Deceased croc hunter Steve Irwin will be immortalized as an action figure. Maybe he’ll even score a posthumous date with Barbie.

It’s been revealed the talking doll will be officially unveiled at a toy fair in New York in February 2007. The Irwin family and the Australia Zoo have approved the doll to be made by Wild Republic, reports E Canada Now.

“We all know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. Now it’s our turn to help him,” Irwin’s daughter Bindi, a budding star in her own right, said in a statement.

The talking toy will retail for $22 US.

Steve Irwin died this year after being impaled by the barb of a sting ray while filming an underwater special.
