JON BON JOVI and his bandmate RICHIE SAMBORA will join the likes of KISS and OZZY OSBOURNE when action figure dolls are made in their likeness. The KEEP THE FAITH musicians have teamed up with MCFarlane Toys to create the dolls, which have been designed with clothing choices and facial expressions specific to the stars in mind. Fans of BON JOVI drummer TICO TORRES and keyboardist DAVID BRYAN however, will be disappointed to learn that they were left out of the plans.

The dolls will probably make better records ....
Any chance they could be voodoo dolls? I'll buy my own pins....

I doubt it Gazza. McFarlane Toys do make good action figures. The Kiss, Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, and Ozzy Osbourne figures look very good. I never bought those figures and I don't think I'll even consider buying Bon Jovi figures.

Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, a billion different versions of KISS, Jim Morrison, Elvis, Angus Young, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, cartoon versions of the beatles etc etc. MCFarlane has been creating music figures for a while now, and a company called NECA is following in their footsteps, bringing an AC/DC boxset, Kurt Kobain, Jimi Page, Freddy Mercury, John Lennon, and Iron Maiden.
HOWEVER, what i dont get, is why there arnt any Stones figures. They'd be amazing, figures now from 2006 ABB tour, and figures from like..72 when they were young and reckless.
Either a company hasnt approached the stones with an idea like that...or the stones wont sell/sign off their likenesses, i dont know. I think the stones should get together with NECA and do the same thing Bon Jovi is doing. Hell, if Bon Jovi deserves action figures of themselves, the stones sure as hell do too, the stones are very..characture like, something the beatles lacked, a defining feature to each of themselves, makes them stand out and original.
I think Rolling Stones action figures would really sell, each coming with a microhpone stand, different guitars, amps, mic with a couple hats maybe from the tour, different outfits, charlie with his entire drum kit, moving base with the plexiglass, haha
PS: i wouldnt mind seeing Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson action figures either, amazing musical icons, deserving figures.

They did have Michael Jackson dolls back in the '80's. I did have one of those, but Emmanuel Lewis was not included.

If you want Stones dolls, you can find some on rs.com. They're vile.
Seriously - you think having action figures of your favourite rock n roll band is some kind of badge of honour?
