Yes! They hunt him here, they hunt him there...but Thisiscollecting.com has found him!

Comical Ali has been located and immortalised in Stoke on Trent at Kevin Francis's Facepot Factory. Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf, the Iraqi Information Minister, added his very own peculiar Alice in Wonderland humour to the Iraqi war with fantastical statements including, "We are Winning!" and "There are no Americans in Baghdad!" - at the same time TV around the world was broadcasting pictures of the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue in the centre of Baghdad and American GIs lighting up their cigars at the check-in counters at Baghdad Airport!

To date, none of the British manufacturers have issued any commemoratives for the Iraqi war despite the long tradition in this country of issuing plates and mugs to mark historic events. Don't miss this chance to own your very own Comical Ali complete with his now immortal sayings.

Comical Ali will be the first limited edition Facepot and just 196 Comical Ali Facepots will be made to honour Comical Ali's quote...."The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target."

Of the 196 Comical Ali Facepots that have been commissioned the following are to make up the edition size:

** 156 will bear the quote "We are winning!" - Comical Ali
** 40 will bear the quote "There are no Americans In Baghdad! - Comical Ali
The 40 have been chosen as a mark of respect to Comical Ali in recognition of his 40 years service to the B'aath Party which he joined in 1963.

The Facepot sees Comical Ali in his official uniform with his trademark glasses and clenched desperately thumping home an assortment of weird and wonderful sayings as British and American troops bring down the Iraqi regime.

Don't miss out on this very special limited edition which is sure to sell out quickly given that it is the only British made commemorative to mark Comical Ali's contribution to the Iraqi war. Rumour has it that Comical Ali will appear at Rosemont in the next few weeks so make sure that you order your Comical Ali Facepot before he sells out on his American Tour!

All Comical Ali Facepots will be sent out at random including the Gold Backstamp editions and a few where Comical Ali is trying to cleverly disguise himself by wearing 10 silver glasses instead of gold ones!
