ALL OF OUR DOLLS ARE PRICED ACCORDING TO RARITY, DISCONTINUANCE, CLOTHING, AND DEMAND. 

My Scene is an American series of fashion dolls created by Mattel in 2002. Mattel's Barbie character is one of the dolls in the My Scene line, and the My Scene dolls have slim bodies similar to earlier Barbie dolls, but with larger heads.   "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times"  described their features as "exaggerated lips and bulging, makeup-caked eyes."  My Scene Dolls were designed to appeal to the tween  market and compete with the FLAVA dolls.       

On April 13, 2005, Mattel's competing toy company, MGA Entertainment filed a lawsuit against My Scene, alleging duplication of its Bratz dolls, their multi-ethnic looks, fashions and packaging. The suit further accuses Mattel of "engaging in acts of unfair competition and intellectual property infringement intended to damage its market share, confuse consumers and trade on the company's goodwill.   

Mattel had previously sued MGA Entertainment, alleging that Bratz creator Carter Bryant was working for Mattel when he developed the idea for Bratz. El Segundo-based Mattel professed that the doll designer (Carter Bryant) developed the Bratz dolls while working for the Mattel company in 1999 and took the idea to MGA secretly.   

MGA developed the first-generation dolls of fashion while obscuring with Bryant’s involvement. The MGA toy makers sought 1 billion dollars in damages testifying that Mattel violated antitrust led on dispute over the Bratz dolls. Mattel Inc. won dismissal of an antitrust lawsuit by MGA Entertainment Inc., the toymaker that sought $1 billion in damages alleging Mattel violated antitrust laws in a dispute over Bratz dolls.  

U.S. District Court David Carter in Santa Ana, California dismissed MGA’s complaint. The judge had thrown out the case in October, saying MGA’s allegations should have been raised in previous litigation, and allowed the closely held company to file an amended complaint. This time, he didn’t grant leave to refile.  “MGA’s first amended complaint and opposition all but asks this court to reconsider its prior order dismissing the original complaint,” Carter said in his ruling.   A jury in April rejected Mattel’s claims that MGA had stolen the idea for its Bratz dolls and agreed with MGA that El Segundo, California-based Mattel stole MGA’s trade secrets when its employees got into the company’s showrooms at toy fairs by using phony business cards.   In August, Carter ordered Mattel to pay MGA $225 million in punitive damages, attorney fees and costs. That ruling brought the total award in the trial over the Bratz doll’s origins to $310 million. MGA filed its antitrust lawsuit in February of last year after the jury trial had already begun. MGA Chief Executive Officer Isaac Larian said the Van Nuys, California-based company will appeal.  “The judge dismissed on technicality and wants guidance from the court of appeal,” Larian said in an e-mailed statement. “Mattel’s illegal and anticompetitive activities continue worldwide and we will pursue Mattel accordingly until they stop their monopolistic behavior.”  Alan Hilowitz, a Mattel spokesman, said the company was pleased with the decision.  The My Scene Dolls can no longer be bought in the stores within the United States.

The case is MGA Entertainment v. Mattel, 11-01063, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Santa Ana.) 

The series originally consisted of three female characters, but was expanded to eventually include ten different dolls. The My Scene series of dolls was first introduced in the fall season of 2002, before the 2002 Flavas, to compete with the Flava’ dolls. It included three dolls: Barbie, Madison, and Chelsea, with different ethnicities and personalities, and 2 extra fashions for each character. The characters were named after different locations in New York City. By the beginning of 2003, one more was in production: Nolee, and three male characters, Bryant, River, and Hudson.   

 Delancey and Ellis premiered in the "Hanging Out" range which debuted in late 2003. Kenzie debuted in the "Getting Ready Line" of 2004 and Nia debuted in 2008.   

 There are seven characters in the My Scene series Kennedy, Madison, Chelsea, Delancey, Nia, Hudson, and River. Six discontinued characters,  Barbie, Nolee, Kenzie, Bryant, Ellis, and Sutton) and four special edition dolls (Lindsay, Jai, Tyson and Ryan). Each of the My Scene girls and three of the boys own pets.   

Female dolls have the non-twisting belly-button body mold and share an all-new face mold that sports a small nose, wide cheekbones, and large, pouty lips. In some lines (beginning with "Night on the Town") dolls have rooted eyelashes and glittery eyes.  

