Coming to a store near you: GI George - Toronto Star

Evildoers everywhere, beware: "GI George" is here. Blue Box Toys, the same company that brought you the Hello Kitty merchandising line, has announced the limited edition of "Elite Force Aviator", the George Bush action figure doll, available beginning Sept. 15.

Dressed in traditional naval aviator garb, this sleek action figure will bring back fond memories of that historic, yet very costly day for taxpayers, when President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, signifying the end to major combat in Iraq. Though the real George W. never actually made it to the military, this 12-inch replica will make you think he did as it comes equipped with the standard helmet, extra oxygen, a parachute harness, miniature flares — all replicating Bush's historic aircraft carrier landing.

Buff Presidential George: Boasting a resting heart rate of 45 and a body fat percentage to die for, when this trim presidential action figure says, "Let's get physical," he really means it. Though many Americans find themselves struggling to find time for even the basics during these tough, tumultuous times, Buff George knows how to prioritize, never misses a workout and has even managed to increase his muscle mass during times of national peril. Now that's dedication.

Treadmill, Walkman and headband sold separately.

GOP Fundraising George: Doubling as a piggy bank, this action figure knows no bounds when it comes to raising a buck. With a hollowed head doubling as a bank, your children will enjoy hours of fun stuffing large bills into his empty head believing that their money is secure, even as the greenback begins to fall and interest rates rise. Lost your nest egg during the stock market crash? Worried about your future and our record-breaking national debt? Forget your financial woes for now and marvel at "GOP George" as he continues to shatter all political fundraising records.

Nominal tax break includedwith most dolls.
