Bratz 2015 Comeback: Yay or Nay?

Since it was announced that the Bratz will have another comeback in 2015, I've noticed there hasn't been much news yet. Some fans were quite displeased, while others were ecstatic. 

I am a bit neutral about it to be honest. I'm glad that MGAE is going to use this year to improve the state of Bratz, but I'm not going to get my hopes high especially with what happened in 2010. I remember everyone was expecting nylon hair, good quality clothes, better themes for lines, etc. and when they were released most people's reactions were literally:



And I know there is a great chance this will continue happening even after the 2015 comeback, but what is up with the fact that when the promo pics/prototypes are released they look completely different than the actual dolls? Yes, I know they're are supposed look different because after all they are prototypes, but sometimes whenever I see a picture of one my heart aches because if only they ended up looking like that...



                                    prototype                                                                                                                              actual release



Also one more thing, why is it in some certain lines MGAE decide Sasha is not worthy enough to be in them? And I really miss it when Bratz used to come with an extra outfit instead of those 'For You!' cheap gimmick things. I'm going to stop now before this turns into a rant...

Here are some opinions of other fans when they first heard about the 2015 comeback:

"I personally think the Bratz are going to fail in 2015. Don't get me wrong, I love Bratz. They were my first doll passion. However, people have begun to forget about them. They made their first comeback in 2010 but it wasn't like, "Bratz are back!" it was more like, "hey, there are new Bratz on the shelves." I was excited at first when they came back, but then realized the quality of the dolls have gone down. The dolls themselves tended to be low quality and they were rather unattractive. I mean, the 2011 Funk n Glow dolls all looked pretty much identical! Not to mention the prototypes tended to look amazing, but the actual dolls were pretty lame. Why put awesome prototypes on the back of the boxes only to give us less impressive dolls (I'm looking at you Masquerade dolls)?These past 4 years have not been good for Bratz. If they can step up the quality and creativity they might have a chance. (...) I guess we'll see if they blow us away or leave us less than impressed (..)" 

"Personally I'm so glad the bratz decided to take a year off and totslly revamp their brand ! It's the kind of thing they need now lol ! I'm really routing for them to come back with a fresh,fierce,edgy,KICK ASS look like they had in 2007 - 2008 they were the best bratz years I think.I really hope the bratz decide to come back with the older bodies and faces ! I just don't feel like they have the same "spunk" they had back then ! And they need to reintroduce classic characters back such as Dana,Nevada etc !"

"They do need a break but i haven't bought anything since 2012 LOL! they were s**t befor so i hope in 2015 they are good."

What is your opinion on the 2015 comeback? Is it a good decision or will it be a complete flop?
