My doll has 'let me down'....What are my consumer rights ?

Hi all,
Last week, I bought a doll in London.
When I got it home, I found that I had two problems as detailed below :
1. The doll is not as advertised in the shop, which promoted it as looking like Kylie Minogue. It looks more like Anne Widdecombe. As I'm sure you will all appreciate, I luv Anne in Strictly Come Dancing but not as a doll !
2. The doll has a slow puncture. I keep on pumping it but it just goes flat after a few minutes. I try again a few minutes later but I just get the same result.
I must be honest and advise that I am feeling very deflated with the above as I am finding it very difficult to keep my pecker up ! After all, how would you feel if you bought an Anne Widdecombe that kept letting you down ?
What are my consumer rights ? Can I return it to the shop under the Sales of Goods Act ?
I would appreciate advise, because the wifey is now having to help me keep it inflated and she wants a quick fix to save her breath !:):)

You'd have more fun trying to return that USED than when I took a bog seat back to Argos and slapped it on the counter :rotfl:
Bet your bog seat didn't look like Anne Widdecombe or perhaps it did ?

many plasters to cover the holes.. Always dip in a bath of water to find the leak - a bit like a tyre.
