bring zac efron home with you!

Still trying to figure out how you can snag that "Ladies Choice" singing Hairspray hottie, Zac Efron? The answer may be as close as your local toy store! Play Along Toys has made these adorable Hairspray dolls of Tracy and Edna Turnblad, Penny Pingleton, Amber Von Tussle, Seaweed J. Stubbs, and of course Link Larkin (if you thought Zac was cute as Link, just look at how adorable his doll is!).

And CosmoGIRL! was lucky enough to be the only magazine to chat with Zac Efron, Nikki Blonsky, and Brittany Snow at the launch of the toys at Toys R Us Times Square last week. What was it like hanging out with the cast backstage at the event?

Well, Nikki waved at us the moment she saw us and shouted, "It's my CosmoGIRL!s!" Awww...we love you too, Nikki! And we quickly learned that if you want to hang out with Zac, you must bring ear plugs! Any time he came even close to a spot where fans could see him, there were screams and shrieks from every direction! (And frankly, we wanted to scream too... but how silly would that look screaming right in his face? So we had to restrain ourselves-heehee!)

Want to get your own Hairspray doll? Simply visit the Play Along Hairspray Dolls web site! Or enter to win a set of Tracy and Link dolls!

What do you think of these dolls? And now that we know what toys Zac, Brittany and Nikki played with... I'm curious what were your favorite toys growing up? (Mine? Care Bears...Cheer Bear is still on my bed! I'm not ashamed!)

Can't wait to hear from you!
