South African singer Tyla and the company Bratz have officially collaborated, making her the latest celebrity to receive a collectible doll inspired by her iconic fashion moments.
This announcement concludes a long discussion among fans. In 2024, Tyla shared a fan-made Bratz-style image on social media, expressing hope of having her own doll. This prediction has now become reality.
The collectible version features two outfits directly taken from her most recognizable looks. One is based on the Balmain 'Sands of Time' sculptural dress she wore at her first Met Gala in 2024, along with a miniature clock-shaped handbag that accompanied this look.
The second look reflects her stage style, combining a sequined mini-skirt, crop top, and a gold belt with a Bratz charm. The doll also replicates Tyla's braided bob, a look closely associated with the Grammy-winning artist.
This launch occurs during a very busy period in her career. Tyla's second studio album, 'A*Pop', is scheduled for release on July 24th and contains 14 tracks. The album includes previously released songs such as 'Is It', 'She Did It Again', and 'Chanel'.
The Bratz x Tyla collectible doll will first be publicly available at the Bratz pop-up store inside FAO Schwarz at Rockefeller Plaza in New York on July 24, 2026, coinciding with the release date of the 'A*Pop' album.
For Tyla herself, this collaboration is more than just a commercial deal. It places her alongside a growing list of global stars reimagined as Bratz dolls, reflecting how much her fashion image has become part of her international appeal. What started as a fan concept has become an official collectible item, arriving at a crucial moment in the singer's rise on the global pop scene.
Local authorities in Jordan responded to citizen appeals after an unusual toy was discovered in a store in the Irbid province.
The children's doll, displayed for sale in several markets, provoked widespread debate and anger among residents. Citizens considered the design of this toy incompatible with the country's values and demanded its removal from trading venues.
Circulating images showed that the doll resembled a 'Barbie' doll, but it was stylized as a man dressed in women's clothing and wearing makeup.
According to Wafaa Al-Momani, Deputy General Director for Regulatory Affairs at the Jordanian Standards and Metrology Organization, imported batches of toys include hundreds of different items and are subject to random checks based on risk criteria and sales seasons.
She explained that the appearance of this doll on the local market was limited and unintentional. Al-Momani noted that the importer did not pay due attention to the nature of the design, emphasizing that the primary responsibility lies with importers and traders for sorting goods and ensuring their societal compliance before offering them for sale.
