The doll is No. 1 on Amazon, and so popular that fakes have been popping up online and duping shoppers. Ms. Rachel faced the drama in a video where she went over the difference between her doll and the knockoff.

“I’m so sorry that this is happening,” she said of the fake dolls. “I want to make sure that you got a real one, so let’s go over how to tell. This is so important to me because we don’t know if the fake dolls are safe or not,” Ms. Rachel continues before explaining the features of her doll versus the fake.
Released by Spin Master, the authentic Ms. Rachel doll is an interactive, touch-activated toy that sings four songs: “Wheels on the Bus,” “Hop Little Bunny,” “I’m So Happy” and “Icky Sticky.” The doll also says more than 16 signature phrases, including “Can you say…?” and “I’m so proud of you!”

From the frequency level, volume, timbre and texture, every single detail of a musical composition matters, to get to a place where you’re happy to hand it out to the world,” the British singer said in a statement. “When I listen to music, I want to hear it in the most beautiful way. As an artist, I want people to listen to exactly what I signed off on, and to experience my music as I envisioned it to be heard when I recorded it in the studio. I absolutely love music.

“Growing up in a dance studio teaches you a lot about the intersection between exercise and fashion,” the singer explained in a statement, per Women’s Wear Daily. “I was always inspired by the way dancers would create their own outfits, whether it was in ballet class pairing shorts and legwarmers or hip-hop class where personal style is paramount.”
Trending on Billboard
The statement continues, “I’ve always wanted to bring that creative and free dancer energy to apparel. I’m excited to finally bring this idea to life by designing specific items that you can move in and feel more creative than sports bras and leggings.”
In addition to honoring dance as a universal language, the collection celebrates Tinashe’s decade-long relationship with Urban Outfitters. The “Nasty” singer closed out Urban Outfitters’ UO Live Campus series in Tucson, Arizona last month. “I love Urban Outfitters because I feel like they just really support my individuality, and I love the fact that I can continuously evolve who I am with Urban Outfitters,” she told Billboard at the time. “They have just so many different aesthetics that you can lean into and different things that you can play with, and I just love that.”
