Happy New Year! I've spent the last week or two reflecting on my year and trying to decide how to get 2023 off to a good start. One thing that kept popping into my mind is how surprised I was to see Bratz dolls on the shelves back in 2021 when I first re-started the blog. The Anniversary collection was on display at Target the first time I went there for a research mission, and I remember being really surprised to see those familiar faces! It was like going back in time.
I wasn't too excited about the dolls I saw on that particular shopping expedition, but many of the releases since then have been real head-turners. Bratz has done several artist collaborations in the past year, including small collections with designer brands like GCDS, JimmyPaul, Cult Gaia, and Mowalola. I find these dolls especially exciting because they're basically guaranteed to offer something new and fun.
I don't have much of a track record for reviewing Bratz dolls (I've only written two reviews and hosted one guest overview), but because history gave me a chance to remedy this shortcoming, I decided to jump into the Bratz world with both feet this year. I want to see what this iconic brand has to offer these days (and perhaps take a look at some older releases, too). I'll start things off with this colorful girl, Felicia, who is one of the Bratz and Mowalola collaboration dolls:
