Ah screw it. I'm just going to make a cartoon and new line of toys for kids called Hoez.

See:
http://www2.foxstore.com/detail.html?item=1247

This is out of control. Here the real synopsis, geared for girls under nine:

How will they get ready for the funky formal and turn in a kickin' cool project? Leave it to The Girls with a Passion for Fashion™ to express themselves with a scorchin' home video about their superstylin' prom prep...even as a secret gossip columnist begins to attack the pack in the school paper! But with a lil' hard work and some far-out flash 'n' dash, the girls just might create a high-fashion hit - and save the prom!

They also get a homework assignment on self expression!

Personally, I don't have too much against Bratz dolls. The main thing that bothers me about them is that in order to change their shoes, you have to take off their entire feet. Ewewew. I still prefer a good Barbie doll. :tink:

They're Audrey IIs? :o "Feed Me!"

Personally I can't see why any child should be attracted to them... not when Pokemon are still around. Who wants a Bratz when you can have a good Jigglypuff? Eh?

That said, I did just about catch the beginning of the Masters of the Universe fad... and boy, are those <strike>dolls</strike> action figures embarassing and un-PC these days. :oops:

So what I'm saying is, I suppose every generation has it's own fads.

That's a 2002 model. The 1980's models were poor quality, vastly over priced and I still think they were sort of un-PC (and still are).

Basically in the 1980 you paid premium rates for lumps on plastic tat with no effort what-so-ever being taken in their sculpting.

and what about that kick ass holographic light shooting visionaries line, ghostbusters and ninja turtles always came through with the quality toys, the 88 g.i. joe figures with the cool looking storm shadow, etc... plus the accessories were way cooler, find me any accessories nowadays that could match my castle greyskull or technodrome, ghostbusters firestation and ecto-1, turtles sewer house and turtle van and all the sick g.i joe joe vehicles like the skystorm x-wing chopper, desert fox, tiger force and night force tanks and boats... 80's toys and action figures were unmatched!

Cool ideas ya'll. But some people have way to much time on their hands. I think that would be a neat idea though. But doesn't the world have enough toy companies without 1 more ? Just read my thought there. Toys are all well and good but look at all of the companies that make them. Mattel,Hot Wheels, Matchbox Cars, Tonka, Little Builder, just to name a few. I mean can't you come up with some other idea that might help out or nation more ?

I second that. Back when it was good - it didn't have friggin' Elmo every two minutes, and (at least where I live) it was in a back-to-back block with Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. *sigh* I should write up a "kid's programming" version of King Théoden's "Where is the Horse and Rider...?" speech. :cry:

BRATZ dolls aren't so bad for little girls to collect they are like Barbie dolls. I heard that BRATS would have their own television show this fall or maybe next year during January.
Girls need to collect dolls like boys collect action figures of He-Man, Power Rangers, Spider-Man, X-Men, G.I Joe, Transformers...etc.
It's just a girly thing with dolls okay, man!!!! :D

Personally I cant stand bratz. They repersent eveything young girls should not want to be. Whats that a passion for Fashion? I mean really what kind of example is that for young girls thier clothes thier make up its outrageous. I think that when a child is young they mock almost eveything they see. I would never want to see my little girl dressing up like a Bratz dool becasue its cool with the over done make up and ochie clothes. I would not have so much against them if thier world did not relvoe around shopping all the time , Partying and boys.its like some one said in another thread. Have you heard of the Back to school Bratz doll? Well the answer is NO! but you can see a prom Bratz doll. At least Barbie who has also lot her quality along the years cant be found clothed a little bit more. Okay well I am done complaining for now about this horrendous toys.

Stupid BRATZ. They always make themselves look stupid. Anyway this isn't the first I've seen of pathetic movies in theaters. Take the Power Rangers movie for example. Boy I bet the Japanesse are suprised on how the US is buying all this junk (like Digimon, Yugi-Oh, Power Rangers, Godzilla, ect.) from them. Just shows why the nuclear bomb is a really scary thing.

yes I can understand that Godzilla is probably one of the best things that Japan came up with. I remember that there was an Godzilla movie that came out in 2000 which had Godzilla in NYC and it was like that Godzilla was a bad thing. anyone remembers that movie?
