Hooray! The end of Bratz

Yesterday a federal judge banned MGA from making and selling it's highly successful Bratz dolls!!!!

Mattel sued MGA because the Bratz dolls creator, Carter Bryant, was working at Mattel when he came up with the concept for the dolls.

In August, a California jury awarded Mattel $40 million. Mattel was originally asking for over $2 billion. The jury also later awarded Mattel $10 million for copyright infringement and $90 million for breach of contract.

After yesterday's ruling to ban Bratz dolls, Mattel attorney Michael Zeller said "It's a pretty sweeping victory. They have no right to use Bratz for any goods or services at all."

Luckily for MGA and Bratz fans everywhere, the judge did allow MGA to wait until the holiday season ends to remove the toys from their store shelves.

Woohoo! Bye bye skanky big head freak dolls!
*shudders at the thought of them*

Oh thank goodness...here is hoping there is nothing similar out in the near future!

lol does this mean they'll sell them off cheap? or just take them off the shelves.    they'll probably sendout messages to sell off as much stock as possible before they are withdrawn.

Yay!! I'm not a fan of them and my 5year old is showing great interest in them, eekkk
I'm sure though that someone will bring out a version of the Bratz though as competition for the Barbie??

No, haven't seen the myscene barbies, I think I will (try) to be steering my daughter away lol

I am so relieved about that. My SIL loves them and has two boys so now that I have a girl I was shuddering at the thought of her buying my daughter those horrid ugly skanky dolls. Yay!!!

one word......skanky.

At least Barbie (even with the big boobs) can come with some classy outfits.
So glad my girls will never know the world of brats.....although something equally as disturbing is bound to come along.

Oh YAY......my almost 5yo thinks they are cool as well.
