Own the Paris Hilton Doll!
February 10, 2008 by Nikki Katz
Prepare yourself… you can soon own a Paris Hilton doll!! And Paris even got to pick the clothes and accessories herself.
The Hilton dolls, made by Germany’s Simba Toys, will go on sale in Europe this year alongside Simba’s existing doll character, Steffi Love, which competes in a fashion doll market dominated by a US rival, Barbie.
Strangely enough, the dolls do not resemble Paris! But they do represent her taste. Paris got to pick three glitzy outfits — including silver streaked hair, jewelry and MP3 player — for the dolls: Party, Glam Summer and Shopping.
A Simba executive, Jürgen Deschner, said the products would have a starting pretax price of 8.40 euros ($12.40). Not too bad.
Paris said that this isn’t the first time she’s been approached about making a doll in her image. Unfortunately the first set of companies wanted something a little less wholesome! “I turn down perverted things, some sex things,” she said according to femalefirst.co.uk. “Like a Paris Hilton blow-up doll.”
