Before Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces in 2011, his lingering influence in Afghanistan and Pakistan remained a pressing concern for the CIA. The plan was to fight bin Laden and his evil ideology with toys. Specifically, the CIA called upon famed toymaker Donald Levine — the father of G.I. Joe — to produce a terrifying action figure of bin Laden. A special heat-dissolving material was used so that bin Ladens skin would peel off and reveal a satanic devil hiding underneath, complete with evil, reptilian green eyes.
