There's no doubt about it, Hilary Duff is one of the most talented, popular and highly recognized teenagers in the country. At just 16, Hilary is already an internationally acclaimed star of TV, film and music. Now Hilary can add a new line of fashion dolls and accessories to her accomplishments. Three super-stylish Hilary Duff look-alike fashion dolls, manufactured by Playmates Toys of Costa Mesa, CA, are appearing in toy stores across America.

"Each of these new fashion dolls capture the many sides of Hilary's talented career and personality," said Nancy Goldblum, Vice President of Marketing, Girls Toys, for Playmates Toys. "There's Rock Star, Movie Star and TV Star fashion dolls, all dressed in clothes that came straight out of Hilary's closet. Hilary's involvement in the development of these dolls has made each one unique and special -- just like Hilary herself."

Goldblum added that adorable accessories and a Pixi Stamp -- a real photo stamper of Hilary -- are included with every doll.

Hilary began her career as a dancer at the age of six. Her "Lizzie McGuire" TV series was the highest-rated sitcom in the history of The Disney Channel. Her hit movies "Agent Cody Banks" and "Lizzie McGuire" both grossed over $40 million. Add to this two soon-to-be-released films, "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "A Cinderella Story," and this year's number-one album "Metamorphosis," and there's no doubt Hilary is a teenage phenomenon.

Between her TV, movie and recording career, she spends her time between homes in Houston and Los Angeles with her parents, sister Haylie, and two dogs. When she isn't acting or singing, she loves to spend time with her friends, just like a normal teenager.

A committed animal activist, Hilary is also proud of her involvement with one of the country's pre-eminent wild horse sanctuaries, "Return to Freedom." Following a recent visit to the sanctuary, the young star was selected as the youth ambassador to help further educate and inspire America's teens to become involved with charitable endeavors on behalf of the wild horses. Hilary is also a member of the Youth Advisory Committee of "Kids with a Cause," a non-profit organization of celebrity children working to assist those less fortunate than themselves.
