Christina Aguilera doll

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yaboom Toys released a Christina Aguilera doll in 2000.[1][2] The celebrity doll featured the likeness of Christina Aguilera, with different outfits from her concerts, appearances, photoshoots, and music videos. Some dolls could "sing" when a button on their stomachs was pressed. Yaboom planned "talking dolls", but they were never developed. The other dolls were standard fashion dolls (see Mattel's Barbie) made with help from Play Along Toys. They became a hit during the 2000 holiday season. Later on, the line was promoted less often, and was eventually discontinued two years before Aguilera released her album Stripped, with its more adult content.

In a radio interview, Aguilera stated that she thought the doll's hair was too "poofy," and that they looked nothing like her. In another interview, she talked about how the doll was created, "I had to pose for it -- side views, back views, mug shots," she told Australia's Daily Telegraph. "Its weird looking like it. It's like my Mini-Me". In Ecuador (her family's country), there were Christina dolls that had long hair. The dolls can still be found on the eBay website. There was also a very rare mini Christina doll released.
