Why am I the last person to know things like this exist? WRY?
Anyway, people are all in a bustle about those Bratzillaz/MH Hybrids that mizz-mo-check-ma-flo was kind enough to tell me about :D.
As a result, I’ve been combing over that site checking things out because: Bodies. Always need bodies. Eff you, Mattel, for not releasing torsos with everything. I’d gladly throw my money at you (and did) for more.
Before you get all excited and go nuts, though, please be aware of the following:
None of these are officially licensed dolls. They’re the same kind of thing you’d find in that off beat toy section of your Dollar General. Also, while AliExpress.com holds your payment until receipt of your item is confirmed, you should realistically consider that money gone when you get your items. They only accept credit or debit cards, so there’s no real protection other than their ‘guarantee.’ There’s very little chance of a refund or communication from the seller. If for some reason you don’t get your item within 29 days, though, you will be refunded. Check feedback, see what other people say, try to find someone with a high score. It won’t always save you, but at least it’s a better chance.
Since I’ve basically become obsessed with this, here’s a rundown of what I’ve found out from scouring feedback and reviews.
First, you have this type of clone hybrid:
They’re Bratzillaz heads on Monster High bodies with… Barbie feet? This is actually pretty neat to me, because Barbie (and other dolls with similar foot styles) has a much more varied footwear wardrobe. Their eyes look to be ‘cast offs’ from the factory, which means they’re still Bratzillaz quality eyes, they’re just not in an officially licensed Bratzillaz doll (kind of like factory Blythes). The same is probably true for the little accessories such as the hairbrushes. The outfits are typical ‘cheap doll’ fashions that aren’t very detailed or well sewn. Their hair, on the other hand, is rooted quite nicely.
Follow the cut for more clone and castoff madness!
Bless you, kind soul, for your research u_u
Funny how the Bratzillaz look NOTHING like the art, lol
