VAN NUYS, Calif., Sept 15, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- With kids back in school, many old friends are reuniting and some new friendships are just beginning. Today, MGA Entertainment, Inc. (MGA), a worldwide leader in the toy industry, announced the launch of BFC, Ink.(TM), a new doll line that embraces the excitement that comes from belonging to a supportive group of friends and accomplishing your goals together.

"BFC, Ink. is an educational and interactive brand that focuses on understanding the real life challenges that today's girls are facing," said Isaac Larian, CEO, MGA Entertainment, Inc. "Our research shows that girls seek a role model whom they can depend on and relate to.
Armed with this knowledge, we created a line based on the central idea of true friends and the many ways to experience the power of friendship through doll play, books, journals and more."
BFC, Ink. consists of five characters: Addison(TM), Kaitlin(TM), Calista(TM), Aliesha(TM), and Noelle(TM), each with her own unique personality and story to tell. Within the BFC, Ink. line are two categories: BFC, Ink. 18" Dolls and BFC, Ink. Fashion Dolls.
Included within the box for each line are outfits and accessories, a BFC, Ink. book with lock and key and a BFC, Ink. membership card, which can be used to unlock games on the BFC, Ink. website.
All five characters are available in the BFC, Ink. Fashion Doll line and Kaitlin, Addison and Calista are available in the BFC, Ink. 18" Doll line.
Girls also can visit www.BFCInk.com to read their favorite characters' blogs and to get the scoop on how to create their very own clubs.
In addition to featuring interactive fashions and journals, BFC, Ink. is anchored by a literary program through Parragon Publishing. The program consists of a series of tween targeted fiction books, written in a journal format by each character and features relatable topics for girls 7-12 years old.
The publishing program also gives girls the tools to create their own club through titles such as the BFC, Ink. "Club Kit", to get creative through the BFC, Ink. "Scrapbook", or to keep track of important diary dates in "My Amazing Life" date book.
