Mowalola drew inspiration from past Bratz collections such as the Pretty N' Punk ™ and Tokyo A Go-Go™ collections.
Those critiques might take a lot of words to describe, but they don't overwhelm Felicia's good attributes. All in all, I think taking her out of the box was an excellent choice to showcase her greatness, and she feels just as much as a museum piece out of box as she looks like one in box. Do you remember how I began this review by showing you several dolls that I was reluctant to de-box? Some may be wondering what Jade’s hair looks like when it’s taken down, but I will not be taking it down.
Felicia's drip isn't really my style, but I can appreciate how clear and novel of an aesthetic it is. Because it's not as rigid as a plastic pin, it can be fiddly to get it inserted into the zipper pull and the bottom stop.
I don't think of Bratz dolls as being especially well articulated, so I didn't really have high hopes for Felicia's body design.At first I thought that her head could only spin, which would have been disappointing, but the joint was just stiff at first. The plastic shell also features the character artwork placed on the opposite side of the doll in the box, as well as the Bratz and Mowalola logos at the bottom; the character artwork and logos are also featured on the sides of each box.
The Bratz team at MGA Entertainment was kind enough to send both Mowalola dolls to me and I’ve been dying to share my thoughts about this major collab! I've spent the last week or two reflecting on my year and trying to decide how to get 2023 off to a good start. The fashions on the Mowalola dolls are incredibly fun and create new quality standards for the Bratz brand. The extremely bright color combinations and unusual style (both in clothing and face paint) didn't really speak to me at first.Growing up as a tomboy in Lagos, Nigeria, I have always been fascinated by Bratz dolls with their extreme beauty, looks, and out-of-this-world-fashion," adds Creative Director Mowalola Ogunlesi. Mowalola is recognized for bold, creative looks that focus on diversity and embracing individuality without rules, a sentiment that is shared by Bratz and MGA Entertainment at large,” said Isaac Larian, CEO and Founder of MGA Entertainment in a press release. Bratz has teamed up with London-based label Mowalola on an all-new collection of haute fashion dolls. I want to see what this iconic brand has to offer these days (and perhaps take a look at some older releases, too). The MOWALOLA team was inspired to create the dolls by some of their favourite Bratz lines from the previous collections, such as Tokyo A Go-Go, Pretty 'N' Punk, Treasures, and Live in Concert.
Filtering its subjects through a lens of futuristic, neo-psychedelia, Mowalola deconstructs maximalist glam throughout its cohesive display of ready-to-wear and cross-cultural influences.While the Cult Gaia dolls came out back in October (review coming soon), the recently released Mowalola dolls have had Bratz fans brimming with excitement as the UK-based designer brings an edgy flair to two fan favorites characters: Jade and Felicia! I've owned Bratz dolls with better leg articulation than Felicia's, though, and wish MGA had opted for rotating hinge knee joints. BTW, The reason for the salamander theme is because Felicia is nicknamed Glam Gecko, it's great to see it finally expressed and implemented in one of her dolls. Mowalola Ogunlesi is a young fashion designer whose inspiration comes from Nigeria (where she was born) and London (where she lives now). Bratz is known for using interesting geometric silhouettes with their packaging and the Mowalola collection is a testament to that.
