The live-action Little Mermaid splashed onto streaming in September, and Disney fans are also diving deep into movie-inspired merchandise and “mermaidcore” style.
Singer Halle Bailey plays Ariel in the Rob Marshall-directed remake of the classic animated Disney film, which was originally released in 1989 and kicked off Walt Disney Feature Animation’s second Golden Age through the late ’90s. The new movie also stars Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Javier Bardem as King Triton, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula and Noma Dumezweni as the Queen, as well as the voices of Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian and Awkwafina as Skuttle.

The doll is in stock on Amazon.com as of this writing and shipping in time for the holidays. You’ll want to act fast, though, as the $10 deal is not expected to last for long.
