I don't know...this looks a bit like a hoax to me. The ultimate product page is too janky to be an official product. I can't really figure what the joke or angle is though.

After digging around some more it looks like this might actually be real. The site advertising the dolls is the real Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. I just haven't seen any REAL pictures of the dolls yet. Jeez, why do I care so much??
