Since August 2022, the Bratz Pretty ‘N’ Punk reproductions have been confirmed—but, it’s taken nearly a year for them to “officially” release. Originally slated to be split into two waves for January and March releases, the dolls were pushed to the Fall season as many toy companies delayed their Spring releases because sales were struggling. Despite this, the first wave—Yasmin, Cloe, and Jade—found their way to Myer stores in Australia earlier this year causing confusion amongst fans about when these dolls would be available elsewhere. On top of all this, there was an uncertainty about the inclusion of Sasha as she was not featured in the original 2005 collection. BRATZ FORECAST FOR 2023! Theorizing ‘N’ Accessorizing About Upcoming Bratz Dolls, Leaks, and Future! Stay tuned for a special video on my YouTube channel where I wash and restyle the Pretty ‘N’ Punk and Series 3 dolls’ hair! the bodies
Are you wondering what head mold and face application is used on the Series 3 dolls? The Series 3 dolls use the original 2001 head mold (with the exception of Koby who uses the 2003 Boyz head) and spray method for their face application. Whether you love it or hate it, the Bratz budget dolls provide an affordable option for international collectors while also appealing to kids who simply love to play with dolls. A lot of the online doll community consists of adult collectors who often don’t understand that not all dolls are produced with them in mind—this is an instance where Bratz can reach a younger demographic and give international collectors access to affordable Bratz dolls. I love that MGA is taking more steps to reach its global fanbase and I hope these efforts continue! And don’t forget that this line is delivering a high quality product at an affordable price point compared to the brand’s competitors—that’s always a win! The characters for this collection will be Dana, Fianna, Felicia, Tiana, and Koby. This collection will consist of reproductions of Funk ‘N’ Glow (Second Edition) Dana, Funk Out! Fianna, Campfire Felicia, Welcome To Fabulous Tiana, and Nu-Cool Koby.This is a follow-up to Mini Bratz x Kylie Jenner Series 1. The second series will feature 6 more mini Kylie dolls, another velvet rope, a telephone booth, a motorcycle, a purple-themed Retro-Swing Chair, a television, and vanity playset. Meygan has an older sister named Tanya who appears in Bratz Kidz: Sleep-Over Adventure and is mentioned in a story on Bratz heaven. She has one cousin, Meygana Broomstix featured in the Bratzillaz doll line and animated series. As someone who owns the original version of this playset, I have to admit that I love the reproduction much more! The original uses a darker faux fur fabric, while the reproduced version uses a baby pink faux fur fabric that feels more plush than its original counterpart. Some fans have noticed that the reproduction doesn’t come with all of the accessories that the original had—the pen, diary, and water bottle. I personally don’t mind that these accessories were omitted, especially if Slumber Party reproductions eventually come out because those will likely come with the pen and diary accessories. The chair is extra cute and can make a perfect addition to any doll or miniature collection—not just Bratz! I see the chair being sized well for other brands around Bratz size like L.O.L. Surprise! and all of its spinoffs or even some taller brands like Rainbow High, Monster High, and others. where to buy
Shoutout to my friends Emil and Frank for taking pictures of the 2005 PNP dolls for this article—thank you so much! Just like the face printing method section, feel free to skip this portion if you’ve already read my explanations on the differences between Bratz hair types! Nylon hair appears to be the current standard for the Bratz brand, as is the case for most MGA doll brands since 2019. For context on some of the different hair types used on Bratz, nylon has often been confused with polypropylene, which is a hair fiber that was used in a majority of lines between 2008-2013 and is known for being hard to manage and prone to degrading over time, because of a name mix-up over a decade ago. Saran—which has been used on most Bratz released between 2001-2007, 2015-2018, and on most of the Bratz 20 Yearz Special Edition dolls (except for some later variants which use nylon) released in 2021—is a great hair fiber that has always satisfied collectors, though it is prone to yellowing and degrading over time. Nylon is another premium hair type that can be easily restyled with heated hair tools and is less likely to degrade over time like saran and polypropylene can do. Saran hair is harder to come by in certain colors and is not as commonly used in modern doll production due to rising prices, so nylon provides a way for consumers to have these hair colors without resorting to using low-grade polypropylene. Nylon also tends to feel really nice and oftentimes better than saran, so I hope this is something that stays for most—if not all—future Bratz doll releases. Thank you again to MGA Entertainment for gifting me this set of Bratz dolls, and thank YOU—the reader—for reading this article about the dolls!Moving on to faces and face application method, there are more similarities and differences to explore between the 2023 and OG counterparts. Koby’s face is practically the same as his original doll. Dana, who uses the First Edition Cloe screening, is pretty much the same as her original doll though some batches (not that many have been seen so far) seem to have a wonky placement. My Dana, as well as several others, have looked pretty good so far! Fianna uses the Stylin’ Salon ‘N’ Spa (Second Edition) Fianna screening just like her original, but the placement is much better! Funk Out! Fianna is known, and often ridiculed, for her “fivehead”. Series 3 Fianna’s placement reduces her forehead size and looks gorgeous; the screening placement looks refined and similar to the Hot Summer Dayz Cool Pool Fianna doll. Felicia looks almost exactly like her Campfire counterpart—I’m stunned by how gorgeous she is! Felicia uses the Slumber Party Cloe screening; Slumber Party is rumored to be the next major reproduction line after Pretty ‘N’ Punk, which means a potential reproduction Slumber Party Cloe's face is almost guaranteed to look gorgeous. Tiana is given the biggest screening update in the line, using a completely different screening than her original doll. Welcome To Fabulous Tiana has her own unique screening that was never used again after her release. Series 3 Tiana looks a lot more like her original prototype in which she has slimmer eyes. I am unsure if Series 3 Tiana replicates an exact screening, but her eyes remind me a lot of Secret Date Jade’s screening; the main difference between these two is that Tiana uses the open mouth mold while Jade uses the closed mouth mold. Tiana’s new face is stunning and a much needed update to this doll! There was no mentioned of Megan having any pets but she appears to have a punk dog name Gavin when the girls went to London and a Monkey when she was a baby. Love her or hate her, Kylie Jenner has been on a roll this year between launching a new clothing brand, a recent guest star stint on The Simpsons, and—most of all—collaborating with MGA Entertainment on a line of Bratz dolls and collectibles. While this collaboration has been the topic of controversy, it has proven to be a celebrated release for Bratz and Kylie Jenner fans alike… but maybe not for the reasons you would think! The faceups were created by Bratz collector and artist Roman (a.k.a. Lolliword), who did a terrific job! Lolliword also worked on the Cult Gaia faceups last year—it’s amazing to see fans get amazing opportunities like this!
