM
The pink/blacked haired one reminds me so of Draculaura. She even has the same bangs. What were they thinking....

Post by: Clementine on May 22, 2012, 04:18:27 PM
I really like that one on the far right with the red hair! I may just have to get that one if they get released however judging how similar they are to monster high I would not be surprised if mattel sued before they ever hit stores :P

The only one Mattel might be able to say anything about is the pink and black haired one. Tho maybe even not her since it appears she only has the black hair on one side.

the draculara-ish one also has two-tone eyes like frankie lol

Post by: Flaileigh on May 22, 2012, 06:16:02 PM
The outfits look kinda tacky, IMO... I'll wait and see them in-person or owner photos. (Also, how the body is jointed and if the feet pop off or not) I do see an accessory or two I might have to nab tho.  :|
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: OctoberFlash on May 22, 2012, 07:28:26 PM
I think I can pass on these, but then again I've never really liked Bratz dolls. xP

Still, it's interesting to see. c:
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: mistic_imp on May 22, 2012, 08:24:37 PM
there outfits are cute. the pink one is kind of like DL ( but DL is cuter!)
 i just hope there acessories fit MH that would be cool. But there bodies look alot more "bratz" proportions still. from the art  I thought they would be tall and thin like MH.  they just look kind of  blocky and not stream line like the MH dolls. ( that is what i love about the MH bodies)  looks like they will have poseable arms and legs which is good. I am glad to see more fashion dolls with this. I hated the mobility of my 80s barbies as a kid. 


 I like that they are witches though ;)
 maybe i can steal one of there witch hats for my cam witch LOL

From what I've heard, one of the original illustrators who worked on MH is the one who designed their artwork, so that's why they look so similar. :)

I really like the redhead, her face and hair color are stunning, but the others don't do much for me.

tho the one with the short white hair looks like Lady Gaga XD

If their knees are jointed then hopefully, most likely they won't be peg legged. I swear the more I look at the redhead the more I want her, maybe the purple haired one too. The other 2? Bleh. XP
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 24, 2012, 04:00:53 PM

Some pictures were also posted on a Bratz fansite that I forgot the name of. (I found these pictures on the Monster High Dolls forum.) According to the site, Bratzillaz will have glass eyes. Hmm...

And there will also be some fashion packs, as seen here. I'm going to be honest, even if I don't like Bratzillaz, I'd totally get these fashion packs. <3

Also, if you look closely at the shoes on the pink outfit, you can see something skin colored. Feet? Hehe, I knew it.

If they use pegs at least they are mostly boots. At least with boots you can't tell they are pegs and you can mix and match them without worrying about the skin matching.

And guys I know it might seem like the names are a little odd but the names are associated with the original bratz girls, Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmine. I don't have a problem with the names since I collect bratz and realize it's connecting it to the original girls that started the whole thing.

I'm hoping these are just the prototypes and that they shave down the wrists a bit for the actual release. They seem a little clunky to me, but that's coming from someone who's used to the thin limbs of the MH dolls.  :huh:
BUT, I will most definitely be getting these, they are very pretty with glass eyes. I have a thing for glass eyes. And ball jointed dolls.  :P

Found a promo poster for Bratzillaz -- you can see the characters names, which are absolutely awful.

To be honest I liked the redhead blue caped (Meygana Boomstix I'm assuming) in the first pic that surfaced but now.

A lot different from what I expected. Oh my Goodness I think I want all 5 of them now!!!

I love their little school emblems!! Kinda like an all girls magic academy of witchcraft. XD

Yeah, their names are horrid. I also like how they all kinda have a resemblance to other people. XP

1st one reminds me of 2 face
Princess Merida with a Steam Punk kick
Lady Gaga
the last two I can't remember, but they do strike a similarity somewhere.

Oh no, I love them all :lol: I don't have enough money to love them! I have three of the Masquerade Bratz, but was kind of meh about them because of the lack of articulation... but these, all articulated and with stands and inset eyes and they're witches and and and... omg ded. Need. :blink:

For some reason the red head reminds me of Ginny Weasley. As a matter of fact the whole line reminds me of what would happen if Bratz was crossed with Harry Potter. My aching wallet!

I told myself I was going to stick to just collecting MH dolls, but I have to say, I like these a whole lot more than I did when I first saw their prototypes and may be tempted to grab one if I see them in stores. They're actually pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to more photos of them.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: LuvlyMelody on June 20, 2012, 10:14:14 AM
Same here. X3

So if they're gonna have regular feet that's a big improvement. If they have regular feet now, why did some of the fashion packs look like they had molded feetshoes?? I'm guessing those were just prototype pictures or something. XP

So I've done a little digging and discovered that they don't come with their pets. They're going to be sold separately and will have light up or sound electronic features to them.

I also found Sashabella for sale on TRU.com if anyone's interested in her:

I hope they start showing up in Canada soon, I really want to see them in person! (And most likely lose all sense of restraint and buy them all  >_<)

Huh, that's what they did with the La Dee Da dolls, Dee's pet is sold separately.

It's interessting because in the past, other lines changed to try and keep up with the Bratz. Now Bratz are making changes to keep up with Monster High. It's one thing to do a similiar theme, it's another that they would make a big change like feet.

I am in the minority here because I'm not sure I like the new Bratz.  They look like copies of the MH dolls to me.  I like the Bratz because they are pretty rather than funky, if that makes any sense!

THE ENTIRE LINE OF BRATZILLAS, YO! I pre-apologize for Sashabella's photo. She was near the floor and I took her photo first. After I took it, I looked up and saw that they had ALL FIVE of them! Wow!

There were  5 Sashabelle's. Only one Cloetta and one Meygana. I think there were a couple of Jade and Yasmina. In all, there were about a dozen of them.

I have to be all honest and stuff ... Cloetta is fabulous.  >_<

I saw them in the store, and bought Sashabella Paws (the cat girl) on impulse. But I realize she's not really for me. She's pretty but doesnt really fit in. So if anyone wants to adopt her (nude) from me, she's available.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Yurusumaji on June 23, 2012, 09:16:23 PM
I admit they are lovely in person ... and that is coming from someone who does not like dolls. :D

I actually want Cloetta and I might splurge on her at some point, as strange as that seems to me. She's just gorgeous.

Glad you guys like the photos! I was really excited about finding all 5 of them.

That Meygana is by far the prettest one to me.

According to the person who posted pictures on Flickr, Monster High shoes are a bit small on a Bratzillaz, so I'd assume that they'd fit on a MH doll, just a bit loosely.

If you get a chance to see them in person, you may like the eyes. I love their eyes. They are glass and they are quite vibrant and beautiful. The colors really pop, which is what really made me want some of them. LOL.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on June 29, 2012, 04:21:55 PM
Okay. I just got Meygana today, and I'm going to be honest... I'm really disappointed. :(

To put it simply, and I'm not exaggerating... She had the absolute worst box hair I've ever seen. Her hair was so dry, matted and frizzy, it made Lagoona's box hair look downright tame. When I washed and brushed it, there was a lot of "dead" hair that came out in handfuls... It was awful. I ended up having to give her a haircut. I'm sure that the only reason her hair was like this was because it was curly -- I'm sure that the straight-haired dolls fared much better. Still, it was incredibly disappointing.

Some other things to note: The earrings are terrible, and they pop out a lot. The peg keeping them in is entirely too short. The calves and feet are made out of a really weird soft plastic, and the knee joints are made out of the same soft plastic, making them really weak. I'm pretty sure the hat and goggles weren't meant to be taken off, as they were sewn onto her head in addition to the elastic, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting them back on in a nice looking way.

Still, it's not all bad. She has beautiful eyes, and her hair is much better now that I cut it. I do like her... I just don't think I'll be getting any more Bratzillaz after this. :( :( :(

HOly wow I saw them today. They're big. @,@ I loved the way they looked and I wanted them so bad I was tempted to stuff them into my bag!

lol jk. All jokes aside though, I really liked the way they looked but after hearing about what Panda says about her experience with Meygana I'm too scared now to know what to do. Keep them MiB and keep them that pretty or take them out and go through that whole nightmare. >,<;

Boo, that sucks. I guess if I ever get one of these dolls, it'll be one of the girls with shorter, straighter hair. Of course, we as consumers should not need to make this sacrifice and they should all come out of the box presentable. :(

That is a shame, man. I was so hoping for Meygana, but won't be getting her now. And I thought Lagoona's box hairnwas bad. Still thinking about Jade though and the hat being sewn on doesn't bother me so much as I just use dolls for display purposes only.

Aww, bummer. I'm sorry that happened. I don't know if I'm going to get a Bratzilla (I've never been a Bratz person but these are less goofy-looking and the glass eyes are cool), but if I was it was going to be Meygana...now I'm seriously rethinking it.

Get out of my house!!! :P Just kidding. I must be a product of my Strawberry Shortcake youth; I love dolls that come with pets, especially if they're individualized to the character.

The pets are sold separately; they and the new fashions should be coming out soon. Apparently there's also a playset (a coffee shop), although I'm guessing that will be a holiday release.

Haha, I just think it's weird that every single doll has to come with a pet. Even ponies come with pets! XD I just have so many pets in a plastic bag, I don't even know what to do with them, LOL. They're definitely adorable, though.

I just realized the cardboard image of the doll doesn't reflect the right hair color of the doll. Meygana looks like she's got mousey brown hair in the cardboard, where her hair is fire engine red. Kinda strange.

I noticed that, too. I've heard that it's extremely common of Bratz, and that their doll never looks like their art, LOL. I have to admit, the Bratzillaz art is really weird... When I first saw the art for Jade, I thought she was going to look like Meowlody with short hair because of the way they colored her skin. XD

I saw these in-store for the first time today. I was really taken with Meygana. If she's still there on Monday, I'll pick her up.... though I'm not holding my breath on that one, seeing how popular they are....

I saw them for the first time today, too.  I had to look at them all, just to look.  I can't afford to start another collection.  Meygana's eyes are SO pretty!  Ice blue and a hint of sparkle!  Jade was my favorite, though.  Blood red eyes and lips on pure white hair?  Yes, yes, YES!  But I'm not buying.  Nope.  Not me..........

I saw these in my local TRU over a week ago and also fell in love with Meygana. I almost purchased her then but I decided to hold off because  I was still on the fence about starting on another doll line at the moment. I had nothing to do the other night and was back in the area so I made a stop by TRU to see if if they still had her, but of course she was nowhere to be found. They had several of each of the other girls but Meygana had been cherry-picked from the lot. Maybe it was a sign, lol.

Oh well, maybe I'll just wait until I can find them at Target or Walmart, they're bound to be less money than TRU in the long run. I almost grabbed Yasmina, since she's caught my eye as well, but since I really only want one of these if I get them at all, I think I'd rather just wait to get a good chance to compare the two in person.

$20, same price as Toys R Us [which is a bit weird, TRU is usually more expensive.. but they also haven't even gotten them in stock here, and are spectacularly unhelpful].

I managed to find them at a ToysRUs in Florida while I was on vacation/attending the fair.

I am so in love with these right now! Anyone else loving them as much as me? I picked up Meygana Broomstix. Her red hair is so intense and her skin so pale! She's GORGEOUS! I'll be getting them all for sure! I had Bratz dolls towards the end of my childhood and mostly played with the mini ones. I would have LOVED these when I was a kid. They look great with Monster High and I don't think they are a rip off. They actually fit right in. In comparison they are just a tad bit taller and their heads a little bit bigger. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Oh.. other than that their eyes aren't painted. :)

Here's a pic of my girl..

I...I LOVE these dolls!  I was a bit hesitant at first after hearing some people say their hair was a big wonky out of the package.  But the other night, I *had* to buy a Jade doll after noticing up close that her pupils were heart-shaped.  So now I have her and Meygana (who, admittedly, really needs a hair-style after some wonky packaging).  I didn't think I'd ever find a doll I could like more than the La-Dee-Da dolls, but man, these babies are coming close!  I need to style Meygana's hair and take some pics of her and Jade lol.

I got Jade and her face is just so lovely. But her hair... my god, I've never felt such plasticky hair on a doll before. And I can't say I like her super-bendy lower legs.

I've seen the fashion packs though and they look awesome. I can't wait for some of them to come out so I can redress her. :3*

One of my friends picked me up Meygayna, Jade and the girl with the pink and black hair.


I do admit, I lvoe them, they are really pretty, my Metgana's hair, or as I have re-named her Phoenix, really is not a huge mess like ohers posted. The joints are a bit weird, but they pose nicely, look cute, the glass eyes are gorgeous, Jades red eyes are so striking and haunting. They are quite beautiful. I do want to get the other two for sure.

Post by: crimsondeity on July 22, 2012, 03:57:45 PM
I've been putting off getting these girls, because they seem a bit pricey for all the QC issues I've heard about. Plus, I still have MH girls to get. But my TRU has been experiencing a drought and I had a coupon, so I snagged Meygana, Yasmina and Sashabelle. They were out of stock on Jade (sad face!) and I couldn't find a Chloetta that I liked.

So far I've only deboxed Meygana. While there are definite flaws, such as the rubbery bodies and the wretched hair (seriously, after brushing lovely MH hair, this was like running my fingers through a slurry of straw and gravel), I'm liking them so far. I can't say as I'm going to invest in them at the level I do with MH, but definitely a fun addition to my doll shelves. Hopefully the pets will start showing up soon; I'll probably end up with all of them, but Kissifuss is a need.

Yeah, she cut Meygana's hair so beautifully (also, sidebar, some of the blogger's reviews are hilarious; the Disney articulation/Cinderella one... lmao)! Sadly, I'm less skilled with a pair of scissors than she claims to be so I doubt I could ever make her look even half as good. If I found a Meygana that was free of defects (all the ones I saw had some sort of facial paint error...) I would get her and maybe get my mum to cut her hair for me when she comes over lol.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: karrie91 on July 22, 2012, 09:39:45 PM
Wow, I really like the hair cut on her. Make her face much, much nicer!

