He has had a following for quite a while. It seems like a long time ago that I first saw Ali G. He has been around for a while, and will continue to be around for a while, I predict.
Would anyone like a Borat figure?

I've been watching his creations in England right from the first appearance of Ali G, and when I went into work the day after he first appeared everyone in work was talking about it. That was, what, six years ago? seven? I think he's genuinely funny and original. And clever too -the guy was at Cambridge University and his brother is an academic there.
Talking of comedians, and Eddie Murphy Trading Places figure would be cool...or a 48 Hours set with Nick Nolte!

Borat's limelight is definitely now limited.
the guys who pull pranks like this are only able to do it til they go mainstream in the US and then everybody knows who they are for the most part. The movie being such a hit is a double edged sword cause it also exposes the joke. For Sacha to keep going he's going to have to do it with another character. And since not everybody watched AliG, i think his Ali G & Bruno characters will be the subject of the next one. Or a new character.
now dont get me wrong. Ive been a BIG Borat fan since the Ali G show. And I would definitely buy a Borat figure in a heartbeat, esp with a voice chip. I just dont want to waste SS's resources on one. Let somebody else put out the gimmick figs. Let SS deal with the quality material.

they could make the exclusive figure a naked figure complete with his naked producer to recreate the classic hotel 'wrestling' scene.
I've never laughed so much at a film in my life as I did with this. I had a sore throat for 2 days afterwards, I was crying in the theatre and could barely breathe.
I want to go back to see it again now, lol
