This is another one of those toys that doesn’t really require a very long review. The figure is made of vinyl, which is a bit of a switch for action figures, but I think it is something you’ll start seeing more from smaller companies. just the fact that it is vinyl makes it more collectible because it not only draws in the action figure and political fans, but also the vinyl art crowd.
The figure features eight points of articulation and a likeness that, depending on who you ask is either a cartoonish homage, or slightly insulting. To those who find it insulting, get a new hobby. It is clearly Obama. Sure, his ears are even bigger than they are in real life and his head is just a little be extra cone-shaped, but you can just chock all that up to artistic license. After all, if they are giving money to his campaign, they can’t be trying to mock him too hard.
The paint on the figure is pretty good. I’d give it an 8/10. there’s a couple little scuffs and rub marks, and somep laces where it goes outside the lines a bit, but that’s vinyl. In the end, you have a decent action figure. He’s very posable and actually holds his poses a lot better than I would have expected. His white suited version is already sold out. Depending on how the vote goes in November, he’ll either be a highly sought after collectible, or something you find in your attic 20 years from now.
I would buy him if I could find one locally.
Vote Obama!
You can pick one up at jailbreaktoys.com
That would be better if you could stick his head up his ass
You should remove yours if you actually think McCain would make a better president.
Haha! My school has both the McCain and Obama figures at our bookstore prices at $12.95….
They had a bunch so heres hoping they get discounted rather quickly!
