Grammy-winning South African superstar Tyla has reached another major career milestone after landing her very own Bratz Celebrity Collector doll.
The Bratz x Tyla doll will make its first public appearance on 24 July 2026 at a Bratz pop-up shop inside FAO Schwarz on Rockefeller Plaza in New York. The launch takes place on the very same day Tyla releases her highly anticipated sophomore album, APOP*, making it a double celebration for the global star.
Fans attending the launch will have an extra reason to celebrate. The first 100 people to purchase the doll in person will receive the chance to meet Tyla and have their dolls signed during a special meet-and-greet.
Collectors who are unable to travel to New York will still have an opportunity to own the limited-edition doll. It will be available for general sale on Bratz.com from 27 July at 8am PT (5pm South African time) for $75 (approximately R1 236). Wider retail availability is expected to follow, although at the time of writing there has been no confirmation on whether the doll will be sold in South Africa.
The exciting announcement is especially meaningful because it fulfils a dream Tyla shared with fans two years ago.
Back in 2024, after spotting a Bratz doll she loved, the Grammy-winning singer posted on X:
“Imma have my own Tyla doll one day. This cute affff.”
That dream has now officially become a reality.
The collectible doll celebrates two of Tyla’s most iconic fashion moments. One look recreates her unforgettable “Sands of Time” appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, featuring a sculptural strapless gown designed to resemble cascading sand, along with a miniature hourglass purse.
The doll also comes with a second outfit inspired by Tyla’s high-energy stage performances. The look includes a tie-front crop top, a shimmering sequin skirt and a gold chain belt finished with a signature Bratz charm.
Tyla also shared her excitement on Instagram, reflecting on how a dream she once tweeted about has become reality.
“I finally got my own doll. Everyone who is an OG remembers when I tweeted that one day I’m going to have my own doll. I got my Bratz doll limited edition. I’m the first African to have a Bratz doll.”
The special release marks another historic achievement for the South African singer, who continues to make waves on the global stage. From winning a Grammy to inspiring a collectible doll, Tyla’s journey is proving that dreams shared with the world can one day come true.
