Ty Girlz dolls named Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha
The Obama Girls are hot and Ty, the maker of Beanie Babies, is riding the wave. They just came out with two new dolls, Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha, that are obviously modeled after the two new First Daughters, though the toy company denies it . However, the soft brown-skinned dolls appear to be the only African-American ones in the 30-doll Ty Girlz collection.
These little dolls are darling. Kids are going to love them. They will be infinitely more fun to play with than the presidential paper dolls Dover produces.

The toy company denies it? What, it’s a coincidence that they chose those names? I think I’d rather be sued than pretend I’m that oblivious to national politics.

Oh, I don’t think Ty is oblivious to the politics of it all. They follow kid trends and the Obama girls are really popular right now. The Jonas Brothers were part of the scavenger hunt in the White House on inaugural night, by golly.
