Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia: What We Know So Far! (UPDATED 12/01/21)

Hey Angelz!

If you follow Lookin’ Bratz on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook (and if you aren’t, perhaps it’s time to reconsider), then you know that the rumored Bratz Holiday Felicia is officially coming out soon! While details are scarce right now, I have compiled all the available information into this article. Keep reading if you want to learn more about the upcoming Bratz Holiday Felicia release!

WHO IS FELICIA?

If you’re a casual Bratz fan and don’t know many of the secondary characters, Felicia is a character introduced in 2005 in the Campfire collection. Felicia was later featured in the Sweet Dreamz Pajama Party collection (both as a doll and styling head) and as a Big Babyz in 2006, and has not been produced since. Attempts to produce Felicia in other collections, such as the regular Babyz line (I was lucky enough to score a factory sample of this doll earlier this year, which you can check out here) and a Hello My Name Is follow-up in 2016, yet never made it to production. Because of how seldom Felicia was featured in the Bratz lineup, she has become sought after by many collectors. Felicia has the darkest skintone in the Bratz doll lineup, and is the only character in the brand to have it. The Bratz social media channels have increasingly featured Felicia in their posts since their twentieth anniversary comeback, even making her the host of their TikTok series Talking Bratz, so this release is a pleasant surprise for most fans waiting for her to come back in doll form. The release of the upcoming Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll is Felicia’s first appearance in fifteen years and will make Bratztory as the brand’s first Black Holiday doll. You can read more about Felicia on her character profile in Stilesville Central.

WHAT DOES FELICIA LOOK LIKE?

Pictures of the new Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll were revealed this past Monday when stock pictures were posted on the Amazon UK website. Check out the gallery to see all the pics (click on an image to see it in gallery view)!

WHAT DOES FELICIA COME WITH?

Per the photos above, the Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll comes with a two-piece gown, faux-fur shawl, silver strappy heels, a doll-sized bracelet, doll-sized earrings, a brocade purse, and a human-sized bracelet made in collaboration with Jasmin Larian’s fashion brand Cult Gaia. In case you don’t know who Jasmin Larian is, she is MGA Entertainment CEO Isaac Larian’s daughter, the inspiration behind Yasmin, a fashion designer, and director of the Bratz brand! The Cult Gaia bracelet features the iconic Funkhouse typeface to spell out “Bratz”, as well as a “Cult Gaia” and “20 Yearz” charm, on a gold chain. Another feature to note is that Felicia has an articulated body (meaning her arm joints are fully poseable) and reuses the Collector body mold from 2018, and is the first doll in the brand to have an articulated body in her skintone.

WILL THE BRACELET FIT ADULTS AND WHAT IS IT MADE OF?

At this time, it is unknown who the bracelet will fit and what material it is made of. However, the recommended age on the box is listed as “14+” and the hand featured in the stock photo appears to be an adult hand, so it may be safe to assume the bracelet is intended for adults. Also, Cult Gaia is a luxury fashion brand; thus, the bracelet is likely made of a durable material.

IS FELICIA A RE-RELEASE?

No, the Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll is the first non-reproduction doll released as part of the brand’s twentieth anniversary. The release was originally intended to be a re-release of Holiday Trinity from 2006, but a listing later confirmed that the doll had been changed to Felicia. Though Felicia is the first non-reproduction doll from this era, her gown is a recolored and modified version of Trinity’s pink gown. Additionally, the artwork featured on Felicia’s packaging is based on Trinity’s original artwork.

HOW MUCH WILL FELICIA COST?

The price for the Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll has not yet been confirmed. A Walmart listing has Felicia listed for $54.99 USD, but this is subject to change.

WHEN IS FELICIA BEING RELEASED?

As far as we know, there is no release date for the Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll. Because stock pictures of Felicia have already been published on Amazon and Walmart’s websites, it is safe to assume that Felicia will be available soon. According to a MGA Customer Care representative, Felicia is expected to arrive in Amazon’s warehouses “by the end of November”. Keep your eyes peeled to the official Bratz social media channels to see what details they provide once they officially announce Felicia’s release.

WHERE CAN FELICIA BE PURCHASED?

So far, Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia has only been listed on Amazon and Walmart’s websites. She is not available to purchase or pre-order yet. Some people have managed to pre-order her on Amazon because the function was made available too early for a short amount of time. She will be available to order and possibly available to pre-order once MGA and Bratz have officially announced her release. Several Canadian fans have stated being able to pre-order Felicia from GameStop in Canada, so perhaps Canadian fans should keep an eye out there for Felicia or call up their local GameStop to see if they can order her.

WILL FELICIA BE AVAILABLE INTERNATIONALLY?

Like the Bratz 20 Yearz Special Edition release earlier this year, the Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia doll will likely be available on Amazon internationally (meaning outside of the United States). Whether or not other retailers will receive Felicia is unknown. For a list of international retailers that Bratz are typically sold in, click here. You can also contact MGA Entertainment’s international offices here to find out if Felicia will be sold at retailers in your country!

ARE THERE LINKS FOR FELICIA?

Here are the links that have been found for Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia:

IS FELICIA LIMITED EDITION OR EXCLUSIVE?

The description for Bratz Holiday 20 Yearz Special Edition Felicia is described to be “limited edition”. How many Felicia dolls that are being produced remains a question, but a MGA Customer Care representative has stated that Amazon will receive several shipments of her. Felicia does not appear to be exclusive to any retailer as her listing has been found on Amazon and Walmart’s website as well as Target’s inventory system, but this is subject to change.

WHAT ABOUT QUALITY CONTROL?

Because of face alignment issues with the Bratz 20 Yearz Special Edition and Bratz Rock Angelz 20 Yearz Special Edition dolls, fans have been skeptical about the quality control of upcoming Bratz releases. As far as we know, based on the stock pictures, Felicia does not have as many flaws compared to some of the other Bratz dolls released this year. Minor issues are bound to occur, but only time will tell if Felicia will experience the same issues as her twentieth anniversary predecessors!

WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL AND ROCK ANGELZ DOLLS?

ARE MORE BRATZ DOLLS COMING OUT THIS YEAR?

Only time will tell if more Bratz dolls will be released this year. With Holiday Felicia on the way by the end of this month, there is still room to release more dolls. It should be noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted toy releases this year, so there may be delays in the Bratz release schedule. Some releases will likely be released in 2022, such as the reproduction of Sweetheart Meygan whose release date has been moved to March 2022 according to Amazon. A full list of expected upcoming dolls can be found here.

WHEN ARE YOU UPDATING THE LOOKIN’ BRATZ DATABASE?

This isn’t a question regarding Holiday Felicia, but I will be trying my best to update the Lookin’ Bratz database as soon as possible! The Bratz brand has released tons of products since the last update, and keeping track of those products along with pre-existing products that I have collected information on has been difficult. Please be patient if you are looking forward to an update!

This article will be updated with any new information that may come out. Stay tuned to LookinBratz.com for more news on the Girls with a Passion for Fashion, and make sure to check out Lookin’ Bratz on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok for more scorchin’ Bratz content and news!

UPDATE 11/30/21: There are no new updates on the release of Holiday Felicia. The only thing to note is that people currently receiving Holiday Felicia dolls pre-ordered her from GameStop in Canada. Hopefully this means that she will be widely available soon and MGA/Bratz will officially announce her release.

UPDATE 12/01/21: Felicia has been listed on Target.com. Check the “Are There Links for Felicia?” section of this article to get a link!
