Bratz Babyz
As a subset of the Bratz line, in which all of the dolls are at infant age, it was titled under the brand name Bratz Babyz.[1] The brand is split into two lines, the regular Bratz Babyz and the Bratz Big Babyz.
Bratz Babyz
In 2004, the first Bratz Babyz were made. The babyz were "Cloe", "Sasha", "Jade" and "Yasmin" (the first Bratz.) The dolls came with a changing bag, a nap blanket, bottle on a chain and a pet based on the girl's nickname (e.g. Sasha's nickname is Bunny Boo, so she has a bunny.) Later on, in 2005, "Meygan", "Fianna", "Cameron" and "Dana" joined the Bratz Babyz group.
Also, in 2005, they released the 'Hair Flair' collection. Instead of having plastic hair, the dolls had fiber hair like regular Bratz dolls.
Bratz Big Babyz
Soon after, they made Bratz Big Babyz; dolls approximately five times the size of regular Babyz dolls. In 2006, the Bratz Big Babyz Bubble Trouble Dolls appeared. These dolls laughed, burped, and blew bubbles when you fed them soda. Six months after the Bratz Babyz Hair Flair, the Big Babyz had their own realistic hair version released; the "Bratz Big Babyz Hair Flair".
Bratz Lil' Angelz
The Bratz Lil' Angelz are newborn babyz with different mouths then other bratz. They have a smile line and thin lips. They each come with newborn pets, and are numbered in a collection of dolls. They also came out at first with molded hair.
Secret Surprise dolls - Lil' Angelz came out with Secret Surprise dolls (dolls with hoodies). They could either be a boy or girl.
Heavenly Hair - Bratz Lil' Angelz came out with Heavenly Hair Dolls, which have the regular hair.
Tiny Tinklez - Bratz lil' angelz which urinate when given water. They come with two pets, which can also drink and urinate.
Alleged profanity
On Christmas Day 2006, Miami resident Kristina Acre received the Singing Jade doll as a gift. According to her father, Luis Acre, Kristina told him that the doll was saying "lots of bad words". According to Luis Acre these include "the f and b words".[2] Later, MGA Entertainment responded on their website about the report. The lyrics—which do not contain profanity—are posted on the Bratz.com website in the Videos & Music section under Bratz Babyz The Movie - Music.
