- An action figure described as the world's first lesbian
action doll went on sale in the US [recently].
-
- Bobbie Doll is the first of the dolls from the DYKEdolls
series to go on sale. The 12-inch tall toy wears a leather jacket, muscle
T-shirt and a tattoo.
-
- The dolls are the brainchild of New Yorker Stephanie
Prod. The 36-year-old came up with the idea while writing her Masters thesis
on the under-representation of lesbians in popular culture.
-
- The DYKEdoll figures will sell for $49.95 (about £28)
each. But only people over 21 can buy the full package priced at $65 (£37).
It includes accessories such as tiny leather harnesses and miniature vibrators.
-
- Bobbie - or Bobbie Rockabilly DYKEdoll, to give her full
title - will launch on the dykedolls.com website along with her friends,
Doc Holliday and Diesel Dyke.
