Over the last two years, a number of political action figure companies have sprung up; Hero Builders is one that has been getting a lot of press.  Hero Builders is known for creating 12' action figures of famous 'heroes' and 'villains,' both in talking and non-talking versions.  February 25th is the scheduled release date for the latest, Mean Dean, based on Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean.

 

Mean Dean joins currently available figures of Bush in Baghdad, Captured Saddam, and Osama the Terrorist.  Hero Builders also offers Michael Jackson dangling his baby off the balcony, titled Baby Drop, along with the option of making custom action figures.

 

Their figures could be set up to have a nice poker night with Elvis (see 'McFarlane's Elvis Action Figure') and Jason and Freddy (see 'NECA Unveils New Freddy Figures')!
