One has been made before, if you check the toriblog August 2009 one of the blogs shows pics of one of the users' action figure toris... if it costs to make the toris and manufacture them, they can always price them higher, maybe $15 and then they'll still make profit..
If they had to release them in South African stores too, it would drastically increase the population of the game, therefore bringing more customers too.. (I showed one of my friends Toribash and he downloaded it straight away, so if he liked it, I guess most South Africans wikl probably like it? )
