Newest Addition to the Obama Toy Family: Michelle Action Figure

Back in February, kids everywhere were deprived of the opportunity to play with Sasha and Malia Obama dolls after Michelle complained that Ty was using her daughters for marketing purposes. Then in May, kids everywhere were appeased by the introduction of a First Puppy Bo Beanie Baby. Now, coming soon, a Michelle Obama action figure.

"Action figure," says sculptor Jason Feinberg, is a loose term, as Michelle is clothed in black flats and in a choice of three dresses, the black-and-red dress from Election Night, the purple dress she wore during the famous campaign "fist bump" and the black-and-white flowered dress she wore for her visit to "The View". Don’t worry; her famous toned upper arms are visible in each.

The dolls will be available on Nov. 20 for $12.99. It will join a similar Jailbreak Toys action figure offering, Barack Obama (also dressed in different outfits), which has sold 200,000, according to Feinberg and the Chicago Tribune, and is still selling.

Michelle's office had no comment on the action figure.