EDIT:

Okay, after seeing that, I decided to do some altering of her myself. I was REALLY nervous because I've never dreamed of cutting a dolls hair. I wanted to keep it long, not short, so I just ended up cutting out all the knots after a good conditioning and combing.. so... *holds breathe* here she is!

So... how did I do? Her hair is MUCH softer now. I can run my fingers through it freely and brush it and comb it pretty easily. There's still a bit of a frizz but I like the out of control crazy look because she IS a witch after all! Her top layer of hair is a bit short, I'm afraid, due to me being no expert.. but I guess it's not too bad??? Anyway.. my heart is still racing lol. But I really feel like I made her 'mine' now. Do any other girls from the set have this bad of hair??? I really REALLY don't want to have to do that again! lol

I have Jade and while her hair just feels awful, it's the shortest hair of all the dolls and probably the easiest to manage. It doesn't tangle but it feels almost like wire in spots. Honestly, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's one of the least appealing dolly hair I've ever felt.

I went to Target today and saw the fashion packs (the dressy looking pastel sets) and although they were cute, they were $12.99 each... A bit too rich for the blood of a poor gal such as myself. They also had the individual pets for $6.99 each which also was a bit out of my pay range. The pets were a pretty big size though, not teeny like the Monster High ones.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: karrie91 on July 28, 2012, 08:31:19 PM
The pets are only 6.99? That's not bad. I might buy one! I hope they have them here soon at my Walmart. I do agree that the fashion packs are pricey though. I was rather looking forward to getting a new outfit for Meygana but I'll have to put it off. >.<

Those are target prices? Because I get mine at Walmart. My target doesn't have a good toy selection. So maybe the fashion packs at Walmart will be more like 10.99 or 9.99?

Toys R Us is EXPENSIVE. I don't go there because it's a drive for one.. and I got a MH doll at Walmart for 19.99 that TRU sells for 24.99. It's ridiculous.

I hate going to Walmart because of the dirtiness and crowd feeling of the store.. but they have the BEST toy selection.

Ran out to Kmart just now.  Saw the fashion packs:)  I liked Meg's.  They only had 3.  Must have sold the other 2.  One that was missing was Jade's but there was a picture on the back of the cards showing everyone in their fashions, and Jade's is TOO CUTE.  No wonder it was missing:) 

I suppose I could just show you guys.  Duh!

Has anyone else bought dolls that were missing an earring? I bought Meygana, Jade, and Yasmina yesterday, Meygana and Yasmina were both missing an earring. I didn't think to look for something like that when I was picking them out  >_<

I looked everywhere around where I opened them and in the ripped up boxes and couldn't find them, so I don't think they were there in the first place. I did find that the posts on the earrings are annoyingly short, and they can fall out pretty easily, so it wouldn't be too farfetched that they fell out somewhere before packaging

Sort of. The Bratzillaz are much bigger than MH. You would have to do a lot of pinning at the back to make it work. If my hands are functioning after my cocktails, I'll try to take some pics :P

The only doll that seems to have only one earring is Yasmina. Both her ears are pierced, but all of the ones I've seen (my own, pics online and the others at my TRU) only have one. All of the others have two. When I was looking at them in store, Cloetta (the one with heterochromia and two-toned lips), seemed to be most prone to having one earring in and one stuck in her hair or clothes.

I'm disappointed with some of the quality reports I've heard, but I do like the character designs and articulation. If I ever saw them for $10 or $15 each, I'd probably grab Yasmina and Meygana. Maybe Jade and Cloetta, but I need to see them in person; not sure how I feel about Jade's heart pupils and Cloetta's multi-colored lips xD And I'm not a fan of Sashabelle in general, she's cute but the eyes creep me out a bit.

@Tyler: I was agreeing with that Tumblr post, and then I got to the 'Bratzillaz characters resemble MH characters' thing. You have to be really pulling at straws to claim a pale, purple-haired doll is a copy of Cleo. And I don't even know how they could think Cloetta is more a copy of Frankie then Lala o.O

Post by: karrie91 on July 31, 2012, 10:27:13 PM
While I think the Monster High dolls inspired the Bratzillaz line, I don't think they are some direct ripoff. Monster highs are all about Monsters of various kinds and being related to famous Monsters. The Bratzillaz are the witch cousins of the Bratz dolls. With the Novi Stars coming out too, I think that companies just caught on that some kids just aren't into normal things and 'weird' is popular. I like having a variety.

I also think the quality ratings are over exaggerated. The only real thing that isn't the greatest is the hair. Out of the box it is gelled and hard to brush. But once you wash it it's all right. Most kids take their dolls on all kinds of adventures so a trip in the bathtub and pool will wash the gel out. Also I find that their more durable than my Monsters and as they are less posable, I find that it's less annoying to dress them. The rubber hands and lower legs feel more durable to me. I'm always worried I'm going to break my dolls that have plastic everything. >.<

I guess if people would stop comparing them to MH dolls they'd find they like them more.

My favorite thing about them is their faces. They are very sweet and innocent looking. The eyes are really neat too. :)
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Taxel on July 31, 2012, 10:48:34 PM
That Tumblr post claiming Bratzillaz is a rip off of MH is absolutely hilarious and insane. The so-called character thefts don't even make sense.

Quote
“cloetta spelleta” obviously draws a lot of inspiration from frankie and her asymmetry, from having heterochromia to her two toned outfit, but taking it over the top by making every single detail asymmetrical. and the colors of her clothes and the body chain harness thing she has on remind me of spectra.
Two toned outfits, heterochromia, and asymmetry were invented by MH. Yeah totally. And MH can copyright chains apparently.

Quote
“meygana” reminds me of robecca; she flies, she has goggles, she has a flying pet with goggles. i mean look at her, their outfits are a lot alike even with the color scheme of dark blue and bronze-y brown.
These dolls have been in the works for a LONG time. Doll lines aren't just made overnight. They take planning, designing, testing, etc. Not to mention she's a freaking WITCH!!! Witches FLY on broomsticks!!! Also MH does not own the copyright to "can fly". Ever heard of superheroes? Robecca is such a thief! (I didn't even know she could fly, I thought the point was that she's a robot?)

Quote
“yasmina” has an eye of horus on her arm and wears a ton of gold and a thigh pocket (gee that reminds me of cleo) and that doesn’t make sense, seeing as how she’s supposed to have the power to see the future, why would she have a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health (and also a symbol of sacrifice, and restoration)? yeah they should have researched that.
Whether or not the Eye of Horus is used incorrectly (I don't know), ancient Egyptian things are not copyright to MH either. Over the years there have been MANY ancient Egyptian inspired dolls, stories, games, etc. My boyfriend's Egyptian city simulator game is not a ripoff of MH, and the gold colored Egyptian sarcophagus I made for a school project eight years ago is not a ripoff of MH.

Quote
“jade j’adore” reminds me of draculaura with her hearts and lace and fishnet stuff and whatnot.
MH has also copyrighted pink, hearts, and fishnets. They're gonna sue me for owning fishnets and a pink dress. Except that Jade is red, white, and black. She looks like a nurse, not like Draculaura.

Quote
and our token brown girl “sashabella paws” is some kind of an animal thing that wears animal prints and fur trimmed things, as usual.
"As usual", meaning you think more lines than MH made the "token brown girl" into an animal who likes animal print? Good job proving your "ITS A TOTAL MH RIPOFF OMG" wrong in your own post.

Quote
they all have the school crest on them, which is equivalent to monster high having the “skullete” somewhere on their clothes.
Its called a UNIFORM!!! Ever seen Harry Potter? Speaking of, the school logo is a ripoff of HP and NOT a ripoff of MH. Stop being conceited.

Bratzillaz may not be the most amazing dolls ever to everyone, but the same applies to Monster High. I am SO sick of all the MH elitism. Its fine to love MH, its fine to prefer MH, its fine to only like MH and no other dolls, and its fine to express your opinion. Its not fine to be a jerk to other collectors/lines because "they're not MH"/"they ripped off MH"/etc.

Thank you Taxel! I'm about as sick of that as you! Monster High doesn't own ANY of it's themes. I love Monster High but I'm so sick of everyone freaking out because there "obviously" can't be any lines similar to it out there.

I don't even like Bratzillaz that much (I'd happily pick up Meygana if she was on sale, but that's it), and I'm sick of it too. >.< I'm just tired of seeing every doll line compared to MH, and not just once but *constantly*.

MH is popular. Obviously other toy companies want a piece of that success, and they're experimenting with unusual lines. The cats Bratz, Bratzillaz, Novi Stars, and possibly more I don't know about/in the works.

I'm sadly one of the few that are really into these dolls. I only have Meygana right now and am looking to buy Yasmina next. I like the concept of them and have always loved witches so they really work for me. I like a variety in my toy collection. I don't want a lot of Monster High dolls and am a bit overwhelmed at ALL the different characters so I'm only buying favorites. With the Bratzillaz, there's only 5.. that makes it SO much easier on me AND my wallet.

My favorite thing about them is their faces. They are very sweet and innocent looking. The eyes are really neat too. :)
Ooh, me too! That's what draws me to them, the big glass eyes and colorful makeup. I love how expressive they are c:

And Taxel, you rock <3

That's part of why I want them! I love taking pictures of my dolls, but I try to focus on Liv because I love their eyes and they're what I'm really interested in collecting at the moment. But before I was always taking pics of MH, and although I prefer Liv, I miss how colorful MH are xD A Bratzillaz or two would be the best of both worlds.

OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

*dies*

I started off with Meygana, during my fabulous birthday shopping trip last week. I was on the fence ... but once I got her home ... SO MUCH LOVE.

This week I've acquired Sashabella and Clothilda and all I can say is ... PLEASE MAKE MORE CHARACTERS. OMG.
I'll definitely going to get them all. I'm NUTS over these dolls. Right now they are taking priority OVER the new ponies. OMG.

*oops LOL - I've been renaming mine ... I meant to say Yasmina (Clothilda).
Also my Meygana is Rowena. :D

*MORE edit ... do we know when the fashion packs are going to be released? Because I need them ALL! lol

Yay! Another fan of the witchies!!!

I think that the fashion packs are already out. It's just the waiting game for them to get shipped to a store near you. I'm going shopping tomorrow so I hope I can maybe pick up one and maybe a new Bratzilla. Either Sasha or Yasmina. I can't decide!

Also, just a heads up, barbie clothes fit these girls much better than MH dolls! I put a pretty sundress on my Meygana under her cape. Looks lovely :)

I really really really hope they come out with Warlock counterparts so I can have some cute magic couples! *crosses fingers and toes*

Looks like Bratzillas have taken over for the regular Bratz here lol!  I think they are a cute idea.  I was never a Bratz fan, but did get interested with their Masquerade line.  And I find the Bratzillas interesting as well.  Saw them all at Walmart recently and thought about buying one, but they are pretty pricey! 

I DID find this lovely girl at TRU today.  Never saw her before.  She was the only one of her kind there and the box was open, so possibly a return or something?  Anyway, she's not an official Bratzilla but I couldn't find the old Bratz thread and I wanted to share.  She's only the second Bratz doll I liked enough to buy.  I LOVE her look and colors, especially her black, red and pink hair!

I'm tryyying to resist these, but man is it hard! In a way it's lucky (?) for me that Jade doesn't have long hair - if she had long white locks I'd just be LOST. So far I've been able to resist her with that short bob. I love those eyes!

My friend found them at Target this weekend. My store doesn't have them (yet), but they're available. Sadly, they're a bit overpriced at $12.99, but that seems par for the course with MGA lately. I'll still probably end up with all of the fashions though. And I need a couple (all) of the pets :P

I don't have any MH dolls or one of these yet. I like both brands, but probably MH just a tad more. Their clothes seem to be better made, and have more thought put into them. That said, I think I like the faces better on the Bratzillaz (haaate that name btw). They have a sweeter look about them, and the skin coloring is so pretty. Not crazy about the hair though.

Not sure if it's been posted yet (apologies if it has,) but in the UK they come WITH their pets! No wonder the price was hiked up so much...Meygana arrived today and she has her light up horsey with her in the box. I wonder why they decided to do that? Maybe separate pets don't sell as well over here? Kind of unfair to US fans...

And I totally agree about the whole 'rip off' debate. By the logic of the idiots on that Tumblr, Living Dead Dolls could sue Mattel over the whole 'dead girl' theme. I love Monster High but they're not the most super-original sparkly thing evar.

I saw them again! The more i want them, the more I want them!!!!!

Also on the missing earing issue, I saw that Yasmina (yellow eyed, purple haired) had only 1 earring in her left ear, is she the only one that's supposed to come with one earing or was that someone else??

I think Yasmina comes with only one earring but the rest of the girls should have a matching set. I have Jade J'adore and I probably won't get any more of them (not the current ones anyway... if Meygana had decent hair I would have purchased her in a snap but alas, she has straw for hair) but if they release a new wave with just a few improvements I probably won't be able to resist.

As it is, I purchased Jade J'adore's adorable pink fashion pack even though I said I wouldn't! Just noticed it also comes with an outfit for her pet. Too bad I don't have her pet and won't ever purchase it, most likely lol.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: LuvlyMelody on August 04, 2012, 08:54:42 PM
iono why, but I feel that Yasmina is supposed to come with 2 earings. >,<; Even though the prototype shots are usually always different from the final product, but in the TRU pictures and the demonstration video, it shows her having two of the same earings. >,<;
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Rococo on August 04, 2012, 08:56:33 PM
The prototype Yasmina does have two earrings, but I haven't personally seen a doll that actually had two... All the Yasminas I've seen seem to only come with one earring (in her left ear).

