Do they even look at the creepy things?</B><BR/><BR/>I have bought my daughter some toys out of the Bratz line, mostly the Ponyz, which she seems to like a lot more than My Little Pony. Elizabeth likes the Bratz Babyz dolls (the smaller size, not the larger one depicted in the original post) because they are poseable like action figures in a way that most other baby dolls are not. For dolls depicting adults she generally leans toward Barbie (particularly the Dancing Princess subline) and the Disney Princesses.<BR/><BR/>I'm not particularly enamored of any of these toys, as the stereotype enforcement is high for almost all of them. (Her Photographer Barbie is a notable exception.) But since Elizabeth also likes Power Rangers, Transformers, and Star Wars toys, I feel like the breadth of her choice of play outweighs any concerns I have regarding the qualities of any one toyline. Though I try to steer her clear of the Bratz line when I can.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-21464841175237198972007-08-06T15:42:00.000-04:002007-08-06T15:42:00.000-04:00So, so creeeepy.So, so creeeepy.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-11680633038147524152007-08-06T14:27:00.000-04:002007-08-06T14:27:00.000-04:00Will you hold it against me if I develop a sudden,...Will you hold it against me if I develop a sudden, urgent need for a barf bag? *feels ill*Diana Kingston-Gabaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606122690934557406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-3304720129405559192007-08-06T12:51:00.000-04:002007-08-06T12:51:00.000-04:00...
