Yeah exactly. It's like the people who whine about the line haven't even looked at the actual packages or the site.
Cleo is the only character in that line who behaves remotely like a Bratz character, and she's the butt monkey in the series. She's also the most "human", which I think says a LOT (for being a mummy, I think she's only one in theme and not undead-ness- I haven't figured that one out yet. Or how her boyfriend is a Gorgon but she's not stone yet). It's pretty clear the creators are trying to make what amounts to the exact opposite of Bratz- be yourself and accept everyone, no matter how they look or who they are.
Honestly I think these are a lot more appealing to adults who probably wanted to do their Barbies up as zombies/werewolves/mummies as a little girl. I love that it works on both levels. I see a lot of nerd parents buying these to give their daughters, honestly.
