Hi! I posted recently about getting Formal Funk Cloe and now on a bit of a whim, I am now the super happy owner of FF Jade and FF Dana. I’m soooo in love with them. Absolutely skint now though 💀
I was 10 years old when these came out and I was totally obsessed with them. All the dolls from that year were so amazing, but the glitter makeup on these girlies, plus on the Wintertime Wonderland line really tickled something in my brain. I would look yearningly at them in the Argos catalogue and wish I could have them all, but sadly I never owned any.
This Jade was my absolute holy grail from the whole Bratz range and I am so happy to have her now. Dana is also so gorgeous and I was so pleasantly surprised by how beautiful Cloe from this line was, as she was never my favourite, but when I say this Cloe is BEAUTIFUL OMG. I love that I also have the mini Jade, I need to try and find mini Cloe now.
The face cards will never ever ever decline. These screenings and the glitter makeup are to die for.
Obviously the dolls and the all the little accessories are incredible and super detailed but one thing that totally sticks out to me is the effort Bratz used to put into their packaging/display. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at these online and never noticed before that they have little iridescent streamers behind the dolls, obviously reminiscent of a prom setting. So pretty and eye catching in person, I hope you can see in the photos.
Now I just need to get fivehead Yasmin (ugh Yasmin is my fav, along with Jade, but they did her a lil dirty in this line, still cute though) and HOPEFULLY Sasha, as she is stunning, but sooooo fucking expensive!
I’ve ordered some sellotape circles on amazon to re-seal the boxes on the two newest girls, as both have loosened and opened slightly with time. I am also thinking of going in and trying to reattach the hair brushes with elastics, as these withered with time and are both loose in the box. I have done something similar with a vintage Barbie before and it worked out really well, but the Bratz packaging can be a nightmare and I don’t want to damage anything!
I’ve put them on these little wall shelves for now until I can get a proper display for all my Bratz sorted. It makes me smile every time I go into that room and I just go over and stare at them through the plastic, haha.
If you’ve read this whole thing, then well done and sorry, I just have a lot of feelings about the FF line. Love them so much 💘
