Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner, is reportedly suing Hasbro Inc. for over 5 million bucks.

According to the lawsuit, the toymaker “willfully and wrongfully appropriated [her] unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain” by making and selling a hamster toy dubbed Harris Faulkner.

Faulkner’s lawsuit claims it bears a physical resemblance to the anchor, including complexion, eye shape and makeup, the AP story said.

More from the lawsuit: “In addition to its prominent and unauthorized use of Faulkner’s name, elements of the Harris Faulkner Hamster Doll also bear a physical resemblance to Faulkner’s traditional professional appearance, in particular tone of its complexion, the shape of its eyes, and the design of its eye makeup.”

Hasbro has not publicly commented.

Faulkner is an anchor and television host for the Fox News Channel.

Faulkner is the anchor of Fox Report and a co-anchor on Outnumbered.
