Jailbreak toys is releasing a Michelle Obama action figure doll just in time for the holidays. The six-inch plastic First Lady action figure will be ready for gift-giving next month and will retail for $12.99. The six inch doll are made wearing three dresses, all from Obama’s days on the campaign trail.
One black and white dress she wore on “The View” talk show during the campaign, the purple dress she wore after one of then-Senator Obama’s speeches, and the the red-and-black dress she wore on election night.
On their website Jailbreak toys says the Michelle doll is a must have. “‘If there’s one person in America who has captured the public’s imagination even more than Barack Obama, it’s his wife Michelle.
So following the runaway success of the Obama Action Figure we simply had to make Michelle because Barack and Michelle are a team in the best and truest sense of the word and you can’t have one without the other.”
Michelle Obama spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld said in an e-mail to CNN that the White House had no comment on the new doll. And I can’t blame them. If you ask me, the doll isn’t a very attractive rendition of the First Lady. Surely, they could have come up with dolls without that Cruella De Vil grin.
Jailbreak Toys is the same company that sells a Barack Obama doll (which looks nothing like the president, either) and also began selling dolls named “Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha,” after the first couple’s daughters. The White House responded to those dolls in a statement saying it was “inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing.” The dolls were eventually pulled off the market.
