A Rob Ford toy was recently up for bid by eBay seller Nuffsaid78. The Toronto Mayor had become rather infamous after it was revealed that he had smoked crack.
Standing at a height of 6.5-inches with approximately 28 points of articulation, this Rob Ford action figure captures the likeness of the controversial mayor of Toronto with a surprising amount of detail and high quality craftsmanship. The custom-made action figure of the mayor ended up selling for $99.99, though Nuffsaid78 had been hoping for $300. Rather than making him look like a bumbling fool, this Rob Ford toy gives him a more sinister quality, similar to that of a G.I. Joe villain.
Naturally the Rob Ford action figure is not meant as kid's toy, but is intended for adults.
