The glamourous RuPaul Build-a-Bear doll collaboration has left many fans baffled as it comes with an age restriction.
The bear is inspired by the legendary drag queen who is best known for producing and hosting the popular RuPaul's Drag Race competition series.
RuPaul Bear comes with its own curly blonde wig, a gold sequined gown and gold pumps.
The bear also features the RuPaul's Drag Race logo on its paw and gold eyeliner.
RuPaul took to Instagram to show off the new bear alongside her 'birth certificate' as well as giving high praise for the toy.
