Crikey! 'Crocodile Hunter' daughter gets own doll
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Emmy-winning daughter of the late "Crocodile
Hunter" Steve Irwin is getting her own doll.
The 10-inch Bindi Irwin doll sports khakis, puffy pigtails and hiking
boots, and comes with binoculars, a camera and other outback gear, as
well as a cockatoo, wombat and python.
A talking version of the Bindi doll uses such phrases as, "Crikey!
Let's go help wildlife," and "You can make the world a better place."
The rubber dolls will cost $15 to $20, with a portion going to help
fund efforts to breed endangered species and rescue animals. They are
expected to be in stores in September.
Wild Republic, a division of K&M International Inc., based in
Twinsburg, Ohio, is developing the doll. The company marketed a Steve
Irwin doll several months after the Australian TV show host died in
September 2006 from a stingray barb that pierced his chest.
Bindi Irwin's career began with appearances on her father's shows and
later expanded to live music performances and child-fitness DVDs.
"Bindi the Jungle Girl," a child-friendly version of her father's
show, began in June 2007 on the Discovery Channel. Bindi, 9, won a
Daytime Emmy last month for the show and also a Logie, an Australian
TV award, in May for most popular new female talent.

They're definitely branding the little spud, aren't they?

just be obnoxious to a select few. The mother really needs to be
reined in.
Disgraceful.

Is he all over the place like her? After her dad was killed you
couldn't get the little brat off TV....it was like she forgot who her
father was while she was taking a bubble bath on Larry King Dead.

Bindi grates on the nerves, surely, but she's far more tolerable than
Miley Cyrus as far as I'm concerned. When I talk to kids they tell me
that Bindi is "cute", but only in "small doses". Miley, on the other
hand, is considered by many to be a talentless fake and a lot of their
parents, relatives, nannies, etc. agree. Bindi's just hella' hyper.
Miley is hyper, ugly and totally full of herself.
(Where do these parents come up with these names, BTW? Bindi and
Miley? These parents are trying to stuff five lbs. of sugar into a
four pound sack. They're nuts. Bindi's brother is "Bob". WHO calls an
infant when he's first born or a toddler "Bob" as if he were an old
man? It's always Robby or Bobby, but nooooo, not with Steve Irwin's
kid. According to the Irwins, he needs to have an old geezer name that
sounds like a yellow googly eyed cartoon character.)

Mmm Hmmm. Right. So obnoxious that he's ALL you discuss whenever you
come back to the NG, Tattie. He's not just merely "a kid" to you,
really. He's one that you'd love to sit on your lap, unfortunately.
You just can't put a lid on it about him to the point where your
comments start to look a little suspicious. He's your hero, face it.
