#7 I thought that for legal reasons you couldn't actually identify a doll like this as the Prez.

For example, HeroBuilders just calls their doll America's President, without explicitly stating that it's GWB. Also comes in Tony Blair and Rudy Giuliani flavors, neither of which are called that. Business suits sold separately.

I see now that besides the reliable Saddam and Osama villain figures, they have Baghdad Bob (including a talking model!---but, dammit, the sound clips do not include roasting stomachs in hell).

Furthermore, while they don't actually classify them as villains, they do have Herr Schroeder and Comrade Putin dolls, along with Le Worm (he talks! he whines! he pontificates!). And there's a lovely diorama of Khalid Sheik Mohammed wearing the big-collared Shirt o' Shame.

But still, still, no Rummy doll. I am so steamed. I was going to have my mom make him some biker leathers.

#8 Heh Matt. My thoughts too. This would have made an ideal present for so many people I know ;). But they won't deliver to the UK!

#10 Bulldog, I have trouble imagining a Tony Blair action figure. Maybe George Galloway with a detachable head (pike not included.)
