They have come out with an Archie Bunker Grandchild baby doll...

But they haven't come out with Frasier action figures!

just joking

What the heck?!
Where do you find this stuff?? Or, I guess the real question is, who comes up with this stuff?

OMG, that's funny! But as hilarious as the idea of Frasier action figures is, I'd buy one of Niles in a heartbeat! I can't even imagine what DHP would think of that! His reaction would probably be somewhere between flattery and disbelief!

^^^I'm sure a Niles one would outsell a Frasier one a couple times over. Don't you sometimes wonder what he (DHP) must think of all the legions of women who absolutely adore him? (And that's for real-- I've visited site after site where multitudes of women go on for posts and posts about how much they love him--) I bet throughout the whole run of the series he had all kinds of attention from women, not only because he hadn't publicly come out yet, but mostly because of the way his character treated Daphne, and being such a cutie on top of that. I bet he's got some stories.

I agree and I bet even now he has tons of admirers who are women (myself being one of them!), and who don't care about his personal preferences. He seems like such a sweetheart in person and very caring.

Yep- I've heard of the Joey Stivic doll- there was apparently quite a controversy with its release since it is anatomically correct- but I would expect nothing less of Norman Lear and "All In The Family" - given the nature of that show, it's not surprising.
Yeah- "Frasier" got books and at least one CD released, but no dolls or action figures that I know of- but then, not many sitcoms usually tend to get such items unless they have a huge breakout star. (See Punky Brewster, Full House, Family Matters, etc.)
However, you may enjoy seeing Niles Crane's stint as a crewmember on the U.S.S. Voyager in a "Star Trek: Voyager" sketch.

Maybe a fan out there somewhere will do a custom action figure for the "Frasier" cast. You can always check on Ebay- interesting things pop up on there. Or if you really have the money and desire- you could even commission someone to do one- this guy has done quite a few impressive pieces. (including some for Magnum, P.I. and MacGyver! [though both Magnum and MacGyver got their own official action figure releases as well.])

"This means that no matter what you need in cranes or crane equipment you can come to Niles with the full assurance that we can provide just what your conditions require."

Funny. I wonder if that's a coincidence or if someone associated with the show actually had heard of the company (I don't know... it's pretty old) and thought it was a good name for the character?
