Oct. 29 2009, Published 4:47 a.m. ET
Richard Heene hasn't gotten that lucrative reality TV show -- heck, the guy might be going away for awhile on a maximum security vacation -- but the publicity-starved modern-day Mr. Wizard has at least achieved one shard of immortality out of his goofy attempt to become the next Jon Gosselin: an action figure.
Yes, that's right, HeroBuilders, a company that has made dolls of the Gosselin parents, Sarah Palin and the "Don't Tase Me Bro" guy, among others, has made a Richard Heene figure.
The $34.95 doll is a movable figurine with many points of articulation -- and the requisite, "I'm with stupid" T-shirt.
Batteries --- as well as Mylar balloon, Helium tanks, and half of Colorado's federal agencies -- not included.
