Known around the world for his business savvy, wealth, and penchant for all things "bigger and best," Donald Trump is perhaps the world's most recognizable businessman and the center point of NBC's hit reality show, "The Apprentice." Now he can be yours with the release of the forthcoming Donald Trump 12-inch talking doll.

"The guys from Stevenson Entertainment Group approached me near the end of the first season of 'The Apprentice' and proposed the idea of creating a talking doll," Trump explained. "It was a flattering and fun idea, so I told them if they could make it look like me and sound like me, we should do it."

Using RealScan laser technology, the 12-inch, electronic doll not only features an amazing likeness of "The Donald," but it also incorporates a high-quality, high-capacity digital sound chip that features 17 phrases spoken by Trump himself. From variations of the infamous "You're Fired!" to a handful of phrases and nuggets of business advice taken from Trump's latest bestseller, Trump: How To Get Rich.

"We're all fans of the show here," said SEG President Hugo Stevenson, "and we thought it would be fun to have a talking doll of Mr. Trump. He's a big deal and nobody had done it before," Stevenson continued. "Of course we thought it would be funny to have him say 'You're fired,' but also to sort of give little bits of advice. It's a fun product not only for fans and collectors, but for business people hoping to have some of the Trump magic rub off on them."

In addition to the high-quality digital sound chip, SEG's fully articulated Donald Trump 12-inch talking doll features a custom-made suit befitting the approximately 1/6-scale likeness and will be sold in an attractive collector's box.

"There's a lot of great stuff going on in Chicago these days," continued Trump. "I'm building my incredible new Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. Of course ("The Apprentice" winner) Bill Rancic is from Chicago, and now the Donald Trump doll is coming from a Chicago area company, too."
