Yes, you heard right, it's a Sarah Palin action figure. Personally I'd be more interested in a Palin voodoo doll, but that doesn't mean somebody out there won't be spending the $29.95 for a smiley, plastic version of America's favorite bear-slaying anti-choicer. Palin also comes in super hero and civilian versions, each frumpier than the last.
Feministing complains that this is one more sexist attack against Palin, turning her into a sexy, non-threat. Have you seen the sheer crappiness of these action figures, Feministing? There is no sexiness involved here, no matter what the manufacturers intended. Just check out those freakish knees. Personally, I sort of enjoy the figures, as they make Palin look terrifyingly perky and therefore incapable of taking office. Her clothes, however, just won't do. Check out the supposed pantsuit? It looks more like Sarah Palin, school janitor.

Actually, it looks like they took the head from the Librarian action figure and put Bratz clothes on it.
