Connecticut toymaker is hoping to strike a chord with its "Dope on a Rope" doll, a figure depicting former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in his last moments, with a noose around his neck.

This isn’t the first such undertaking for the company. Herobuilders.com also sells dolls depicting other famous personalities and events, such as Michael Jackson’s dangling his child over a balcony in Germany, as well as Usama bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il and Tony Blair.

The Saddam doll depicts the full-bearded ex-leader wearing a white T-shirt with the words “Dope on a Rope” in red letters and a noose around his neck. It sells for $24.95 on the Herobuilders.com site.

Other versions of the deceased dictator include Captured Saddam, Crack Head Saddam and the Butcher of Baghdad.

Cell phone footage of the execution found its way to the Internet last week, and the depictions of the deposed Iraqi dictator's last moments have been blamed for the copycat deaths of children in several countries.

The "Dope on a Rope" doll, along with the other political dolls produced by Herobuilders.com, seem to be geared toward adults.

1. That's sick, especially when you have kids hanging themselves

to emulate what they have seen on TV. :puke:

2. Oh goody

another way to show kiddies that hanging is ok and fun fun fun! Even if it "seems" to be geared toward adults, how many kids will get their hands on these?

6. My God, these people are an embarassment to our race, not to mention America.

Let's hope horrible people like that meet the same hanging they are going to profit off of.

7. CT toymaker? For once I can honestly say that I'm glad to be in TN.

Of course there are probably some cold, moronic bastards here who will buy this and think it's funny, but at least it wasn't manufactured here.

NE elitists my ass.

8. Go to the link. OMFG these things are UGLY!!!

The guy's definitely a Bushbot...he's got one mold for his "hero" character bodies (imagine Dick Cheney's head or Bush's head on the same body they put on the Arnold Schwarzenegger dolls he sells. Quit cringing. He really sells this shit.) and one for his "villains." Among his villains are Vladimir Putin, Gerhard Schroeder and Jacques Chirac.

The company that makes the Plastic Turkey Bush dolls at least makes a doll whose face slightly resembles the person the doll's modeled after. This Herobuilders guy doesn't even have that much dignity.
