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 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 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).
