What to get the Presidential history nerd who has everything for Christmas … yes, a “Presidential Action Figure” which speaks 25 phrases in the President’s own voice!
Can’t you hear him now – “I am not a doll!” I am VERY sad that they don’t have an LBJ one.

What an odd bunch of choices. Carter but no Clinton?
Reagan but neither Roosevelt? Nixon, but no Hoover?
…
Given the choice of an Australian version, a Keating audio-chipped doll would be brilliant, especially if it recognised the presence of other dolls and verbally abused them. You could reenact the Hawke-Keating leadership battle in your own loungeroom! Hmmm…

Yeah, I can’t really see the market for Carter.
You go and get those Australian versions sorted, Liam. But no audio chip on the Gough, alright?

The Malcolm Fraser can use the same detachable pants as the Bill Clinton, the John Gorton and the JFK. Economies of scale, baby, uh-huh. I’ll sell the Billy Hughes with a mousetrap and some cheese. And why stop at national leaders? How about a Joh Bjelke-Petersen, a Henry Parkes or a Governor Bligh (voice chip rated MA-15)? Why not a Santamaria doll? CL?
…
Seriously, though, why aren’t they selling a Lincoln figure? I’d have thought he’d whip Jefferson for popularity, especially with the whole emancipation thing.

There’d be a huge Xtian market out there for Carter, wouldn’t there?

Or peanut farmers?

No talking Calvin Coolidge doll?
I’m speechless.

A Duggar doll or two would probably find a market.

Oooh I want a John Howard one. So I can stick pins in it. Ahahhaha.
Or not.

Don’t fight it Kate. It’s what we all want, really.
