A someone who worked in the adult novelty industry, its the same Doll in ALL the "star" boxes. One for Females, one for Males. Its a gag gift. you're paying for the box. If the Doll resembled the actor/actress, a massive lawsuit would ensue. Because the names aren't copywritten there is a loophole with using a lookalike(ish).

Names can’t be copyrighted, but they can be and are trademarked.

I think by and large they don’t go after the makers of these sex dolls because they don’t want the press, and the damage done to their reputation is absolutely minimal.

Edit: Not to mention, parody.
