Pia Wurtzbach

The Miss Universe 2015 titlist will always be remembered for putting an end to the country's 42-year drought in the prestigious global pageant. While the Madame Tussaud wax figure is incomparable, a doll figure created by fan Ian Mendajar deserves special mention as well.

“@piawurtzbach gave me and all the Filipinos the best Christmas gift after winning the Miss Universe 2015 title and now it's my time to give her a Christmas gift. Hello Universe! Please welcome MISS UNIVERSE DOLL, a doll version of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach,” Ian wrote on Instagram.

The toy was never mass-produced and we're not sure also how many were made.
