The Sugababes are launching a Barbie collection which is expected to outsell dolls by Girls Aloud.
Each band member has created a doll's look including clothes, hair colour and skin tone.
Toy manufacturer Mattel expects the Sugababes' dolls to outsell Barbies designed by Girls Aloud which went on sale in November 2005.
Kirsty Bullen, girls' marketing manager at the firm, said: "Hot off the success of Barbie designed by Girls Aloud, the new Sugababes collection is going to do even better.
"We have doubled our order as we sold out so quickly last time and we want to make sure that all the Sugababes fans everywhere can get their hands on these brilliant dolls."

Quote:
Girls Aloud have sparked a health warning to young fans after showing off tiny waists in corset-like belts.
The girl band were pictured in the elasticated belts as they filmed a TV advert for Sunsilk haircare products.
A spokesman from eating disorders' help group Beat said fans could be encouraged to copy the skinny look: "They look unnaturally thin - they look like Barbie dolls."
But a spokesman for their record label Polydor told the Daily Mail: "The girls are all perfectly healthy and are all different shapes and sizes.
"They have always spoken about and promoted healthy eating habits."
And a spokesman for Unilever, who make Sunsilk products, added: "The girls were wearing strong elasticated waist belts with elasticated black bodystocking-style skirts."
The girls will earn £250,000 each from the advertising deal, which will see them star in a TV ad and print campaigns for Sunsilk from June.

DAILY STAR
GORGEOUS Girls Aloud let their hair down yesterday as they celebrated landing a £4million advertising deal.
The five singers have become the faces of the Sunsilk haircare brand. And the bubbly babes knew the perfect way to celebrate – they dressed in their sexiest skintight mini-dresses to blow soap bubbles.
The girls were mobbed by fans as they arrived at the 24 Club in London’s Soho to crown the deal. Sarah Harding, 25, Nadine Coyle, 21, Cheryl Cole, 23, Kimberley Walsh, 25, and Nicola Roberts, 21, then posed for some hot shots, before heading off for a night out clubbing.
The deal was struck after the pop beauties featured in a special photoshoot for the brand. Bosses were so impressed, they offered them a year-long advertising campaign, as well as sponsoring the girls’ tour in May.
The ad campaign will kick off on June 1.
Kimberley said yesterday: “We are really happy to be doing this. Obviously our looks are important to us and we all love to have really sexy shiny hair.â€
But the girls agreed that Sarah’s blonde tresses were the best. Cheryl said: “We love Sarah’s hair and we all think it’s really funky and sexy. She has definitely got the best hair out of all of us.â€
But modest Sarah said: “I like the other girls’ long locks. I only cut mine s*** because it was knackered with all the treatments I’d had done to it!â€
THE SUN
GIRLS ALOUD look more like Curls Aloud – after sealing a £1.2million hair contract.
The group posed in a range of different coloured frocks after signing a contract to promote Sunsilk shampoo.
KIMBERLEY WALSH, CHERYL COLE, SARAH HARDING, NADINE COYLE and NICOLA ROBERTS will each back a different type of hair product during the one-year deal.
Sunsilk say they are delighted with the girls.
And after earning 1.2million I bet the girls are feeling pretty chipper too.
DAILY MIRROR
THEY'RE not exactly noted for their shyness or modesty.
But Girls Aloud stars Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh came over all coy yesterday.
The pair struggled frantically to hold down the hems of their bum-skimming mini-dresses as they climbed out of a limo.
Kimberley, 25, giggled after she pulled her skirt down over her knees - then nearly fell out of her top.
The sexy singers kept everything s*** and sweet as they and bandmates Nadine Coyle, 21, Nicola Roberts, 21, and Sarah Harding, 21, turned up for a photo-s*** in Soho, central London.
AdvertisementThey posed only briefly after landing a contract with Sunsilk worth £250,000 to each of them.

