Editorial Review

Guess what! Dora the Explorer has jumped on the royal bandwagon! This intrepid explorer is now a fairy tale princess with magical hair that grows when the jewel in her crown is pressed with a wand. Dora talks and sings, too, in both English and Spanish: "Vamanos! Let's go to fairytale land! Will you brush my hair?" The 14-inch-tall plastic doll is not designed to be cuddled so much as played with and groomed. She is attired in a satiny yellow gown trimmed in pink and purple, and has a brush, barrettes, and magic wand. The magical tresses emerging from the hair-growing tube are quite realistic, although grownups, at least, might be a little unnerved at the sleek brown hair oozing in and out of Dora's head. Still, children are experts at suspending disbelief and accepting weirdness in the world, so they probably won't mind a bit. Four AA batteries required (included). --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

ThankYou
From #1 Bratz Fan

cloe funk out !
I think all bratz are beautiful but when you look at Cloe she
is so beautiful that you feel like taking her out of the box
even when shes in the store, I think she is the cutest she has
ever been.(My brother liked her he said shes the preetiest they
ever made a cloe).

Cloe
This doll is so cute!My friend has her and the only doll she'll want to trade this cloe for is for strut it-cloe!She won't even trade it for a winter one!I play with hers,I have 23 bratz and still want more=)She has 3.This cloe is so cute she has a great hairstyle and cute clothes,my friend hasn't even lost anything of cloe!Over one month has past and she still has her origanl hairstyle without one knot out of place,if my friend like this doll you'll love her,if my friend takes care of her you'll take care of her perfect.(...)

Sooo cool!
I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS DOLL. SHE IS
DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER CLOE DOLLS.
I AM TAKING THIS DOLL ON VACATION
AND SHE IS GOING TO BE THE HIT OF THE SHOW.

THIS CLOE DOLL IS A FASHION STATEMENT. IF YOU GET HER YOU CAN PRETEND THAT SHE IS REALLY POPULAR.SHE COMES TO YOU COMPLETE WITH:
* BUBBLE BATH SHIRT
* NAVY BLUE SHIRT
* FUNNY LOOKING BLUE CAPRIS
* A WHITE MINI SKIRT
* AND SOME EXTRAS

THIS DOLL IS THE CUTEST AND THE COOLEST.

BUY THIS DOLL!!!!!

MGA how can u do this?
alright. i was so excited for the funk out collection and most of all cloe... i love her individual style and grace. but then i saw this doll. her style would never wear this in a bazillion years, let alone the hairstyle. mga should have thought about this doll more carefully. i would have been happy if she wore a tanktop and sparkly jeans, and the usual cute accsessories, but i do not own this doll, nor do i wish to own this doll. she is ugly compared 2 all the other bratz cloes. sorry MGA but this doll won't do for anyone i know.
hope this helped somebody. ... Read more

Jade is the best!
As usual Jade is the ''Punk Princess'' of the party. I think Jade is the best Bratz doll because I love her jet black hair and punk rock style. If you wanna buy a Jade doll this is the one!

Seeya,
Michelle

FunKy ChiCka
this jade, like all the other ones before her is soooooo cool. i personally think that she's the best one out of the pack, well, atleast she the best style wise, because shes different, and like someone else said shes not a follower...she marches to her own drum, that is really respectable. (...) i think that it teaches other girls its cool not to try to be like everyone else, and and to set your own trends thats why i think its somewhat educational. i like the glossy reddish streakz in her long black hair, thats an upgrade. but anywayz this one iz awesome and i think you should get her!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Jade Ever Made!
I always thought that Strut it Jade was the coolest Jade until....I found out what this one was like! Her clothes are really cool and she's more....Her than some of the other dolls! The only problem is, her earings are tiny. this was my first bratz with earings, and I diddn't know that the earings came out so when I did, It was too late! Anyway, Jade is cooler than my other 2 Bratz. I reccomend you buy HER!!

jade is wonderful as always!!!
jade has always been lovely and had her own style, she was a leader not a follower!
thanks mga for this spectacular doll once again!

