As many doll collectors and enthusiasts would know by now, Bratz (MGA) lost the battle with Barbie (Mattel). It looks like MGA has started work (as in selling already) on a new line of dolls to replace the soon to be taken off the shelves Bratz dolls.
Meet the Moxie Girlz…
Lexa, Sasha, Avery and Sophina
They are -
- Lexa – a brunette doll with fair skin and green eyes, she is most likely Caucasian
- Sasha – a black haired doll with light brown skin, she could be African American or any other ethnicity with dark skin
- Avery – blonde, fair with blue eyes, has to be Caucasian
- Sophina – black haired doll with olive skin, most likely Hispanic judging by the name…
Of course, Asians don’t exist in this universe either /snark/ or you could pretend that Sophina is Asian with um wavy hair…
I actually think the dolls look really cute and I can see the 5-10 year olds loving these girls. My only other criticism apart from the non-existence of Asians, is that the face mould and the face paints are exactly the same albeit in different colours… but then Bratz was also done with the same face + paint template so I guess it stays consistent with that. Maybe that’s what little kids like? But then, the same criticism could also be applied to current line of Mattel’s Playline Barbie dolls.
These Moxie dolls do look really adorable much better than Bratz I think – does anyone else notice how similar the line name Moxie is to Mixi?
