TOKYO, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama is now available as a tie-wearing action figure battling Darth Vader with a light saber, a Japanese doll maker says.

Gamu-Toys' Obama Action Man figurine also can battle against enemies, both foreign and domestic, with a samurai sword or, in a less bellicose stance, be posed casually with a coat jacket slung over his shoulder, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

No, no, no, that's not Darth Vader. It's Dick Cheney!

LOL, I guess great minds think alike! I saw a similar joke on Colbert, too.

You know, the toy company should just capitalize on this and add a little toy wheelchair for Darth Vader. You know, for when Cheney wants to look really evil, like Mr. Potter in It's A Wonderful Life.

Meanwhile.... check out the pocket on the toy Obama's shirt! Those most be some ginomous toy pens he carries in that pocket. Maybe they should give him a little toy blackberry to put in it.

I'd say Dick Cheney would be Emperor Palpatine if he was a star wars figure. Obama would be.... Jar Jar Binks.