Funk Out! Jade is Far Out!
Jade was the first doll I snatched up in the new Funk Out! collection because her clothes are awesome! Her style refects the current "punk" trend with layed look tee and pleated micro mini skirt. She also comes with white capris with a muli-belted look and a hot pink muscle t-shirt with her trademark cat. The best thing about Jade, however, is her hair! Not only does she sport cool streaks in her black hair, she has TONS of it! I reccommend taking her hair out the pony tail it comes in so any little stylist can have more fun with it! (Be sure to brush Jade's hair thoroughly but carefully because there's "hairspray" holding it in place which makes some of the hairs break. After some brushing, her ankle-length hair does become nice and soft!) Jade also comes with tiny earrings and bracelets so she's definetly a must for an older Bratz fan! ... Read more

great toy!!
my 10 year old plays for hours with this toy ,the hair and nails are very realistic --a must for your little ladys xmas list!!!

Great toy
I purchased this doll for my daughter's 6th birthday. We both have a wonderful time playing with it. We absolutely love curling barbie's hair & doing her nails. It's an awesome toy!

Funkalicious!
Ok, so I'm not a kid or anything but I think that these dolls are the best! They are the only ones that I've ever seen who wear clothes that are anywhere close to the clothes that real teens wear. This glam-diva doll is no exception. Her hair is adorable, her green and pink make-up is stylish and almost gives me a few ideas, and I totally want her camo capris/white tank top outfit! (Not to mention a pair of those killer green boots!) People who are down on these dolls have obviously never taken a good look at them.

it's great
I BOUGHT THIS DOLL A WHILE AGO AND I LOVE IT!!!! HER ARMY CAPRI PANTS R CUTE AND I LIKE HER GLAM TANK-TOP.THE PINK AND CAMO SKIRT IS CUTE BUT SOMETIMES IT FALLS OFF[THATS'S WHY I GAVE DURABILITE 4 STARS].HER WHITE PINK FLOWER TANK-TOP IS NICE AND I LIKE HER LIGHT GREEN BOOTS AND CARD THING.I PLAY WITH HER ALOT BUT THE THING I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT HER IS HER MAKE-UP. I GAVE EDUCATIONAL VALUE 1 STAR 'CAUSE IT DOES NOT TEACH ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD. GO OUT AND BUY THIS TOY. U WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!!!

YOUR A DOLL ALRIGHT!!!
First off, let me say I am not a child, but there is a Big one that lives inside me and she loves to collect dolls. So, sometimes I let her have her way. Now, on to SASHA'S WORLD. This little lady has it going on!!!! I looked the other FUNK OUT Bratz over and she is the one that is five STARS ( after her I would say YASMIN is second that sun dress is too cute) for lots of reasons but here are a few:

1. Her hair style and painted face, along with the sun glasses and earrings really show that the design team behind this doll were doing their job.

2. The outfits that come with her are really the best I think out of the bunch. The pink flowers that are used to soften up the army green pants really work. The white and green top go so well with either the skirt ( too cute) or the pants. The shoes just wrap it all up very nicely. Did I say I was in fashion design? Well, I am and these clothes and the detail that is put into this BRATZ line are really up to the minute stylish.

3. Some of the BRATZ collection can be rather expensive if your child ( you )are into wanting the new outfits that have to be brought with new dolls. For the price of 13.99 this is a great one to get.

Hats off to whoever is behind all of this your work and research
into the fashion world really shine with this doll.

Funk-out Sasha
Bratz Funk-out Sasha is the best! I just luv her cool outfits. Sasha comes with 2 gorgeous pink and green no-sleeve tops, green camoflauge pants, cool pink skirt, stylin' purse and two pairs of shoes. This Sasha doll also comes with a cool-lectible card.I think this doll is one of the best Sashas ever. This cute doll is my twelveth Bratz. I am sure that any Bratz fan will love her. She is suitable for ages 6+. So, I encourage you to buy her and the rest of the Funk-out collection!!!

