A minor issue - the figure is being produced by a company called BBi, not Hasbro. The Hasbro GI Joe series of figures have included a few real-life people in their range, and a few Presidents, but the GW Bush figure is not a GI Joe. The BBi range, called Elite Force, has somewhat more realistic equipment and detailing, at a much higher price point.
And I have already pre-ordered three of this figure. I am not sure if this is becuase I am a conservative or a hopeless 1:6-scale addict, but I think its probably the former as most of my figures are WWII (from Hasbro, BBi, Dragon and other manufacturers).
On a sad note - this figure, like most all 1:6 figures, is produced in China. Most of the companies I mentioned earlier, aside from Hasbro, are Chinese or Singaporean companies. Toys are almost always an asian import.
Suggestion to all who dislike trade with China: Buy the doll, get the address of some Chinese kid, and send it to him! This is exactly the way we cut the foundations out from under the USSR. Long before RR, American rock music and Levis were already eroding the command economy in Russia.
