G.I. George Immortalized As Aviator Action Figure

At this moment, there are Democrats all over the country getting ready to "worship porcelain" at the thought of President George Bush being immortalized as a GI Joe style action figure... adorned in the same kind of flight gear he wore during his controversial carrier landing last May.

Toy Creator BBI notes that it "proudly introduces the latest issue in its Elite Force series of authentic military 12- inch figures, President George W. Bush in naval aviator flight uniform. Exacting in detail and fully equipped with authentic gear, this limited-edition action figure is a meticulous 1:6 scale recreation of the Commander-in-Chief's appearance during his historic Aircraft Carrier landing.

On May 1, 2003, President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Pacific Ocean, and officially declared the end to major combat in Iraq. While at the controls of an S-3B Viking aircraft from the "Blue Sea Wolves" of Sea Control Squadron Three Five (VS-35), designated "Navy 1," he overflew the carrier before handing it over to the pilot for landing. Attired in full naval aviator flight equipment, the President then took the salute on the deck of the carrier."

The listing on the KBToys web site also notes that, "This fully poseable figure features a realistic head sculpt, fully detailed cloth flight suit, helmet with oxygen mask, survival vest, g-pants, parachute harness and much more. The realism and exacting attention to detail demanded by today's 12-inch action figure enthusiast are met and exceeded with this action figure. This incredibly detailed figure is a fitting addition to the collection of those interested in U.S. history, military memorabilia and toy action figures."

Distributor KB Toys says that "Due to extremely high demand, we will ship your Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush - U.S. President and Naval Aviator 12 inch Action Figure, based on the date you placed your pre-order. If you pre-ordered on or before 4:00 p.m. EDT on August 12, 2003, your order will be available to ship by September 15, 2003.

Get yours now and avoid the rush... (grin)
