American doll-maker Mike Fosella has sparked controversy by unveiling a line of Nazi Action figurines. So far Adolf Hitler and Joseph Mengele, the concentration camp doctor dolls have been produced. Fosella plans further figures of Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler and propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

Ken Jacobson, director of the American Anti-Defamation League, told the New York Daily News: “The people who are most interested in these things are probably the ones with sinister intention. The collectors’ items are said to be accurate to the smallest detail, with resin cast heads and plastic bodies with enough pivot points to allow them to give Nazi-style salutes.

The entrepreneur came under fire for his foot-high dolls which were unveiled at New York’s toy fair in 2001.
