Joe Wilson Gets His Own Action Figure

Joe Wilson Gets His Own Action Figure

OH, SWEET. Look who got an action figure! South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson, that's who! Thanks to the good people at HeroBuilder.com, if you are looking to part with a cool $39.95 on a needless recession-era purchase, you can now be the proud owner of a mini-fig that ably chronicles that time in American History where a guy yelled at the President during a speech to a joint session of Congress.

While the figure is so cheaply made that it sort of looks like a repurposed Howard Dean-on-ecstacy action figure, the Joe Wilson mini-fig is programmed to utter "You Lie!" You can listen to it here. Then, after fifteen minutes of shouting "You Lie!" the Joe Wilson action figure starts whining like a milquetoast and starts asking your other action figures to fight his battles for him.

HeroBuilders apparently has a Michelle Bachmann action figure on the way, so, there's something for you to look forward to, I guess.