They do seem a bit long. It may be because their torsos are super stumpy and short? The girls look a bit silly nude, IMO.

Post by: LuvlyMelody on August 04, 2012, 09:09:10 PM
That may be it. I'm still pretty interested in getting these 5 girls. XD

I'm also wondering if they'll be making new characters each wave or just release them with a new look or maybe even just keep it as it is and make it a small line like they do with the other Bratz lines in the series.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: karrie91 on August 04, 2012, 09:15:04 PM
I'm on the fence on that. I DO want more characters but that means more money I have to spend >.< I love witches but I don't know if I can afford more than 5 at 20 bucks a pop over the next few years. I only make minimum wage lol And all my spending money is divided between ALL my toys  >_<
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: LuvlyMelody on August 04, 2012, 09:36:45 PM
yeah, I am hoping it is just those 5, MAYBE add 2-3 more and that's it. XD

Meygana's hair is fine - you just have to give her a haircut. I cut off about an inch off the bottom, and I can comb through it and all now.

Ooookay - I'm back with new darlings!! EEEK!!!
Firstly, I want to thank you ladies - I was freaking out over Yasmina's "missing" earring - now I know it's supposed to be like that. She actually pulls it off nicely - I like the look.

Also, I finally got around to fixing Meygana's awful hair, lol ... steaming hot water, a bit of Pantene conditioner, and a good brushing took care of her wayward locks.

AND I HAZ PIC SPAM.

Meygana before:

Her outfit now belongs to Neon Runway Jade, whom I've dubbed Jade Broomstix, apprentice to the 'Zillaz:

i don't know if this has been asked yet, but do their shoes come off of their feet or are they like other bratz dolls and their shoes ARE their feet? i was looking at them the other day at walmart and it appears that their shoes come off of their feet but i couldn't get a good enough look. i'm sorry if this has already been addressed but 16 pages is a lot to read through when you're in a hurry.

Do you remember the porcelain Bratz doll from a few years ago? It was meant as a collectable piece and wore a black dress? These Bratzillas remind me of that doll. I like that they have regular feet instead of the feet/shoes like older Bratz dolls.

That's also basically what happened to my pony collecting. XD Once I discovered MH, it was just MLP & MH but once I got into Moxie Girlz, it was MH, MG, & MLP in that order, MH being top priority, then Livs, MLP is at a complete standstill. Mostly because of the distribution sucks, so now it's MH, MG/Liv Then MLP, with MLP being the last one's because its easily fast enough to get caught up with since they're cheap and once you find one, you'll most likely find the rest of that wave.

This is true for me too! I mean, if I could find Trixie and Lyra in stores right now, I'd be out of my mind scrambling to get them! But since it's taking forever for stuff to get released...

Plus maybe I'm a person who's making up for lost time, since I loathed dolls of all kinds until MH came out.
Bratzillaz are really special, though. I was actually contemplating purchasing my first Pullip - until I started collecting the 'Zillaz. These witches are everything I've been wanting in a doll and I'm NUTS about them!!

Is anyone else put off by Cloetta's two-toned eyes? I mean, I LOVE pink, black, and white - so you'd think she'd be the first one I purchased. But I just don't like her eyes. I can repaint her lips but I'm stuck with the eyes.

*edit*
Never mind. I just found THIS pic of Cloetta. I'm sold. Will be getting her this week. :D

I found Trixie and Lyra last week at Target when I was shopping for Meygana.  I grabbed them up, excited at first, but then realized that I just wasn't feeling it.  I PUT THEM BACK.  Yep, I think I'm officially over ponies.  Dollies have taken over!

I go back and forth on Cloetta.  I really like her in pics.  I've gone back to the store twice to get her, but each time I changed my mind.  The actual doll just creeps me out in person-  it's something about her eyes.  She seems to have that Chucky vibe, like I'd be afraid to go to sleep with her in the same room or something.  I'm hoping they come out with a later version of her that I like better.

I like the concept of the half'n'half they have going on with Cloetta; it's different and a bit edgy. However, I find that against her pale skin, it looks a bit off-putting and unbalanced. I think that Sashabella would have been a better choice, since her skin tone would have helped balance it and not made her look askew. She's one of two I haven't picked up yet. Jade was sold out at the time, and I couldn't find a Cloetta that I was willing to pay $20 for. But since both Target and TRU by me carry the line now, I'll be sure to find one I like eventually.

But just out of interest, of course, just to see, does anyone have any more pics of Cloetta and Jade? Not that I will ever get them, obvs, just cos I'm curious.

Okay - Cloetta's been "fixed" haha. I did NOT like much of her stock outfit - and of course those two-tone lips had to go!!
Don't let the flash fool you - her lips are now a uniform deep red/purple.

I believe they have! They come packaged with their pets as well in the UK, unlike in North America/elsewhere(?) where the pet is sold separately. I think someone said they retail there for £20?

You're right, Rococo. For me, I'm not a pet person, so it doesn't bother me; but some people are disappointed that the US releases haven't come with their pets.
Me, I'm just hoping for some new characters - maybe around Christmas!
Or heck - alternate versions of these 5 girls. Imagine Meygana with pink hair or Sashabella with aqua hair... hmmmmm may have to customize some....

I'm one of the disappointed ones re: the NA ones not coming with pets, tbh. I even got a fashion pack for Jade J'Adore that came with a fashion for her pet included... but I don't bloody have her pet and probably won't be buying it separately. :enraged:

Post by: papier on August 09, 2012, 06:17:23 AM
Do NOT worry about the pet not being included in the NA version - trust me! The one I got with Meygana was awful - see here about how crappily made and unplayable it is: http://dollsfromplanetmu.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/review-bratzillaz-meygana-broomstix.html

UK people have to pay an extra £8 for a Bratzilla - while some of that is presumably import duties, I gather the rest funds the pet, which is an absolute waste of money.

The doll itself is really not bad, as long as you get one without flaws. But yeah, definitely not worth £24, with or without the pet. Wait for sale. :)

I haven't really found any of these dolls in stores that had wonkily-set eyes. If anything, the lips on these dolls pose more of a production problem. I've seen many Meyganas with crooked lips and the little white center/mouth colored in too close to one side instead of dead center.

Eye skews ... I have several eye issues with my 5 dolls. Most noticeable in Meygana, who aside from that has the prettiest face, IMO.

Thanks for sharing that review! I'm glad to pass on the pets now ... too bad she didn't try to style her Meygana's hair before cutting it, though. After a hot wash and conditioning, my Meygana has gorgeous hair. (Though that shorter hair style looked fab too!)

I haven't been happy with my Cloetta's clothes... I wasn't keen on her stock outfit (am in fact using much of it for a Monster High custom's outfit) but I think I've struck gold with MH Cupid's dress! (although it doesn't close in the back...)

Well, I have to say I was totally excited that they are doing a Bratzillaz cartoon as well, but wow...after watching it just seemed SO shallow.  The whole focus is on what outfit they get to wear.  Then as an afterthought they get powers and, oh yeah, become witches.  Ugh.  :(

So that Bratzillaz episode totally reminds me of Sailor Moon! I don't think it was ALL about the outfits.. it was about establishing the characters. Besides, it's just one tiny wibisode. I think it will get better. :)

I like her with her hair down, it's a shame it looks like you couldn't take her hair down completely with that random hair rooting pattern though :(

I've still to see one of these IRL, I'm not paying loads of money for one though as all I have heard is about the appaling hair quality.

I'm quite interested in this ladies comment about popping custom eyes into a Liv doll if you wanted something better though - I do have a Liv doll knocking around somewhere. I feel a new thread coming on...

Post by: SparklerGirl on August 28, 2012, 04:07:10 PM
These girls really are shapeshifters.  Yasmina's gorgeousness did not reveal itself until I fully unboxed her.  Although I also think before that I just couldn't see past those horrid yellow pants lol.  Now that I have her out and posed, with her cloak covering up most of the outfit, she is sheer witchy fabulousness!

Also, there is something about them that makes me want to play with them, pose them, style them, unlike most of my other collections that just sit on the shelf.  I have way more MH dolls but most of them stay MIB, and even the ones I do unbox I don't do anything with- just set them up on their stands.  But I can't keep my hands off my Bratzillaz!  :D

After really looking at these dolls, and reading their reviews, I can say for sure I will not be getting into this series. The quality of these dolls are so cheap! The hair rooting looks horrifying, not to mention frizzy.

The MH outfits ARE much better made, and so are the pets.  But I still love the Bratzillaz.  :)

I love the witch theme and it's nice to have something new to look for in the toy aisle.  I lost interest in MLP with the advent of the G4s, and am feeling burned out on MH as well.  Personally, I never cared about all the little "extras" in the packages, like brushes and accessories.  I always just throw those away, so things like pets don't matter to me.  And for some reason the hair that is causing so many complaints doesn't bother me either.  I think because I'm not looking to "collect" these girls like I was with MH.  I'm just buying them for fun, to play with.  :)

I don't really care about pets either, SparklerGirl, but if the inclusion of the pets significantly raise the price of the toy, it better be worth paying the extra money. Luckily US residents don't have to worry about that. As for the hair, some people love styling doll hair, so if that's difficult you'll end up hearing a lot about it. Personally, I can't wait to get another Meygana (I had to sell mine), but I'm gonna wait until the sales. :D

My local Tesco have the new Bratzillas.  Disappointed? Totally  :cry: They had Sashabella, Meygana and Cloetta. They look sooooo cheaply put together; Sashabella was the best out of the lot and her elbow was hanging off :( I do still want them but there is no way on this planet I am paying £24.95 for them (that's $39.61). The pets are awful, they look like cheap poundstore toys.
I really wanted to fall in love with these. As with MH I love the concept, I just wish the execution was better.

Almost caved and got Meygana, but I really wanted Jade so I put her back down and bought ponies. I'm now regretting it. I haven't bonded with my GM DD yet and I like the blindbags, but I'm thinking I would have liked Meygana better as a whole. And she was only 22$ which is cheap for a doll like that here in Canada. I think I just wasn't in the doll mood that day :/
Also, do the fashion packs fit MH? I'm thinking Jade's would looks cute on a CAM.

The tops are a wee bit big and the skirts sit really low at the hips, but they do fit and look decent if you pin the shirts.  I've got a couple of them on my girls, including Jade's on my SS Draculaura.

I now love my Bratzilla doll. Her name is Dulcette. I even sleep with her & have never ever, in all my years, slept with a doll before now.

Here she is in a Liv outfit with her stock hat, earrings, and body pearl thing. The Liv shoes are a bit small, but if you don't look at the back to see Dulcette's heels poking thru they work great. I put her hair in pigtail braids.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I keep her with whenever I'm at home(which is 99% of the time) & she makes me happier than any of my Monster High dolls (even orig DL, bit don't tell her I said that. Dulcette has only met my ghost girl MH. I was hoping playing with them togevswould help me name my ghost girl, bt it didn't. The meeting was awkward tho: Ghost Girl tried to help her up, cuz BZs can't stand on their own, but she just passed thru Dulcette's hand & felt useless.

I think I really have to have the Jade doll now, but I still refuse to buy her retail, cuz I don't wanna vote for such a hypersexualized doll....even tho she's the one girl left on the BZ shelves everywhere I go.

The Jade doll *is* a nurse, it looks like. Taking care of me is a pretty demanding task, so I don't think Dulcette would feel like I was replacing her if I got a Jade or anything. I'm hoping, I guess, and waiting for them to put Jade in the second outfit they made her, so I won't have to buy it separate.

The more I see these dolls, the more I like them. I wasn't much of a fan of Bratz when they first came out, but these girls are growing on me. I don't own any of them yet, but I like Cloetta and Sashabella the best out of the girls. Love their eyes! :heart:

Is Sashabella like, the doll to get? The stores near me always seem to have the other four girls on the shelves, but never her. I've only seen her in stores once around the time they first came out and I really regret not buying her then (was indecisive about Bratzillaz at the time, and had figured she wouldn't be hard to find later on if I chose to get them).

Some stores don't carry Sashabella because she is "ethnic" and they think she won't sell well. MGA for some reason I can't understand always packs their "ethnic" doll separately. I think it might have something to do with using the same cases for the European market.

" when a lot of stores won't get her. I'm pretty sure she would sell well - I don't think she'd be the doll that would be a "shelf-warmer". xD

Post by: SparklerGirl on September 18, 2012, 06:13:03 PM
Hmmm, that might explain it then.  I saw a TON of Sashabella out the first time I saw Bratzillaz at Walmart.  I figured that meant she would be the easiest to find down the road, so left here there.  Haven't seen her since anywhere else, although I've been able to find all of the other girls.

Post Merge: September 18, 2012, 08:45:00 PM

Edit to add:
Just went out shopping at Target, Walmart and Toys R Us.  All were stocked but no Sashabella anywhere.  I ended up adopting Cloetta.  She looks so much better out of the package.  I bought her fashion pack as well but haven't decided whether I'm going to keep her in stock or change her out.  I hated her original outfit at first but she looks a lot better now that I took off her cape and plastic body jewelry thing.

They still get carried at some stores but they tend to be the ones in more "urban" areas. Oh and TRU seems to be pretty good about carrying the "ethnic" MGA dolls but that could be just because they are less widespread.

To comment on the hair.. I'll admit that my Meygana had HORRIBLE box hair. I wound up conditioning and cutting it twice before I was happy with it. I'm not sure about the other gals though.

I always check the Bratzillaz section when I go to stores as well, since they are usually right next to or near the Monster High sections (which I check out of habit, along with MLP). Always see at least Yasmina and/or Meygana, often seen Cloetta, sometimes see Jade, but no Sashabella other than that one time.  My friend, who is debating on getting Bratzillaz (she loved Jade) said that she remembers seeing a good amount of Sashabella at one of our nearby Walmarts when they first came out as well.

