Hot Christmas gift item: Obama SEAL action figure
This is hysterical. I bet the only people buying this will be conservatives who give it to friends as a joke:
Navy SEALs have become national heroes since news broke that they took down Osama bin Laden, so it's fitting that the newest action figure from a Connecticut company is a fierce-looking President Barack Obama as a SEAL.The minute Obama said late on the night of May 1 that the U.S. had found and killed bin Laden, Emil Vicale knew which his action figure company's would make next - Rambama.
On Wednesday morning, Hero Builders released the Obama SEAL Team 6 action figure - a muscular President in fatigues armed with an M1-A4.
Vicale, who owns the custom action figure company in Oxford, said the speech was a pivotal moment in the Obama presidency.
He started the company after hearing George Bush at Ground Zero so I guess we can cut the owner a little slack. Still, the incongruity of Obama with a gun in fatigues is about as ripe as it gets.
