Anthony Weiner Scandal Inspires New 'Action Figure'

By Michael Lopez

Something tells us this newest "action figure" won't be popping up at Toys R Us anytime soon. But nevertheless, HeroBuilders.com’s Anthony Weiner doll is expected to make a great summer gag gift. Bearing a striking resemblance to the disgraced congressman, it comes equipped with everything you remember from the infamous twitpic.

Sporting a bulging pair of boxer shorts with the message "Tweet Me" attached, the Weiner doll has already become a major hit. Whoopi Goldberg brought it out the ladies of The View and got big laughs from the in-studio audience.

"It didn't take long for somebody to cash in on Weiner," she joked.

But before you decide to buy one for your next practical joke, be warned; the Anthony doll comes with a pretty hefty price tag. Hero Builders is charging $34.99 for every Weiner sold.

Do you plan on picking up the Weiner doll? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
