Target (aka, "that fine French emporium, Tar-jay") has a line of historical dolls. From the Presidents collection, here we have an example.

President Franklin Roosevelt.


Wow. This isn't one of my photoshop efforts, unfortunately. It's exactly what I see on screen right now.
The text is better.

• 25 different phrases in the Presidents own Voice! -- Aside from the remarkable achievement recording that guy's voice would be, Bob weeps. Also, what's with the capital 'V'? The rest of the text is sentence case...


• include an individually numbered certificate of authenticity -- That I would like to see.


• a biographical pamphlet that includes rare photos -- They would have to be.


• a comprehensive timeline specific to each figure. -- Or to some figure, anyway.


• period correct clothing that has been hand tailored to suit the figure -- because lord knows this President wouldn't wear off-the-rack

And for that matter, if there are going to include 'president' Franklin, they should have the confederate leader... who I can't even get a glimmer of a name for. Duh. Huge gap in my education.

Ah. Mark supplies me with Jefferson Davis. I think that sounds right. Anybody out there with a correction, we'd be obliged.

Not a correction but a confirmation. It was, indeed, Jefferson Davis.
