How to Collect Bratz Dolls

With their sultry eyes, pouty lips and amazing clothes, Bratz dolls have seduced millions of girls around the globe. Dressing these toy fashionistas is so much fun--and collecting them is even more of a treat. To choose the right Bratz dolls, though, you need more than just access to a toy store and a parent's credit card. Knowing which ones to buy is key to building a great collection.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Start by buying the ones you love the most. While there are strategies for amassing a great Bratz doll collection, you have to start first with your heart. Even if a Bratz doll is considered valuable or coveted, if you like another one better, buy it first. This is your collection to enjoy, so what you like the best is most important.

2. Try to obtain at least one doll from each line of Bratz dolls. There are Bratz, Lil' Angelz, Bratz Babyz, Bratz Kidz and Itsy Bitsy Bratz.

3. Select favorite Bratz dolls from each line to build a Bratz doll collection your friends will envy. Nighty-Night, Rock Angelz, Princess and Campfire dolls have a big fan base. There's less demand for the Live In Concert dolls, but if there's one you love, add it to your collection.

4. Keep Bratz dolls sealed in their original packaging if you're collecting the dolls to sell later on, when their value presumably has increased. Bratz dolls that have been played with or even simply inspected outside of the box will have considerably lower resale value than dolls kept in pristine condition.

5. Sell Bratz dolls you don't want any longer online if you can't return them to the store. eBay.com and your local Craigslist.com are good places to get decent money for Bratz dolls, especially if they are new in original packaging. Or trade Bratz dolls with your friends to build the perfect collection.
