Our Hawaiian girl figure is a high quality 16.5cm dashboard doll.
She dances and hulas as your vehicle's motion transfers to a hidden spring under her skirt. The dashboard doll figure has been hand sculpted then crafted into a polyresin mould and hand-painted for a great finish. She wears a natural hula skirt, has a beautiful Hawaiian lei around her neck and holds a Ukulele.
Place her on your car dashboard and watch her hula. The dashboard doll is a great fun car accessory!
