Life in plastic, it’s fantastic!

They might sing, "I’m your friend, I’m fun, and I’m fine," but Barbie had still better watch her back—Interscope Records, the label behind Las Vegas burlesque nightclub act the Pussycat Dolls, in conjunction with toy maker Hasbro, have announced plans to immortalize the girls in plastic.

Available in time for the holiday season, six dolls will be developed in the images of the current Pussycat Doll line up, says an announcement on www.nicolescherzinger.org, the web site of the Dolls’ lead singer. Designed to appeal to children between the ages of 6 and 9, the dolls will retail for around $15, right around the same price point one would expect to pay for similarly-marketed astronaut or United States Navy Officer Barbie, although most likely with a more risqué wardrobe and rockin’ hair. Although some in the industry consider this a questionable venture, given the Pussycat Dolls’ somewhat raunchy reputation, executives are determined prove the universal appeal the Dolls have achieved since the release of their PCD album—desirable to adults due to their lounge act, while somehow still moral enough to be admired by young girls previously dazzled by blonder Barbie. Or, in other words, fun for the whole family.
