Bin Laden Doll

In 2006, the CIA with the help of a toymaker in China developed three prototypes of an Osama bin Laden action figure doll, seen here is the demonic head. The final version had an unusual feature. The faces of the figures were painted with a heat-dissolving material, designed to peel off and reveal a red-faced bin Laden who looked like a demon, with piercing green eyes and black facial markings. The goal of the short-lived project was simple: spook children and their parents, causing them to turn away from the actual bin Laden. The CIA said it nixed the project before any figures were shipped to South Asia. (Photo by Adam Goldman/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
