Wow, there are a lot of creative entrepreneurs out there! Not only can the diehard John McCain and Sarah Palin supporters buy buttons, T-shirts, coffee mugs, and mousepads with their favorite images and slogans, but now their kids can play with action figures in their images (or close enough).Herobuilders.com has created action figures for John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Barrack Obama (sorry, Joe Biden fans, there's not one for you). According to their website, the idea came about in 2002 when the owner sculpted a George W. Bush figure and showed it off on his office desk. So many people suggested that he could sell them online that he opened his own business and began producing ones of other political and entertainment personalities. They even make custom figures on demand. In addition to the figures, there are Pez dispensers and plush dolls, too.
The Sarah Palin figure comes in three different styles: executive (seen here), school girl, and super hero. The latter two are more revealing and not for the kids. McCain's action figure (right) is pretty buff for a 72-year-old! The figures are a little pricey starting at $27.95, but they would make great conversation pieces to spark debates with your liberal friends and co-workers.
Here's another custom made doll for the girls posted on eBay. This one is complete with a mirror, podium, pink cell phone and matching laptop, rifle, skirt fatigues, and hockey stick. Bids are already up to $86.00 with three days left!UPDATE: The Sarah Palin Barbie-like doll on eBay sold for--get this--$158.50!
