Pyle Doll Snafu Will Be Fixed

Posted
By: The Ernie Pyle doll will be academically correct after all -- eventually.

Packaging for the new doll says Pyle attended Indiana State University. But the journalistic icon in fact attended Indiana University. A Hasbro official said last week that it was too late to fix the error.

But The Indianapolis Star reported that Hasbro has decided to correct the mistake beginning with the next issue of the Pyle doll this fall. It is not known how many copies of the erroneously packaged doll have been produced, or how big the fall distribution will be.
