Lesbian Action Doll
Goes On Sale
The Sunday Herald - UK
7-27-4
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.
