Mattel has launched its doll collection for Disney’s upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid.
The dolls feature the likenesses of Halle Bailey’s Ariel, Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula and Javier Bardem’s King Triton.
As well as fashion dolls of the main characters, key items in the line include the Transforming Ariel Doll, which changes from human to mermaid at the push of her shell necklace, and the Sing & Dream Ariel Doll, which sings ‘Part of Your World’.
Elsewhere, the compact Storytime Stackers Ariel’s Grotto Playset includes multiple play areas, including a pool and elevator lift. It comes complete with an Ariel small mermaid doll, Flounder and Sebastian figures, and other accessories.
