Marie Osmond designs a "fainting doll"

Marie Osmond has designed a "fainting doll".

The porcelain figurine is dressed in a strikingly similar costume to the one the singer wore when she passed out on live television.

Although the doll is meant to be displayed standing up, Marie said it could also be presented flat on its back, mirroring the moment she hit the floor.

Marie, 48, has designed the Adora Samba Belle doll as the latest addition to her range of porcelain dolls.

The design was chosen after the entertainer gave viewers a fright when she collapsed live on Dancing with the Stars last month.

On Saturday, Lisa Hatch, from the Marie Osmond Dolls company, presented the Samba Belle doll on US shopping channel QVC.

"This is the most famous costume on the planet," Lisa said. "Marie, as you know, had a little mishap dancing and fell - she fainted.

"This doll is officially called the Adora Samba Belle doll, but we affectionately call it the fainting doll."

The doll, which sports a blue dress, matching blue eyeshadow and gold heels, was being sold at the discounted price of $89.94.

Lisa said Marie had decided to go on with the sale, despite the death of her father George on December 6.

"You might think it's a little strange that we're selling a doll today, but this doll was scheduled before any of the events happened," Lisa explained.

"Having said that, one thing George Osmond taught his kids was no matter what, the show must go on.

"That's the legacy - one of the great legacies - that George left with his family.

"In honor of George we figured the best way to honour him was to do just that. The show must go on."

She added: "Marie decided to continue with Dancing with the Stars.

"She's learning her dances as we speak - the first day she's had to learn anything because the funeral was yesterday."
