Military action figure sells out in Bridgewater


A popular Canadian Forces action figure has sold out in Bridgewater. Miller Optical was carrying a few hundred of the collectibles, but sold their last one last week. Owner Tom Burlock says it only took a few weeks to sell the action figures, which honour the army, navy and air force. One of the creators of the figure, John Alan Sperry, says they're close to selling all 6,000 they originally made. Once they sell out, Sperry says a presentation will be made to give part of the proceeds to the 'Soldier On Fund' for military personnel and families of injured members. He hopes a new batch of action figures will be ready to sell by the early spring.
