Ananova:

Kylie Minogue has designed her own replica doll.

The toy is modelled on the pint-sized singer, even down to her famous bottom.

Its head is supposedly an exact replica of Kylie's - hers was scanned for a mould which was then scaled down.

The toy sports a mini version of the Cheekies knickers from her best-selling Love Kylie range, and the outfits are based on real-life designs by Dolce and Gabbana.

Kylie said: "For years I have been asked about a Kylie doll. Well, she has finally arrived and I am delighted. I hope fans will agree it was worth the wait as we worked very hard to get every detail right."

She helped design the doll with the aid of her stylist Will Baker. The dolls, made by Jakks, go on sale on today.