Best ever!
I am bratz collecter and I'm (...)! I have 27 bratz now and -
Salon & Spa, Runaway disco, Hair salon, Cloe head, bratz bag, bratz guide, bratz notebook, bratz shirt, bratz bedroom everything bratz! I personally liked this sasha better than all the funk outs because she seemed to stand out more than all the others another bratz funk out I liked was the Nevra! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Odette, Swan Lake's enchanting and enchanted princess, has never looked less like a water fowl. According to the story, she is spitefully turned into a swan, but here Odette is all-girl from her tiara-topped curls down through her ballet slippers. Her gown, designed with a nod to the famous ballet, is the prettiest a doll could own. It's pink and blue with several sheer layers of skirt and feathery tendrils of fabric that adorn the waist. Barbie also has an ornate, corseted bodice and jeweled choker, but the real showstopper is undoubtedly the glittering plastic wings that light up and flap when the two buttons on the doll's back are pressed. --Diane Beall ...

Granddaughter Knows Best!
I bought this doll for my three year old granddaughter for Christmas. When the box arrived we opened it together, (I of course, told her that it was a present for my niece).

When she saw this doll her eyes lit up, she kissed the doll (still in the box of course) and exclaimed she's beautiful (one of my favorite words). All that day she kept saying I love Mari's doll, I want one and can I play with her. That in and of itself says a lot for a doll I would say. Especially since my granddaughter has many other dolls and quickly loses interest in them once they are out of the box.

Her dress has a lot of glitter that needs to be shaken off before she is played with. I love the fact that the wings are detachable. When she puts on other outfits and plays with the Barbie Ford Escape SUV (bought from Buy.com for $7.99) she can still play with this beautiful doll.

Educationally speaking, this doll is good for hours of make believe fun if you play with the Enchanted Forest Playset (or any other for that matter).

I think that this doll was offered for a very good price and will probably be around for years to come. I'm surely impressed. ... Read more

Yasmin is the Best ---- PLEASE READ THIS!!
Yasmin comes with 2 pairs of shoes, two tops, two bottoms, sunglasses, earrings and brush. The earrings are easy to lose, so put them in a small box. Also, put the other items(NOT THE DOLL) in a seperate larger box. It will be all organised and you you won't go looking to find lost clothing, shoes. etc. When you go to bed, put Yasmin sitting on your bedside table. Yasmin is my favorite bratz. Make sure you come the hair alot, ortherwise it will become all tangled up or messy.

*The earrings come off by getting the earring by your fingers, then pull it outwards.

*The way I brush her hair it getting the hair by my hand, then brush her hair(this will probably prevent her head falling off).

*Sometimes her pants are a little hard to get on, so pull it up tightly.

*Her shoes are easy to put on. Just push it on until it goes in place.

*Take her shoes off by pulling off them.

*I REALLY HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPED YOU OUT A BIT.

(...)

Definitely THE COOLEST Yasmin!
I always thought that they made the most effort with Yasmin's clothes, I mean, from what i've heard some of her clothes are a bit fiddly and overdone. Not on this doll! Her clothes and hair are brilliant, but her bangles and earings are very small, so you have to be careful with them. I reccomend this doll, and all the other Funk Out Bratz dolls for an 8+
I hope you found this review helpful.

This is Yasmin!
Other Yasmins like the Wintertime Wonderland or styl it! and so on aren't the real Yasmin! I think this is the way Yasmin are. A nice dress, funny boots.... More like a princess. IF YOU WANT A BRATZ YASMIN THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!

Yasmin ?
When I first looked at this doll I didn't reconized this was Yasmnin. Lately MGA been making Yasmin different. The clothes are so ugly ! And the Yasmin doll itself has a terrible makeup.
DO NOT GET THIS DOLL.
Cindy

great toy
The bratz toy is great you can bring it anywhere in the car or on a far ride. The olny bad thing about it it's shoes are hard to get on. It will come with lots of clothes you should realy have more than one doll or it's not as FUN. ... Read more

Rated by a Bratz fan
I think this is a poor excuse for a bratz. She dosn't even look cool! Her makeup is way to dark, and her hair looks like she just rolled out of bed!!! Her clothes are okay.
i like the other styles of Bratz more. Like the Strut It! collection, they look cooler and more realistic, or more like something you or i would wear.

