The goal of the doll line is to reflect the latest trends in fashion and appeal to the Tween market. They are created in both sexes, "Bratz Boys" having followed Bratz "girls" shortly after the girl dolls entered the toy market.

They are characterized by an oversized head with large eyes and lips, a small body and shoes that snap on and off. The original 4 characters were Yasmin (based on CEO Isaac Larian's own daughter, Jasmin), Jade, Sasha and Cloe. Over the course of the lines that followed, Meygan (who "moved away" for a while and then came back), Dana, Fianna, Nevra, "Twiins" Roxxi and Phoebe and Tiana have joined the "Bratz Pack". Characters Kumi and May Lin were only produced once, as special collector dolls in kimonos (Tiana was also produced wearing a kimono).
