Mattel's Monster High

[Meule]

Well, it has the huge noggin on the skinny body ala Bratz, so I think Bratz like would be fair.

Exactly. The body and size may be different, but the head sculpts are nearly identical

can't help but see Bratz plus goth/living dead dolls myself

Bratz are shorter and squat in build with extremely oversized heads. They are also criticised (and probably fairly) for being overly sexualized for the age group they are marketed to.

The Monster High dolls are in a different style. Taller than Bratz and shorter than My Scene with a different body style and articulation. The heads are cartoonish in style but not oversized to the extreme like Bratz. The also lack the very exaggerated lips of the Bratz dolls.

I'm beginning to think anytime a doll has a stylized look they will unfortunately be compared to Bratz. Winx , Disney Fairies and W.i.t.c.h. dolls also have large stylized heads and also look nothing like Bratz.

I dunno mate. Them monsters are wearing some pretty high and hiked up skirts. I think the lagoon girl has fishnets on.

Just about any small headed fashion doll is compared to or called a barbie as Mattel hit a style button and grabbed a big bunch of market share first. Calling big noggin dolls Bratzlike is probably a bit of a compliment really. They did make a pretty big impact in dolly world.

I'm sorta glad my daughters are past the stage/age of wanting these...we don't need anymore Barbies

Um yeah, I predict I'll tripping over these in the near future. It's like they tailor made this for my kid.

I thought they were an extension of My Scene at first.

I think these are going to have a lot of cross over appeal. I think not only are kids really going to dig them, but doll and monster collectors too.
