'Choking Hazard' for Democrats: Bush Action Figure

Here's a little item that ought to throw Tom Daschle, Terry McAuliffe, Hillary Clinton and company into an apoplectic rage: A President Bush military action figure is coming soon to your friendly neighborhood toy store.

"When President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln three months ago in a naval flight suit, many commentators believed that the image of the vigorous president on the aircraft carrier would figure prominently in his reelection campaign. What the commentators did not predict is that Bush would become his own G.I. Joe doll," the Washington Post reported today.

The Hong Kong company Blue Box Toys plans to start selling "Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush - U.S. President and Naval Aviator" at KB Toys starting Sept. 15.

"Exacting in detail and fully equipped with authentic gear, this limited-edition action figure is a meticulous 1:6 scale recreation of the Commander-in-Chief's appearance during his historic Aircraft Carrier landing," the promotion gushes.

Says the Post: "For just $39.99, you get a plastic model of Bush wearing flight suit, survival vest and parachute harness, jauntily carrying helmet and oxygen mask - just as Bush did on May 1 after climbing out of his S-3B Viking aircraft. The Bush doll joins many other Navy Seals, Blue Angels and World War II aviators in Blue Box's 'Elite Force' series."

'We Don't Condone the President'!

Appeasement types have already started whining, according to Blue Box mouthpiece Lauri Aibel. "We don't condone or endorse the president, but he fit the criteria of our Elite Force collection. ... It would have to be somebody in uniform, a military hero of some kind, or depicting a military uniform."

Advance orders are zooming in at a record pace, though the company has done no publicity or advertising yet, she said.

Blue Box recommends that only those 14 and older use the Bush action figure, which it says is an "adult collectible item" and not a toy. "It may, in fact, pose a choking hazard for the president's Democratic opponents," notes the Post in a rare display of cheek.

Although that IS funny, I dont know why they say 'a rare display of cheek', when the Post has been showing their ass for decades ;0)

[rabidralph]

The picture is on the Post website. It's gonna cause some swooning all over again.

Adult...LOL. There'll be neo-con hard-ons all over town when this hits the street.

President Bush to demoncraps, Islamo-fascists, and other anti-Americans: I got your choking hazard right here!

[Cobra64]

I never understood how ANYONE would have voted for Jabba-the-Hut-Nadler

[Brasil]

I asked Google for 'Elite Force Aviator--George W. Bush' and there are already many pages of liberals spouting venom about this promotion. LOL!!!

[lelio]

plans to start selling Americans their own sense of patriotism

As long as we're still producing our own bombs I'm happy. Wait: Smart Bomb technology moving to China. I'm not happy any more.

[martin_fierro]

LOL

Although the "Princess Leia In A Chamois Bikini" figure is conspicuously absent.

[steplock]

WHICH is scarier??



OR

[Rummyfan]

Where can you order it?

[lawgirl]

They gave him a sad look!!! I am sure it's supposed to be determined, but it comes off as kind of pitiful.

No matter. I must have one.

[Cornjonny]

The Bill Clinton action figure is also anatomically correct with a "drop trou" feature. It also utters such phrases as "You had better put some ice on that."

[NonValueAdded]

Something for your Christmas stocking ping.

Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush - U.S. President and Naval Aviator - 12" Action Figure

[.cnI redruM]

GI George!!! HAHAHAHAH!

[GOPJ]

Democrats freaking out on this one, or the lacks of _alls hits home...

[.cnI redruM]

The Dems need to get behing Marey Carey in the Ca recall. Unlike them, she'll never choke on a big one!!

[alpowolf]

Both are scary, given that the President of our Republic should not be playacting as a military man. That said, Bush is scarier simply because Clinton is impossible to take seriously.

[Kozak]

You can order if from KB toys

[ohioWfan]

Playacting?? LOL! He's was military jet pilot........or hadn't you heard?

btw, anyone who says that George W. Bush is 'scarier' than the debauched military hating derelict, xlinton should be laughed off of this forum.....

[Grampa Dave]

Re Choking Hazards!

CLINTOON ACTION TOY SHOWN IS 3 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL FOR BETTER VISUAL EASE.

[cardinal4]

I cant find many pictures of the landing. All the links I had to them disappeared! I guess it scared all the libs!

[Rummyfan]

Thanks! Order placed!

[TheBigB]

And the GWB figure comes with its own can of...

[Political Junkie Too]

Clinton Talking Action Figure!

But you have to be over 18 to enter the stores that sell them, and those stores are slowly being zoned out of existance.

-PJ

[LanPB01]

Do you own that Jabba the Hutt, or did you just find that picture somewhere?

[ohioWfan]

You're right, lawgirl......the doll should be smiling.

He was having the time of his life when he made that landing!

I'll take two, please......

[alpowolf]

He was a pilot. Now he's President, and should act like it.

The fact that Clinton is a military hating derelict I do not dispute. That's exactly why he's less scary. Clinton has the attention span of a fruit loop. Bush, on the other hand, is dangerous.

[Sender]

DU is all abuzz over this toy, they call it an "outrage". Hah! Truth hurts, doesn't it?

[TheBigB]

I just found it online. I used to have a lot of SW stuff when I was little, including a Millennium Falcon, an Ice Planet Hoth playset, and a Droid Factory, but no Jabba. Heaven only knows where they all are now.

[Rummyfan]

Maybe I should get a couple more: send one to Hillary, Terry McAulife, Carville and Begala, and the list goes on and on!

[ohioWfan]

Yeah......this is scary if you're a lib.........hehe......

[LanPB01]

I had all of those except the Droid Factory. I sold them all about two years ago.

[El Laton Caliente]

He is a lot more scary...

...to enemies of the US.

(Now am I kicked off?)

[cubreporter]

Guess what the kids and adults are getting in their stockings this year??? Oh yeahhhhhhh. I'll be at the store on Sep 15th!!!

[TheBigB]

DU is all abuzz over this toy, they call it an "outrage".

Says a lot about your life when you're outraged over a toy, IMHO.

[Cornjonny]

I see that they have the Larry the Flynt action set also.
