Hmmm...got really excited when I spotted some Girls Aloud dolls in Woolworths over xmas, but on closer inspection they were just generic Barbies w/ a "Girls Aloud" sticker on them. These look like the real deal, though....will investigate further. Thanks, Matt.
The replacable android popstar look is in, right now.
Bananarama blew it by getting in someone who looked different...the punters don't like it; it disrupts their sense of Personal Conceptual Continuality...annnnd you have to recall the dolls/action-figures when someone goes solo, so it makes good business sense to keep 'em similar. Cheaper to make, too.
It's the 21st century...individual personalities are bad for business.
