At 16 years old, Jazz Jennings has already starred in her own reality series, penned a book, and walked the runway — and now the transgender teen girl has a doll in her own likeness.

Tonner Doll Company announced on Friday that it will be selling what it believes to be the first transgender doll on the market.

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 eight years and older and is expected to retail for $89.99.

The Jazz-inspired doll will make its debut at the New York Toy Fair next week and be available on the company's website and in specialty stores in July.

In comparison, the popular mass-market American Girl dolls, which are all 18-inches and 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 it's a hit, the company hopes to take it to the mass market.

Do trannies need dolls? I thought they viewed themselves as the other gender and not some in between hormonal monster.

Do FTM trannies actually exist or are they a meme?
 
If it doesn't have any genitalia what exactly distinguishes it from non trans dolls? It just looks like a kind of homely girl doll.
It's a doll of Jazz Jennings who is trans irl. Her family whoring her out to the media at 6 years old was what started this whole "trans kids" craze. I doubt this will really make it on the market; I can't see anyone other than fad-chasing parents buying this thing.
 
Meh, I can't get worked up about it. Obviously there's a market for the doll, or they wouldn't be doing it.

If anything, I find this less annoying than that "realistic Barbie" doll with the acne stickers that came out a few years ago.
 
Tonner usually makes stuff aimed at adult collectors, I guess this is just them trying to cash in on the SJW buck by creating a doll in the likeness of a prominant trans activist. Afaik Jazz is pretty sane so it's better she gets a doll than, say, Greta.
 
I for one am delighted that kids will get to play the role of a deranged, Munchausen's-by-proxy mother.
