Although I'm sad to see that they apparently cancelled the reproduction of the World Collector's Edition Tokyo Kumi doll). Jade has two pigtails in a half-up-half-down hairstyle alongside a yellow maxi dress with pleather stars and red platform heels. There is nothing else set to come out in Fall 2022, but Spring 2023 doll releases are just around the corner!

A year ago, many were disappointed by quality control and distribution issues with nearly every Bratz release. I do get more into this topic in my YouTube video about the dolls, but this collection—along with all the Fall 2022 dolls released from the brand—feels like a major step in the right direction for the Bratz brand. Felicia's drip isn't really my style, but I can appreciate how clear and novel of an aesthetic it is. Nearly every Bratz doll between 2001 and 2014, except for a select few, has a face screening that was painted using the “spray” method.Mowalola is recognized for bold, creative looks that focus on diversity and embracing individuality without rules, a sentiment that is shared by Bratz and MGA Entertainment at large,” said Isaac Larian, CEO and Founder of MGA Entertainment in a press release. In addition, she was posed very rigidly in her box, which didn't really allow any personality to shine through. In designing the collector dolls, Mowalola Ogunlesi, Creative Director and Founder of Mowalola, aimed to break subcultures and boundaries by pushing for “firsts” in the doll space, resulting in dolls with distinct graphic lines, bold brows, mismatched eyes, horned hair, and unique features.

I have purchased all of these dolls and toys with my own money so that I can express my own opinions.Mowalola drew inspiration from past Bratz collections such as the Pretty N' Punk ™ and Tokyo A Go-Go™ collections. Jade comes with two spiked hair accessories that wrap around her devil horn pigtails, which seem like they may be reused from or scaled-down versions of L. At first I thought that her head could only spin, which would have been disappointing, but the joint was just stiff at first. That's why I'm so excited to work with MGA and the Bratz team in designing and offering these dolls.
