They were known for being more inclusive than other makes such as Barbie, as they included different skin tones and hair textures.
Shelby describes their look as "badass" and used their style to create her own, as she began beauty and fashion blogging.

After studying creative media at Bradford college, Shelby decided to use her love of fashion, beauty and Bratz to create her social media accounts and quickly became known for her outfits.
Shelby has become a great advocate for disabilty and inclusion in the industry.
She has a disability called Spinal Muscular Atrophy which causes her muscles to become weak over time.

Shelby said of her internet success: "I like that my shots help boost confidence, including my own.
"I've always been open about my disability, I've had to be open because of doctor appointments.
"I like that through my fashion, I can help inspire and help confidence."
It's not just social media she's known for as she has appeared in multiple campaigns including Missguided.
Now, Shelby hopes to take her platform even further by creating a petition.
Her petition hopes to educate children on disability in schools.
She said: "As a disabled model and social media influencer I'm constantly bombarded with ignorant, ablest comments saying "We don't need more cripples", people telling me I shouldn't have children because they'll be disabled and what's worse people actually believe that disabled people don't have relationships!
"All this ableism comes mostly from teenagers and adults and it's simply because they are uneducated on disabilities.
"Growing up children are never taught about disabilities so they grow up thinking it's weird and because their parents weren't taught they've got nobody to teach them!
"I would love for children to be educated on disabilities in schools so this cycle of ableism can stop now!
Shelby hopes that, with disability models like herself, brands such as ASOS and Shein will move to become more inclusive.
