If you haven't heard, Mattel finally won their legal battle with MGA, the makers of the cute and sassy Bratz dolls. Apparently, the creator thought of the dolls while he was still working for Mattel. Once he left Mattel, he started the Bratz.
Suddenly the Bratz took off, surpassing Barbie and other dolls. When Barbie was reduced to sloppy seconds, Mattel decided to try something new, by creating the My Scene dolls and then some urban Barbie-like dolls with fros and dredlocks, both were failures.
So after they realized they couldn't beat the Bratz, they went for plan B. They found out the creator of Bratz was still under their contract and sued him and MGA. Mattel won and now MGA can't make any Bratz dolls after the holidays. Such a bitchy thing to do, Barbie.