I have a question about the dolls - I know that their clothes fit on MH dolls, but do the MH outfits fit on them?

They still get carried at some stores but they tend to be the ones in more "urban" areas. Oh and TRU seems to be pretty good about carrying the "ethnic" MGA dolls but that could be just because they are less widespread.
I wanna say my area is "urban", or at least parts of it are. I know we have four Walmarts in my city, and at least two of them are in "urban" areas (i feel so weird using "urban" like that. O_o)
I had called my TRU today (and yesterday). Cloetta was the only one they had in stock, which in a way doesn't surprise me since I think Cloetta is the "scariest" one because of her eyes.

Cloetta totally freaked me out for the longest time.  She still does a little bit, but I finally found one yesterday with a couple minor flaws in the face, and for some reason that softened her up for me.  She looks a lot sweeter out of the packaging too- less of that glassy eyed creepy vacant look lol.  Also, her hair is a lot softer compared to Meygana and Yasmina, and it's easily brushable, for those who are interested.

I hope we get another wave of Sashabella released in stores soon.  *crossing fingers*

gah! I don't collect dolls, but every time I'm in the store I want to buy Yasmine and Meygana! and that black and red witch outfit
oi! what am I to do? lol
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on September 20, 2012, 11:27:39 PM
I sure hope we get more Sashabellas, too! Hopefully before the huge Christmas rush. I don't want another MH situation when it comes to finding a doll I want. ;_;

I decided to cave in and get Cloetta yesterday. LOVE HER! She does indeed look much better out of her package than inside of it. Her hair is a bit of a mess though, thanks to the packaging. But hopefully that's something I can fix with no real problem. Totally going to have fun taking more pictures of her this weekend when I really have the extra free time. <3

When I got my Cloetta, this Yasmina was also there. As of tonight, she is still on the shelf. :(

Lol, Meygana and Jade keep tempting me! But not until I find miss Sashabells first.  I won't be surprised if I end up buying all five of the girls. xD

Anyone mind taking the measurements of one of their girls? Even just the bust/waist/hips.
www.flickr.com/photos/clutterdoll/5926354977/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/clutterdoll/5926354977/) <- has the measurements for the original Bratz body and I'm curious about just how much larger the Zillaz are.

Went to a new Walmart today...THEY HAD JADE! Infact, their toy section was suuuuper stocked! No Sashabella, though. I was going to buy her to sell her here. But, I have been looking for Jade for weeks now. She is sooo gorgeous! Hardest toy to take out of a package, ever, though. What were they thinking?!? And I had to cut off so many loose threads off her outfit, errrgh, but it was worth it.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Roogna on October 19, 2012, 06:31:24 PM
I've seen all but sashabella in stores.
it'll be slightly cheaper for me to get them on amazon anyway....so tempted, especially now that i've seen the red and black fashion outfit!

also, I saw a picture of a MH doll wearing a Bratzillas outfit....can Bratzillas wear  MH outfits?
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: xkelpiex on October 20, 2012, 08:15:35 AM
I think they need to be pinned in the back like the Barbie outfits, just not as big, and the skirts are low riding.

Since the Bratzillas clothes on MH need to be pinned, I'd think that the MH on Bratzillas would be a bit snug.

SASHABELLA! My TRU had at least three of her. I am so excited! She is my first Bratzilla doll! She is super cute, but her hair was stitched into the box so much that now it is a bit of a mess! Also, she is a little too tall for her stand. That's a little weird. I don't know how my Monster High ghouls are going to accept her, though......

Oh my goodness, I just saw pics of the new glow in the dark Bratzillaz and I love them!  I also like Jade a whole lot better with the pink hair.  It softens her up and makes her seem less harsh.  So excited to see some new Bratzillaz dolls!  :)

Post Merge: December 05, 2012, 01:48:29 PM

I want to get glow in the dark Yasmina and Sashabella.  I think they look gorgeous!  And maybe the Magic Night Out Jade too.  She's the only one of the main girls that I still don't own. 

Not sure about the new vampire girl yet.  I think I'll need to wait and see her in person.  In the pics she looks kinda scary with her eyes and facial expression, but maybe that's fitting if she's a vampire lol.  Fianna looks interesting but I could only find a small pic of her so far.  Love the dark blue hair though!

Post by: xkelpiex on December 06, 2012, 12:08:11 PM
I would gladly pay the same as the signature dolls. They gitd, are the same size and look the same quality. But, I can see where you're coming from, seeing as MH beach lines are cheaper.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: rimmu on December 08, 2012, 03:29:21 PM
Another new budget line..If I see right, it seems that articulation is gone as well as the glass eyes :huh: It looks that eyes are now painted on?

I realize the painted eyes are just a cost cutting thing, and not something they plan to continue doing, but if they did, that would help me out TONS!  The only reason I entertain the idea of buying these gals is because of those glass eyes<3  So pretty!
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: LuvlyMelody on December 08, 2012, 04:31:37 PM
less articulations and no glass eyes?! Now they're a real mix of MH and Bratz.XD Creativity and scariness of MH with the stiff arm and legs of Bratz. :P

Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Gingerbread on December 09, 2012, 03:40:01 PM
Me neither. On the plus side if only the first three releases are articulated with glass eyes, I don't have to worry about choosing only one ore two dolls per release :)
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Roogna on December 09, 2012, 06:19:32 PM
SAD!
It's the first line of dolls I've actually started to collect - partially b/c of the glass eyes!
I wasn't going to get all 5 of the first release, but I may now if the future ones are going to painted on eyes instead. :(
another reason I liked them was the articulation
if both eyes and articulation are gone, I may not buy any more

Just took advantage of the sale prices on Amazon to pick up Meygana and Yasmina. Looking forward to getting these girls out of the box to see if I really like them. I'm not a Bratz fan at all, but the Bratzillaz have caught (and held) my eye.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: justkitter on December 10, 2012, 01:17:12 PM
I don't think the painted eyes will stick around.  That site called it a budget line.  Cost saving measure.

Although, if they sell well enough, maybe MGA would decide the glass eyes don't really effect sales, and cut them out eventually.  Just a (scary) thought.

Maybe Deluxe dolls will continue with the glass eyes, and the smaller boxed dolls will be painted?  Guess we'll have to wait and see:(
Title: Re: Bratzillaz

I hope the painted eyes are just for budget lines only.  I love my MH but my Bratizillaz display nicely with them as well as my Livs.  I also think the Bratzillaz' faces although much simpler than the MH girls are very soft and sweet in contrast.  If the whole line goes to non-articulation and painted eyes I will no longer be buying them.

I really don't understand MGA sometimes.  They are capable of doing beautiful and creative dolls like the Lalaloopsy line and yet they do silly things like taking away the very things that made some of their dolls appealing.  Why create the Bratzillaz the way they are if they're going to turn them into boring static dolls?  You don't see MH giving us non-articulated dolls with their budget lines.  The Dance Class and Rollermaze dolls were budget yet still very creative.  Perfect dolls for redressing really.  And in many cases the dolls are just as stunning if not more than their 'basic' and 'deluxe' counterparts.  Even the regular Bratz lines; while not a big fan, their decisions baffle me.  Upcoming lines are going to be 'taller'.  Why?  I like the shorter proportions of the Bratz, they're different from Barbie and MH and one of the few things I like about them.  Why can't MGA focus on things collectors actually want; like better hair instead of the crap nylon they insist on using on just about every line?

 :iconclap:  Well put!   :iconclap:

I'm a MH fan, and I like what I'm seeing from MGA.  I need to get some of these dolls.  Waiting until after Christmas, though.  You never know, Santa may have gotten me some :biggrin: 

I'd like to threaten that I wouldn't buy anymore if the painted eyes stuck around, but I know myself all too well!  It doesn't take too much to get me interested in something.

That site also said from the look of one of the dolls from the Magic Night Out line, the new dolls may have saran hair.  But I'll believe it when someone who has the doll in hand says it!

Dun wanna hijack this thread, but MGA need to make up their minds on wth they want to do with their doll lines. >,<;

Articulate? no articulate? Glass eyes? Painted eyes?? Have only available in some areas while the other place gets nothing??

I love their products but they need to be consistent with their aim and stuff like that.

I saw the bathing suit line today at Walmart. The outfits are cute and they have sunglasses. I did notice there are glass eyes on most of them and on the back was a blue hair mermaidish doll they are hopefully going to release soon.
I looked and looked for the blue haired one for my daughter, but I didn't see her

I might collect some of them, I like the style and flair they have. They also are affordable dolls that are "not platinum blonde standard doll *glances at Barbie*"

I'll admit, I didn't really care for these dolls when they first came out (although I was looking at the Bratz Masquerade line), but after looking at so much owner pics I didn't realize how photogenic these girls were!  I ended up breaking down and ordering Meygana and Yasmina with my left over Amazon gift card (good deal for them both together at $25 and some change).

Nothing. I thought they were picturing the Magic Night Out dolls on the bottom of the box, and rather than Vameplina, they had pictured Fianna, but I noticed when I posted it that they aren't showing the MNO on the bottom, they are showing the beach line, so it makes sense that Fianna is there.....

Soooo I bought my first Bratz(illa) item today.. the cat/dog style pet. :>

I'm was a huge CatDog (the cartoon) nut when I was younger, so when I saw it in store today I picked it up.
It's cute, but I must say at the price (€8.99) I'm really a bit bummed about the quality. :c
It had some yellow icky glue around the speaker and on the back of the cat's head that I had to sand off, and the dog's head is a very different kind of plastic, which I hope won't turn a severely different colour in just a matter of weeks. x_x (this has happened with two Polly Pocket Pet Lambs that I once owned and then threw out soon after b/c they had developed SEVERE head-body mismatch. x_x)

But this is all minor.. the biggest bummer BY FAR is that the legs.. are.. hollow.. and open on the inner side?? WHAT? :O ..it just looks real cheap and sad. I stupidly did not notice before ripping it open, so no returning it now. -_-
I suppose I will fill it with Apoxie but.. but.. huge disappointment here! ;_;
Being used the MH quality I was honestly disappointed.. oh well. I don't know about the actual dolls, but I guess I won't buy any more pets. :7

Sorry to be such a grump, but I just had to vent.. xD;
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: binaryeclipse on January 15, 2013, 09:24:07 AM
Ugh, that sucks Fraulein_Kim. I've been giving the pets a pretty wide berth myself. To be something that you have to buy separately I don't find them particularly appealing. They're more strange than anything. I love the idea of Meygana's pet, but the actual figure is fugly.  >_<
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Fräulein_Kim on January 16, 2013, 04:47:30 AM
Thanks binary..
Yeah, I myself try to stay away from the dolls, since I need another collection like I need another hole in the head xD + I have my hands full with MH. ;)
But I was totally looking forward to the pets when I saw the artwork. ;o;

But yes.. I can not recommend buying them now. Sadly. At least not for that price.. maybe if I find them secondhand some time I'd pick up more, but not for retail. They're just not very well made.
(and I agree, the sculpting is.. not very fabulous, to say the least. I'm in the 3D/Moldmaking-industry as well, so I think I can judge it.) :/

BratzHeaven is usually right about new doll rumors, right? They are saying now that Bratzillaz are gonna have "Switch a witch- packs" which are similar to Monster highs Create a monster- packs  :)

Here is the listing in Targets system:

And BratzHeavens comment n Facebook:

"Bratz Heaven: Obviously this is MGAE's answer to Mattel's Monster High Create-A-Monster thing...UPCs for this is 035051518068 and 035051518075, the dolls have interchangeable arms, legs, hands, wigs, faces, etc. There will also be Switch-A-Witch accessory packs, just like what they have for Create-A-Monster...since we're not into the "Design Your Own Bratz" thing, there probably aren't any plans for us to get this (at least, until we see what this Switch-A-Witch thing looks like)...

My Jade also has eye wonk where one of her heart pupils is positioned tilted to one side. Is there any way for me to fix these issues? Maybe take off their heads and manipulate the eyeballs somehow?

I am wondering if anyone else feels this way..... One of the things that never really set me off for this set is the dolls' legs. They have a weird shape when compared to other dolls, like MH. I have Jade J'Adore (the original) and I noticed it with her legs. They look kinda weird. What about you guys? 
If their legs were better, I'd probably be buying more of this line.

Their legs are weird and jelly-like (my dolls can never stand straight because calves-down, they are made of a more rubbery material than the thighs) and their hips are super stubby too... :shrug:

Agreed, the bottom half of the legs are odd.  Other than that I really like the Bratzillaz.  Only have two and am holding out for the vampire girl in the Magic Night Out line and maybe the GID mermaid.

Love the Switch-a-Witch set, that name is priceless!  Plus I love afro-haired dolls and the crazy clown wig is a must!  I wonder if the wigs or shoes would be workable on the MH CAMs?  That'd be awesome if they did.

It's a rip-off for sure but toy companies have always done that.  Heck, Mattel's mainstay, Barbie was nothing but a rip-off of the German Bild Lili doll.  It's pretty common knowledge that Ruth Handler had been wanting to make a 3D version of a paper doll (basically a more adult looking female doll to exploit that kind of fashion play) and bought a few Bild Lilis in Germany on vacation.  She brought them to the Mattel factory and basically said "Copy this". The rest is history. And of course the whole MGA/Mattel mess with Bratz.  No getting around the fact that My Scene were nothing but a Bratz rip-off.   What's funny is that the designer of Bratz said he was influenced by that famous Steve Madden campaign where the human models were photoshopped with big heads and giant feet to give them a cartoony look.  The photographer of that campaign said he'd been influenced by the Kenner Blythe doll, the OG big-headed gal.. ;)  And going back in Blythe's history, Allison Katzman, who designed Blythe for Kenner back in the day was influenced by Betty Boop. Katzman also wanted a doll that combined the fashion play of Barbie with the hairplay of the old Barbie styling heads.  Hence a doll that could be dressed with a head big enough for little girls to handle styling the hair. 

