'Survivor' doll invades New York toy show

Rudy Boesch (right), one of the original "Survivor" cast members, has now been immortalized in an action figure

NEW YORK (CNN) -- G.I. Joe better keep an eye out, because Rudy's ready for combat.

Rudy Boesch, that cantankerous ex-Navy SEAL from "Survivor," now has his very own doll. Just don't call it that.

"Actually it's not a toy. It's an action figure," the plain-speaking 73-year-old said this week, while promoting his likeness at the American International Toy Fair in New York.

The figure, which Blue Box Toys will begin marketing later this year, has already earned some SEALs' approval for its authenticity.

"They couldn't believe it," he said. "I couldn't believe it, actually."
