Get your 2012 GOP candidate action figure

Choose from Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich.

Move over Ken doll, here comes Rick Santorum!

If you’ve always wanted your own action figure of your favorite GOP presidential candidate, your wish has been granted!

HeroBuilders, dubbed “The Last American Toy Company,” has launched a line of oddly dressed and disproportionate action figures for each Republican hopeful including Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann. Herman Cain’s doll comes with an optional “Playmate.” There are two versions of Rick Perry: Regular man or Executive man — the choice is yours.

Also, for some reason, a Hilary Clinton doll is included in the line up.

But wait, that’s not all — you can also choose to buy the talking version of your favorite candidate. That’s right, press a button and hear your action figure say something totally adorable in GOP speak!

Rick Santorum, in a mini-sized version of his famous sweater vest, says, “It’s not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your jobs. It’s about some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology — no less a theology.”

Rick Perry’s doll stumbles through his infamous gaffe when trying to recall the three agencies he plans to do away with as president. His action figure says, “It’s three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, education, and the ummm… uhhh… what’s the third one there? Let’s see…. education.. the uhhh… commerce… and let’s see, I can’t… the third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.”

Prices for the action figures range from $39.95 to $65.95. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
