Wow, I wasn’t expecting to be featured in this video. Thank you Clawdeena for highlighting and addressing some of my experiences, from discovering the doll community on Flickr, to my success as a fashion illustrator/designer, which led to my collab with Bratz. Definitely a nostalgic trip down doll memory lane & a great discussion to have about the ups & downs of how you can be treated by people in the doll community once you start to become successful. I’ve addressed it as some know, but it was incredibly hurtful when I was treated that way by certain individuals, who went out of their way to basically spearhead a hate campaign against me so that other people in the community wouldn’t support my collab. IMO, you hit the nail on the head. It came from a place of envy, spite, and I believe racism in some cases. A lot of gaslighting & masquerading as “constructive feedback” but ultimately was very much bullying & it was something I was not really prepared for because I hadn’t done anything to deserve/warrant it in the slightest. My reputation in the doll community was always a positive one, so when I was blamed for things beyond my control, lies were spread or people were trying to assassinate my character, I felt I had to stand up for myself. Nonetheless, I am now forever part of Bratz history & that is something that can never be erased by any of the individuals who tried to diminish it. Being a British & black/mixed race creative and getting the opportunity to design my own Bratz line is something incredibly iconic to me personally & I put my heart & soul into working on it. I will forever be grateful to the people who have been genuinely kind/supportive from the beginning to now, and even the ones that sincerely apologised later on. I wish people were more compassionate & thought before typing & how what you say could potentially impact someone. As cliché as it may sound, just be kinder! I’m also so happy to see the Bratz brand thriving again 💜💜💜💜

Well I'm glad I learnt what pseudoaltruism is. Far too many people behave this way online, it infuriates me. It's nice to finally have a word to be able to describe that behaviour of theirs that pisses me off.

It’s honestly a bit mind blowing & tragic Hayden’s Collector line got so much criticism…the girls are some of the best Bratz has EVER made imo. Next to Flashback Fever, GNO, WWW, Treasurez, Princess, Formal Funk, Nighty Nite, etc.

The Hayden situation was so unserious bc now ppl are crying, snotting, begging on their knees for him to design a new bratz line bc they didn’t get a chance to get the 2018 line and they’re salty and they got tired of the repros , maybe if y’all weren’t being NASTY he could’ve been a mainstay on the bratz creative team and we could’ve got more bratz x Hayden lines, but the girls wanted to be jealous and weird

I remember being a kid (pastors son) and there was this girl in church who had hundreds of bratz dolls and we used to sneak off and play with them haha. Occasionally she’d help me sneak one to my house lmaoo. That was the start of me loving fashion dolls

I don’t think people realize how big bratz was for their time! having 3 out of the 4 main characters being women of color at a time when we didn’t have the diversity we do now.

I just got my first Bratz and I finally get it. I get that the size of feet makes them stand on their own. I get the fashionability and the quality. I got a repro Felicia and the skin tone is gorgeous. I also grabbed the PRIDE set second hand with every item except the Roxxi doll, so my Felicia is dating Nevra. 💖 I grabbed a Chelsea My Scene recently too because I had one as a child, but I don’t like her as much as my Bratz. I can’t wait to see what happens this year.

Hayden‘s collection was amazing and it was so heartbreaking to see how he was treated especially when he did something that a lot of people couldn’t which was revamp a brand and get people interested in Bratz again… that’s a fact and clearly now we realize MGA drop the ball a lot. He definitely didn’t deserve that.

Bratz dolls are literally here to bring back the Golden Age of Fashion Dolls! ✨

i looove the fact you references insta handles of the people involved and credited the correct people give their flowers

If MGA and Mattel came together they could make an amazing line of dolls and products lol 😂

Thank you so much for your video🙏This was truly eye opening! What a shame people treated Hayden and others this way. We should be coming together and holding each other up in the doll community💖💖

i’m so so excited for the new always bratz!! i’ve been hunting for them and cannot find them in stores ANYWHERE 😭🤣 absolutely loved the video and thank you sm for including tiana!!! 🥹

i obsessed over both myscene and bratz as a kid, so seeing BOTH come back now is a dream come true . though i am sad that MGA is deprioritizing RH/SH due to this, like we can have more then 1 teen/adult nostalgia line per company, its no biggie. i got a repro rock angel sasha, and literally all i need is a forever diamonds comeback to make my kid self happy.

