Britney Spears doll

The Britney Spears Doll is a doll made in the likeness of pop singer Britney Spears. Several dolls were released. The dolls were dressed with clothing that Britney had used in concerts and mostly in music videos.

The Doll
In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Fashion Doll. It was the first product ever released by this toy company. The doll featured Spears with different outfits, make-up and hairstyles from her concerts, appearances, photoshoots and music videos. Yaboom Toys also made a singing Britney Spears doll that would "sing" when you pressed a button on her belly. A porcelain doll was also made, as well as miniature dolls.

Popularity
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 was popular due to the fact they were released at a peak of Spears's fame.

Play Along toys followed up the Britney doll with the following Celebrity dolls: Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Aaron Carter, A*Teens, Sisqó, Dream, 2gether, *NSYNC, Vitamin C, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and plenty more. They were preceded by the Spice Girls and New Kids on the Block.

Criticism
The first time Spears actually saw the doll she reportedly was furious. 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 Spears reportedly reasoned, "I felt a bit bad about ordering changes but hey, it's my doll."

End of The Line
The doll was given a new head mold with different shaped eyes, a thinner nose and a longer, thinner face. Spears's image began to change when her album Britney was released. Her sexier outfits and steamy videos made the dolls become less desired by children and their parents. The last dolls released were modeled after Britney's 2001 Pepsi commercials. Play Along discontinued the doll in 2004.They are still very popular on ebay
