The Next President Action Figure of the United States
by Andres Cerrato on 12/30/2008 7 comments

Yes ladies and gentlemen, change has come to America and it comes in the form of a 1/6 scale action figure of Barack Obama.  The figure comes from the Dragon in Dream company based out of Japan, as well, only Japan would think to make a 1/6 Barack Obama to go into battle leading our old G.I. Joe toys.

By far, it’s the most realistic Obama figure I’ve seen released so far this year.  Most of the other Obama-related figures have been either cartoonish or look nothing like him.  The figure comes with quite the accessory haul including 3 sets of hands, two different head sculpts, two Presidential ties, a microphone, and to top it all off, a stool with accompanying American flag background.  I love the details that DiD put into this figure, such as the standard pin on the suit lapel along with the wedding band and watch on his left arm.

 The only disappointment about this figure is that the prototype John McCain figure shown below was solely a prototype and never put into production.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to create reenactments of the Presidential debates, that episode of South Park or the fabled  U.S. Senate fight club.  The best part about this figure? It has nothing to do with stickers put on a coin set.

The 1/6 Barack Obama collectible action figure is available from DiD distribution and retails for a price of 8980 yen.
