What's Wrong With This Picture? The Commentary
First, the idea of an FDR action figure just seems so...silly. Will it help kids appreciate Professor X more if they see a historical figure in a wheelchair who can command great powers? Wow, Mom, the New Deal sure is fun! But wait..no! It's Benjamin Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who as we all know discovered the electric wheelchair...wait. What?
Target, you should be ashamed. Obviously, you're unAmerican. We need a Wal-Mart to save us now.

Other action figures you may not have seen yet....
The William T. Sherman doll, complete with matches - pull his string and you hear him sing "Burn Baby Burn" and "Georgia on My Mind"....
The Mayor Keith Hightower doll, clutching a wad of dollar bills in one hand and carrying a tiny sign in the other that sez
" Sayonara, Suckers! "
The Al Gore doll, waving a cute little thermometer and holding teeny model of the Earth cradled in his other arm - pull his string and you hear " Earth is dying! Stop American civilization now! Buy my book! Elect me! I have ze Final Solution! " etc.

There's a second Al Gore fig. This one has a laptop and says "I invented the internet!" then files a lawsuit mandating everything be counted thrice.
My favorite, though, is the Dan Quayle doll. It spells potato incorrectly, and has a storage space built into it's cranium, complete with a "this space for rent" sign.
Just watch out. The upcoming Cheney doll is supposed to have a fully-functional shotgun and a heart-attack grip, to say nothing of stock options and a Halliburton merc bodyguard.