In the end the competition is a good thing and maybe Mattel will step up and do the CAM sets and CAM add on packs correctly by offering all the parts like the Switch-a-Witch sets will.

Someone's been doing their dolly homework, lol!

If I can remember one of the original plans for Bratz was to give them switchable wigs with pegs and such (the same style done by Liv), so pretty much, Livs and Moxie Teenz wouldn't have been the first line with changeable wigs. Unless there's another wig based doll line I dont know about. :P

I saw the "cheap" version of Sashabella...her "pants" are jsut her legs in black (painted or colored vinyl). the eyes are not bad, but the whole doll looks very cheap

I also saw the Night Out set (most of them) and Jade's pink on pink eyes are to die for - I need an extra of that one for customizing!

Yeah, that Jade<3  I can't get over her!  Everything about her is perfection.  I epecially love the dress.  I can't wait to get her, but my first priority has to be MH:(  I'm low on funds so it might be forever until I can get her, but I WILL get her:)

I have the Magic Night Out Jade and cannot recommend her enough.  She is beautiful and my fav 'Zilla for sure.

Her hair is saran, her skin tone is lovely, her makeup is pearly and subdued and her dress, cape and stockings are nicely done for playline clothes all with finished hems.  Love her.  I am not seeing in stores anymore either. 

Aww thanks Keelee_von_Cupcake!  I am a big blythe fan and used to collect the early Bratz so I learned as much as I could from that time!  Also if you're interested there's a great book called "Forever Barbie; Autobiography of a Real Doll" by M. G. Lord that talks about Ruth Handler and Barbie's beginnings along with the cultural impact that Barbie had.  Really fascinating read for any fashion doll collector or anyone interested in pop culture.

I saw Magic Night Out Jade in stores and agree--she's more beautiful than original Jade imo. It's such a shame that the only one that was in the store had wonky eyes because I really wanted her! I settled for original Cloetta and while she's also beautiful, I really wanted that Jade.

Head's up Bratzillaz fans, Vampelina!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/49746645@N00/8431069447/in/photostream
Found her tonight at Target.. :)  My Target had a whole new set of Magic Night Out 'Zillaz so Vampelina must be shipping with them in the new case.  Love her, she goes good with my Magic Night Out Jade and like Jade her hair is saran!  It was really nice right out of the box too, no need for either a wash or boil rinse.  Just be careful cutting her out of her box, her cape is really fragile and prone to fraying. Other than that she's a very cool dolly.

I didn't see Vampelina, sadly, but I did get Magic Night Out Meygana. I got her because her original doll had too many facial screening errors but I really like the original's hair with the part down the center. Is it possible to thatch Magic Night Out Meygana's hair to have that separation down the middle? Her hair is pretty thinly rooted at the top due to her ponytail.

So I bought another one of these. I didn't realize that it was Jade J'Adore until I got home. I have the wave 1 version, and this is the Magic Night Out version of her.

She has pink hair. I can NEVER resist dolls with pink hair.

Magic Night Out Jade is beautiful. her pink, nice quality hair and pretty pink eyes seal the deal for me. I wish I had gotten her yesterday instead of Magic Night Out Meygana but oh well. I also have original Meygana and her face and hairstyle (not hair quality which is hands down the worst I have ever seen on a doll--if I were 20 years younger I might have burst into tears) are so much better than the MNO one's.

I think some of them look kinda cool and remind me of harlequins, but... it seems every single SAW doll is of the harlequin variety with the multi-toned/patterned faces. It's a bit stale, honestly. I think they took this "thematic" thing a bit too far and if they release a new wave/set of SAW, I hope they have a bit more variety in how they look.

That said, someone needs to make a custom of Ten from Batman Beyond.

Loving the SAW girls.  I wish I liked the Bratz bodies:(  It's not only the jelly-like legs, but the shape of the arms, legs, and torso.  I'm basicly buying these dolls for their heads alone!

Does anyone know if any doll is being dropped to make way for Vampelina?  I'm still un-decided if I want to "catch 'em all" or not, so I need to know if I have to make a quick choice.  Don't want to regret missing out on anything.....

I don't get why some people are complaining about the price of the SaW sets when you can make 2 complete regular dolls that aren't even missing anything. I mean I know the CaMs are cheaper but I have always wondered how they can offer 2 dolls (at least once they started adding torsos) for less than what the individual dolls cost.

Post by: Christal_Princess on February 20, 2013, 07:48:24 PM
The switch a witch sets are definately odd to say the least.I've always been on the fence about these and now even moreso with the two-toned theme being in repeat for all current switch a witch sets(which is just very unimaginative,rather boring and pretty much kooky just for the sake of being kooky IMHO)

Still,I found myself purchasing the individual pack yellow and white one.I fell in love with her dark/gothic inspired make-up.Once I got home I did away with the ridiculous looking 70's/80's getup they called an outfit(which was as cheap quality as all getout,no hemms and poor choice of quality fabric),gave her a Monster High CAM wig(which fits,albeit not the entire head but just the right amount,I did have to chop of the peg though,totally worth it as it complements the head shape perfectly)bought her a Bratzillaz fashion pack on clearence at Target and she looks ten times better than her intented stock,atleast to me,anyway.

I was shocked to find out about the different body shapes too,honestly I would have loved something a little more risque from Mgae in that aspect,like providing different bust sizes in larger formats,instead of making them more flat-chested.I know for a fact Barbie has taken than step forward and released different bust sizes throughout her career as well(I know it's Mattel and not Mgae)still,a girl can dream.

OMG, thank you for posting those pictures; I've been looking for exactly that kind of photo review.  I've been hemming and hawing over whether to keep the SAW set I picked up yesterday, 'cause I wasn't sure I'd like them enough out of the box to justify spending the money.  I didn't even notice that the body types are different!  That is so freaking awesome!!  Kudos to MGA for that; I wish more doll lines would give us different body types.

It is odd to me that they're sticking so hard with the split color theme with the SAWs, especially since they're also using the same colors on some of the dolls.  There's only six SAW dolls, but there are already two yellow/white and two blue/white?  It's like they got lazy with them already or something.

Pretty easy to make that decision when someone's trail blazed the way! Also, I think there's a big difference between Skelita and Jinafire's torsos, and the "squint or miss" that the SAWs have.

I'm not a huge fan of the all two-toned thing they have going on. I almost bought the single pack yellow one, but the quality wasn't impressing me.

I don't get why some people are complaining about the price of the SaW sets when you can make 2 complete regular dolls that aren't even missing anything. I mean I know the CaMs are cheaper but I have always wondered how they can offer 2 dolls (at least once they started adding torsos) for less than what the individual dolls cost.

The detailing isn't nearly as intricate on the CaMs. And the wigs are cheap quality, and allow them to bypass the rooting and styling that the main dolls have. Also, the clothing tends to be cheaper quality, and they have zero accessories, jewelry, etc.

That really impressed me about the SAW packs - both dolls in the pack are just as complete as the dolls in the main line, with little hats and earrings and everything.  They could have gotten away with not including two of everything, but they did; and it's awesome.

Out of curiosity, how much are they charging for the SAW sets in the States?
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on February 21, 2013, 08:57:59 PM
They are anywhere from $25-29.99US. 

Actually I find their quality to be just as good as the CAM sets.  No, there aren't the details like fins, scaling and all that but the plastic is solid and very rubbery but a good rubbery.  I don't think a SAW Zilla would break if you dropped her.  The only thing I don't like is that the hands on all the Zillaz are like mittens..I wish their hand sculpts were more graceful.  And..because the parts come off their legs can pivot at the knee like MH and Fashionistas!

As for the clothes, the designs aren't as edgy as MH but the fabrics are nicer and the wigs, all 3 are saran and much nicer than the first few CAM sets.  It's only the two latest sets, the Mummy/Gorgon and the Ice/Blob Girls that have nice wigs.  The wigs that came with the first two CAM sets were IMO, crap.  Where SAW lacks is the design of the shoes, accessories etc.

Do they use the same rubbery lower legs they use on regular Bratzillaz? By far that is my biggest complaint about Bratzillaz dolls; none of mine can stand properly because of the softer rubber used in the lower legs that tends to give crookedly. >_<

There's definitely six different dolls pictured on the back of the SAW pack I bought.  There's the three that are out now and three more pictured under the words "Coming Soon!"  The three that aren't out yet all have a colored shape over one eye.  I was wrong about the two blue though, they have some of the blue parts on the pink doll and that threw off my eye.  Still don't get why they'd make another yellow and white one though.

Not sure if you were responding to me; but if you were, I wasn't comparing the CaMs and the SAWs when I was talking about detailing. Wardah had mentioned wondering how Mattel could afford to sell the two-torso CaM sets at the same price as one regular doll, and I was pointing out how they are able to cut costs on the CaMs. If you weren't responding to me, oops :p

I'm still on the fence about the SAWs. I do like my 'zillaz, and fully intend to get more. But I really hate the overly colorful, half and half faces and bodies. One or two is cute, but it's overload for me on all of them. I'd be much more interested if there were more "normal" tones. Or even a few "all over" crazy colors. As it stands, they look more like they go to Clown Academy than to a school of fashion and witchcraft :p I do like that even the add-ons come with all the parts, and that all the sets come with enough clothing/wig/shoe options for everyone to be properly outfitted.

I'll be interested to see if they make tweaks to improve themselves, as opposed to only offering what their competitor didn't at the start. I'd love to see the SAW idea expanded on; imagine stickers coming with them so that you could give your witch a personalized tattoo! And maybe little "build-a pet", where you can assemble and personalize a familiar for your new character.

I actually was responding to you you but it wasn't meant to be snarky or mean in any way, just giving my thoughts, impression and opinions on the SAW/CAM comparisons... :)  If it was taken in any bad way truly sorry for that!

It's ok to not like them..I understand their odd op-art Cirque Du Soleil meets Andy Warhol thing isn't for everyone.  They are clownish, or at least the gal with the 'fro is but I'm a weirdo that likes the odd colors and combinations.  No worries... *pat pat*  If we all liked the same thing life would be boring.  Love your idea for a build-a-pet and the tats. I rather liked the tats for the CAM Design lab but not the faces.  The body tats were very cool. And yes, I agree, I am looking forward to the next wave of SAWs but for future waves I'd like to see some more normal tones as well.  I do love the full capability for switching.  The SAW sets are neat in that all the pieces complement themselves in an odd way.  For instance, the black and white updo wig that comes with the single pack girl looks great on the black and white girl from the 2 pack and the purple and white wig looks cute on all three girls.  I also hope that MH learns from the SAW sets as well and releases future CAMs with two or one full doll.  The Mummy/Gorgon and Ice/Blob sets were awesome and I loved, loved, loved the additional plastic wigs but we could've done with an extra set of shoes.  MH makes the best shoes after all, the more pairs the merrier!  I would also love extra fashions sold separately that weren't character specific so they could be worn by more ghouls and some of the CAMs too.

I'm not sure who asked about the legs, yes the legs are rubbery but the two gals from the 2 pack don't feel as wobbly as some of the earlier 'Zillaz, particularly the GID ones which seems to be the worst.  My Jade and Vampelina from the MNO line feel a lot better in that regard and the SAW girls feel real sturdy..and because of the joints that come apart the SAW girls have a pivotal knee which is awesome.

Lastly, for fun!  My blob girl tried on the afro wig from the SAW 2 pack, win!

I finally saw them in person at Target and I checked the back and it seems there is another yellow/white one on the way but the yellow is on the other side and it almost seems like it might be a different shade of yellow.

There will be 3 more SAW girls coming out, another 2 pack and another single pack so that makes 6 altogether.  You can see the upcoming three on the back of the current SAW sets.

I've only found her at Target and I've only seen her twice.  Both times I bought her, one to keep NRFB.  I would suggest finding out when Target restocks as she only ships 1 per Magic Night Out case.

She's my fav Zilla... :)

Oh, I didn't take what you said as a bad thing, angelfish. I just wanted to clarify what I was saying :) Also, as much as I love MH, I wanted to be clear that I wasn't white-knighting Mattel and their "build your own" mis-steps. I like MH better than 'zillaz, but I love my witchy gals!

I love my MH ghouls..and like you I think MH is a much better franchise, more thought out, more detail etc, etc.  But..I've been loving Vampelina and the SAW witches!  I dunno, I think because they are more 'blank' to me I have more fun creating stories and characters for them.  With MH I feel as even my favs still retain alot of their characteristics from the webisodes, specials and journals.  Except for the CAMs of course.  Plus I totally admit because of Blythe and Pullip/Dal I'm spoiled because of the inset eyes!  I love that the eyes give them so much personality in photos! 

If MH ever do ghouls with inset eyes I would be lost for sure!  That would be so bad for my bank account.. :blink:

I have yet to find a Vampelina.  They don't seem to be coming with the cases here for some reason, because I have been at the store right after they unpacked a new case and no Vampelina.  Same goes for Fianna.  And I visit the toy aisles at least a couple of times a week. 

If anyone comes across a Vampelina, I would love to buy her.

They do/would look stunning, but with Mattel's QC track record lately, I don't expect them to care whether or not inset eyes are set properly in the factory. :lol: I get driven batty by slightly off-center inset eyes, more-so than with slightly uneven painted eyes.

I'm totally going to pick up another one and try to construct an all-white version, though. Her face and torso are base white, painted yellow - so some acetone should clear that up!

