Parton wrote in the packaging statement, “I have come a long way from that cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, but I am still the same girl of many colors that I was then,” adding that her “corn silk colored hair” had also come a long way.

The museum-only doll was scheduled to become available in the Nashville museum shop on September 29, while the other two designs were offered online, with unsold inventory also available at the museum shop.
Integrity Toys and Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum have launched three limited-edition collector dolls inspired by Dolly Parton's iconic fashion moments. The 12-inch poseable figures, developed with Parton's team over more than a year, draw from her wardrobe archive and incorporate makeup shades from her beauty line Mix 92.9. The dolls honor a lifelong tradition: Parton's childhood corn-cob doll made by her mother inspired her 1970s song "Little Tiny Tassel Top" and sparked the doll industry's decades-long fascination with creating Parton-themed collectibles.
Three Different Designs, Three Different Price Points
The Dreamin' in Gingham doll is limited to 2,000 pieces and costs $165. It features embroidered roses, custom jewelry, Parton's signature necklace, and a sparkly guitar modeled on one she has played onstage WSMV. The World on Fire doll, also limited to 2,000 units, sells for $175 and comes with rhinestone-studded clothing, a faux-leather capelet, and a removable oversized world-map skirt—a design inspired by Parton's 2023 ACM Awards appearance.
The third doll, Diamond in a Rhinestone World, is the rarest at just 1,200 pieces and sells exclusively through the Nashville museum shop Mix 92.9. All three include accessories like microphones and stands. The museum-only doll became available on September 29, while the other two launched online with overflow inventory available at the physical museum location.
Parton's Personal Touch and Museum Collaboration
Behind-the-scenes footage shows Parton herself joking and playing with one of the dolls, offering a rare look at her hands-on involvement beyond the development phase Mix 92.9. In her packaging statement, she wrote: "I have come a long way from that cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, but I am still the same girl of many colors that I was then." She joked that her "corn silk colored hair" had also traveled far since her childhood.
The collaboration ties directly to her museum's mission of celebrating her life and legacy. Parton's original corn-cob doll—handmade by her mother—became a defining symbol of her artistic journey, making these limited-edition figures a full-circle moment WSMV.
Collector Demand Pushes Resale Prices Nearly Triple Retail
The dolls sold out quickly on Parton's official website, with strong collector interest driving the secondary market. Limited-edition Dolly Dolls resold on eBay for nearly $700—nearly triple their retail price Resell Calendar. The rapid sell-through reflects decades of collector enthusiasm for Parton merchandise and the exclusive nature of these museum-backed figures.
