Remember last February when Justin Bieber chopped off his big clump of hair that swooshed so effortlessly to the right? Of course you do, that moment is indelibly etched in the heart of all Americans.
NEVER FORGET.

But no one took this news harder than Jay Foreman, CEO of toy manufacturer The Bridge District. You know all those Justin Bieber dolls you have lining your shelves, cabinets, and toasters? They made those.
"Made from quality plastics."

Some of Foreman's employees found out about the haircut immediately, as they had Google news alerts set up to immediately notify them of any Bieber news. They laughably claimed the alerts were "for work".
When the news broke, Foreman heard "a lot of shrieks... and people running in and out of their offices.” No word yet on if this was because of the expected financial strain updating the line of dolls would involve or because that's just how people naturally react to Justin Bieber news.
Some animals have a constant reaction to certain stimuli.

Upon seeing the new style, the company had to update their doll design to reflect Bieber's new look. This cost them 100,000 dollars to do. But it was worth it. Can you imagine the type of person who wants to open a Justin Bieber doll on Christmas morning? They are not one to be understanding of the scheduling complexities and necessary lead-times of plastic-based toy manufacturing.
"I swear to God, if this Justin's hair is two thousand and late..."

Thankfully, we have the noble Jay Foreman who is willing to do his best to ensure that every little one who wants an accurate Justin Bieber gets an accurate Justin Bieber, saying “We didn’t want to disappoint fans with a Justin Bieber doll that doesn’t look exactly like him anymore."
They did a good job of conveying the lack of a soul.

Don't get all terrified guys. While the first wave of 2011 Justin Bieber dolls will have the old "always pointing North no matter which way he's facing" hairstyle, while the second wave will have the new 'do. Rest easy, Bieber fans, because soon you'll be able to have the most realistic Bieber visage ever captured in plastic for you to take home and do with as you please.
Please remember this is a privilege and not a right.
Would you have scoffed at an old hair version of Justin Bieber under the tree on Christmas morn? Or is any Bieber doll a good Bieber doll? Speak your mind in the comments!
