Toy Maker Makes Obama Doll
Apparently, the Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is a rock star in Germany. So German expert toymaker Marcel Offermann decided to create a doll in the likeness of the junior senator from Illinois.
The 14-inch doll is rocking a black suit, complete with a Stars-and-Stripes lapel pin, a white shirt and sky-blue tie. This collector’s doll is available in a limited edition of 999 and it is priced at a hefty €139 ($216).
Offermann, who admits to being an admirer of Obama, has made dolls of public figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Benedict XVI and the Dalai Lama.
Wild Thing's comment........
Limited edition of 999???
OK, tell me that’s not to be read upside down.
As a critique of the doll I think it needs a different set of ears.

What's next in Der Fatherland? "Mein Kampf II?"
The Adolf Doll in 1945 was a flop I hear!
"Ein Reich, Ein Change, Ein Obama!"
- 1/2 Aryan und 1/2 Afrikanner, ja?

Where is Spike Jones and his City Slickers,when we need him. Darth mentioned Der Fuehrer, and the first thing that comes to mind is the Song by Spike Jones, 'Der Fuhrers face' "When Obama says, we must change this place, we heil heil right in Obama's face".
All that doll needs is a Red Cap and you could plant him right outside your driveway with a ring in his hand... or a shoe-shine box.

From the wonderful guys who gave us Judenrein. That little doll looks like it could make tigers turn into butter.

Looks more like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

Sambo Mugabe, Robert's youngest, a not too distant cousin of Mugabe Hussein, AKA Lil'B. Obama, brothers of a different mother and different fathers.

Now, if this guy came out with an Obama doll that you could stick pins into, he would have something. He would sell a lot more than 999 with an unlimited edition.

WT, you do realize you will be called a racist for even posting this doll don't you??? Well at least by ONE idiot that trolls Conservative sites.

I give it a day until someone yells "RACE" and all the claims come out about they are all picking on the poor moslem boy as he is black...

Darth, haha
I think what surprised me the most is the cost. VERY expensive for a political doll that may or may not win. hahaha

Cheryl, LOL yes and for the money he is charging for the doll it sure should look more like him.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:37 PM
Mark, yes your right, haha it does look like that. I thought it was a joke but the man really is selling these things. hahaahha
I doubt he will sell many of them.

Rhod, hahaaha yes. The Flag pin is a nice touch don't you think heh heh. Especially since Obama made such a drama out of why he would not wear one.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:43 PM
Tom yes it looks like him too. I wonder if Obama has seen it yet.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:46 PM
Jack, thanks for the link. That reminds me, I saw what was supposed to be Obama's birth certificate and it looks totally weird. They had his dad as African and someone saidi back then they did not put that down like that on a birth certificate.

Les, LMAO good idea. I bet McCain would want one like that heh heh
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:53 PM
Robert, well it is a news story so that is all I did was report some news. hahahha
But yes I know the person you mean and that person has been vile to say the least.
Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:56 PM
fidothedog yes probably and that is so silly. If it was a doll of McCain no one would yell about that at all. It should not make any difference because it is a doll of Obama. How sad it has to be a world like that it is just a stupid doll that doesn't even look like B. Hussein Obama.
Hahahhaa The world needs to lighten up.