#justiceforhayden he doesn’t deserve the hate

I never understood people from the community disliking other people who were from the community getting there big break with MGA especially when the product they were giving us was the best being released from the brand at the time. It’s so nice to see people who have the same interest as you have their dreams come true as well. The jealousy is crazy.

I actually bought my first Bratz doll today…. This is huge… since I am a Mycene doll collector since 20 years 😂

Bratz were my thing! I loved their super detailed, unique, high quality clothes and cute accessories and other items. Barbie was super lame and too princess-like doll in my eyes, our barbies had only princess dresses and they all were blonde. Bratz had much more variation in every way and they had way more personality! I was a big fan of Yasmin dolls, my sister had Sasha, Nevra and Cloe. I wish to buy Megan some day. 😍

I want bratzillaz to come back so bad…

how does this only have 128 views after 30 minutes

I actually bought my first bratz doll today 😂 as a MyScene collector of 20 years… this is huge 😆

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT ANGELAPARKS THE OTHER DAY!!! That series had me in a chokehold

Fabulous work as per usual. I imagine if the original core four existed in real life and watched this, they would shower you with applause and praise. When I have told you that nobody does KZfaq content quite like you, they truly don’t. You put so much hard work and dedication and care into your art. So exquisitely polished. And thank you for sharing my photo. You didn’t have to do that, but I really do appreciate it.💖💖💖💖💖

The parents are just mad because they don’t look good as the Bratz dolls😂

OMGGG the Jpoplover1000 mention was so necessary only OG’s know about him!!!

Im so happy bratz got so much attention and is so big now ! I love love love collecting bratz. I just hate the prices for older dolls… but I have enough. I will collect the newer ones from now on

THE KZfaq SERIES!!! FABULOUS LIFE OF BRATZ WAS SUCH A HUGE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD OMG THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT CLAWDEENAAA🩷🩷🩷😭😭

I love Barbies, Bratz, My Scene, Monster High and Rainbow High

I agree Bratz is STILL boycotted by media. I really hope the new line makes success so it can stay forever in the shelves

Lucy Hale was in the Bratz Commercial 😊😊 I can't believe it that's awesome 😎

LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED the video Clawdeena!!! So happy see Bratz back and ready to reclaim their throne. And thanks for the little cameo I make in the video! Love you !😆🖤💕🩷🖤

So long as they get the ethnicities right, things should hopefully be good... If they can learn from the last attempt...

At 50, I'm thinking it's funny how the generation of parents that as kids, grew up with Siouxsie Sioux, and 'Like A Virgin', Madonna, had a big problem with Bratz for their children. That being said, initially I was like 'wtf', when the dolls came out, for all of 5 minutes. Then I watched the tv shows, played the PS2 games, and bought the dolls! ^^

The Tokyo a go go dolls were definitely an inspiration for the always bratz dolls’ eyelashes

I was never keen on Bratz but I loved MyScene. I admit now that I think affectionately of Bratz, they are sassy.

Omg I missed ur stop motion era 😭

Something about Bratz and Monster high getting rebranded because they were seen as inappropriate but like those parents still bought the dolls for their kids. I saw these dolls as like coming of age dolls when your nearing the end of the toy phase between 9-12. Bratz coming back and targeting the same generation that they started with makes sense because we’re always gonna want more

Thanks for the new Game of Life makeover❤❤❤❤ I really do like custom-made makeover games oh and by the way I really like your videos😊😊😊😊

Yass I'm all the way here for bratz great break down Clawdeena another amazing video.

I’m so exited!!!! I love bratz

As a New Bratz fan, I got into Bratz around late 2020 to 2021 and have a few dolls I agree that new fans should be welcome instead of bickering about certain aspects because, at the end of the day, we all like this brand and most of the arguments are pointless and so unserious sometimes. I remember I got bashed because I thought the campfire line had Sasha in it and I mistaken her for Felicia😓. I do believe that Bratz is going to dominate this year just because Bratz has been using some smart strategies and marketing during their 20th anniversary up to the present I feel like it will just continue to get better. I also find it very suspicious that MGA rebooted Rainbow High and stopped putting money into LOL Surprise and put all their focus on Bratz same thing at Mattel with Barbie, Monster High, My Scene, and possibly Ever After High coming back this is about to be a doll war for real.

