The Bratz Toy Range came to my studio when Titan Magazines  required a special kind of toy photography when they created the 'Bratz Magazine' for MGA Toys USA .

I provided a six month's long photo shoot programme of supermation style images for the magazine covering seven issues .

In addition a special photostory production "Bratz's Treasures" was designed and created in supermation photography , but the presentation in the magazine did not happen .  

The magazine after several issues or so was taken off sale from the newstands a couple of months before the Photostory was due for release as a legal action against the toy product was launched by a competitor in the market place started in the courts .
