    The nine-inch plastic doll features bright blonde hair and a distinctly orange face.

    Krentcil, 44, from New Jersey, gained global notoriety after allegedly taking her five-year-old girl to a tanning salon.

    She faced charges of child endangerment after the girl's kindergarten teacher noticed severe burns all over her body.


    But now followers of pop culture can buy their own so-called 'Tanorexic' figure from U.S. cult dollmaker Herobuilders for $29.95.

    Krentcil is free on $2,500 cash bond after pleading innocent to child endangerment. She claimed her daughter merely suffered a bad sunburn after playing in her garden.
