Ty Inc, the company behind the Beanie Babies craze have released two new dolls – named “Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia” – that’s right, the same names as Barack Obama’s daughters. Ty Inc spokeswoman Tania Lundeen said “There’s nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls, it would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not.”
The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.