A Different Sort Of Dana
I love the look of suspenders and that, along with the hair style and color scheme was what prompted me to buy Dana. One downside about the hair is that the cut limits styling options. When you take down the ponytail, her style turns into a mullet. I highly recommend taking it down at least once though, to give her hair a gentle wash and remove the crispy gel if it's going to be a play doll.
The clothing seems relitively durable to me, though if the owner is prone to losing little pieces then the bracelets and earrings should probably be put away.
She's very different from the other Danas, the colors are much bolder and the makeup is more apparent. I disagree that she looks like a Flava doll though. Where their style is meant to be inspired by hip-hop, FO Dana reminds me more of someone who might shop at Hot Topic and enjoy 80's punk rock.

Awesome, Punked-Out Dana!
I only recently obtained this wonderful doll, and am already convinced of her all-around awesomness! I really took notice of the individuality of the Funk Out! collection, but couldn't pick a favorite from the online pictures. However, on seeing them in person, Dana was the frontrunner. After her comes the wild, camo-girl Sasha, sultry Jade, colorful, sweet Yasmin, then a last place tie on Cloe, Fianna, and Nevra. I hope to have my favorites, or all of the dolls, eventually. Anyway, on to the details on Dana. Her makeup is darker and bolder this time, featuring cherry red lips, smoky shadow, amd dark eyeliner. Her hair is great. The long ponytail of dark mink brown is so soft and manageable. But I really love the golden-highlighted, sassoon-cut front. I found myself wishing that the whole head of hair was that length. Her first outfit is amazingly cutting-edge punk. The cute, cap sleeve red kitty top is cropped and gathered up at the sides. I love her white suspenders on that dark, pleated denim mini with the studded belt. The white, laced armwarmers are awesome, as are her red and black spike, strappy heels. Her second outfit is also wonderful. The black mesh bunny tank looks great over the heathered red tee. The snow white, belted micro mini is a perfect set off, as are the black, scrunchy boots. Finally, she has some great accessories to pull it all together: three bracelets (black, red, and white), red, cat-eye sunglasses, cute black leather purse with studs and ties, and adorable white flower earrings with red centers. All of these pieces are great for mixing and matching! I highly recommend this doll.

This can not be Dana
This does not look like Dana(I have and reviewed Girls nite out Dana)the clothes look like something a flava doll would wear I mean come on! MGAE was not thinking when thay made this doll!

pretty good but not the best
I like this doll but she is a little unrealistic for a doll. She has a huge head and giant lips. on the other hand she is short and not smiling like barbie or those cheesy my scene dolls. But it is a little mean for mga to put her in the pack and then just kick megyan out. i like meygan alot and i heard about 3 weeks ago that meygan has returned. Other then that dana is a realy nice doll. ... Read more

2-cool 2-be 4-real! Forget Beach Blanket Bingo. Ultra trendy hipsters Brianeeand Sana know how to make beach parties hot! These two pals, clad in bathing suits, wraps, and sandals, are ready for some fun in the sun. The 9-inch dolls have long, realistic hair and some moveable joints--plus, they can hold hands! Best of all, they can be transported in style in their ribbon-handled sturdy cardboard carrying case (heart-shaped, of course). Accessories include two real charm bracelets (big enough for their human buddies!), faux makeup, tropical drinks, cooler, brush, sunglasses, sunscreen, boom box with CDs, beach bag, and more. Girls will want to collect all the other 4-Ever friends: Calista, Akire, Dianthe, and Noelle. Everything is twice as much fun with a best friend! --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this toy was so fun that i had to go and buy the rest of the packages of the girls that i didn't have and the pther clothes because i would play with these dolls for hours at a time so i think they would be great for any kids of any age.

Great toy for sisters
I have two girls one is 8 and the other is 5 they loved these dolls. It's nice to pay $20.00 and walk out of the store with two dolls that they will both be able to play with. The bodies are like little girls...sorta chubby with no chest.
My girls are also military kids and they are moving soon. WE think this would be great for gifts to friends moving.
All in all its a nice toy that girls will appreciate.

Adorable Dolls!!
I have never seen these dolls in person, but the dolls are so cute online. I think it's great how Calista and Noelle look just like two of my friends! I think it would be nice if they made an asian doll and a brunette, too, because I have brown hair and would love to have a doll that looks like me.

These dolls look so realistic, too! Their body shapes are less skinny and unreal than the Bratz and My Scene dolls, and they have less revealing clothing. You can also buy more clothing seperately for any of the dolls to wear.

