Nothing infuriates me more as a pedestrian than when a cyclist dings their bell at me to move while they are illegally riding on the sidewalk. I don't move: I am allowed to be there, they are not.
So if I heard this bell get dinged by a runner, I would assume it was a bike and ignore it. Perhaps a different sound effect would be better.
I'm in Canada, and, as Ray Perkins said, Canadian Tires have had them for years. They're also at Wal-Mart and Target. I didn't realize it wasn't a more common feature. It makes so much sense.
I did see it. But I guess Sam Worthington is unremarkable enough that I didn't think of him when I saw the figurine. It just looks like a generic dude in a wheelchair.
That headline followed with a photo of an action figure in a wheelchair strikes me as being in poor taste. I read it as "Who the hell would ever want to emulate a character in a wheelchair?" I'm going to guess that there are a lot of people who use wheelchairs that were pretty stoked to see themselves represented.

We Canadians can, unfortunately, pick that tune out anywhere.
