Forget saving—come this summer, kids and creepy aging fanboys alike can do whatever they want to the cheerleader.
NBC has teamed up with Mezco Toyz to launch the first batch of collectible figures based on the Heroes characters.
Hayden Panettiere's cheerleader Claire Bennet, Masi Oka's time- and space-bending office drone Hiro Nakamura, Milo Ventimiglia's absorbent Peter Petrelli, Sendhil Ramamurthy's erudite Mohinder Suresh and Zachary Quinto's villainous Sylar are the characters that made the initial cut and are set to debut in all their seven-inch glory in June.
The remainder of the superpowered set will be released in two additional waves over the course of the year, as will—most potentially disturbingly—an assortment of alternate heads for the dolls, which will cost between $17 and $20.
Living out adolescent fantasies in the privacy of one's own home...priceless.

they could have done a little better job creating the dolls, i can't believe they are gonna charge that much for them!!! toys of real people are always hard to create, but i might say that the kimora doll actually turned out pretty well, as well as the snoop dogg one.

Looks like the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer action figure got mixed in with this batch on the far right.
