Teen Trends

Teen Trends was a line of dolls created by Mattel released in 2005. Teen Trends dolls are unique in being 17 inches tall, making them closer to the height of American Girl dolls than other 12-inch fashion dolls such as Barbie. There are four characters, each receiving 2 dolls, with a third “wave” of dolls that introduced a 5th character being shown, but never released.

The line has been inactive since 2006-2007, making the status likely discontinued.

Controversy

When the Bratz Wild Wild West line was created MGA Entertainment released a doll named Kiana, Mattel's doll, Kianna, had a totally different personality. Mattel's doll was a rocker and MGA's doll was a cow girl. Mattel insisted the dolls were the same and the Bratz Kiana was discontinued.
