Celine Dion is being made into a doll, one that will be sought by fans near, far, wherever they are.

The maker of Barbie announced it was releasing a special edition doll of Dion, 58, as part of its Mattel Creations line. The toy is modeled after the Canadian singer’s 1998 Oscars performance, where she sang “My Heart Will Go On” from James Cameron’s “Titanic” film.

Dion’s doll form has the same hair style, long-sleeved gown from her performance, as well as the Heart of the Ocean, the necklace that was famously featured in the movie.
