# Royal Sister Action Figures The Kate and Pippa Wedding Dolls are Not True to Size By Katherinev123 | Published 2011-11-10 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-and-pippa-wedding-dolls References: [huffingtonpost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/09/pippa-middleton-action-figure-doll_n_1084655.html) & [herobuilders](http://www.herobuilders.com/kateandpippa.htm) There has been a number of items created in tribute to the Middleton sisters, from fashion editorials to toast portraits, and here is another: the Kate and Pippa wedding dolls by Herobuilders. Herobuilders, an American toy brand, has released a few dolls modeled -- loosely, at that -- after the royal sisters. The Pippa doll is clothed in a long white gown that is supposed to be a [mini replica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-kweenie) of the Alexander McQueen bridesmaid dress she wore for her sister's wedding and the Kate doll features two different outfits: the first is a [lace-sleeved wedding dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-azazie) modeled after Middleton's Sarah Burton bridal gown; the other is a Herobuilder original, a rose-hued satin gown adorned with rosettes. Priced at $49.95 each, the Kate and Pippa wedding dolls are cute, but as the Huffington Post points out, they also have weird action figure-like proportions (check out their bulging arms). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Celebrity-inspired Dolls:** Creating dolls modeled after famous personalities can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the toy industry, appealing to fans and collectors alike. - **Fashion Replica Toys:** Designing miniature versions of iconic outfits can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry, attracting fashion enthusiasts and collectors. - **Dolls with Unique Features:** Introducing dolls with unconventional proportions and unique features can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the toy industry, offering a fresh and unique play experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry has the potential to capitalize on the trend of creating celebrity-inspired dolls, opening up new markets and revenue streams. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can explore the market for fashion replica toys, providing an avenue for fans to engage with iconic outfits in a unique and collectible way. - **Collectibles Market:** The collectibles market can benefit from dolls with unique features, targeting collectors who are seeking unconventional and distinctive items for their collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Couture Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney.md) - [Inspiring Role Model Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-role-models.md) - [Tennis Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venus-williams-doll.md) - [Athlete Commemorative Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venus-williams-barbie.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Sparkling Detailed Princess Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-girl-doll-1.md) - [Two-Sided Paper Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megadolls.md) - [Friendship-Celebrating Doll Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hey-bestie.md) - [Food Influencer-Inspired Miniature Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-norkeliunas.md)
