Jack Bauer Doll Delayed: Sutherland Set Fire To '24' Doll<\/b><\/p>\n
Kiefer Sutherland only has himself to blame for the delay of his 24<\/i> action figure - he set fire to the prototype during a drunken night out.<\/p>\n
The action man's new figure has been developed by McFarlane Toys and will hit stores later this year, but the mini-Jack Bauer should have hit shelves much earlier.<\/p>\n
Sutherland explains, \"They tried to come out with one a couple of years ago and they had sent me the doll for my approval... We took the doll out for a night to have some fun and we'd had some drinks. We sat it on the corner of the table.<\/p>\n
\"We started torturing him around 11 o'clock at night, and, by two o'clock in the morning, we had set him on fire in the parking lot.<\/p>\n
\"We got up the next day and there was just this puddle of wax. His clothes didn't burn, which I thought was pretty cool... and then I got a call the next day saying, 'Did you like the doll?' I said, 'Yeah, it was great.' And they said, 'Well, Ok, good, you gotta send it back to us because that was the prototype... It took that guy a year to make it.'<\/p>\n
\"I said, 'Well, let me look for it, I think I left it in the trailer.' This went on for about a week and then I had to just kinda come clean.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Imagine that poor guy who did all the work. We'd send him our condolences, if McFarlane wasn't afraid to credit his sculptors.<\/p>\n
