Fans of hip-hop legends Beastie Boys can now purchase action figures of the trio as seen in the Spike Jonze-directed video for their single "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win." As of August 2, the action figures are available for purchase on the band's website, with proceeds going to a children's cancer charity.

The limited-edition toys come in a set of three 11.5 inch dolls complete with outfits and accessories. But they don't come cheap, priced at $750 for the set. All proceeds go to the Pablove Foundation and Alex's Lemonade Stand, two charitable organizations in the US dedicated to fighting childhood cancer.

In May, Beastie Boys released the long-awaited Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, their first non-instrumental full-length in seven years. The new album also includes a collaboration with rapper Nas titled "Too Many Rappers," which was released in 2009 and was nominated for a Grammy Award.

The band has won three Grammy Awards and received critical acclaim for its albums such as Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty, the latter of which topped charts in the US, the UK, and Australia.
