A Britney Spears doll is taking
the UK by storm, selling-out pretty much everywhere as desperate
BLOKES fall over themselves to buy them.
Over 60,000, of a range of 11 different dolls, have been imported
into the country so far, and hot-blooded fellers are snapping
them up at around fifteen quid a pop.
All the dolls feature Britney's infamous figure-hugging skirts,
and flawless features (although we can't vouch for the authenticity
of the doll's 'breasts' or 'monkey's forehead'), with one
doll in particular - the Britney Spears Waitress Doll - changing
hands among British collectors for over £100 because
of it's lack of availability in the UK.
The dolls, which went on sale in November, are based on Britney's
first three hits: Sometimes (skimpy sweater), Baby One More
Time (schoolgirl), and Crazy (waitress).
A spokesman for the manufacturers commented: "Because
the waitress doll was not officially released in the UK it
has become a collector's item. These dolls are changing hands
for more than £100 each. Like many collectibles, the
main collectors are adults. Male adults are particularly keen."
He also went on to say that 10,000 'emergency' supplies are
already on their way, with another 50,000 due to arrive sometime
in June. And that there really is no need to panic if you
can't find them. You can simply check out your local toy shop
next week.
In the meantime someone should get cracking on that life-sized
version of the Britney doll - then we'll really show some
interest...