Like the Bratz, these dolls have large shoes that serve as feet, but they also have traditional Barbie feet and are able to wear regular Barbie shoes. Male dolls also share exclusive face molds, with body molds from previous male dolls. In 2004, new smiling face molds were produced for both male and female characters. These were only present for a short while on the female dolls, but male dolls were made with these molds until early 2005. Beginning with the "Club Birthday" line, their face molds were again changed to non-smiling molds that more closely resembled the "Bratz Boyz" line of dolls. Beginning with the "Swappin' Styles" line of 2006, two new face molds have been produced for female dolls—one features a half-open smiling mouth, and another features a new, closed smirking mouth. This line also sees the return of the "Getting Ready" smiling face mold. In 2007, a somewhat controversial doll line was launched called, "Growing Up Glam", and by turning a key in the back of the doll, you can make her begin to grow taller and begin puberty, similar to the infamous "Growing Up Skipper" Barbie doll. 

Beginning in 2003 with the "Hanging Out" line, dolls began to be packaged with DVDs that contained short video clips, music, and activities. This started a trend that sparked three My Scene movies, all of which have been aired on the Nickelodeon cable channel. The My Scene line features also features four special edition dolls who were only present in the My Scene movies. These include the African-Jamaican characters Jai and Tyson from Jammin' in Jamaica and Lindsay Lohan and Ryan Ridley from My Scene Goes Hollywood. Mattel received special rights to create the only likeness of Lindsay Lohan for the line. Ryan Ridley is a fictional character created for the movie. 

In 2004, new smiling face molds were produced for both male and female characters. These were only present for a short while on the female dolls, but male dolls were made with these molds until early 2005.  Beginning with the "Club Birthday" line, their face molds were again changed to non-smiling molds that more closely resembled the "Bratz Boyz" line of dolls.  Beginning with the "Swappin' Styles" line of 2006, two new face molds have been produced for female dolls—one features a half-open smiling mouth, and another features a new, closed smirking mouth.  This line also sees the return of the "Getting Ready" smiling face mold. In 2007, a somewhat controversial doll line was launched called, "Growing Up Glam", and by turning a key in the back of the doll, you can make her begin to grow taller and begin to grow breasts, similar to the infamous "Growing Up Skipper" Barbie doll.  

 It was announced recently that "My Scene Dolls" will be making a comeback in 2016, more to come.

My Scene: Jammin' in Jamaica was the first My Scene movie, released on DVD in early 2003 as part of the "Jammin' in Jamaica" line. It was directed by Eric Fogel. Madison is manager of a band called Urban Desire, which is made up of the four male characters. When the band wins a contest, they make a trip to Jamaica for the finals, but Barbie, Nolee, and Chelsea must raise the money to travel to Jamaica. After all the characters arrive in Jamaica, Barbie feels left out as her boyfriend, the lead guitarist, begins spending more time with Madison. This causes a rift between the friends but is eventually resolved.

My Scene: Masquerade Madness was the second My Scene DVD, running 23 minutes long which was only half the length of Jammin' in Jamaica. This movie is centered around the Masquerade Madness fashion show, a fundraiser for the local animal shelter. Chelsea designs the fashions for the show all on her own, causing strain on her schoolwork. Failing in geometry and too embarrassed to tell her friends, she calls on Hudson's help in tutoring. As a result, her friends begin to think they are secretly dating. By the end, Chelsea has aced her geometry test and coordinated a successful fashion show.    

My Scene Goes Hollywood was the first DVD movie to be sold apart from the dolls and the only one that was full-length. The film was directed by Eric Fogel and distributed by Miramax Family Films. It featured a voice-over by actress Lindsay Lohan, who plays herself in the movie. Kelly Sheridan of the Barbie film series takes over the role of Barbie. In order to see it up close, the My Scene girls pretend to be extras in an action movie being filmed in New York. When one of the actresses is injured, Madison is called upon to take her place. She begins spending less and less time with her friends and develops a crush on the leading actor, Ryan Ridley. Madison ends up fighting with her friends because they embarrass her. In the end, Lindsay Lohan convinces Madison that friends are the most important thing to have, and the girls make up. Although the title suggests a trip to Hollywood, California, the whole movie actually takes place in New York.
