Connecticut-based Herobuilders.com has already sold several hundred dolls, probably most of them to journalists and political bloggers. The talking version only says one thing—”rent is too damn high”—yet at $50 costs a whole $10 more than the mute model, priced at $40. Forty dollars for a mini-McMillan is too damn expensive (ha!), but it’s more reasonable than $50. Maybe just buy a mute doll, hold it up to your computer, play a YouTube from the gubernatorial debate, and save yourself $10.

TIME is so excited that it recommends the Jimmy McMillan doll as an early Christmas gift, because everyone celebrates Christmas. But if dolls creep you out, you can consume Jimmy McMillan cultural in a digital format: come Election Day, he’s releasing a new record on iTunes. One of the new songs is called “Rent Party Christmas.” See, what did I say about Christmas.

Here’s a curious thing: CBS awarded photo credit to the Associated Press, who seem to have broken the Jimmy McMillan doll story. But the photo that CBS used is the same as the one we’ve used, which came from Herobuilders.com. TIME gives Herobuilders credit for the pic; the Canadian Post credits both Herobuilders and the AP, and the Huffington Post credits both Herobuilders and Getty Images.

Surely you, in a recent time of quiet reflection, came to the sad realization that your life will never be complete until you attain an action figure in the likeness of the most blatantly retarded American congressional representative to ever defile the halls of Congress, Michele Bachmann. Well fret no more Sparky!

Luckily for you the heros at Herobuilders have made that Bachmann action figure you’ve waiting for, so, for a mere $34.95, now you’ll no longer be shamed by not owning a doll resembling the woman who makes Sarah Palin look positively MENSA. Now you can play house with your Bachmann figure spouting nonsense about census takers coming to sodomize your children, while the Joe Wilson figure screams “You lie!” at the Obama Joker figure, over and over and over again. You’re welcome! |Hero Builders|

The fine folks over at Herobuilders have heard the public screaming their insatiable demand for a talking Joe Wilson doll and have responded. For $39.95 this little guy comes nattily dressed for a joint session of Congress and is equipped with a shouty “you lie” audio track. What a great stocking stuffer for all the right-wing zealots in your family! Previously: Obama-Joker action figure.

With the viral success generated by the Obama-Joker poster, the opportunistic custom toy makers at Herobuilders whipped up this menacing 12″ action figure of the president in whiteface. The perfect gift for tea baggers, birthers, and astro turfers alike, it’s limited to 2000 pieces and can be purchased here ($50).
