Bratz began their fashion and music craze in 2001, quickly becoming the number one toy internationally, before taking American toy stores by storm. The four original members of the Bratz pack (Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin) are still on the market, available in a wide variety of looks. With an urban style and personality to spare, the success of the original Bratz dolls spawned newer friends like Bratz Brite, Movie Starz and Bratz Walking dolls, which features each of the Bratz with her favorite dog. There is more to Bratz than meets the eye, including Bratz accessories, Bratz Movies, Bratz Games, dress up Bratz, and more..

When Lion's Gate released the live-action Bratz movie, a series of Bratz dolls hit the market plus film-related accessories. Bratz girls can recreate their favorite scenes with the Bratz Movie Making Set featuring Sharidan, which comes with a real working digital camera. The only drawback is that you'll need your own photo software to put your new Bratz "Movie" on the computer, but you should have that anyway.

There are many innovative Bratz concepts which round out the collection. Looking for a popular gift for the Bratz girl who already has several incarnations of Cloe, Sash, Jade and Yasmin? Try the Bratz Hair Magic Styling Torso, which features makeup and hair color girls can use on their favorite Bratz face. A throwback to the days of the Barbie styling head, this torso has Brattitude Barbie never had.

The Bratz Styling Torso offers girls endless combinations of hair and makeup. Girls can test out their own unique hairdo creations on their Bratz Hair Magic Styling Torso to see how it looks before trying it themselves. If you're buying this as a gift, consider pairing it up with the latest Bratz DVD; the movie gives a Bratz girl plenty of ideas on what new styles to try out on their favorite Bratz character.

Not so Little: Bratz Kidz

Cloe, Jade, Yasmin, Sasha and the rest of the Bratz doll collection are available in the Bratz Kidz line, featuring all the Bratz characters as their much younger selves. Bratz Kidz feature clothes in different styles than the original Bratz dolls line, and some parents feel Bratz Kidz fashions are closer to what kids themselves might wear. Bratz Kidz make a great choice for girls who aren't impressed by the flashy costumes Sasha, Jade, Cloe, Yasmin, and the rest of the Bratz dolls wear for the Bratz Music Stars or Bratz Passion for Fashion lines.

Bratz Kids have their own accessories and play sets. A great example is the Bratz Kids Super Secret Arts and Crafts School Bus. It comes packed with art supplies including stationary, colored pencils and crayons to encourage a girl's artistic side. Bratz Kidz character Lilani is included and the bus holds up to four Bratz Kidz dolls. Some Bratz Kidz products are made for girls six and up, but this is rated for ages four and up, a great way to let a younger girl have some Bratz fun with an older sister. Another Bratz offering good for younger girls is the Bratz Kidz Winter Vacation fun kit with Phoebe. Like other Bratz Kidz, Phoebe comes with two complete outfits as well as winter accessories like a sled and cup of hot chocolate.

Many parents love Bratz Kidz for their more down-to-earth fashions and accessibility for younger girls. This line also features a collection of DVDs and other extras just like the original Bratz dolls, so a Bratz girl won't feel she's missing out on anything by concentrating on this part of the Bratz line.

Bratz DVDs

The live-action Bratz film is only one of a long collection of DVD titles available for Bratz fans. Bratz Fashion Pixiez and Bratz Rock Angelz are just two examples of the feature-length DVDs running 70 minutes or longer. These animated adventures feature the original Bratz dolls along with newer characters. Fashion Pixiez is a more fairy-tale type story with magical items, good and sinister pixiez, and a plot to take over the world!

Bratz Rock Angelz is deals with a different kind of magical adventure-this one in the world of rock and fashion as the Bratz dolls transform themselves into performers and start the Rock Angelz band. The movie features so many musical numbers that a Rock Angelz CD was put out to accompany the on-screen fun. Two Bratz Boyz characters appear in this Bratz doll-fest. Dylan and Eitan may be rarer Bratz dolls compared to their more prolific girl counterparts, but they definitely contribute to the fun in Rock Angelz.

There are even Bratz Kidz titles for those who prefer the younger versions of Bratz dolls. You can get the collection started with the Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure and Bratz Kidz Fairy Tales. Bratz girls have many options to watch their favorite Bratz dolls in action.
