Most fans were negative towards the new webisodes. Mattel later rebooted the web series, but with a new animation style and character designs. Parents found the line to be too inappropriate for children, with some even comparing them to the infamous Growing Up Skipper. The doll’s gimmick is that it had a key in the back of the doll that not only made the doll grow taller, but made the doll grow breasts. But they reintroduced her with black hair instead of blonde hair.Īnother controversial line Mattel released was the Growing Up Glam line. Mattel replaced Nolee with previous character Delancey. She was introduced in the Fab Faces line. The line introduced a new face screening that had the dolls with more detailed makeup and front-gazing eyes.īarbie was later discontinued as a character and was later replaced with another blonde doll called Kennedy. Most parents complained that the dolls were considered “too racy” for children. The brand caused more controversy when Mattel introduced the “My Bling Bling” line. Mattel even produced a Lindsay Lohan doll to promote the film. The film also featured Lindsay Lohan as herself. The first direct-to-DVD film to be released apart from the dolls was “My Scene Goes Hollywood”. The MGA toy makers sought 1 billion dollars in damages testifying that Mattel violated antitrust laws. MGA developed the first-generation fashion dolls while obscuring Bryant’s involvement. The suit further accuses Mattel of “engaging in acts of unfair competition and intellectual property infringement intended to damage its market share, confuse consumers and trade on the company’s goodwill.” Mattel had previously sued MGA Entertainment, alleging that Bratz creator Carter Bryant was working for Mattel when he developed the idea for Bratz in 1999, and had taken the idea to MGA secretly. The line garnered controversy, when on April 13, 2005, MGA Entertainment filed a lawsuit against Mattel, alleging duplication of its Bratz dolls, their multi-ethnic looks, fashions and packaging. And then another direct-to-DVD film was released called “Masquerade Madness” which was sold with the Masquerade Madness line. The brand then introduced Kenzie in 2004 in the “Getting Ready” line. The line then spawned a direct-to-DVD film called “Jammin’ In Jamaica” in 2003, the film was sold with the Jammin’ In Jamaica dolls. Delancey and Ellis premiered in the “Hanging Out” line, which debuted in late 2003. Mattel made a web series based on the line and also released a CD-ROM Game. More dolls were eventually added to the series, starting with Nolee, Bryant, River, and Hudson who were all introduced in the “Spring Break” line. The line became very popular when they launched. The first line was released in 2002, and each doll came with 2 outfits and a stand. The dolls were made to appeal to the tween market and were made to compete with MGA Entertainment’s Bratz. The line originally consisted of 3 dolls named Barbie, Chelsea and Madison (also known as Westley in other countries) who were portrayed as being from New York. My Scene were a line of fashion dolls released by Mattel in 2002. ![]()