Ooh, be careful using acetone. I don't know if it's the same on Bratzillaz, but I put it on a Monster High doll once and the doll started melting.  :shocked:

I really love the SAW packs... They're very interesting! Does anybody know if they're compatible with Monster High torsos?

I took my Sashabella out today and played with her a bit.... yeah.... I'll be getting more soon....
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on February 24, 2013, 01:18:39 PM
I haven't tried the torso but I can tell you that arms, legs and hands are not compatible with the CAMs. The SAW calf/leg  peg is smaller then the peg on the CAM leg and the SAW pegs on the hands and forearms are much larger than CAM ones.

Just tried the torso..SAW thigh joints a wee bit too small to fit a CAM torso.  A CAM leg will fit onto a SAW torso but it's really floppy and falls off at the slightest provocation.  Maybe you could use elastic?

Oddly enough the SAW arms will fit and stay on the CAM torso but they look too big proportion wise.  Likewise the other way, CAM arms fit in the SAW torso but the arms look way too skinny for the body.

So..to sum up, CAM and SAWs can only swap arms at the shoulder.  The pegs on the forearm/shoulder joint are different sizes and cannot be swapped that way.  CAM legs can fit on a SAW torso but they are really, really loose and floppy. 

Neck pegs are also different sizes but the SAW head will work on a CAM.  SAW neck peg is smaller so if you want to use a CAM head you'll have to thicken it by using a clear elastic on the peg so the head doesn't flop around. 

Hope all that helps!

Okay.  Now I need Bratzilla fashion packs?  I don't want these girls to become a gotta-have-it-all collection for me!  I don't even want any GitD dolls, but I'm afraid I'll miss out on an entire character if I don't get Fianna now:(  I guess I should just give in, huh?

Okay, so it seemed like they short-changed Sashabella in the early releases of the original dolls. Now there are boxes and shelf labels for just her. Think the same thing could happen with Vampelina and Fianna? I am just DYING to get my hands on a Vampelina. *whiny voice*
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on February 25, 2013, 04:02:26 PM
I found both my Vampelinas at Target.  She was one of the rare dolls I loved so much that I wanted a second to keep NRFB.  I suggest that you find out when your Target restocks/resets and try to get there when they open since there's only one character per case...and it seems like not all cases carry her. 

Can't help you on Fianna, I haven't seen her myself yet although a flickr contact of mine said they found theirs just a day ago at Target. Hopefully she will be showing up soon and that everyone who wants her will be able to get her.  She seems to be the 'Zilla everyone wants most even more so than Vampelina.

To the person who asked about wigs...SAW sets come with wigs, the two-pack comes with two and the sigle pack comes with one.  SAW wigs will fit a CAM head but they are big like LIV wigs.  There are no pegs in the SAW wigs so you could probably use sticky-sided velcro to keep the wig on. That's what I use for my BJD and it works like a charm.

My Target restocks whenever, but the Magic Night Out girls are just shelf warmers right now.... they haven't moved since the reset.... at all.... same dolls there for weeks, and nothing in the back room.  :yikes:
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on February 25, 2013, 04:05:41 PM
The only other thing I could suggest is to try another Target but call ahead to see if she's in stock or when they restock so you won't be wasting time and gas.  Best of luck!  There's one Vampy on ebay right now but she's expensive, $50US with shipping!  Yikes!

Thanks for the luck, I feel like I'm going to need it. That one on eBay is the only one I can find online anywhere. And $50, whoo! Why did I pick a HTF doll to fall in love with?

Sasha/Sashabella is typically shipped in her own case. Why MGA does this is beyond me, because it does NOT go over well in the doll community; aside from smacking of racial segregation, the character is pretty popular. Anyway, since the character (or characters, since Sashabella is supposed to be a separate character) is in her own case, she gets her own product code and shelf slot.

As time goes on, I think the new characters will become easier to find, especially if the case assortment is changed up. I'm not really sure how companies decide which dolls will be double packed, but I suspect that part of the reason new characters are typically short-packed is to gauge how popular the character will be.

I think it is more that in certain parts of Europe, dark skinned dolls don't really sell well at all and MGA doesn't want to bother having a different case configuration for Europe. (Like Mattel does with the Princesses, the Europe ones never have Tiana or Jasmine) Of course they could just do a case with all of the others and Sasha and then a case of all the others minus Sasha but I'm guessing the configuration they have now gets the most store orders. (MGA seems very money motivated for some reason)

Oh, no confusion! I was just clarifying, since technically Sashabella is a different character :)  I really wish they'd given the 'zillaz their own names instead of trying to saddle them with weird versions of the main Bratz dolls lol.

I just think it's ironic, coming from a company and toy line that constantly pointed out how their dolls were more ethnically diverse. Aside from that, claiming that the AA/non-caucasian dolls don't sell is somewhat flawed; they aren't always marketed properly, and some stores may opt out of buying a single case of one doll. All the stores around me stock Sasha/Sahsabella, but I have heard that she's harder to find in different parts of the US. I could understand single-packing her if she didn't do well, but just putting her in her own case is ridiculous.

I think I may go and pick up some liquid fabric softener tomorrow and attempt to tame Meygana's mane. Right now, she's looking like Meridia, and not in a good way!

I remember I'd check if they restocked Moxie Girlz (another MGA line) at TRU All they had were the Moxie Girlz Sportz Bria (the "ethnic" girl) that was new on the shelves, while another TRU I went to had every other girl from the Sportz line BUT Bria on their pegs, so I guess they're doing the same thing with Moxie Girlz along with Bratz and B.Zillas. :huh:

Retailers here have not stocked Sashabella at all, it's always the case containing the other dolls. I'm not sure exactly why, I have heard things along the lines of retailers and/or local MGA branch saying African-American dolls just don't sell as well here as the reasoning, but I can't be sure on that (seems stupid seeing as Clawdeens in MH have no problem flying off the shelves).

I think it has a lot to do with white parents not being willing to buy their kids black doll (except Clawdeen but I guess they count her as a "werewolf doll" and not as a "black doll").

I can agree with this... Every store that I've seen that stocks Sashabella, she's a total shelfwarmer. And, in general, tan dolls don't sell well here, either.

Of course, when the other half-white SAW comes out, I"ll switch up the limbs, because on this gal they're backwards, since i used two of the same pack.

The acetone wasn't entirely friendly to the torso, but I managed to get all the yellow off without any melting.
On the head, it was no problem, but I did have to repaint the face on that side - then modify the other side a bit to match.

But overall, I'm in LOVE.

Helps a little to quell my desperation for Vampelina, who is NOWHERE. x_____________X

She looks really cool that way!  There was a Vampelina on ebay but she's gone now.  She was quite a bit of money!  I only lucked out with mine because I happened to get to Target when they restocked.  I think she's like Scaris Deuce, shortpacked and she's the one everyone grabs first.

There is a Vampelina on ebay right now, didn't know it was against rules to list an auction.  She's easy to find for anyone who is interested.

I'm considering starting to collect these gals. Much as I like em (especially the GitD ones which are my faves) I SORTA want to be talked out of it by the fact that it will cost me way too much money and be too hard to get a complete set, so....
Can I get a PC on ALL the original dolls/characters? and how hard are they to still find in stores?

I'm not a completist when it comes to having every VERSION of, I do like to have at least one of each character in tehir original outfit.

ALSO, are there any webisodes, specials or the like?


/Noob annoyingness
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on March 04, 2013, 06:20:50 PM
There are webisodes just like MH, you can find them at www.Bratzillaz.com or on youtube.

None of the original characters are too hard to find right now, the only two that are hard to find are the new characters in the MNO (Magic Night Out) line and the Midnight Beach line.  Vampelina and Fianna Fins. I haven't seen Fianna in stores yet and I've heard you can only order her online.  Vampelina can be found but you have to find out when your local Target or Walmart restocks to grab her.

If you like the first wave 'Zillaz go to TRU, they're all on sale for $9.99  Hope that helps.. :)

Well I gave into the sakle (thanks Angelfish) and got 4 of these gals today. I'll be on the lookout at atrget for the 2 newer ones, but I was surprised to not be able to get my hands on Sashabella Paws, is she HTF? or was my TRU just out of her. I have 2 more TRUs to check, hopefully the sale won't end soon...

I LOVE them btw, they are super cute and I'll definitely be collecting more. I'm having them jopin my MH world as gals from a rival witch school, the same way vamps and weres had rival schools
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: crimsondeity on March 06, 2013, 01:40:51 AM
Sashabella comes in her own case, whereas the other four come as an assortment. So if stores don't order her case, you won't see her. Most of the stores by me carry all the 'zillaz, but a couple of them have Sashabella in a different location. Not sure why, but I've seen the same issue with the La Dee Da dolls too. If you grab her item number (which will vary based on the retailer), you can check and see if your local stores are carrying her. I know Target will price match TRU, and I believe Walmart does as well; if your TRU isn't stocking her, you should still be able to get her for the same price at another retailer.

Thanks for the tip Crimsondiety!!
I found Sashabella at walmart this morinng, and sure enough she was already marked down to $10, I didn't even have to ASK for a price match...

Now if only the GitD beach dolls would go down to 10$ or less I'd be in hog heaven

Got my Vampelina today! I am so excited! She is so beautiful! Warning, though: Her hair is terrible. She sheds worse than any dog Ive ever seen, and it is dry. I've given her a bath, we'll see how it goes when she dries out.

Post by: angelfish on March 07, 2013, 08:07:12 PM
Huh.  That's so odd, my Vampelina had great hair out of the box, was so surprised.  It should be saran which is much nicer than nylon.  Mine didn't shed either although my Midnight Beach Sashabella and my first wave Cloetta sure did.  Badly.

Is there any kind of direct to dvd movie or TV special planned for these gals does anyone know?

I've only been collecting them a week and I'm head over heels wanting more!

Until I get my hands on Fianna and Vampelina, the only fix I can get are the pets and after I have those...nothing :blush: :huh:

Don't feel bad. Florida is SUPER behind! I only got Vampelina because a kind person on facebook helped me out. She was on Amazon, though. Here is the link for when she comes back in at normal price:

Also, littletikes is expecting her back in stock this week: http://www.littletikes.com/kids-toys/bratzillaz-magic-night-out-doll-vampelina

And Fianna should be back in stock next week: http://www.littletikes.com/kids-toys/bratzillaz-midnight-beach-doll-fianna-fins

Cool, thanks for the link!  I got lucky with Vampelina as well, I think I must've picked her up right after the shelves got stocked.  I've been checking for Fianna with no luck at all so I figure it's just easier to pick her up online.

Not sure if I've mentioned this or not but both Target and TRU have the first wave Bratzillaz on sale for $9.99.  They're clearancing them out to make way for new stock.  Target also has the budget line Bratzillaz and the new City Winx Club dolls for $9.99 as well.  I bought a budget Zilla to wipe and practice faceups on.

Kewl on target clearance...
I wish they would clearance the Midnight beach ones, I want all of them so bad, but can't justify their 15-17$ price tag for so little accessories...I'll eventually break down and get one though I'm sure

No problem :) Happy to help. I wasn't thinking about getting Fianna, but the more I look at her pictures, the more I feel like I have to have her!

I am not loving my Signature Jade, though. Kinda wish I had gotten the Magic Night Out one instead. Oh, and I ordered my two signature dolls days before the price drop.... :(

Anyways...
I traded Budget Yasmina's clothes and Signature Yasmina. I like them SO much more this way!!!! I'll post pictures later this week :)

I've been searching, and have yet to see either Fianna or Vampelina, even when I look right after they've stocked the shelves.  Is it possible they're not selling them in Canada or something?  We've had the beach dolls and the Night Out ones for over a month now, and have had the switch a witch packs in one store for a couple of weeks.

I stopped by one of my local Walmarts yesterday in hopes of finding Catrine from MH.  I was unsuccessful:(  BUT what I did find were the Magic dolls on sale for $19.99!  So I snatched up Jade so fast :lol:  Also, I was so excited about buying a doll at a sale price (I collect MH and I don't think I've EVER gotten one on sale :rolleyes:) I picked up Yasmin too:)  Now I want the others, but I don't think I can afford it right now.  The Beach dolls were on sale too, but I can't remember how much they were (I'm trying to convince myself I don't need them.)

Of course I didn't see either of the two new girls, which is fine by me!  I'm in enough debt :lol:

Just had to share about the price cuts:)  Maybe it can help someone!

Still no new girlsd in my area, but I did pick up the switch a witch deluxe pack that target recently marked down to 20$ and I LURVE it. So far I'm calling the black and white girl Monachroma Violet, I haven't come up with a name for the other girl, but she is definetly my favorite with those pastels and that wildly curly pink and blue hair, def one of the best sets in awhile, I'd go so far to say I liked this set better than my ghouls alive Clawdeen!!

They seem super proud of this Switch-A-Witch, don't they.... I'm with you, looking forward to more 'Zillaz, but the new characters haven't been seen in stores near me yet. So I am thinking there is still some time left between releases.....

Two new lines are starting to come out in Australia, both budget lines. The first is Midnight Beach, no Fianna Fins or Sashabella Paws I saw though. The other seems to have no real name on the box... it's just the Bratzillaz names where the line name would be. They have painted on eyes. No Sashabella in that one either (though she can be seen on the back of the box).

Here's some spam!  Enjoy!

I have seen Vampelina but not Fianna either. I still hope she shows up in stores cause while I like her I don't $18 like her. I keep hoping for Target to get her in when they have some kind of sale on them but on Amazon her full price going to be the lowest price. Also if she is only sold online only collectors will be buying her and collectors hold on to their dolls and definitely don't donate them to the thrift store if they tire of them.

