Sally Ride among Fisher-Price's new Little People Collector figures

As the first American woman to fly into space, Sally Ride became one of the largest figures in space exploration history. Now, Ride is being honored with a Little People figure in her likeness.

The 2.5-inch-tall (6.9 cm) Sally Ride toy is part of Fisher-Price's new Little People Collector "Inspiring Women" set, which also includes figures modeled after poet Maya Angelou, aviator Amelia Earhart and civil rights activist Rosa Parks. The $20 set will go on sale at Target stores beginning on Sunday (Oct. 3).
