A tribute doll called the Inspirational Caylee Sunshine Doll is now available for purchase for $29.99 and is modeled after the slain toddler, Caylee Anthony.
Jaime Salcedo, president of Showbiz Promotions, the company selling the doll said he wants the doll to be a "tribute" by bringing respect and honor to Caylee's life.
The doll is 18 inches tall, has blonde hair, and is wearing jeans and a T-shirt displaying a sun and the words "CAYLEE SUNSHINE." When the doll's belly button is pushed, it sings the song, "You Are My Sunshine." This is the song Caylee is seen singing in a video released by the family earlier in the investigation.

The company plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the doll to charity, however, Salcedo indicated he has no organizations lined up for this type of transaction as of yet. Salcedo said he is waiting to hear from a number of organizations including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Salcedo anticipates being criticized about the sale and the profit his company will be making on Caylee's death. "I think that that is going to come up," he said. He also indicated that the public does not understand how much it costs to manufacture, ship, and import the doll.
Caylee Anthony’s remains were found Dec. 11, near the Anthony family home and her death was ruled a homicide. Her mother, Casey Anthony, 22, is accused of murdering the 2-year-old girl.
