Four original 10\" dolls were released in 2001 – Cloe, Jade, Sasha, and Yasmin. They featured almond-shaped eyes adorned with eyeshadow, and lush, glossy lips.Bratz reached great success and the original line of dolls was expanded with a number of spin-offs like Bratz Kidz, and Bratz Babyz, as well as media featuring the Bratz characters, including a movie, TV series, music albums and video games. In 2005, global sales were two billion dollars and by 2006 Bratz had about forty percent of the fashion-doll market.Bratz have provoked controversy in several areas. From the dolls' stylized proportions to fashion-forward clothing, the brand has always followed pop culture trends closely. For years, MGA Entertainment was involved in a lengthy legal dispute with Mattel over the rights to the Bratz design. In 2011, the dispute ended with MGA as the victors. Related litigation is ongoing in a lawsuit by MGA alleging Mattel's theft of trade secrets.In early 2010, Bratz took a brief hiatus after Mattel's first lawsuit and returned later that year to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the franchise. The dolls returned with a distinct new look, heavily inspired by that of the brand's earliest artwork, and what MGA described as \"more ample clothing\" in an attempt to please the brand's critics. Despite their intent, the new dolls were met with mixed reactions from fans. Because of the lukewarm response to the first season's offerings, the brand underwent several changes between 2011 and 2013 in the hope of fully satisfying the needs of its fans. The final and most drastic change occurred in 2013, as the dolls were again revamped with a taller body and an all-new logo and branding.Despite a slight increase in interest after this change, many fans were still left dissatisfied. It was because of this response that MGA Entertainment made the decision to completely overhaul the Bratz brand throughout 2014, in an effort to return the brand to its roots. As a result, none of the Bratz 2014 product line was offered to North American retailers.In July 2015, a set of new dolls were released, introducing a new main character, a new slogan, and a new website design. The Bratz logo was also reverted to the original font. The bodies were changed to be 10\" tall again, but with a new body and head mold. The face paint was changed to match the new artwork that was heavily inspired by the original artwork. A stop-motion web series premiered in August, 2015. The Bratz app was released in September 2015 to accompany the new dolls and web series."@en }
