2. "The Ally" action figure, depicting British Prime Minister Tony Blair, is one of several new action figure designs by Herobuilders. They're not G.I. Joe. A Connecticut toy maker is selling "life-like action figures" based on major figures tied to the Sept. 11 attacks, including U.S. President George W. Bush, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The company, Herobuilders.com, identifies the dolls on its Web site for legal reasons as "Our Hero," "The Rock" and "The Ally," respectively. REUTERS/Vicale Corporation/Handout

I read somewhere that the Blair figure was not selling. Having now seen it, I 'm hardly surprised.

That was the funniest thing...I'm sitting at my desk here in the office laughing all by myself. I don't know what the designers were thinking.
