With the Alexander the Great action figure, you can bring all of the fun of Oliver Stone's Alexander home before the film hits theaters on November 24th. The toy's a little pricey (a reported $150 million, without accounting for studio budgetary trickery), and early reviews indicate that it falls apart after about an hour and a half of play. Note: Even if you order it now, they can't guarantee that the shipping won't be delayed for two weeks as the designers tinker with his skirt, fearing that the "adventurous" Alexander will try to play with both your Barbie and Ken dolls. (They wouldn't want to turn off toy collectors in the red states or hurt their chances at awards time.)
