Slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. will get his own action figure from Mezco Toyz later this year. The company has created a nine-inch replica of the star, complete with a white suit, removable hat, cane and jewelry.

The rapper, real name Christopher Wallace, was gunned down in 1997 after attending a Vibe magazine party in Los Angeles.

The action figure is due in stores this autumn and will also be available for pre-order later this summer on the toy company's website.
