MARGOT ROBBIE IS UP TO HERE WITH BARBIE PINK

Margot Robbie is fed up with dressing like a doll. The Barbie star has appeared at countless promotional events dressed in some of Barbie’s most iconic costumes, and as we reported in July, she negotiated to KEEP all of the outfits and plans to auction them off for charity later. Margot showed up at The Golden Globes dressed in a pink sequined gown, which duplicated an iconic Barbie look, but she didn’t win the best actress award as many predicted. Margot is still hoping to get nominated for an Academy Award for the role but she’s already telling friends if she DOES score an Oscar nomination, she doesn’t want to show up to that event looking like Barbie. Our source explained that Margot is grateful for her film’s success, but now feels the gimmick has gotten stale and she wants her own style back. Can’t blame her…

“AND JUST LIKE THAT” CHARACTERS MIGHT BECOME DOLLS!

Will women and gay men play with dolls? That’s the question And Just Like That producers are trying to answer now. According to a series insider (remember we were the FIRST to reveal Kim Cattrall was making a surprise appearance!) producers have developed a series of collectible dolls complete with designer wardrobes that they are test marketing in focus groups. The show’s demographics are mainly middle-aged women and gay men, (just like this website!) so producers are trying to decipher whether there’s a market for these dolls, which will retail for a few hundred dollars each. So far the feedback has been positive, so Sarah Jessica Parker and her pals could be coming to a store near you.

THE TANOREXIC PATRICIA KRENTCIL DOLL NEEDS A MAKEOVER

The Tanorexic Doll might be the perfect gift for your tan addicted friends. Herobuilders.com slapped together a 9″ doll based on Patricia Krentcil, the tanorexic New Jersey mom accused of tanning with her 5 year old daughter. The company specializes in newsmakers and has had past success with Anthony Weiner and Jersey Shore cast dolls. In their haste, however, they failed to dress the $29.95 doll in more appropriate tank top and stretchpants and wedgies. (A suit and Frankenstein shoes?) She needs whiter frosted lipstick but the snaggle tooth is an adept touch. A bottle of wine in the doll’s hand would be a nice accessory, also.

IT WAS INEVITABLE: THE WEINER DOLL

Anthony Weiner is now a doll. A quick thinking toy company has designed an action figure of the disgraced congressman that sells for $49.95.The sex scandal doll is wearing a gym shirt and shorts, and comes with a little cell phone. It’s actually a rather flattering likeness.

FACEBOOK MOGUL MARK ZUCKERBERG IS NOW A DOLL

Here’s the perfect gift for brainiac kids: the Mark Zuckerberg action figure doll. (For legal reasons the M.I.C store had to call it the Poking Inventor Action Figure) It’s 7 inches tall and features blank speech balloons that attach to the head. Of course, he’s appropriately attired in flip flops and a hoodie and sells for $70. Keep in mind, a media mogul action figure is more inspiring for kids than any cartoon character.

JUSTIN BIEBER IS NOW A DOLL WITH A BIG WARDROBE

Tweens will be spending hours dressing and undressing their Justin Bieber dolls on December 26. Bravado has introduced a line of Justin dolls that will give every little girl (and boy) the opportunity to have her own little Justin to cuddle. Dolls start at $17.99, and for $27.99, he’ll sing your favorite songs. Lots of accessories and outfits for the doll are available such as leather jackets, red carpet suits, guitars etc. We wonder if the hair moves.

Celebrity dolls just keep coming out of the woodwork. Jailbreak Toys beat their competition to the punch by releasing this Barack Obama doll in time for Christmas. The six inch action figure is perfect as a stocking stuffer and priced at an affordable $12.95. It’s flying off the shelves at stores in New York.

SORRY, NO TWILIGHT DOLLS FOR CHRISTMAS

Better late than never. The Tonner Company announced that they’re coming out with a set of Twilight dolls, but they won’t be under any Christmas trees- because the dolls aren’t available until Spring. The Bella Swan doll is fifteen inches high and the Edward Cullen doll is 17 inches high. Cute, huh? The Robert Pattinson “Edward” doll has great hair (we’re dying to touch it) but it’s not cheap. The company is taking pre-orders, but so far no price has been announced. We’re estimating they’ll cost around $125.00. Do you think they’ll be a hit?

KATY PERRY: CROSS THIS DOLL OFF YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST

Katy Perry doll for Christmas. The doll is as hard to get as “Tickle Me Elmo” was a few years ago. The “I Kissed a Girl” singer must be quite flattered by the popularity of her likeness. Integrity Toys did have a waiting list for the limited edition and highly collectible doll, but the list is now CLOSED. Consider the RuPaul doll as an alternative.
