Barack Obama Action Figure: Wanted By Shaun

Barack Obama Action Figure: Wanted By Shaun

To celebrate the the inauguration of Barack Obama, and to again confirm just how awesome he is, Firebox.com have just released a Barack Obama action figure which, at the risk of sounding gay, left me with a bit of a semi.

It’s been a long time coming, but now, because of what US voters did on November 4th 2008, America finally has an action figure to be proud of. Modelled on the 44th President of the USA, the Barack Obama Action Figure is the perfect gift for fans of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’s newest (and coolest) resident.

Standing 6” tall with eight articulation points, this detailed figurine can replicate all manner of presidential poses, filling onlookers with hope every time they gaze at his chunky plastic form. He even comes packaged in a colourful window box with original Obama artwork.

Whatever your political stance it’s impossible not to be inspired by Obama’s meteoric rise to the top. As the USA’s first African American president he’s already an iconic figure, regardless of future conduct. Plus he looks a bit like Will Smith. [via]

I know we’ve just had Christmas, but there is absolutely no excuse for not owning one of these, so go get it right now, it’s only £12.95, which is not even R200 (basically a round of drinks at Tiger Tiger)

Here is another pic of it, just to seal the deal.

    It certainly looks more dapper.

    I hate the way Julius Malema INSISTS on wearing leather jackets with formal pants.

    No, no, no.