I feel left out cause none of my posts were used 😂😂 I’m also friends with many of these people so I’m happy to see them get there recognition!! Ughhh Flickr really brings me back tho! Sophie says hi hehe

always enjoy your videos ...thank you so much.

I personally really like the edgy promiscuous vibe of Bratz dolls

I hope the continue to make new, cool, KAWAII/Harajuku inspired Bratz dolls! Also, I’m hoping My Scene adds articulation to the dolls arms.

Wait whattttt My Scene is coming back no wayyyyy seriously

so excited for more bratz!

So excited to see what happens for new Bratz dolls!

I enjoyed the history lesson, thanks! That is fun. 😏👍

I just know with how fast the alwayz bratz are already flying off the shelf’s at Walmart and on the Amazon website that we will be getting a alwayz bratz series 2. All I know is. I need an Always bratz Felicia, Meghan, Dana , nevra and a phoebe & roxxi 2 pack

Its kinda funny that mysean is comeing back when bratz has been good on the road and even have a game i mean i love the bratz as they were the first ones that honestly didnt have to much pink and also letted me be my happy goth self sadly i couldent really do that with barbie as it was more pink then anything and its kinda funny how the twevils and berdean honestly was all pink it was also refeshing to have something that was divers as being very pail i didnt feel all that exepted with playing barby as they had no dalls that wer very pail or really showed disablities or even different body types or even different skin tones i feel like bratz did start that first as i felt more exepted when i was much younger and now i feel even better thanks to bratz❤

i honestly feel like the myscene reboot is gonna give them a run for their money

Very informative, I always enjoy your videos!

I remember watching bratz I am the brand has grown I am proud to be part of the community I hope we get a new tv show and movies someday

Thank you for making this! As a very active member of the Bratz Flickr back in the day its great to hear about our little community 🩷

The stripy suit of the Hayden collector Bratz is so gorgeous. I am probably the only one who likes the 2015 Bratz. They are totally different but I find them fun and cool in their own way.

I miss when the Bratz use to come with 2 fashions.

I love this!!! Bratz are so iconic! ❤

Omg if MyScene comes back I'll be upset because I loved them when they came out but always been a Bratz fan since day 1. I have rainbow/shadow high and new Bratz on my small display. Bratz for the win 🖤

22:06 her co-star already stared in a live action Bratz movie in the past.

I’ve been a Bratz fan for 7 years now!

I am more of a Barbie Boy, Bratz were never really my thing, but I gotta be honest, I LOVE the new allways Bratz dolls, REALLY WANT ALL 4, And I will probably buy repeats to articulate my extra small Bratz collection (4 dolls to be extact)

My Hayden Cloe doll is perfect I still have her I only wish she would've came with a dark lip liner with that red lip 😭 but I still love her

I always liked Bratz because of their oomph factor. There was something about Bratz that Barbie didn't have or she had but it was way too expensive in her collecter edition dolls. Bratz had some of the most high-class accessories, and fashion, and even the Bratz boys seemed menly and had their own personalities, unlike ken that was just like an accessory to Barbie tbh..... Just wish to see Bratz have bodies like m2m with their iconic removable feet and they will definitely

loved this

Ha ha haha head over pop of hills😂😂😂😂

Once again if parents think the dolls look slutty. Than why buy them for younger kids ? These Bratz dolls were made for teenagers and older. If I remember right ? I'm always gonna say this. If you don't like how the dolls look. Don't buy them. It's not other people's job to raise your kids! The parents should be the one to tell their kids to not copy other people, movies or toys. I swear handful of parents gotten lazy over the years and started blaming plastic and other people for their kids bad behavior. When it's the parents fault for not raising the child right all in the end. I know everyone can see what the doll looks like in the box, at the store or online. So why buy it still for your child. If it's not appropriate for your child to play with? That is on you, not on them. I wish some of this parents would get that through their heads. I hope Bratz are here to stay for good. So many teenagers and adults love these Bratz and other dolls. Don't buy these Bratz dolls for younger children. If you think it's not appropriate for them. Problem solved. Don't buy it.

