Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora will be joining a short list of musicians that have been made into figures by McFarlane Toys. This list includes the groups KISS, Metallica, and Motley Crue. Single figures have included Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, and Janis Joplin.

It is expected by many market annalists that believe that the Jon Bon Jovi figure will sell out within a very short period. Many of the fans of Bon Jovi are very fanatical about their favorite group.

According to the McFarlane Toys website, the pair were chosen for representation in action figure form was because of the legacy of the group. With a successful career that has spanned three decades puts Bon Jovi on a very short list of groups that have made history in the music industry.

The site states that the evolution of the group has caused them to bridge generation gaps. Bon Jovi is an, "undeniable force in American rock music."

The Jon Bon Jovi figure will display him with a microphone stand and a guitar across his back. The Sambora figure will include his famous, "double barrel." Both of the figures will include a stand that looks like a stage piece, and will be six inches in height.

As with all McFarlane figure, both the Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora figures will be highly detailed. The figures were both approved by the world famous musicians that they represent.
