Former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi Inspired Doll faces Backlash

A Zozibini Tunzi inspired doll is causing a stir on social media as many fans believe the new figurine looks nothing like our national treasure.

The doll was created by a renowned celebrity doll maker of Nigydolls in honor of the longest-reigning Miss Universe.

Embodying Zozibini’s jaw-dropping look at this year’s Miss Universe pageant, Lankan dressed the doll-like the true Beauty queen in her Xhosa-inspired black and white beaded.

Despite the Sri Lankan’s honorable gesture, the doll has since been making the rounds on social media for all the wrong reasons as many feel like the figurine looks nothing like the high celebrated beauty queen.

Some social media users even went as far as claiming that the doll was not a true representation of an “African woman” and criticized it for appearing too Asian.

It's 2021, yes we expect that.

If you can't make it look like her simply don't do it. pic.twitter.com/TuksRFccaA
