The John Belushi action figure comes with breakthrough doll technology; Realistic Arching Eyebrow Action, activated by several stimulating substances. This allows the Belushi figure to surpass other action figures with an amazing, yet subtle intensity. John Belushi comes dressed in his Bluto oufit, in character with his “Animal House” role, but this is one doll you definetely want to by the auxilary outfits for: Joliet Jake Blues, Bee, Samurai Warrior, Cheeburger guy, and Joe Cocker; endless hours of high-octane play are to be had with the mere change of outfits. Other companion action figures include: Dan Ackroyd, Robin Williams, Robert De Niro, and the Limited Edition Doug Kenney. Morbid Details not included. Head on to Betty Friedan ---
