This is going to be the big hit, this summer!

The Adolf Hitler doll which comes with a change of clothes - and a spare head with a kind face

An action-man style doll of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler has gone on sale in the Ukraine, with saleswomen comparing the doll to Barbie.
Supermarkets in the capital Kiev are stocking the 40 centimetre high figure of the fuhrer, complete with jackboots, leather trench-coat and swastika armband.

On the other hand: after the first two star wars movies, a marketing team found out that Darth Vader was the most popular character of the series back then. children often are more fascinated by the evil than the good character.

which of course is no justification to produce this sh!tty Hitler puppet.

I can understand having something like that as a rare collectors item, but a wholesale figurine?!

That is what I also thought in the beginning, I have seen collection figures before, but this is intended to be a toy... Well, at least Barbie is going to have a new interesting friend...

"Drastic Plastic has been involved in the action figure business for years. You'd be amazed at all the various companies and toy lines they've worked with, but they're names have never been the headliners. Now they've started putting out figures with their own name, designed to be museum quality and historically accurate.

The first line of figures are based on the Leaders of World War II. In series 1 is Adolf Hitler, Franklen Roosevelt, and Stalin. The second series will include Hirohito, Mussolini and Churchill."

Do they have a John Wayne Gacy doll?

I am guessing you would need to have some victims too.

I can see it now...

NEW AND IMPROVED! HERE IT IS, KIDS! IT'S HITLER! This 40 centimeter high doll comes with jackboots, a Swastika armband, a standard cap, and a belt, along with Hitler's full uniform fully recreated (along with various other accessories!). With this doll, dominate all of Europe! Eliminate the Jewish threat! Unite the world under the banner of the Third Reich! It's miniature world domination, and you get to be one of the most powerful men of the age!

Coming soon: the leaders of all the major nations during World War II! Fight your friends, enslave your enemies under your oppressive reign! Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt (complete with wheelchair!), Mussolini, Hirohito, Tojo, they're all included, and they're all ready to play a good old fashion game of nationalist glory!

Coming even sooner: generals of World War II! Goering, Kuribayashi, Nimitz, Patton, Montgomery, they're all back there, and they're ready to lead your nation's troops on the march to war.

Out now: SOLDIERS of World War II! We've got figurines of the Wehrmacht, the SS, the 101st Airborne, the 2nd Division Rangers! Once again, they're all there! Build a MASSIVE army of these figures and declare war. We've got plenty of accessories for these mini-men, including tanks (such as the King Tiger and the M1 Sherman), airplanes (such as the B-17, the P-51, the BF-109, the He-111, the Zero Zeke, and dozens of others), ships (the Bismarck, Tirpitz, USS Enterprise, the Akagi, and dozens more), submarines (the Type VIIC/42, the Type IID, the USS Salmon, and many more), vehicles (Opel Blitz, half-tracks, and many more), and other cool things, all of which are to scale size to the figures (and damned expensive therefore!)!

I think I'd like one of these. Just to have it round the house, I can hit it when I get mad

"Take that, Hitler!"
