Analysis Of Bratz Dolls

1. Female Body Image A) Bratz dolls are a line of fashion dolls in the United States manufactured by MGA Entertainment. The price of the dolls ranges from $10-$20 depending on the size and style of doll that is being purchased. They also have additional accessories for the dolls for sale as well.
