Bratz is back

Now that a federal appeals court has thrown out Mattel's claim that it was entitled to the Bratz franchise, Van Nuys-based MGA Entertainment will begin distributing a somewhat tamer line of the dolls starting next month. From AP:

The new Bratz have less makeup and more ample clothing and are more flexible than earlier versions, said MGA CEO Isaac Larian. They have been in development since December, when the appeals court put on hold the order for MGA to hand over the trademark to Mattel.
