For anyone that has followed their story, their rise to success after appearing on X-Factor has shot off like a sky rocket. It was guest judge, former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who suggested that Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam and Louis should be put together as a group at X Factor bootcamp. It was Harry that came up with the band name. They didn’t win X factor, but came in third behind winner Matt Candle and runner up Rebecca Ferguson. They were instantly snapped up by Simon Cowell’s record label Syco. With recommendations by Simon Cowell, and his endorsements, this group of attractive young men has turned the music world on its ears. Their distinct clear vocals have placed them at the top of the charts practically since day one. Their debut single ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ entered the UK Singles Chart at number one selling a whopping 153,965 copies in its first week. It also smashed previous pre-order sales record at Sony Music. ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ has been nominated in the Best British Single category at the 2012 Brit Awards. They’ll find out if they’ve won on the 21st of February. As of today’s date ‘What Makes You Beautiful’, ‘Gotta Be You’ and ‘One Thing’ have amassed over 70 million views altogether on YouTube. Very Impressive!
The band’s rise was aided by the scandalous antics of heart-throb Harry Styles and his well-publicized love-life. The hit band has over 2 million fans that follow them on Facebook and twitter. One Direction, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when ‘Up All Night’ sold over 176, 000 copies during its first week of release in America. Their hit “What Makes You Beautiful” has even captured the attention of President Obama.

There is a One Direction member for everyone’s taste! All five members are available, curls, coifs, and all as fashion dolls, and heart-breaker Harry even comes in two different versions. Each member’s individual styles are shown in their designer choices. From Ralph Lauren polos, Nike airs, to Jack Wills hoodies, the boys sport their distinctive styles even down to designer shoes. What The Spice Girls did for girl bands, and fashion forward thinking, One Direction has exceeded beyond anything that was expected. Their rise to stardom was very nearly an overnight sensation.
The One Direction fashion dolls are on the top 50 predicted best sellers for Christmas this year. With 2 million plus fans, they will be flying off the shelf and current reports indicated that the supply may not meet the demand. Projected sales based on the bands success would have Hasbro doubling, or almost tripling their production. Current supplies for the individual One Direction fashion dolls are better than the boxed set. Checking most retailers, the boxed set is already on back order.
Whether it’s Harry, Louis, Zayn, Liam or Niall that is your favorite One Direction member, everyone will find something here. The dolls are sold individually or can be purchased as the complete set, but as mentioned earlier, they are going fast! Every teen and tween girl will be asking for them. If you are interested in One Direction fashion dolls for yourself or a fan you know, it would be wise to get them as soon as possible.
