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

The full ad, available at target.com at the time of this post,

*boggles* If I weren't convinced by the grasp of English and random capitalization, I'd still claim that both this doll and the website were created in China because I would have to weep, absolutely weep, if Americans put this together and didn't catch this.
