Jack Bauer becomes a doll

20th Century Fox has concluded a new licensing agreement to release dolls based on 24 star Jack Bauer.

The action figures are taken directly from scenes from the drama, which is about to begin its sixth season in the US and UK.

"Without question, 24 is one of TV's biggest cliffhanger programmes," said Todd McFarlane, CEO of McFarlane Toys, who will create the dolls. "Kiefer Sutherland does an amazing job as Jack Bauer, the biggest reason people tune in each season. I know a lot of fans will be excited to hear about us making figures of one of TV's top action stars."

Two dolls are currently in production, for release in August and December respectively.
