3.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy - It's the Bad Marketing, I tell Ya! I Swear!, May 17, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bratz Secret Date - Meygan (Toy)

Okay, okay, calm down, all steaming-angry parents, and all furious kids. It's not the Apocalypse. In my OPINION, this is a great toy.

This toy would be a five-star rating - EXCEPT it had a BIG down side to it.

The down side of this toy?

The commercial for it (most girls see the commercial to get them convinced to buy the doll) is rather inappropriate. It shows whom I would judge to be a twelve-year-old girl getting a letter (why not a phone call? IN MY OPINION):D), then wandering off into some closet, where she changes from looking like a sweet little angel into some (...) wearing knee-high stilleto black boots, a tiny leather skirt, and a (...) leather jacket (Fascinating: what's going on in marketers' brilliantly dulled minds these days, hmmm?) And then she goes to answer the door for her mystery date. I do not believe that this ad was appropriate for the targeted audience (ages 6-10). Not only was the subject (or model) too (...), but there was a (...) voice singing in the background. And lots of (...) moans, like the singer was enjoying having (...). Another kid argued that people should have freedom of expression. I agree, but 'freedom of expression' is hard to define, and it should only go so far. In other words, I don't know why advertisers would have to slam something (...) down a little girl's throat, when the product they're trying to sell isn't even that (...)!

That's right. Rest assured, parents, the product is not at all like the twelve-year-old and her mystery date are in the commercial. That girl looks like a (...), as some of you have put it, but the toy dolls do not. Phew. Just an innocent little romantic night together. Makes you wonder about why the ads can't be that way.

There is no danger attatched to this toy. It's the ad we should have a bite to pick with. Advertising is media, and like it or not, media CAN (I hate this as well) manipulate a little girls's thinking, or anyone else's, for that matter! With the twelve-year-old in the commercial, I won't run too deep into this discussion, as you can draw your own conclusions on how the ad 'twists' a child's thinking. Oh, and by the way, that was a real girl in the commercial, not a doll. So how will a little girl link this to reality? Think about it.

Now, after giving you a big lecture on the ad, and effects of advertising, I'm going to tell you about the doll. I think that this is a very cute toy. Now, some close-minded parents complain about the concept of a romantic night together. I wonder, like Chloe, why those parents are not complaining about Cinderella, hmmm? Why? I know that commercial does not illustrate the 'romantic night together' issue as a point, but what about the doll? Cinderella is a harmless tale with the concept of a romantic night with a Prince Charming, and she is not harmful. Basically, the Bratz Secret Date line is only bringing the idea of true romance into the twentieth century. Bravo. (Clap your hands) Very nice, MGA. (I'm not a Bratz fan) For once, you came up with a theme better than the themes of 'fashion', 'flirting' (flirting and true romance are two different things), or (sigh) 'shopping'.

What do the dolls wear? They don't dress like that girl does in the commercial: they are very finely dressed with jackets and pants. Maybe Nevra's skirt is a bit short, but I'll rest neutrally on this one. The boys are dressed like any Prince Charming eager to please his princess would be. Nothing trashy, or hideous. Think about tuxedoes, and stuff that's very formal wear. The boy even comes with a sweet bouquet of flowers for the girl! Awhhh...you just gotta adore that. MGA must've known about the whole 'inappropriate clothing' stunt, and realized that such trashy stuff will not go well with a date as a theme. MGA even decided to go easy on the makeup here. Very good. Very good.

The accessories include the usual combs and makeup compacts, but now, we also have a bottle of champagne or vodka, a couple of cute little cups, and glasses, so you can act out romantic scenes at a cafe or restaurant. Very sweet.

These are great toys for older kids, and yes, I recommend them over the other Bratz lines (and THEIR awful themes, UGH). I don't have Jade yet, but I want her badly, and I'm thirteen! :-)

Now, if only we could get that ad problem off our backs. Then, maybe adults wouldn't hate this toy so much. Has that commercial stopped airing?

P. S. I bleeped out all the possible words that may be inappropriate to children to hear, or plain offensive, even to myself.

I love the Bratz "Secret Date" dolls..They all come with cool accessories and pretty apealing dates, but in my opinion, these dolls are for older girls, maybe 11+..I think they should change the age range for these dolls on Amazon, so that parents that have younger children know what the dolls really look like..I am twelve.
