Halle Bailey shared a career milestone Monday when she was shown immortalized as a new Little Mermaid doll.
The 22-year-old singer, who will star in a live-action remake of the classic later this year, took to Instagram to reveal the figure.
Dressed in a hot pink blazer with feathered cuffs, the beauty appeared in a short video and addressed her 4.1 million followers.
‘This is the new Little Mermaid doll!’ he gushed before adding: “This means a lot to me and to have one that looks like me, that’s my favorite Disney character, it’s so surreal.”
The actress wrote in a caption along with the snippet: “The child in me is pinching herself right now.”

He opened the clip by saying, “Today I have something really exciting to reveal to everyone.”
Before holding up the miniature prop, she said, “I’m going to cry.”
Then, speaking in a shaky voice, the vocalist said, “I’m literally choking because this means so much to me.”
Adorably, the cheerleader who is one half of the musical act Chloe x Halle, pointed out, “And look, she even has my mole!”
The Atlanta-raised musical artist unveiled the doll, which wore a blue bodice and matching mermaid tail.
The superstar marveled at her wavy orange-red locks as she said, ‘Look! And the hair, and the tail…’
He also noted about the little toy: “And it can be in the water!” as someone recorded her sitting with him in a chair.
“I’m in a daze so I don’t really know what to do with it, but I’m going to steal this, take it home and hide it forever,” she joked.

Halle’s caption continued: ‘I have my very own Little Mermaid Ariel doll!!! I can’t believe how much my version of this iconic character captures.”
She added a teary-eyed emoji along with pink hearts and finished the message, “now I’m going to cry.”
The artist looked typically gorgeous with her long, braided hair pulled back into a high, braided ponytail.
Her face glowed with a flattering, soft, natural-looking makeup palette that accentuated her features.
Bailey grabbed the doll with gold-manicured hands while wearing a statement gold ring.
Her post quickly garnered more than 130,000 likes from her loyal online followers.
The upcoming feature also stars Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
The plot premise will stick closely to the original, following Ariel’s deal with the sea witch Ursula to have human legs in exchange for her voice.

Deadline reported that last September at D23 Expo Halle he said: ‘I’m sure all of you here can relate to Ariel and how special she is to all of us.
“Being a little girl swimming in the pool, imagining she was a mermaid, I never imagined she would come to life like this.”
Halle talked about filming the iconic scene where she sings Part Of Your World.
‘Three days filming Part of Your World was the most beautiful experience of my life, feeling all the feelings that she feels, her passion, discomfort, everything that she is experiencing.’
