Upcoming output from X Factor winners Little Mix is set to be even more manufactured and fake than expected, as the girlband are set to launch their own doll range this Christmas.

The four-piece are to be cast in plastic and sold to their fans by music merchandiser Bravado, who will launch the new range in November. Their range will include 'collector dolls', micro-sized 'celeb dolls' plus accessories, games and puzzles.

"We are delighted to be working with Vivid as the fashion doll and accessories partner for Little Mix," says Jane Kennedy, director of licensing at Modest Management. "The girls love fashion and so it’s fitting that this passion is being extended into their doll line."

David Boyne, Bravado’s UK MD added: "We are delighted to bring together Britain’s most exciting new girl band and Britain’s leading Toymaker Vivid, I am confident that between us  we will be delivering some of the most exciting product the market will be seeing this year."
