Hi. What an amazing collection! Im from india and its worse here. We recently only had moxie girlz on the shelf. No bratz since 2004 and sadly i didnt buy them then. Where do u buy your dolls from now?

Namaste! Sorry for not replying sooner.

There are not even Moxie Girlz here, I think few Japanese people know about Moxie, less than Bratz.

I buy my dolls via eBay mostly, the recent appreciation of the yen must be benefit only for it. :P

@starwinx77 Thank you!! :)

Wow! This is really cool! I've seen your pictures on flickr as well :D

I was wondering if you could tell me whether Bratz are still sold in Japan or not? From what I've heard, they haven't been sold there since around 2006. Also, do you know anything about "Coooool TV"? (The old Bratz stop-motion TV series that ran only in Japan) Thanks :) And congratz on the amazing collection and getting your own exhibition featuring them!

@alexbabs12345

Wow hello, thank you for your comment and attention on Flickr too!

No, no Bratz have been sold in Japan since about 2003 or 2004, I suppose the last line which was officially released (by ex-Takara) in Japan was, Formal Funk or Wintertime Wonderland.

Therefore Japanese Bratz fans (not so many, though...) have to manage to get them via eBay or other ways from overseas.

@theaishiteru Thank you so much for answering my questions! I'm surprised the Bratz weren't there longer, I guess sales were low? That's too bad, Takara did some great things for them in 2003 (2 CD singles/music videos, and a TV program! That took American MGA like 4 years to do!) CoooolTV sounds interesting. I wish there were some clips online. I'd love to see an episode! Thanks for adding me on flickr too :D Hope to see more of your collection soon!

As for COOOL TV, I think I watched a few times then (around 2003 too), it was 5-minute program (including commercials, so the net length was 2-3 minutes I guess) on every Thursday, Bratz girls chatting about "cool" or "not-cool". The official site may convey atmosphere a bit. (You Tube doesn't allow me to paste the link!! :( )

Thanks for congrats, I hope I can also exhibit the rest of my girls who stayed at home while the exhibition someday. :)

@makeupmoron Yes!! I've just got her a couple of days ago, about at $50 from a store in Japan. ;)

Your dolls are so beautiful. You have to enter them to Miss Doll World contests because they deserve to be seen by doll lovers all over the world.
