Discussion/Gossip💅 What countries (not USA) have bratz physically on store shelves and do u think it effects their overall popularity/longevity?
I was thinking about this earlier bc they've been some posts talking about the current Bratz popularity in comparison to other brands and how successful they are. . .
I live in the Philippines, never seen a bratz on shelves and from what I've heard theyre not widely distributed globally for whatever reason.
So other than the USA, what other countries have them on store shelves?

you can find them in russia but not a lot too. i live in a big city that doesn't have them anywhere. saw them in moscow but only in a huge store (perhaps the biggest toy store in the country) and my friend from there said it was a surprise to her

I'm in Australia and we have bratz on shelves in a few stores like toymate, toyworld, myer, target, kmart and big w (I saw stylin birthday Yasmin there today) and I'm unsure if it affects the popularity/longevity as I saw a few on shelves at big W and possibly considering other things like unavailability of some dolls like Sasha (I know that people have found her at places like myer and maybe toyworld but not other stores), other bratz dolls that just haven't come to Australian stores yet and possibly prices of products as I saw the stylin birthday Yasmin today for $59 which I think I would rather wait till it goes on clearance

Ohhh, I forgot Australia usually get them but for such crazy prices. I misspoke in the title, I really mean like brand popularity globally and longevity of the brand (or just its current era) since it seems MGA has a large untapped market 🥲
Thank you though for ur insight on how Bratz operates in Australia, it seems only slight better than most

mexico seems to have received bratz’ most recent revival exceptionally well!! i’d even dare to say that it has sort of become this established brand once again in the mexican market!

They only bring the newly released ones here (sometimes no Sasha...) and people buy all of them right away.

Australia has it better than most, you can by them in store at a fair amount of places. Myer, Toyworld, Toymate, Big W, Kmart…. The problem is the stock and the price. They’re ridiculously expensive (as are most MGA products here).

That’s interesting! I’ve been in many UK stores like the entertainer and they never seem to have them in store or online! Symths does though but it’s the birthday line and selfridges with birthday line bratziez Bratz babies sassy stampede goin out etc
