Royal Wedding Dolls: Mattel's Prince William And Kate Middleton Barbie Dolls Set For Release (PHOTO)

For those who still can't get enough of last year's royal wedding, Mattel is releasing a Barbie and Ken version of Prince William and Kate -- just in time for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's one-year wedding anniversary.

The company's royal dolls feature the plastic pair in their wedding-day regalia, with Barbie Kate in a floor-length, ivory taffeta replica of her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown, complete with lace and faux pearl buttons. The Duchess of Cambridge doll also wears a veil, sparkling tiara, diamond earrings and even a mini-version of her sapphire engagement ring.

The Prince William figurine wears a replica of his red Irish Guard uniform. His outfit includes tiny doll-sized medals.

Mattel's William and Catherine Royal Wedding gift set is available for pre-order online now at BarbieCollector.com for $100.

This isn't the first time we're seeing royal wedding dolls. Last year, collectable company Franklin Mint issued a $295 Kate Middleton royal engagement doll, which featured a replica of her dress. And who could forget the strangely muscular action figure replicas of Kate and Pippa, released by toy company Herobuilders in November 2011?

Mattel is no stranger to bride and groom doll sets. The company just released "Twilight" wedding dolls earlier this month.

The Franklin Mint versions look way better than this. But that's because The Franklin Mint is knowledgeable of what they are doing. Mattel just produces cheap mass-produced crap that looks and smells it.

Kate's face is bigger and so is her head. The doll is not proportional. Will is missing huge bald spot.

This set is very sweet but I really love the Franklin Mint's doll of Catherine when she married Prince William. Check it out in this article. It's a side view where you can see her dress in detail ... and it says that it's an exact replica of her wedding gown and the tiara Queen Elizabeth gave Catherine to wear for her wedding. Cost: $295.00. It looks more like Catherine (Sorry, can't think of her title!) but these Barbie dolls are cute, too. What Barbie doll collector wouldn't want this set? :)

Never thought I'd actually buy a Barbie doll but my little granddaughter loves them so that's that. Just ordered these for her birthday. She will be delighted with them.

The dolls seem more interesting than the people they represent

Over the span of a few centuries, we mess up the concept of tea not once, but twice!  Now this.

We're just not going to be happy until we get no more dinner invites...
