Would any permission be needed to do this? I know there are lots of products including dolls with George Bush's image on them. Could a doll of the Saudi King be produced in the US without any laws being violated?

I don't see any Americans wanting to buy that however...

There's nothing Illegal about making a doll of any public figure. The tricky part is figuring out it you will be able to sell it, and if so, will there be any royalties to be paid to the figure you would be profiting from. You also have to make sure that what you're doing is not meant to be a mockery of the figure, i.e. something that would demean, defile, or in any case diss the person you are making the doll after, let alone offend any allies or followers who live in this country. You must also be aware of the danger, this may portray in your personal/physical life if you piss off the wrong person.

Yes it could. But make sure you have three versions, 87, 89 and 92 Supreme.

I don't know. Micky mouse and barbie are copyrighted. I don't know about the king. But watch out. Those Muslims will kill you for spitting on the sidewalk.

I think anything can be produced here in the land of the free. What makes you think it would be illegal? Now whether it would sell or not remains to be seen!

I think so but I wouldn't try it in the Saudi kingdom.

I'd be real careful.
It's a 'cross cultural` thing.
You don't know what's likely to offend
and thus be regarded as damaging.
If you offend him, he's got deep pockets.
