October 31: The first in-box picture of the Alwayz Bratz dolls is revealed via an MGA employee’s LinkedIn profile. Congratulations to Mowalola and their team for creating such brilliant dolls! A huge congrats to @falsebratz for being tapped to create custom dolls for the Bratz x Mowalola promotional shoots, as well as @dramatic.doll for having their artwork featured in the shoots. Thank you so much to MGA Entertainment for sending the Cult Gaia dolls, as well as putting out another fabulous Bratz collection!

October 1: The Bratz x Kylie Day and Night dolls officially release. Jasmin Larian posts a behind-the-scenes image of Kylie visiting MGA’s headquarters and the Bratz office space. The Bratz World campaign at Walmart officially begins. The Bratz x Cult Gaia dolls are genuinely some of the most luxe-feeling Bratz dolls I have experienced thus far. While Mowalola brought an edgy-luxe feeling to the brand, the Cult Gaia dolls bring a more elegant-luxe feeling that aligns well with the designer brand.May 5: The first sneak peek of Series 3 Tiana is revealed via a StyleCaster article in collaboration with Bratz. Shoutout to my friends Emil and Frank for taking pictures of the 2005 PNP dolls for this article—thank you so much! October 8: Kylie Jenner posts a behind-the-scenes video of her visiting MGA’s headquarters to YouTube. TL;DR: Do not expect any upcoming Bratz or MGA releases to use saran hair. Nylon is the new standard. After leaving Central Saint Martins, Ogunlesi applied to the Fashion East mentorship and support programme. Her 2019 London Fashion Week debut took place on Fashion East's stage. [1]

Just like the face application method section, feel free to skip this portion if you’ve already read my explanations on the differences between Bratz hair types! Nylon hair appears to be a new standard for the Bratz brand, as is the case for most MGA doll brands since 2019, which is something I fully support. For context on some of the different hair types used on Bratz, nylon has often been confused with polypropylene, which is a hair fiber that was used in a majority of lines between 2008-2013 and is known for being hard to manage and prone to degrading over time, because of a name mix-up over a decade ago. Saran—which has been used on most Bratz released between 2001-2007, 2015-2018, and on most of the Bratz 20 Yearz Special Edition dolls (except for some later variants which use nylon)—is a great hair fiber that has always satisfied collectors, though it is prone to yellowing and degrading over time. Nylon is another premium hair type that can be easily restyled with heated hair tools and is less likely to degrade over time like saran and polypropylene can do. Saran hair has become more difficult to source (companies like Mattel have their own saran supply, which is how they get to use it), so nylon provides a way for consumers to have nice doll hair without resorting to using low-grade polypropylene. Nylon also tends to feel really nice and oftentimes better than saran, and is known to last decades without degrading. This doll was originally slated for a January 2024 release, then changed to December 2023. However, the doll was officially released in November 2023. Felicia has the darkest skin out of all of the Bratz dolls. For this reason her dolls tend to be more and sold at a higher cost by collectors than other dolls. In October 2020, Ogunlesi was named by Elle as one of "10 Trailblazing Women Changing The Future You Need To Know", the others being: Tobi Kyeremateng, Ngozi Onwurah, Simi Lindgren, Balanda Atis, Magdalene Abraha, Koffee, Holly Fischer, Celeste and Margaret Busby.

May 13: Bratz posts an animated image of the core four in their television series outfits, with the date 8/31/23 on it—this may be possibly teasing something that will be released on August 31. Thank you so much to MGA Entertainment not only for sending the Mowalola dolls, but also for putting more faith and love into the brand that put their company on the spot.

In designing the collector dolls, Mowalola Ogunlesi, Creative Director and Founder of Mowalola, aimed to break subcultures and boundaries by pushing for “firsts” in the doll space, resulting in dolls with distinct graphic lines, bold brows, mismatched eyes, horned hair, and unique features.

I want to give a huge conBratzulations to Stephen Sumner for taking on the task of designing a brand-new Sasha for this line! In my opinion, he is a legend in the doll world and has designed for some of my favorite doll lines from the past twenty years—including the Hottiez line, which he co-created! I’ve always wanted to see Stephen work on the Bratz brand since he started working at MGA, so I’m happy to see him stepping into that territory. I also think it is a HUGE deal that MGA and the Bratz team decided to include Sasha in this line, especially because they started from scratch with her and used no source material. Some people can disagree, but I can happily say that Sasha’s design is a perfect addition to this collection and she fits in perfectly while standing out in the way only Sasha can. Are you wondering what head mold and face application is used on the Pretty ‘N’ Punk dolls? The Pretty ‘N’ Punk dolls use the original 2001 head mold (with the exception of Eitan who uses the 2003 Boyz head) and spray method for their face application. The characters for this collection will be Dana, Fianna, Felicia, Tiana, and Koby. This collection will consist of reproductions of Funk ‘N’ Glow (Second Edition) Dana, Funk Out! Fianna, Campfire Felicia, Welcome To Fabulous Tiana, and Nu-Cool Koby.There has been no indication that a new Bratz movie will be coming out. In September 2023, Bratz released a new single titled “We’re The Bratz”—the theme song of their Alwayz Bratz series, which can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. Reimagining two signature Bratz Collector dolls, the collection sees fan favourites, Felicia and Jade, upgrade their looks with exclusive collaboration pieces. According to the brand in a statement, the limited-edition dolls aim to represent the youthful spirit of both brands and fall in line with Bratz’s foray into the world of fashion. You can find a placement guide for the smaller box display here. I do not have a placement guide for the larger/longer box display.
