Jan 26 2009Interchangeable Ties: An Obama Action Figure

This presidential action figure is certainly a step above Chia Obama. Available in Japan, Action Obama comes complete with interchangeable ties, hands, and weaponry. He can hold an American flag, microphone, gun, katana, and even a lightsaber. He cannot, however, hold a bachelor party for shit. WHERE WERE THE STRIPPERS, BARACK? I swear.

Thanks to Jacen, Ray, MechanicalApe, John and Brit, who are all too old to play with action figures but still do because they're that cool.

6. Timbo - January 26, 2009 11:14 AM
@3 I find obama himself disturbing.... What a waste of an action figure....
7. bladerunner - January 26, 2009 11:15 AM
I thought if was ready for action and fought back that made it a Republican.
8. mark mahowald - January 26, 2009 11:16 AM
obama is a lefty. the action figure is a lie.
9. Tricky Ricky - January 26, 2009 11:26 AM
Hey Obama! can you spare some change?..I'm broke!
10. Daisy - January 26, 2009 11:27 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
Oh f*** it.
11. Thumperchica - January 26, 2009 11:34 AM
This was just Okay until I saw the interchangeable ties... Now I MUST BUY ONE! While I still have some $$... y'know, before we spend the next 25+ years paying back all of these "stimulus" packages and socialist agenda programs...
12. Adam - January 26, 2009 11:41 AM
Wait, our president is a lefty?
how the f*** did we elect one of those freaks?
13. che-che - January 26, 2009 11:41 AM
i thought he didnt like the american flag. this figure doesnt make sense. (the tag line on the box should say, i want to spread your wealth around. or pregnancy is an STD)
14. softlicious - January 26, 2009 11:43 AM
Barak Obamination is a lefttard! Why didn't theese people do some cool Bush merchandise? Because they're liberal dickquads!

There is nothing wrong with being a lefty... stupid jealous "normal" rightys...
18. Brit - January 26, 2009 12:07 PM
So basically it made me really happy that this got posted.
Cause I died laughing when i found it.
19. naas - January 26, 2009 12:18 PM
It's been said before, obamaholicism is pathetically overhyped and it's just going to get worse. An action figure NOW!? How f***ing gay.
20. Dr.Know - January 26, 2009 12:20 PM
How stupid.. YAY look at me & my little obama action figure, it fits nicely into my colon
21. Daisy (TRO) - January 26, 2009 12:34 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max got caught counting cards in Vegas, and got a beating from Cowboy Curtis. Later he went back, and counted cards again, but Lex Luthor got the beating.
22. catch22 - January 26, 2009 12:34 PM
I didnt vote for him, his lack of experience and political plans scare the hell out of me, i can name a hundred men and women (black, wite, and otherwise) that would be better for the job... but I must say this figure is pretty awesome
23. MeeMee - January 26, 2009 12:35 PM
We need W back right now!
He's our only hope!
Four more years!
24. Spam Artist - January 26, 2009 12:38 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a bang up fake. The shadow's give it away though.
This is indistinguishable from a scene in the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula's resurrected man-servant joins a Japanese pop band and paints his lips metallic blue.
He suffers heavy metal poisoning and spends two weeks in recuperative magnet therapy.

It's in the Revelations book.

The doll should come with a turban and suicide vest
28. softlicious - January 26, 2009 2:12 PM
@27 - You're so right.
This wasn't a misstake:

But it has to be called a misstake, you know black history month is comming soon. No one can call Barak Osama bin Laden a terrorist before black history month! The "streets" would go wild, chaos would ensue!
29. glasshalfscotch - January 26, 2009 2:57 PM
When the hell did Geekologie turn into a right-wing playground. Funny how you spent the last 8 years telling us "liberal yahoos" that we have to "respect the president, he's the leader of our nation" and now that it's our turn you're all a bunch of haters. I'm not saying we ever respected W, but still, practice what you preach.
30. BK - January 26, 2009 3:06 PM
The name's Obama....................Barack Obama.
31. catch22 - January 26, 2009 4:33 PM
@29 ... i dont see any wings... but there seems to be some left handed vs right handed discusion.... *writes with my left hand*
32. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 26, 2009 5:19 PM
Ok, sorry, this has nothing to do with the post itself but its contributer..."Jacen"? "JACEN"? Are you f***ing serious? Dude, that's gayer than that british kid who changed his name to that "Faster than the Hulk...blah blah" bullshit. You need to requisition yourself a f***ing "S" for that C. Either that or just switch the J to an L and rearrange it so it spells LANCE. f***ing homo.
Also, someone needs to seriously bitch-slap your mom for naming you that.
33. Right Fury - January 26, 2009 5:21 PM
Jesus H. Christ on a rubber crutch!
WHY in the f*** does he have a handgun? Oh it's a revolver. They're showing you the only gun you'll be able to buy in the next 4 years because real guns will be outlawed. With a 500% tax of course.
I see one of those interchangeable hands is a fist. I assume that's to represent the anal fisting we all are going to get via the IRS.
You socialist f***s CANNOT be serious. I know you are completely brainwashed but this doesn't make you sick? Seriously?
34. glasshalfscotch - January 26, 2009 5:29 PM
I saw that as well, but there is also quite a bit of Obama bashing going on here. Specifically: 3, 6, 7, 9, the second half of 11, 13, the end of 14, 19, 22, 23, 27, 28.
Back me up 26.
35. glasshalfscotch - January 26, 2009 5:30 PM
oh and 33.
36. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 26, 2009 5:35 PM
The "reason" for any of this is because it's Japanese...nuff said.
@14: There was no cool Bush merchandise because there was nothing cool about Bush.
37. Pew³ - January 26, 2009 6:05 PM
I'll take the Darth Vader action figure. He would totally POWN Obama. I don't think Barack has any force powers.
I even voted for Darth Vader, I just penciled it in at the bottom.
38. Sporty McDouglas - January 26, 2009 8:18 PM
There can be only one.
39. eggs - January 26, 2009 10:15 PM
I'm not American, so can someone tell me why this guy is so great? What makes him so special and different from all the other presidents that it warrants an action figure/comic book/etc? And why are all the merchandise made for entertainment?
40. wow gold - January 26, 2009 11:12 PM
wtf? why do i get the feeling that they would soon come out with an Obama figure dressed as a World of Warcraft Paladin?
41. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 27, 2009 12:57 AM
@39: He may or may not be that great, but with our track record lately because of his predecessor, he looks like a god. It's all in the context in which you take it.
i.e.: The last guy f***ed it all up; this guy's policies are completely opposite of the last guy's; ergo this guy will fix all the f***ed up stuff.
At least that's the plan...and frankly I have complete faith in the guy...if not, it can't be any worse than the last one.
42. Right Fury - January 27, 2009 10:07 AM
spellingnazi used the word "GOD" perfect.
57% of americans are brainwashed and would have voted for a ham sandwich as long as it wasn't a republican.
I think it is absolutely hilarious that our new treasury secretary cannot figure out how to use turbo tax. That's why he "messed up" from 01-04.
CHANGE!!!! ER CHANGE!!11 bleeeechhchchchcch
Keep it.
43. Thumperchica - January 27, 2009 10:41 AM
34- The second half of my comment (#11) had nothing to do with Obama... It had more to do with the economy and the turn our government has taken regarding social programs vs. capitalism... But I do really get why you thought that - I don't like the guy, but I wish him the best of luck.
44. Right Fury - January 27, 2009 11:13 AM
@thumper
Why are you apologizing? If you don't like socialism, own that shit! Barry Barack hussein soetero Obama is the champion of the socialist agenda.
I wish the United States luck and not Obama. Every single time Bush flubbed a line, tried to walk out a locked door on a chinese stage, or ordered an entire village of iraqi women and children slaughtered, the libs were there and they would not STFU. So I will never give the anti-christ a break and I will NEVER BACK DOWN!
45. softlicious - January 27, 2009 11:57 AM
OMG! I figured out why Barak Osama is wearing a sword! It's so that he can slaughter people who disagree with him, beeing a president gives him immunity from charges otherwise brought against similar gansters! Also theese so called "toys" are designed to brainwash children! Our once great nation is falling into the destitute of moral and righteousness.
46. Right Fury - January 27, 2009 3:22 PM
He's had immunity from everything else, why not?
47. J-rock - January 27, 2009 3:41 PM
@6 i agree.... they should have made a real action figure...f*** id rather buy an action figure of my dog over this...
you think if you blow the action figure up it would be considered a threat to the abomination (obama nation)?
48. eggs - January 28, 2009 9:19 AM
@41 Thank you.
49. Thumperchica - January 28, 2009 9:22 AM
44- I didn't apologize. I clarified. Yes the left-wing skewered Bush at EVERY percieved opportunity. Yes it was petty and counter productive. So now, after whining about it for 8 years, are YOU going to do the SAME thing? C'mon, grow up boys N girls. Whether or not you like him, whether or not you voted for him; he's our president for at least the next 4 years. Instead of bitching, if you really don't want him in for ANOTHER 4 years, do something positive, like working on Palin's 2012 campaign...
50. Right Fury - January 28, 2009 10:06 AM
Sorry thumper. I AM going to do the same thing. These smug little america rapists were BEAMING when the ONE was elected. They were literally dancing in the streets.
If we don't voice our non-koolaid opinion and continue to voice they may forget how stupid they are.
51. Bob - January 28, 2009 1:52 PM
No wonder the Repblicans lost. They're stupid.
52. kyle - February 22, 2009 6:46 PM
you know, in the USSR, they has stalin dolls and commerative lenin action figures. no one bought them because they were poor. today its kinda the same...except we dont care enough.
