Playboy Collectors' Figure Series
- Playboy Collectors' Figure Series
Playboy Collectors' Figures are a series of dolls modeled after popular "Playboy" Playmates. Generally known as Playboy Dolls, the first doll was launched at the International Toy Fair in New York in 2002. The dolls are 16 inches tall, dwarfing G.I. Joe dolls by 4 inches. Initial dolls in the series are:
*Victoria Silvstedt
*Karen McDougal
*Dalene Kurtis
*Ava Fabian
*Marilyn Monroe
The original concept was to release them as limited production run dolls for collectors every year after initial launch. The dolls boasted features such as soft plastic skin, joint articulation for realistic movement, and "anatomically correct" modelling. Wax casting of the face, hands, and certain other body parts was used to model those areas. Sculptors worked very closely with the Playmates throughout the process. For some of the latter dolls, computer scans of the Playmate's body was used.
The clothing for the dolls was usually modelled after the clothing used in the Playmate's pictorial or, in the case of Marilyn Monroe, a timeless classic costume associated with the subject.
They dolls are designed and manufactured by the Stronghold Group with assistance from Living Toyz and Evil Genius Toys.
