Britney Spears Doll

In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Fashion Doll. The doll featured Britney Spears with different outfits, make-up and hairstyles from her concerts, apperances, photoshoots and music videos. The doll quickly became one of the hottest toys of the year and holiday season. Millions of the dolls were sold and they were the first and biggest selling toy for Play Alongs Toys. The doll line went on to break all records for sales of an individual personality doll. After the Britney Spears Doll, more Celebrity dolls started to appear like: Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Aaron Carter, A* Teens, Sisqo, Dream, 2gether, *NSYNC, Vitamic C, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and plenty more. Of course Britney wasn't the first, they were preceeded by the Spice Girls and New Kids on the Block.

The first time Britney Spears actually saw the doll she reportedly was furious. It was rumored that she thought it was "ugly". It was reported that she demanded her Britney Spears dolls be changed because, according to a British tabloid, they looked like a "bulldog chewing a wasp." As Britney reportedly reasoned, "I felt a bit bad about ordering changes but hey, it's my doll." Yaboom Toys also made a singing Britney Spears doll that would "sing' when you pressed a button on her belly. The doll started to change over time, the face started looking different, with smaller eyes and a thinner nose. The dolls originally started out brunette, then the hair got darker, then over time it got blonder until it was completly blonde. Britney started to become more mature as time went on. The dolls weren't as hot as they used to be. Play Along discontinued the doll in 2002. The dolls are now collectables and can be found on Ebay. The success of the dolls, really helped put Britney's name on the map.
