Political Action Figures

With Christmas fever upon us, by now you should have your shopping well under way.And no doubt action figures will be big sellers this year, but not all of them are for kids...

Today's featured site features dolls of former US presidents and political figures from past and present, such as George W Bush and Ronald Reagan.

One tug of the dolls string and the figures quote some of their most memorable sayings. How about good 'ol Ronnie Reagan aping fellow Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood with his mid eighties throwdown "go ahead, tax increasers, make my day."

The makers of George W's doll were spoiled for choice when it came to memorable sayings, but "I believe man and fish can co-exist peacefully" is right up there.

Our own personal favourite here at minibytes hq is the Donald Rumsfeld doll. The former Defence secretary was famous for his ability to answer straight questions with meandering gibberish, such as;

"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know

Forget Barbie and Ken; Rummy is the only doll you need this year.
