Blitzkrieg Toyz in New York City has just shipped 3,000 "El Comandante Fidel Castro" action figures to retailers. The 12-inch, hand-painted dolls are available in two styles: Revolutionary Fidel with jet black hair and beard, and salt-and-pepper Modern Fidel. Blitzkrieg offers the figures to retailers for $45; on shelves, they sell for $65. A recent auction on eBay fetched more than $100.
