BEIJING, April 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Fans of the New Jersey band Bon Jovi will be able to take half the group home with them beginning in August.

    That's when frontman Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora get down-sized to join McFarlane Toys' line of action figures. The action figure dolls will sell for 10 U.S. dollars and 12 dollars.

    The Tempe, Ariz.-based firm worked closely with the Bon Jovi principals to select the proper pose, accessories and facial expressions. However, Bon Jovi second bananas drummer Tico Torres and keyboardist David Bryan did not get downsized.

    In the past, McFarlane Toys has issued action figures of such groups as Kiss, Metallica and Motley Crue -- with all the members of those bands' lineups getting dolled up.
