I can't say I'm unhappy about this. I've never liked Bratz, and it's not just brand loyalty either. People may complain about Barbie's physical structure and how it sets unrealistic standards for girls, but she's got way more going for her than Bratz, and it's all about focus.

See with Bratz, the entire focus is superficial, not just the way she looks, but her whole theme. It's all about shopping, fashion, and well..shopping. What you wear, how you look, thats all that Bratz has and it's all that Bratz wants.

With Barbie, there's a much wider focus. Just think what kinds of things Barbie has been over the last few decades. Barbie has been a Doctor, a Zoo Keeper, a Flight Attendant, a Race Car Driver, and a Ranch Owner. Barbie has worked at McDonalds, Gotten Married, had Kids, and been a Veterinarian. She's been a Fashion Model yes. But she's also been a Chef, an Artist, and an Actress. I'm pretty sure she's even been a Life Guard.

And Bratz....Bratz likes to go shopping and spend money on clothes.

And this is why if and when I ever have a daughter, I will not be buying Bratz. No...I'll be buying her Race Car driver barbie. xD