Post by: Keelee_von_Cupcake on April 14, 2013, 06:22:46 AM
Finally picked up original Jade on sale, and my goodness, I'm so glad I did. I just love her. I do have a couple of problems with the way she's designed (in particular - why are her lower legs some weird, wobbly, different material prone to warping and sticking that isn't used in the rest of her? What could possibly be the point of this? And why does her stand clip so low on her body that she can't really be displayed with it if her legs are straight without leaning way back?), but they become acceptable issues when I look at that face. :heart:

My only other major issue is purely aesthetic - I wish she had long white hair! She's still cute with the bob, but I'm not a fan of short hair on my dollies. I powerfully wish that they'd release a future Jade with long white hair and the same red inset heart eyes and red lips, then I could just redress that one, and she'd be amazing!

But unfortunately, the only Jade with long white hair is the silly painted eye version. :\ The inset eyes are her best feature, I certainly can't give them up. I'd even be happy if the swim line Jade had had long hair, I actually love things that glow in the dark, but the same short hair and a boring bathing suit are not worth $17 to me. I like pink hair too, but I really hope they release at least one Jade like I described. I'm afraid they're moving to pink hair with her because Vampelina has predominantly white hair. I guess worst case scenario I could have her rerooted. XD

I really want to get pink Jade and Vampelina now, too, but I've made a rule for myself that I'm only allowed to buy them on sale! Here's hoping Magic Night Out actually goes on sale in the future. (If not, I'll probably break down and get at least Vampelina anyway.)

I can't wait for the Witchy Glam Princess whatever line..birdcages on the heads..?  And that pink-haired Zilla with the curls looks awesome.

Also...the second wave Switch-a-Witch sets are up for sale on Amazon I believe, which means they should be showing up in stores soon!

I havenever really liked Bratz. Today I saw elonni's Fianna and she is very pretty. I like her design, the colour scheme and her hair. I am not a big fan of the mermaid theme either, but for some reason this doll appeals to me very much.

I am considering picking one up at some point, but I am not quite sure yet.

I used to think Sashabella Paws was my fave of the 'zillaz, but recently Cloetta has been growing on me. I was also creeped out by the glass eyes, but they seem to be growing on me too.  Maybe I'll ponder getting one of these. They are much easier to find that MH and I do like their design, if not quite as much as MH.

Oh look, after the vampire witch they now have a Chinese dragon witch. Mhh, I wonder what dolls inspired those? (Sorry, I do love me some Bratzillaz vs Monster High) ;)

I actually think the new character has a cool color scheme and even though the promo pics are very blurry, the Witchy Glam line looks interesting as well! I'm also a fan of the new SaW with golden eyes.

I'm just glad I really hate how they're all same-face and chop-hands, because if their molds looked a bit more diverse I know I'd have to get a few of them and I really can't afford even more dolls :lol:
But... "never say never", maybe Bratzillaz will continue improving on quality and design and I'll end up with some by the end of the year XD

Zapper, I can tell you that the MNO line is much, much better than the First Waves and the new rereleases of the MB girls with saran hair are fabby!  I agree, their hands are so flat and blocky.  I don't expect the sculpts to be like MH sculpts but if MGA could just update the hand molds like the new taller Bratz hands I'd be ok.  Those man-hands are my only gripe with the new Zillaz.  Those new switch-a-witches are awesome!  I especially love the blue girl.  I want to put her on the Ice Girl's body!

Zapper, I can tell you that the MNO line is much, much better than the First Waves and the new rereleases of the MB girls with saran hair are fabby!

That's why I fear I will have to get one or two eventually. I heard that the first releases had really horrible hair and I wasn't crazy about their designs, so it was easy to stay away from them. Also, they were just as expensive as a MH doll here in Germany and I would rather buy a doll out of my favorite doll line than try out a doll I had only heard negative things about and that had way less accessories and details.

But then the SaWs appeared and really impressed me with their eyes and different heights. The checkerd girl also has a really stylish look to her. If I had her, I'd keep her in the nude and w/o her wig because her body looks so artsy and fun.

Do any of you know how easy their hands can come off? The hands are my major issue with them. They're in constant "hee-YAH!" or "let me present to you this car" position XD

They come off the switch-a-witches just fine but they don't on the others.  I wish they'd come out too, I'd switch Cloetta's for Draculaura hands.

I think if you stick with the SAWs you'll have fun with them..:)  I have the black & white gal, she's awesome!  I have redressed in the first wave Jade's dress and it looks great on her although you're right, she's amazing nude/bald as well.   I think My Dolls are My Models keeps his nude all the time as well.. :)

Thanks for sharing those links everyone! I LURVE the detail on Victoria Antique's makeup, these look so awesome. I guess the line must be doing pretty well for them if they're making this many new ones...that's great news for me, not so much for my wallet lol...

Oh look, after the vampire witch they now have a Chinese dragon witch. Mhh, I wonder what dolls inspired those? (Sorry, I do love me some Bratzillaz vs Monster High) ;)

I actually think the new character has a cool color scheme and even though the promo pics are very blurry, the Witchy Glam line looks interesting as well! I'm also a fan of the new SaW with golden eyes.

I'm just glad I really hate how they're all same-face and chop-hands, because if their molds looked a bit more diverse I know I'd have to get a few of them and I really can't afford even more dolls :lol:
But... "never say never", maybe Bratzillaz will continue improving on quality and design and I'll end up with some by the end of the year XD

All of this. 

I want to love Bratzillaz, because their glass eyes are so gorgeous and the line has such potential, but the flat hands and same-faces keep me from buying more than the one I already have (well, and the SAW set, but those are really neat). 

I may have to get that new Bratzillaz with the golden cat eyes though.  Because catgirls.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on May 15, 2013, 12:51:21 PM
I can deal with the same facemold.  Moxies, both the regular girls and the taller teens, Liv and Cutie-Pops use the same facemold as do La Dee Das.  I love that MH has so many molds but I expect that from them. Mattel as far as I know is a much larger company than MGA.  Say what one wants about Barbie but their are a lot of different facemolds in playline as well.  Mattel is a huge company with the money to put in their lines and to pay designers and sculptors.  I find that so many of my Zillaz have such a different feel to them, their facepaint and eye placements give each girl a different feel.  MNO Jade and Fianna are very sweet-faced while Vampelina and the single-pack SAW girl are fierce, fierce, fierce!  I know it's the same mold but they are just really different.  But...those hands!  If they'd just fix the hands they'd be perfect and in every way as good as MH, at least to me. The MNO girls with saran and nicely made dresses and the rereleased MB girls with saran is a nice start though.  At least MGA listened about the complaints of bad hair quality. Another thing that wouldn't hurt is maybe a few more shoe molds but again I don't expect the same level of detail as I would MH.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Zapper on May 15, 2013, 02:11:36 PM
Angel, I totally agree with you.
My issue is that the Bratzillaz are just as pricy as the MHs over here and for the same price I sort of expect a little more than just beautiful inset eyes (undoubtly their stand-out feature!).

Well, after all the new girl has different eyebrows. Slight changes like that can do wonders on a same-face.

About the shoes, that's actually another nitpick I have about them. I guess I wouldn't mind the same shoe mold getting used again and again for different dolls if they wouldn't be one solid color most of the time. Sure, there's always repainting, but like I said I always have to compare prices over here.
It's unfortunate enough that I have to import so many dolls already, which eats away on my pony and MH money. I'm grateful that we even got the Zillaz, but it also kind of seems we're not getting all lines. Never seen the glow-in-the-dark beach dolls anywhere here :/

Oh, and is it just me or does the girl in red and black (even Wydowna's colors, hehe) look like she has four arms and a ladybug pet?
MGA, you lil bastards! Gotta hand it to them, it's pretty clever to have a multi-limbed doll as part of an in-store line when the enemy has their product as an overpriced SDCC doll *cough*

An insect witch makes even less sense than a vampire witch to me, but I might consider getting her out of spite. I'm immature like that and I want a red and black multi-limbed dolly, so...
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on May 15, 2013, 06:20:27 PM
Zapper I agree about the shoes.  The Zilla shoes are just kinda...meh.  Having said that I do love Vampelina's "Posh Spice" strappy black platform pumps and First Wave Yasmina's high-heeled Birkenstock booties....and Meygana/Jade's witchy buckled booties. The MB witches all have boring pageant wedges.  Such a shame as the bathing suits are cute and pretty well-made.

And whaaaaa....?  MGA is making a spider-witch?  Gotta hand it to them, they learn from MH and they make sure not to repeat the same mistakes *cough one torso cough*  Now they'll have a multi-armed gal on the playline market first.  I will be getting her for sure and she can partners in crime with Wydona, Vampelina and Toralei.

Not sure if you keep up with the Novi Stars line, but one of the dolls already out here in the U.S. is four-armed.

Is seriously considering buying of the SAW packs.  Loves the inset eyes that these dolls have.

Yeah, I'm keeping track on the Novis. I'm currently waiting on my Orbit Beach Ari Roma and Una Verse ^^
But they're aliens. Multiple limbs on an alien are much more legit to me than multiple limbs on a witch.
And like I said, they even used Wydowna's color scheme on her and I'm not entirely sure due to the blurriness of the promo, but she also seems to have a spider web theme going on. Just instead of six arms she seems to have four, which would make her an insect and not a spider.

I also read somewhere that the other new character next to the Chinese dragon witch is supposed to be a skeleton witch from Mexico India LOL
It's really blatant how desperately they try to make Bratzillaz MGA's Monster High. MGA's Novi Stars work well on their own without copying the enemy's toys ;)

Somehow I ended up with these three.  I've always loved Yasmina's eyes and when I was contemplating her  (on sale), my niece spotted SAW and I caved.  It was sad about Yasmina's hair though.  I wish I had read this thread earlier.   I went back later and bought her MNO version.

We split the SAW and I got the left overs.  I love how she turned out.  But Yasmina MNO is my favorite.  Everything about her is just so pretty.

Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on May 24, 2013, 10:27:22 PM
heftysmurf, I found my two Vampelinas at my local Target.  I only saw the two and I've only heard of them being found at Target although some members here have found them at Walmart.  I ordered my first Fianna from Target.com but I've never seen her in the brick and mortar store.  I found one Fianna at Walmart and I think others have found her there as well.  I would find out when your Target or local Walmart restocks and go from there.  Never seen either of these girls at TRU.  My two local TRUs haven't even gotten the MNO or MB lines in at all.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Roogna on May 25, 2013, 02:14:47 PM
I haven't been able to check TRU for them, but my walmart and target still do not have Vampelina for fianna, but they have ALL of the other dolls including the SAW sets.
Title: Re: Bratzillaz

Yeah, my walmart has ALL the other MNOs as well as SAWs but still no Vampellina or Fianna.. guess its just the luck of the draw
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: justkitter on May 26, 2013, 04:26:40 PM
I think the problem with the new girls, is that they are one to a case :huh:  So we are looking for the one doll everyone else is looking for, and stores aren't going to order 15 cases so that 15 of us get the doll we want.  What would the stores do with the other 84 dolls? :lol:

My plan is to stalk my TRUs.  They still have a HUGE Bratz section, and all the dolls are marked down.  They've only got a few of the Signature Bratzillaz, never saw the two new lines there, ever!  Same with the Novi Stars.  Nothing but the first release dolls.  Anyway, I suppect the Bratz section to get reset and cut down to make room for everything they DON'T have, and maybe then, I'll find those one to a box dolls:)

I'm still on the look out for Fianna myself.  I was shocked when I found the Vamp (still haven't memorized these crazy names >_<)  She was right out in front, just staring at me!

I don't have the patience to dig through shelves of dolls, so if what I'm looking for isn't in the first three or four rows, I give up and move on.  Bottom shelf?  Forget it!  I'm lazy like that :lol:

I've probably missed countless dolls I've been looking for on a count of my laziness!  It's quite funny actually.

When I hear people "hiding" dolls at the back of the bunch, I think, well that's a terrible hiding place!  People will dig and find them!  But then I come along, KNOWING people sometimes stuff the good things in the back, and pick around the front, and go home empty handed.  I crack myself up, sometimes :P

Hey guys!  Those of you still looking for Fianna..I found two today at my local Targets...one at each Target, they just got in a new shipment of MB Zillaz.   So, she is shipping but only 1 to a case.

Lastly, little tip, if you want any of the new MB releases with saran and can't tell the difference in the box just look at the brush.  The brushes in the first release have the bristles facing the inside of the box whereas the saran rereleases have the bristles facing forward so you can see them.. :)

Happy hunting!  Also..has anyone seen the Wave 2 SAW packs yet?  I haven't so I'm on the fence as to ordering them or waiting for them to show up in stores.  Fianna's showing up so I tend to think these sets will too.

angelfish: I see you post alot about the changes in hair.  Will you help a girl out, and explain further for me? :P  Were they using nylon before?  Is it just MB that changed?  I have a billion more questions but I'm sure they will all be answered in your post ;)
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on June 02, 2013, 02:30:58 AM
Yep, first wave Zillaz and the first releases of MB have nylon.  It's a gross fiber, feels like fishing wire and frizzes easier.  Saran is heavier and is what most Monster High dolls have.  Rochelle generally has great saran hair.  The recent MB beach dolls have saran which is great.  All the MNO dolls have saran as well as the SAW sets.  Hope that helps!
Title: Re: Bratzillaz

The first wave really is gross to the touch.  But the ones after that are silky.

Yes!  Thank you!  This is all super news, too, because I have all the Basics, and a few MNO but no MB (yet -_-  I will, I'm sure!)

I was hoping you'd say that everything I have is the best I could get :blush:  Just gotta make sure I buy the correct MB dolls:)  Thanks for your help!

Glad they made the switch :biggrin:

My Adora (Signature Jade) and her twin sister, Rose (Magic Night Out Jade). :lovey: Rose is a seeress. Adora is very protective of her sister. She's a magic user as well, but I'm not sure what kind. Love spells seem an obvious choice, but I dunno. Those are really never a good idea.

