More drama in the Bratz vs Barbie catfight!

A federal judge has apparently declared Bratz to be the property of Mattel and has therefore is the legal owner of the line and has the right to recall all unsold Bratz.

According to Toy News Online The court order, which represents a major victory for Mattel, says MGA may no longer manufacture, sell, advertise or license its core lineup of Bratz dolls or any other product with the Bratz name.

Both companies are due to meet in court in February and the ban will not begin before that date... dollies wait with baited breath (or would if they could breathe...

New cute little Barbie Petites... modern Kiddles?

So... Little Miss P and I were watching tv the other day when we happened across an ad for a new dolly. The Barbie Petite ( or Peek-a-boo petites) as they seem to be called in the US.

They actually appear pretty adorable, perhaps they have been taking hints from Petite Blythes and Pullips?

I couldn't find the actual ad but here's a couple of related videos and the relevant section of the Barbie website :)
