And if only the Hitler's Cross Restaurant in Bombay had only not recently changed its name. They could have opened a little gift shop.

Seriously, overwhelmingly unfunny. [Sarcasm]What are they going to do next, make a "shower room" playset to go with it?[/Sarcasm] Who buys this #$%t anyway?

That's the kind of thing you buy to be able to say "Guys...you'll never believe what I bought" and actually shock the hell out of people.

Must be part of their "Douche Bag" collection, like this one:

Wow.

And at $103, according to the currency conversion calculator, it's a damned expensive way to make your friends say, "you're an idiot."

Who said it was meant to be funny?

In any case, the figurine is rather well rendered. I can't imagine it would ever be used in play(ie a toy), but rather to be looked at. Figurines are frequently made of frivolous things of negligible worth, so why not representations of historical figures? In my opinion it's just one way to inspire talk and discussion about a particularly awful moment of history.

It's just a representation of a man (a terrible one, yes), and not a terrible act (such as would be inferred by the "shower room playset" sarcastically you referred to).

Yeah, that does make him kinda cool. What I really wanted to do was find a John Rocker figure pic, but that loser never earned one. If he did, I bet Mets fans would gladly provide him with the batteries...
