Toys/games

In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Doll. It became one of the biggest-selling dolls of all time, next to the ever popular collector Spice dolls. Also, Britney's Dance Beat is a dance game featuring five of her songs, for the PlayStation 2, PC and Game Boy Advance.

Doll

The Britney Spears Doll is a doll made in the likeness of pop singer superstar Britney Spears. It is one of the most popular celebrities dolls made.

In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Fashion Doll. It was the first product ever released by this toy company. The doll featured Britney Spears with different outfits, make-up and hairstyles from her concerts, appearances, photoshoots and music videos. Yaboom Toys also made a singing Britney Spears doll that would "sing' when you pressed a button on her belly. A porcelain doll was also made, as well as miniature dolls.

The doll quickly became one of the hottest toys of the year and holiday season. Millions of the dolls were sold and they were the first and biggest selling toy for Play Alongs Toys. The doll was popular due to the fact they were released at the peak of Britney's fame. The doll line went on to break all records for sales of an individual personality doll.

Video Game

Britney's Dance Beat is a one or two player music video game featuring songs and video appearances by Britney Spears. The story is that players must pass "auditions" to tour as Britney's dancers. The Game's engine is based on Enix's Dance Summit 2000, the third Bust a Groove/Move game.

Gameplay involves pressing buttons in time with music. Symbols for buttons are arranged in a circle, resembling a clock dial. A pointer sweeps around the dial, indicating when to press each button.

The game contains only five songs: "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Stronger", "Overprotected" and "I'm a Slave 4 U". Successful play is rewarded with "backstage passes" which unlocks features such as backstage video footage of Britney.

There's also a video vault. When you complete auditions you get backstage passes to unlock 360 immersive videos and behind the scenes footage.

The game also includes various remixes during behind the scenes footage, menus, and credits. It also has photoshoots during credits.

A game by the same name was released for the Game Boy Advance and PC.