Though I still very much prefer the styling of Signature Jade, MNO Jade does have much higher quality hair. It's very soft and agreeable. I wish her outfit was a little more elaborate, like her sister's, but she came with this awesome wand (I love silly glowing things), and the extremely hilarious "twist-n-dance" feature. Apparently Rose has a special talent for doing the robot. Adding her mask and fashion pack purse also helped. Somehow, even though I must have about a million Monster High earrings, I didn't feel like any of them really suited her.

Instead of shortening it, like you'd think would happen when you remove one item, my Bratzillaz wishlist has only gotten longer. :lookround: Now in addition to needing Vampelina, I must have that black and white SAW (including the parts from the yellow and white one that are obviously meant for her!). Alas, they're both going to have to go on sale, as they want entirely too much money for them on Amazon right now. And I still desperately want Adora to have long white hair. Someday!

Post by: SparklerGirl on June 05, 2013, 04:28:17 PM

I found Vampelina today and got her! she was the ONLY one on the shelf/in store! I am sooooooo excited and I LURVE her, her dress is so detailed and those eyes are mesmerizing! Her hair was a little messed up in the front, but nothing that can't be fixed. Now if I can just find Fianna I'll be a very happy camper, til then, Vampy is definitely tiding me over

Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: heftysmurf76 on June 16, 2013, 12:09:05 AM
Target does seem to be the place that everyone is finding her. I will definitely keep checking mine : ).

I shampooed and conditioned Vampirella's hair and it is in much better shape now, and definitely softer and less tangled than it was before....It's a shame MGA can't seem to get the hair for these dolls right in production, because she was otherwis perfect, and i hated to mess up her factory styling, but it had to be done...

I'm eager for Fianna , as mentioned, but I REALLY can't wait for the newer lines of 'Zillaz, they can't get here too soon! I'm hoping there isn't a deluge of them AND MH AND Novi Stars all at once, but knowing the luck of me and my poor wallet, that's probably what will happen....guess there are worse things in life than your favorite dolls all coming out at once though!
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: angelfish on June 16, 2013, 01:20:16 AM
congrats on Vampelina!  I got lucky and got a good one; just gave her a quick boil and it was fine.  As long as the hair is saran I'm cool because it's a much nicer fiber and easier to fix.  I've seen quite a few Fiannas now and all at Target, there's only 1 per case in MB so she'll show up eventually.. :)

I'm waiting on the second wave of SAW sets!  They are so funky and cute!

Hey all!  Head's up, went to Target tonight and the first wave SAW set was marked down on clearance for only 13.99!  I picked up a second set, more wigs and more dolls to experiment with since my first set stay one way. Such a good deal, if anyone wanted them now is the perfect time to finally get them!

Also some of the Novis were marked down to 9.99.  Malie Tasker was one of them along with another of the first wave.  Happy hunting!

Went to target today and ALL the Midnight beach dolls were $7.48 each, so I now have a complete set except for Fiana...I've about given up on seeing her in store...

If any of you lucky enough to find her in store would pick her up for me at cost, I'd be forever greatful, I don't even mind if she's deboxed for cheaper shipping.

I checked ebay and amazon and can't find her at a decent price...If there's any Zillaz you're looking for I'll be glad to keep an eye out and trade, and my Justice has the novi stars first 4 on clearance for 3$

Meygana's hair is by fair the worst, but her outfit/character is IMO by far the best! wait til you pick up the later/better versions of her, especially Midnight beach, her air is MUCH nicer and the design is AWESOME.

I like the girl in blue and I also like the pink girl's outfit, but I'm not 100% sold on their faces.

As for the fascinators: I like the two on the ends, but I'm not sure they go with these outfits. If I get these girls, they're probably going to be snipped off their headbands and used in dioramas. I could easily glue them back if I ever wanted to use them as headbands again.

Found these on tumblr! They're part of the Glam Gets Royal line. They're kind of cute! Not a fan of the bird cages though.

Trying not to set my hopes up too high on the outfits of those new dolls... MGA is notorious for showing off well made outfits with awesome accessories, only for the actual product to be vastly different.   I especially don't want to get my hopes up on the girl with cameo jewelry... they have done that before, and the doll that came out was sans cameos.

I'm kind of concerned for the future of this line.
According to [a fan page] on Facebook:
"Toys R Us (US stores) has canceled selling this line at their stores, Target is "carefully considering" (?????) selling Witchy Princesses at their stores, Wal-Mart we have no idea what they're planning and K-Mart is pretty much useless at this point"

Also, the in-box photos has surfaced [I don't know the authenticity of these photos], and the actual dolls don't look like their art/prototypes.

Yikes. I like but don't collect Bratzillaz (if I had enough money, I would, but sadly their quality vs retail price has made me put them at the bottom of my wishlist) but I was seriously thinking about these three crazy birdcage girls. Not now. Sigh, same old MGA "let's cheap out on the final doll!" thing...  >_< So close, and yet so far on the wrong side of my Hot Mess line...

Zombelina, if you get a Bratzilla get either the newer Midnight Beach releases or get one of the Magic Night Out line.  All have saran and the MB girls are all on sale for 10.49 at Target as they're getting ready for their big reset.  I would suggest for you, Magic Night Out Jade with her pink saran hair and her heart inset eyes!  She's beautiful, her dress is nicely made and her whole outfit, stockings and all has finished hems.  She is so, so pretty and would make a great friend for your Rochelle...;)

I am bummed but not surprised.  I might get the pink haired gal if it's saran off of ebay.  I can always redress her.  If that hair is nylon than that will be a deal-breaker.  My TRUs haven't had any of new Zilla lines, just the first wave.  No Midnight Beach, MNO, nothing.  Even my Walmarts didn't have the SAW sets or at least none that I ever saw.  Only Target.  I love the Zillas so this gives me the sads!
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: Zombelina on July 01, 2013, 01:46:34 PM
Thanks, angelfish! :hug: I will have to look more closely at the Magic Night Out girls, especially Jade, next time I'm out dolly-hunting  ^.^ The original nylon-haired girls were $24.99 here and I just Could Not Do It at that price, when that buys me a MH doll instead XD My Walmart/TRU doesn't seem to be putting any of them on sale here yet, but hopefully they will. And Target is set to open in my city this month, so I'm going to keep my eyes peeled...

Their faces and eyes are at least nice (and I do like their outfits even if they aren't as nice as the promos they are still quite pretty IMHO). There are always wigs to cope with bad doll hair on otherwise pretty dolls. When I got wave one Jade the first thing I did was replace her white hair with a pretty red Liv wig. It looks so striking with her red eyes.

I just thought TRU was taking their sweet time to do a proper reset in the Bratz/Bratzillaz section.......

I haven't really shopped any other stores lately, so I can't say what my other stores are or aren't selling, but TRU has really dropped the ball on the Bratzillaz.  AND Novi Stars for that matter.  All they've ever had are were the first 4 Novis.  Hmmm :wonder:

I'm super disappointed in the pink girl.  I didn't know she wearing socks (I thought those details were painted on the doll :() until I saw that mess of a doll in the box :lol:

Why show prototypes of a doll, if you aren't going to release a doll that looks anything like it?  So sad right now :cry:  I REALLY liked those prototypes!

The final results are so disappointing. I would have gotten them for sure if they were just like the promo. Oh well. More money towards other stuff.

Bolded for truth ;)
I'm sad for all Bratzillaz fans out there but insanely happy for myself. The Witchy Prinsesses (what an unfortunate name... oh dear) looked so great in their promo pics and I was already scared of adding yet another doll line to my growing want list

I'm also not surprised about the rumored decay of this franchise.
Some people have mentioned the Witchy Princesses might have nylon hair again and the cheapness of the clothes is obvious.

I've always made fun of the Bratzillaz here and there, but I was certainly hoping for a steady increase in quality after they started using saran hair and changed up their new characters not to resemble the MH cast too much (they actually changed their Indian girl from a Skelita knock-off to an original design, kudos!!).
And now this. What is this?
How come some of their characters have such neat designs (like the new Indian chick) but this line looks like utter *beep*?

Heck, they even put the prototypes on the boxes as if to say "haha, see this doll? This is what you could have gotten" ;)
So now we have three different looking characters: box art, prototype on box, doll. Lol really?

Maybe MGA should really slowly let Bratzillaz die and concentrate more on Novi Stars. The new Novis have amazing designs and the entire brand seems to get stronger and stronger, unlike Bratzillaz which will probably never be able to come out of MH's shadow now that EAH exists to boost Mattel's jointed doll sales even more.
Sooner or later they will just release jointed Novis and be done with Bratzillaz. Wanna bet?

The original nylon-haired girls were $24.99 here and I just Could Not Do It at that price, when that buys me a MH doll instead XD

To add insult to injury, last time I cheked the original nylon hair messes were priced at the exact same price as the Super Sweet 1600 dolls. I saw that in store in fall 2012 and was laughing manically on the inside.
I was wondering who the heck priced them like that. Just because of the inset eyes, really?
I can make my own eyes and put them into a MH head for this price :/

I'm sure had they've been cheaper, this line would have taken off better here.
But we didn't even get most of the other lines so far. The originals are still warming the shelves. Proof to me that Bratzillaz isn't doing that well over here and the problem is the high costs.

Post by: EienMau on July 11, 2013, 08:22:12 PM
I love this line, but I've never seen anything other than the original dolls, the crappy glow-in-the-dark dolls, the cheap-o line, and the Jade with pink hair.  =\  I've never found Fiana [sp?] or the vamp girl, and I'd love to buy them both!

I bought the SAW sets today at Target (yellow/white body single and the green/pink/black/white double) b/c they were on super clearance!

on putting them together I noticed that the green/pink legs are shorter and thicker than the black/white legs in the double set. I noticed b/c I put one from "each" on the different dolls. It can be hidden with careful positioning, but that's frustrating! We're supposed to be able to mix and match with SAW right? Then why are the pieces not all the same size!?

Yeah, it's frustrating. I'm really glad that I wanted "matching" dolls or I would've given these girls a pass. Apparently the dresses each fit better on one of the body types, too.

I think you're really lucky to have found the single SAW doll; I have never seen her in stores.

Regarding the Target sale: If anyone hasn't bought these dolls that wants them, now is the time to check out your local Target. The SAW two-pack was $9.98 and the first wave dolls were $6.98 at mine.

Post by: Roogna on July 18, 2013, 10:16:13 AM
my target had similar prices :)
and we've had the single SAW yellow/white doll for a long while.
I'll take pics soon. I did swap the single's b&w wig for the doubles white&purple wig, and a swapped the b&w cape for the black &purple cape :)


I'm trying to decide if I want the other GITD ones other than Fianna...b/c the clearance price is awesome

I'm new at trying to identify dolly hair. How can you tell whether the hair is saran or nylon just by looking at it?
Title: Re: Bratzillaz
Post by: justkitter on July 23, 2013, 05:43:52 PM
I can't tell by looking:(  I can't even tell when I'm TOUCHING it :lol:  I mean, I know there's a difference but I couldn't tell you what's what.  I'm learning, but I'm not quite there yet:)

I used this info angelfish posted awhile back:

..............
Lastly, little tip, if you want any of the new MB releases with saran and can't tell the difference in the box just look at the brush.  The brushes in the first release have the bristles facing the inside of the box whereas the saran rereleases have the bristles facing forward so you can see them.. :)
..............

The first release basics all have Nylon, and the Magic Night Out dolls all have Saran.  The Beach dolls are the only ones that you have to watch out for, if you have a preference (again, all this info came from angelfish :cool:)

Late to the party as always, I finally got my first 'Zilla.

I was concerned about the quality, and didn't want to spend too much on something I wasn't going to be 100% happy with. And I was so glad I waited! Finally found an original Cloetta reduced from £25 down to £11 (that's $38 down to $17) and caved - as much as I was worried about extortionate prices and poor quality I love these dolls!

She is gorgeous...but her clothes are all frayed, her hair moulted more than a labrador in the summer and her accessories were tacky and misshapen. I'm glad I have her, I am desperate for the rest, but I don't think I'd ever buy one full price. I really want the GOTD ones but I've never seen them over here :(

But here she is after a wash and brush up.

Heads up for UK peeps who haven't snagged any Midnight Beach girls yet - they are selling them in Home Bargains for £6.99 each. I saw them on Friday late afternoon, there were over a dozen on the shelf. I went back Saturday morning first thing, there were about eight left, so I snagged Sashabella and Jade. Decided to go back again this morning to grab Yasmina and maybe one other, and there was one lonely Cloetta left on he shelf :( I can't believe they sold so quickly from a shop where toys are notorious for staying on the shelves forever. I am desperate for Fianna so I plan to pop in every couple of days to keep an eye out for her.

I love these girls so much - glow in the dark = win :D But I have massive issues with their legs, specifically Sashabellas....she has real issues keeping her legs together. I can't work out why. It's like the pegs in he top of her legs are further apart than they should be or something.

I only love some of these dolls. I have Jade J'Adore because she reminded me of Lady Gaga and I recently got the GORGEOUSLY detailed Victoria Antique. When they first came out, I wanted them all, heh, but because of space issues, only the ones I am infatuated with get to come home. But Victoria seriously blew my socks off. Great doll for collectors and to put on display. Dunno if I would buy it for a kid....fabrics look to fray easily and the dolls seem fragile...

What are the fashion packs for these girls like?  I have the yellow/white SAW girl, and while I like her, her stock clothes are blah.  I'm thinking a new outfit will do wonders for her.  Also, has anybody undo the updo on her wig?  I sort of want to take it down, but I'm not sure if the wig is just one giant hairpiece or several pieces put together.
