FROGDAMMIT! WANT!!

I want this badly. With that level of detail I would buy a Dick Cheney action figure as well.

/I mean he needs villains

Cheney may suck at karaoke, but who's going to tell him, and risk getting fried by those lighting bolts that shoot out of his fingers?

/I'd buy a Cheney action doll if it had that feature.

The katanas & .45 are cool, but where's the blackberry? Details people, details.

[nitpick]
Since Obama is left handed, wouldn't his watch be on his right hand?
[/nitpick]

Is it a master of karate and friendship for everyone?

Mmmmmhmmmmmmm. Where is the supporting cast?

Hi-i-i-gh hopes, they've got hi-i-i-gh hopes...

I want one for the office just to further enrage the few butthurt republicans.

RevMercutio: [nitpick]

[/nitpick]

No. At least, not necessarily. I'm left-handed and I've never worn my watch on my right wrist.

Also, GIS indicates he normally wears it on his left wrist.

Umm, Dick Cheney IS Darth Vader.

This is actually a custom made figure made by a fan in Japan. I know because the super famicom shown in one pic only comes in capsules found in a shop in Akihabara, Tokyo.

So you'll probably NEVER own it. Sorry. =P

Obama doesn't need a lightsaber and a shotgun to fight evil. He has an army of millions, backed up by "the right side of history". That should be enough.

/personally though, I might pack the lightsaber just in case

Okay, now the Obamallatio is getting creepy....

WaltzingMathilda: I've said it before and I'll say it again. It wasn't Obama's supporters who thought he was a superhero, it was his detractors..

Still makes me laugh.

O RLY?

It's made by DiD. Sixty bucks (new window). Tard.

NYZooMan: Hi-i-i-gh hopes, they've got hi-i-i-gh hopes...

...and today is the day when NYZooMan tries to use a cultural reference to indicate that, once again, all he sees are people saying "hope". Using a song where the ant that had high hopes found a way to move the rubber tree plant.

Probably with the use of millions of other ants that did the ant equivalent of rolling up their sleeves and doing something, instead of biatching like a whiny little girl.

You'll also remember that, in the song, a ram takes down a billion-kilowatt dam. Unlike the failed deregulated power companies in California (who took the dams off-line for "maintenance" in times of high demand in order to drive up demand even further (and thus drive up market prices where they WERE generating electricity, selling it back to the market where the "maintenance" took place).

But don't just take my word on that last one. A Nobel Prize winning economist describes it better than I just did. (^)

In summary: may I recommend you put some sugar in those sour grapes. Or if you're making the whine regardless, have some cheese with it.

KiesteredBeetle: It's made by DiD. Sixty bucks (new window). Tard.

Nice. Want.

Also want the sword, and guns, but those don't appear to come with the Obama model.

If you're not going to accept information from the real world you're living in, even if (in this instance) it's as limited a 'world' as a single thread on one website, you might want to open those peepers and take a look around.

Just saying.

It's supposed to be a free market. Why don't some 'rugged individualists' stop whining that someone else is (quite literally in this case) getting the coolest toys and make one themselves. Or pay someone else to have a Two-Term GWB Doll made for them.

That's what made this country great, you. People doing things that are insanely possible (instead of wondering if it should be merited).

And if there's a market for the GWB doll, they'd sell. You could make a killing in profit if there's a market for them and you get one rushed out.

You'll notice the word "if" appears a lot there. That's the beauty of the free-markets that Progressives and Liberals understand. It's not enough just to have blind faith in The Markets to make them work to your advantage. Our economy from 2001 - 2009 is testament and proof to that.

Possibly. Personally, I think the idea is ridiculous, no matter who it is. It's just someone seeing an opportunity to make $$$ on a popular figure. Whether we like it or not, millions like Bush, Coulter, Obama, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Clinton, JFK, etc, etc. Millions who will purchase a piece of plastic for the low low price of $29.95 (or whatever). It's just consumerism and celebrity worship at its finest. Or maybe they just want a voodoo doll.

But O'Reilly won a Peabody!!

In February of 2001, O'Reilly gave a speech seemingly taking credit for winning a coveted Peabody award while an anchor at the tabloid TV show Inside Edition. After comedian Al Franken pointed out that the show never won a Peabody, O'Reilly retorted, in Mamet-esque syntax (O'Reilly Factor, 3/13/01): "Guy says about me, couple of weeks ago, 'O'Reilly said he won a Peabody Award.' Never said it. You can't find a transcript where I said it."

But on his May 19, 2000 broadcast, he repeatedly told a guest who brought up his tabloid past: "We won Peabody Awards. . . . We won Peabody awards. . . . A program that wins a Peabody Award, the highest award in journalism, and you're going to denigrate it?" (Inside Edition won a Polk Award, not the better-known Peabody, for reporting that was done after O'Reilly left the show--Washington Post, 3/1/01.)

Oh, wait, he didn't. Sorry, my his bad.

No pricing information on the "action figure"? With its level of detail, I wouldn't be surprised if it costs an arm and a leg. Does anyone have the vendor/price info?

Oh, so you admit you were criticizing the Obama doll?!? Because the weasel way you worded it, you just made it sound like Bush should merit one too (although you based your initial 'merit' statement on no criteria). So I was trying to help you define how Bush should currently merit one... but it turns out that wasn't your intent at all. You WERE just whining like a little girl.

It's nice you actually came out ans admitted it. But probably not intentionally.

But if you want to move those old [f]right[ened]-wing goalposts back, and you actually think one is merited (both for achievement and in the market), do something about it.

http://www.andgor.com/Personalized_Figures/personalized_figures.html

Have someone make some, and you can sell them, and let us know if they were warranted in the leading indicator in the world. Money.

Or we can assume that they're not currently merited.

See how easy it is when you cut through the weasel words and get right to the point?

Ummm, WTF?

ekdikeo4: Also want the sword, and guns, but those don't appear to come with the Obama model.

A gun is available, but obtaining it requires undergoing a six-month long background check, submission of a permit application that may or may not be accepted (with non-refundable filing fee), submission of fingerprints to be stored on file and must be capable of accepting no more than ten rounds loaded at any one time. Additionally, the firearm must remain at your place of residence at all times and it must never be assembled into a working configuration for any reason.

Actually, even just the arm and the leg costs an arm and a leg.

This is covered pretty completely under Article 7 of the constitution.

In the scene with him laying under a table, that's a Japanese kotatsu table. Usually they've got heaters in them. You sit with your legs under them to keep warm in the winter-- that's why it's got a blanket on it. You can sleep under them too.
