Expectations were high with the Muhammad Ali line, then Ali was a household name even with even his own animated series.
Sadly, as Neal Kublan explains, the line was not a good seller "A failure, it did not do well." much of it he sadly blames on the times and particularly the white toy buying public.
While Mr Kublan has colorful annecdotes about the negotiations for the doll, he only has praise for the man himself "(Ali) was one of the most terrific and fascinating persons I ever (met)" he adds "He was on time, professional, a gentlemen."
