I can't agree with Tom on this one. I see it as silly merchandising, and nothing more.
I'll also be VERY honest and say I suspect that there would have been Sarah Palin Merch had the election gone the other way. Also there has been such merch for Clinton and Reagan.
When somebody has a marketable image (notice I didn't mention Biden or McCain) that market will be capitalized by a free economy.
God Bless 'em!
Also I was very impressed at the quality and watching the figures being made.
I'm glad you guys liked that little video. It depicts a well-known street in Naples where they're famous for these hand-carved little statues that people put under their Christmas trees. Each year they add some political figures or celebrities to the usual Jesus, Mary and Joseph ones. They'll probably sell a bunch of the Obama figures because he's so popular here.
It's Stalinist.

Neat post, Mike!
I'd rather have a John McCain A-4 Airplane Model or a Curtis LeMay edition B-29.
