This week change has come, not only to America but to Firebox – in the shape of the
Barack Obama Action Figure.
Capable of striking various presidential poses, this 6” articulated dude has solemnly sworn to fill you with hope every time you gaze at his chunky plastic form. Plus he looks a bit like Will Smith.
The 44th President of the USA should be settling down to solve the world’s considerable problems just about now, so why not celebrate this historic event with a star spangled selection of
American Candy,
a monumentally silly game of
Beer Pong and a few wheelies courtesy of good ol’
Evel Knievel,
an American icon who was almost as reckless as Obama’s misunderestimated predecessor. God bless Firebox!
