Dolly Parton is being commemorated in a series of new collector Dolly Dolls in conjunction with Integrity Toys and her new Life of Many Colors Museum.

Dolly and her team had been working on the new Dolly Dolls for more than a year alongside Integrity Toys, and Dolly can be seen joking and playing with one of the dolls in a recently released video snippet as part of behind-the-scenes footage for her Life of Many Colors Museum. This latest iteration of Dolly Dolls marks a new chapter in a long history of Dolly-inspired dolls, dating back to the 1970s.

The first three Dolly Dolls feature Dolly recreated in 1:6 (12-inch) scale, with a vinyl, poseable body. The outfits are all based on looks from her personal fashion archive, and each doll’s outfit and accessories are handcrafted with luxurious details and couture styling. Each doll’s makeup palette has also been created to match specific products in Dolly’s “Dolly Beauty” line.

The Dreamin’ in Gingham Dolly Doll features a gingham and denim look with custom embroidered roses and a blinged-out custom-designed guitar that matches one played by Dolly on stage, as well as fabulous shoes and jewelry, including a Dolly signature necklace.

The World on Fire Dolly Doll features a fashion reminiscent of the one Dolly wore to the 2023 ACM awards, with a custom top with zip front and tails, crystal rhinestone and glittered embellishments, buckle details and a decorative cross zipper pull, custom matching rhinestone pants and a custom faux-leather capelet with buckles. The doll has a removable massive overskirt printed with a graphic of the world map, and also comes with a mic stand with a detachable wireless mic and jewelry and shoes.

The Diamond in a Rhinestone World Museum-Exclusive Dolly Doll is only available in person at the Life of Many Colors Museum and features an elaborate custom rhinestone-embellished white suit styled to match one of Dolly’s fashions visitors will see at the Museum. The look features a miniature of Dolly’s butterfly “jeweled” necklace among other jewelry, sparkling shoes, and an embellished electric guitar with neck strap.

“I have come a long way from that cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, but I am still the same girl of many colors that I was then,” Dolly said in a statement that has been included on the dolls’ package. “I am so excited to have my newest tiny tassel top to share with all of you. Her corn silk colored hair has come a long, long way too! Integrity Toys, along with my archive team, has lovingly created a beautiful collection of brand new Dolly Dolls. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.”

“There is no celebrity who is more beloved than Dolly Parton,” says Carol Roth, who helped put together and manage the collaboration for Integrity Toys. “She is not only a global pop culture icon, entertainer, fashionista and philanthropist, but she is an ambassador to being beautiful inside and out. It is the Integrity Toys team’s complete honor and privilege to have worked with Dolly and her incredible, thoughtful team on carefully crafting a museum-worthy, beautiful tribute in doll-size that captures Dolly’s essence and unique style and that collectors and fans alike can proudly display  and love for decades to come.”

The Dreamin’ in Gingham and World on Fire dolls have limited quantities available at the Life of Many Colors Museum online store here and also have quantities available in the Museum store in person for visitors. Diamond in a Rhinestone World is available exclusively in-person at the Museum store for Museum visitors.
