A New York doll maker says it will be selling what it believes is the first transgender doll on the market.
The doll is based on Jazz Jennings, the teenage transgender subject of the TLC documentary series I am Jazz. It will make its debut at the New York Toy Fair next week and be available on the Tonner Doll Co.s web site and in specialty stores in July.
A spokesman for the company said the 18-inch doll, which has a genderless plastic mold typical of most dolls, is being tested for kids aged 8 years and older and is expected to retail for $89.99.
In comparison, the popular mass-market American Girl 18-inch dolls, which come with a book, sell for $115 on AmericanGirl.com.
Tonner Doll, which is based in Kingston, New York, said Friday that the Jazz doll is being launched as a test for the specialty-retail market and will be sold by 25 to 50 stores. If its a hit, the company hopes to take it to the mass market.

My German soldier “action figures” use to gang bang Barbie.
Yes, it did have that meaning just about 100 years ago, according to my late mother (b. 1912). I remember that, after I was well into adulthood, she told me that it took her a long time to be able to use the term “jazz” for music because her first acquaintance with the work “jazz” was as a verb not to be heard in polite company.
Hey in my book transgenders should be free to be transgender and I should be free to refer to them as freaks.
” incoctrination”
A most excellent typo, Frank!
:D
Another place to boycott along with maybelline.
Yep I heard that too, that this “Jazz” person had difficulties in the boyfriend/girlfriend area of life.
I guess we are all bigots then, if we would reject a Trans whatever person out of hand.
I’m a bigot. I married a woman, who was born female, was always female, had a woman’s body in every place you can imagine, and who identified as a heterosexual woman, and was happy to be a heterosexual woman. When I was younger I would have rejected someone who was not born female.
Send me to reeducation camp right now......
The coming protests against cisgender bias and placing less value on transgender dolls should have some entertainment value. They're going to have to raise the price.
Does it come with a detachable ding-dong?
Big Dick Barbie
Guaranteed anatomically incorrect.
Somehow dragging my sisters Barbies on a string behind my bike doesn’t seem so bad.
If I remember correctly, Ken had a genital bump. Barbies aren’t genderless. They’re private-partless.
That’s a Ken doll with a wig. Looks like a tranny.
It looks like a boy. It’s eyes arent far enough apart.
$90? They aren’t going to sell very well.
Eyes not far enough apart?
Sounds like mommy’s a piece of work.
I’m sure these will sell way less than “curvy barbie”.
Maybe the only people buying them will be psychiatric hospitals.
