{{quote|''The ONLY girls with a passion for fashion.''}}
A line of [[Animesque|anime-styled]] fashion dolls created by ex-[[Barbie|Mattel]] employee Carter Bryant and produced by MGA Entertainment. Released in 2001, the line did the unthinkable and dethroned [[Barbie]] from her spot as the #1 doll line among girls. The ''Bratz'' line features an ethnic rainbow of different characters to choose from and their chosen jobs tend to focus on more "glamorous" occupations such as singing, acting, and, of course, modeling and fashion design.

In December 2008, Mattel won a copyright lawsuit against MGA that ruled that, since Bryant was still working at Mattel when he created the original dolls, they were Mattel's intellectual property. As a result, [http://www.thestar.com/business/article/548268 MGA was banned from selling all 40 dolls in the line]. MGA successfully [http://www.mgae.com/downloads/pressreleases/MGA%20Statement%20-%20Bratz%20Ruling%207-22-10.pdf appealed the ruling in July 2010 and regained ownership]. The case will be retried at the beginning of next year[http://www.thenewstribune.com/2010/08/05/1291160/retrial-in-battle-over-bratz-dolls.html\], but for now, the company is allowed to continue selling and producing ''Bratz''. In August, they released updated dolls with wider figures, less make-up, and more modest clothing to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary ([[Batman Gambit|and so that they can claim they are not the same designs that Mattel claimed ownership of]], but that is neither here nor there.)

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The only boy in the new official canon (And on the website) at this point is Eitan, and while Cameron, Dylan and various others have been released as dolls under the Bratz Boyz moniker, Eitan is part of the main ensemble-image on the website with the girls.
