The Funny For 10/14/09: Certainly No Barbie..........Literally

The Hilarity continues. I didn't even know she was an action figure:

But as the toy-maker company HeroBuilders can attest, Bachmann is nothing like Palin when it comes to commercial appeal:

If U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s popularity was judged by the sales of her new action figure, she’d be in trouble.

The Connecticut-based toy company HeroBuilders has sold only 50 copies of the unlicensed action figure since its release on Sept. 25.

Bachmann, a Republican, represents Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District and has been a high-profile critic of President Obama and the Democratic Party.

“I’ll tell you this, she’s no Sarah Palin,” said Emil Vicale, CEO of HeroBuilders.

The sales of the high-priced Bachmann doll (retail price: $34.95) pale in comparison to the Palin action figure, which sold 10,000 units within 24 hours of its launch. Matt Smith quips that “part of the problem with the Bachmann action doll may be that the most interesting thing about Minnesota’s 6th District congresswoman isn’t her actions but her words.”

Well, the end the chance at a Bachmann video game, because that would have been a great edition to the Wii gaming family.

And speaking of this "HeroBuilders" site, they sure did have some funny action figures/dolls. Including these two......
