Not content simply to put their competitor out of business, Mattel is now seeking to impound and destroy all Bratz products.  Apparently, Barbie does NOT believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  This latest salvo in the war between the Barbie and Bratz camps seems like the official nail in the coffin for the Bratz, who still owe Barbie $100 million.

I am curious to see if, in some strange twist of fate, Bratz dolls become high-priced collectibles on eBay or the toy black market as a result of the soon-to-be excuted ban.  I am half tempted to buy one as a potential “investment”, but I don’t know if I can get past the fact that I really don’t like the Bratz’ “image.”

Should be interesting to see what happens, at any rate.

Looks like Canadians have had enough of the Bratz’ saucy attitudes and skimpy attire.  Parents and psychologists convinced Scholastic Inc. to stop selling Bratz related books and merchandise as of this school year.  This comes as terrible news for the Bratz, who are already in debt up to their eyeballs thanks to Barbie’s legal maneuvering earlier this summer.
