New One Direction dolls launched only available in America

Here’s a line-up moulded in the Simon Cowell fashion – and the One Direction dolls aren’t bad either…

The grins on the faces of the band are almost as plastic as the mini-lookalikes they were handed before a Los Angeles gig.

They were clearly trying hard to appear as if they appreciated the dodgy dolls – an updated version only available in the US.

But the figurines have proven to be ­lucrative for the lads, selling out as soon as they hit the shelves last year.

And it looks like Louis Tomlinson, 21, Zayn Malik, 20, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, all 19, have already been splashing some of that cash – on a Hollywood Hills mansion.

The lads paid £17,500 to stay in the plush pad for a week as they celebrate the end of the US leg of their sold-out Take Me Home world tour. And there is certainly plenty of room to party.