Omg I’ve been a fan since you did the how to curl your dolls hair video on venous mcflytrap

Im not really a doll collector but i feel like i missed out so much by not having bratz as a kid and i kinda wanna get one now 😭 i found an old clawdeen doll still in the box when i moved a few months ago and- idk if this is bad but i wanted to take her out of the box to display her and ever since then shes been sitting on my tv stand and i love her so much. Like i think i want to collect a couple dolls… i dont have room for that many and honestly dolls do not match my decorating style at all but i just love my clawdeen doll so much and shes posing so cool and she just looks awesome?? And like i want her to have a monster high buddy but i also want bratz and barbies 😭

Great video Clawdeena, I’ve spoken with Hayden a few times before and he was always very humble and an all around cool person to speak with. A real creative!

Also I feel like brats made Barbie better because they made Mattel have to make Barbie more fashionable more fashion-forward and less basic but now but then after they were gone Mattel still stayed fashionable until 2020 where everything Barbie once had that kept her cool was gone

I never collected bratz, I had Barbie’s when I was a kid and didn’t collect until monster high. I wasn’t interested because of the lack of nose and big heads….but suddenly I want them. I’ve been watching the movies and shows and bugging my friends about them.

I've been into bratz since early 2000s as a little kid. What DO YOU MEAN HER NAME IS CLOE. she was the first bratz doll I got even 😂

pls cover decora girls ❤

Bratzillaz next please!

Do you know that ever after high released 2 songs on spotify?Can it mean that they comeback🥳🥂

I guess when Mattel got the trademark back for my scene they did it for a reason and I'm glad that my son is going to be making a comeback too because Barbie in recent years has you know lost what she once had which was being a fashionista she used to be fabulous but now she's boring so my scene will definitely be fun because unlike Barbie nowadays my scene was high clam very 2000 which I love

I love bratz sm

Mattel better stay in their goody goody line. Let Bratz shine for once!

Jealousy is ugly

BRATZ GIRLIE 4 EVER 💋

They keep white washing my girl Sasha and Yasmine 😭😭😭😭

Bratz are back

I miss the be-bratz with the camera and all

I'm Barbie collector from 2012 and never ever wonted Brats or Monster dolls, but something happens with this brands and now I want them all!

My Scene Dolls are going to dominate 2024

I wish mattel to be more like MGM...

Oh hell yea, clawdeena9 is my fav KZfaqr. Even tho bratz aren’t that cool monster high is way cooler. Hell yea

Well, they already made a Bratz live action movie and it was huge flop. Hopefully this one is better.

Not pink or punk, better monster 😘😉😂❤

I just wish MGA did not sacrifice rainbow high for a doll line I disliked even when I was at the right age and time period for it.

RIP rainbow high thought...

🙀 doll war 💥😅

I never heard my parents say anything about Bratz dolls looking too sexy. Cause you know what it is? A doll. I had an entire box and let me tell you this box was huge full of bratz dolls cause I was obsessed with them. I even had a bratz car and ended up mixing my bratz dolls with my mh dolls. My bratz being normies and my mh dolls being monsters. And I would have Deuce drive Cleo around in my Bratz car lol. I mean I can see where people come from with the sexy thing, but it’s a toy so why are we sexualizing dolls?

I suppose the moms were right in a way? Because aren’t bratz dolls supposed to be 16/17? But as a little girl growing up us kids don’t notice these things lol so why does it matter?,for me bratz is literally where I got my fashion from though I can’t lie lol (17 yo f) butttt bratz outfits and there style and characters is literally all part of fashion brands and I always thought it cool how they were dressed same as barbie although the 2 had a sort of rivalry both were amazing doll brands same for everafterhigh,monsterhigh,Lalaloopsy,RainbowHigh,Myscene,Enchantimals,Pollypocket & many more!

So the tree change brand is the reason our dolls have gotten so much more uglier? Gosh I hate people

If Bratz were dominating they would sell outside of US 🙄

I'm having a hard time finding the 'alexiakemi' credited in the video. I tried to reverse search the images shared here, but I only found reposts! If anyone can help I would be really grateful!!

Interesting
