Wow! Even as a toy, Kate Middleton simply looks lovely. Even more so than Barbie and I have to agree with that. She’s got the glossy, chestnut hair, the blue silk dress, the jewels — and she could be yours, for a princely $195.

The pint-sized Kate Middleton Doll, by the Franklin Mint, is no cheap date. But she’s the latest in royal wedding memorabilia.

One of a two-doll Kate set (the bridal version will be released after Britain’s Royal Wedding takes place), the 16-inch doll’s release is announced this week, in anticipation of the royal couple’s big day.

What do you think of the doll?
