“Gilligan’s Island” glamor gal Tina Louise claims Warner Brothers put out a doll based on her iconic TV character Ginger Grant without her knowledge – and he or she feels shipwrecked.
The $12 vinyl doll by Funko was released on Feb. 27 and is the spitting image of the flame-haired Hollywood bombshell, right down to the wonder mark on her cheek.
“Set sail to an island of whacky adventures with Pop! Ginger Grant,” trumpets the ad for the 4-inch figure wearing psychedelic beach garb. “This Hollywood star shines in one in all her many, many, many dazzling outfits. This castaway wouldn’t mind being marooned in your ‘Gilligan’s Island’ collection.”
The actress, who lives in Turtle Bay, only learned concerning the motion figure from her daughter — and when dozens of the mini-me’s began arriving at her home from fans trying to have them autographed.
She happily complied — but wondered who was benefiting from her likeness.
“I’m grateful for what I actually have. I actually have enough. But this just isn’t right,” Louise told The Post.
The enduring beauty — who asked that The Post not mention her age — posted her dismay on Facebook, which has generated 1,200 comments of support.
“I used to be just addressing my fans. I couldn’t take it anymore,” Louise said, adding she “was never brought into the conversation when these toys were being created.
“And as someone who has never received a single residual check for ‘Gilligan’s Island’ in all these years of it constantly running, I’d have hoped that Warner Brothers would have considered me once they were licensing the rights to my likeness on these dolls.”
Louise feels Warner Brothers is taking her for a ride, not unlike the sitcom’s “three-hour tour” famously gone awry.
“Despite the fact that the doll has my red hair and my beauty mark in the identical exact spot on her face, they imagine the doll is made after the ‘character.’ It’s me!” said the girl named the “World’s Most Beautiful Redhead” by the National Art Council in 1958. “So I’m, once more, not being paid for the usage of my likeness and never even getting a licensing fee.”
Louise is the last surviving castaway from the classic CBS show about seven shipwrecked strangers that debuted Sept. 26, 1964.
It lasted 98 episodes and three years but has been in syndicated reruns for many years.
Funko Pop! can also be selling dolls of castaways Gilligan, The Skipper, Thurston Howell III, his wife, Lovey, Mary Ann, and The Professor.
Warner Brothers reps declined to comment.
Within the meantime, the bubbling Golden Globe winner stays busy.
She attended a Manhattan screening of Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” this week and is wrapping up her latest project — the republishing of her 1997 memoir, “Sunday,” in print and as an e-book.
“The major thing is that the reader can hear my voice…I had many emotional moments after I was doing it. It’s powerful stuff,” she said.
In a 2021 interview with The Post, Louise revealed the sort of guy she’d wish to be stuck with on a tropical island in real life.
And it wasn’t Brad Pitt.
“He’d be funny, have a superb heart and money wouldn’t matter if we were stuck on an Island — I like John Oliver (the “Last Week Tonight” host) the starlet said.
