Toys and Games Reviews of George W. Bush Talking Action Figure
Customer Review: As a gift, it failed to deliver
Summary: 3 Stars
I may have misjudged my audience of the gift recipient, but as an adult male Republican, he did not find this action figure to be even half as funny as I did, not even a tenth as amusing.
He voted for George W. and I wanted him to be able to remember all the good parts of his presidency after Jan 2009. I thought that having an icon that didn't spout all the silly things that President Bush has said, but rather some of the more inspirational comments would be a good idea. The figure is well dressed in a small tailored suit, and when you press his American Flag lapel pin, he speaks words of wisdom with correct grammar.
My friend was not amused. And when he looked at me with hurt, puppy dog eyes, I suddenly wasn't giggling anymore either.
I think it ranks as the least well received gift I have ever attempted to give. It might have been because it was a doll, and my friend is more manly than that. It might have been because he thought it was a parody of his president (as hard as it may be to believe, it is not a parody, I assure you. It's very tastefully done and does not present President Bush in a silly manner at all. If it is a parody, it's not particularly a very good one.) My friend couldn't even pretend with his endless array of social skills that he liked it.
It's a sickening feeling that you get in your stomach when you realize that you've made such a horrible mistake, and you can't take it back because the doll is already out of the bag. Luckily, I had an i-pod to give him as well, so we quickly moved on to other presents that were much more well received.
Needless to say, this gift now sits in my art studio, providing me endless moments of mirth throughout my creative activities. I have many friends that tell me when I tire of it, that they would LOVE to get it as a gift. I don't know what they intend to do to the poor thing. Maybe they'll keep it as a collectible to share with future generations. Maybe they'll destroy it so future generations are never exposed to it. I don't know. Our politics are not the same, but neither are my politics and those of my unfortunate male Republican friend. He has come to forgive me.
My only hope for its survival is that they express befuddlement whenever I relate the story of the saddest gift giving moment of my life.
So, maybe in that light there is hope for this little plastic George yet.