She's still recovering from foot surgery, but that hasn't stopped Cheryl Cole putting the boot into Justin Timberlake.
He is in the UK to work on Madonna's new album, but 24 year old Cheryl has no desire to hang out with the hunk.
"I don't want to meet Justin Timberlake, I've heard he's such a d*** head," she confided at Thursday's West End launch of Girls Aloud's £1.2million Sunsilk contract at the 24 club.
"He's in town and probably everybody wants to meet him, but not me. I'm not into these people who think just because they are huge they can act like prats." Ouch!
Chezza was also involved in another fracas - on leaving the party the girls' limo hit a police car and a cop told them off. Tut, tut...

GIRLS Aloud are refusing to go quietly—and have mapped out plans to keep themselves in the spotlight after the band splits this summer.
The five-piece will break up after five years in September, but all the girls are determined to make it big when they go solo.
Sarah Harding, 25, wants to break into acting—and dreams of becoming a Bond girl.
Success
Sarah said: "Acting is an avenue I want to explore. I'd love to be in a Bond film."
Irish babe Nadine Coyle, 21, wants to act too. She hopes to move to Los Angeles and appear on the small screen—and be near boyfriend Jesse Metcalfe, the Desperate Housewives hunk.
Kimberley Walsh, 25, and Nicola Roberts, 21, both plan to become high-flying businesswomen.
Cheryl Cole, 23, will stay in the music business, aiming for solo success.
An insider said the girls, who have a Greatest Hits tour coming up in May and June, will go their separate ways in September after a series of summer festival appearances.
The insider added: "The band will finish this year and all the girls are focusing on what they want to do next.
"They all feel they've done their time in a pop band and have taken it as far as they can go.
"Like the Spice Girls, they won't announce they've split, just that they have ‘taken a break'."
Last year the News of the World revealed that the group was on the verge of breaking up because of arguments between Nadine and Cheryl, Chelsea star Ashley Cole's wife.
Record bosses persuaded the band — formed five years ago on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals—to stay together.
The Greatest Hits tour and bumper CD sales will bank them a cool £3million before they split.

TOP British girl band Girls Aloud have been added to this year's Beaulieu Summer Pops star line-up.
The band will headline on Saturday July 7, sandwiched by The Australian Pink Floyd Show on Friday and Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra featuring Lulu on Sunday, as announced in Scene South last week.
The Beaulieu Summer Pops is returning for its third year in the New Forest with a huge weekend music festival to be held in the spectacular grounds of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.
Pop starlets Girls Aloud will be making their Beaulieu debut this year.
With 14 Top 10 singles and three number ones in the UK singles chart and record sales in excess of 3.9 million in the UK alone, Girls Aloud, originally brought together for ITV1's Popstars The Rivals show five years ago, have become a pop phenomenon.
The group, consisting of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, have gone on to become one of the most successful pop groups of their era.
"We're honoured to be asked to play such a beautiful place like Beaulieu," said Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding.
"It will be an amazing night for all of us."
The band's recent greatest hits collection saw all of their singles included, from the number ones, Sound of the Underground and I'll Stand By You, to the brilliant Love Machine, Biology and Jump.
Live, the band have wowed arena and festival crowds alike with their spectacular stage show.

Sarah out with Lady Hervey
in Girls Aloud
Posted
It's been a while since we've seen party girl Sarah Harding out on the town. Well, two weeks to be precise.
The Girls Aloud caner had a heavy session with her regular drinking buddy Lady Victoria Hervey last night.
The pair must get on like a house on fire because, after dancing the night away at Movida nightclub, the girls headed back to Lady V's place in Chelsea.
Perhaps she has a PlayStation 3 or a fabulous table tennis table. More likely, however, the pair had a right old girlie chat for a few hours.
In the end Sarah left at 4am, looking tired and clutching a bottle of water. To be fair to the girl, though, she looked pretty good for someone who had spent several hours on the lash.
