UPDATE: I have been updating the thread to the best of my ability but certainly not the OP so I recommend just going to the last page of this thread any time you want to check up on new updates.
Mobile users: Just so you know there are 4 pages in this thread so make sure to remember to go to the next page to see the latest comments and updates.
This thread is a timeline and will be used for any news on the 20th Anniversary Bratz (Bratz 2021)!
For this timeline, I used @lookinbratz's & added a few more things missing, tried to organize it by highlighting, (and also translated it in Spanish & Russian as seen above).
Thank you so much lookinbratz for giving me permission! You can see his original timeline that he worked on here!: https://www.lookinbratz.com/blog/bratz-2021-news

-The 2018 Bratz Collector line had issues Bratz didn't have budget.
-MGA is making a lot of money L.O.L. Surprise! but part of that money is not for Bratz, meaning Bratz doesn't have their own money like L.O.L Surprise!
-MGA has plans for Bratz in 2021.
-MGA lost most of the Bratz archive/history through time and because they changed offices.
-The hype of the 2000s is crucial for a Bratz comeback so if MGA waits more time and doesn't take advantage of the hype then the brand might fail.