Noelle is probably my favorite, since I adore redhead dolls. I was glad they had an ethinic doll, too (Sana). I thought it was great that Brianee has brown eyes because not too many blonds have brown eyes! And Calista is really cute, too!

Overall, these dolls are pretty inexpensive, and very cute. I recommend them to girls ages 7 and up. ... Read more

The Happy Birthday Barbie doll is released annually, and this year she is as lovely--in much the same way--as she was the year before. This time, Cotillion chic supplants prom vogue. Heavy brown bangs replace last year's fringes. Fuchsia dominates over the purple or pink from before. The big bow that was a bustle or hat, is now at Barbie's waist. Get the point? A few things do add interest, like a tiny gift box (to fill with a ring for Mommy, or a jaw breaker for Daddy?). There's also a tiny paper birthday card and cake, but a deft Barbie fan knows where real value lies: the kid-sized tiara. Shiny and colorful, it can be added to a dress-up wardrobe or worn to steal the thunder of a pint-sized nemesis. Toy includes small parts, not for kids under 3 years old. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Birthday Gift For My Niece
I bought this gift for my 3 year old niece and she loved it. It came with a cute little tiara for the birthday girl. Unfortunately I think she was a bit too young for the toy because she wanted to undress it and she ended up losing the shoes. My sister ended up putting it away because she said that it was too nice for my niece to ruin. So what she did was she put it up on a shelf and it made a very nice display doll for my niece's room. I think that this doll is too pretty for a younger child to play with and ruin. I would recommend it for an older girl, or for use as a display for a collector or to add a touch of decoration for a little girls room to match the barbie comfortor, curtains, etc. ... Read more

Rock-a-bye baby--when this doll is patted, the crying will stop. Rock A ByeChou Chou makes lots of cooing and burbling sounds, and just like a real baby, she criesfor attention, too. She can be comforted by patting her firmly on the back or by giving hera bottle or her own pink pacifier. When Chou Chou is placed on her back to sleep, herblue eyes close, and she "falls asleep" with gentle, regular breathing sounds. When she'spicked up, her eyes pop open and she "wakes up" with giggling or crying. The 19-inchdoll has the same high-quality materials and construction of all Zapf dolls, with a pretty,hard-vinyl face, molded vinyl hands and feet, and bean-filled arms and legs for a cuddlyfeel. Rock A Bye Chou Chou wears a pink and white sleeper with a matching cap, andshe requires three AA batteries (not included) to power her coos and cries. --MarcieBovetz ... Read more

African American Chou Chou Doll
When I first saw the chou chou doll, I ran to tell my mom
about her.Her beautiful face will light any little girls
face up.Her soft body will make you hold her in your arms,
and never let her go. The chou chou doll is an excellent
item for your little mommies to be.When you see her the very
first time your eyes light up with joy.I personally enjoyed
chou chou because, she gave me the feel of being a mommy.

Disappointing
I purchased this doll for my daughter last year for a Christmas gift. I was very excited when I read what the doll could do. That is the only reason why I purchased the doll. However, she does not do everything she is supposed to do. I took her back to the store thinking we had a defective doll. Not true. The doll does not cry or laugh. The only thing she seems to do is make a cooing sound. Very disappointing. However, my daughter still plays with her.

she is great
me and my husband are expecting our first child in july of 2004 and my god mother suggested that we get baby chou chou for practice she is very cute and realistic i cant wait until i have my baby she cries and laughs and sometimes she cries just for attention you know just to be held she is a big responsiblity and we are sure our baby to be will

Love baby cho cho
I purchased this doll for my 5 year old soon to be 6 year old and she absolutely adores the doll. I purchased the doll because I am excpecting my second child in a couple of weeks and wanted her to have a toy that would keep her occupied and understand babies a little more. The doll really feels baby-like and the sounds are great, although I wish she made a little more noises, which I understand the baby ananable does. I also purchased the outfit and diaper bag set, she loves the diaper bag which gives her a sense of being a real mom. My husband and myself enjoyed pretending with my daughter with the doll baby we were nominated to be her baby sitter as she went to pretend work. ... Read more
