Action figures depicting presidents as Famous Monsters of Filmland

Heroes in Action have a line of Presidential Monster action figures, including JFK as the Phantom of the White House, ~~Mitt Romney~~ Ronald Reagan as The Ronmy, GW Bush as Zombush, Bill Clinton as Wolf Bill, Richard Nixon as Monster from the Watergate Lagoon (my favorite of the bunch), Barack Obama as Baracula, and Abe Lincoln as Lincolnstein. They're $30 each or $165 for the set.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Isn’t Reagan the Ronmey

I believe that is Ronald Reagan as Ronmy, not Mitt.

I bought Baracula and Lincolnstein at Comic-Con a couple of years ago and have them proudly standing watch in my office.

The Phantom looks uncannily like Alec Baldwin.

For a brief moment I was amused to learn that Finland had famous monsters, and delighted by the obscurity of the effort to turn American Presidents into them.

I think I’m tired.

  Finland was what I first read, also. Same reaction.

I much prefer Steamcrow’s original Lincolnstein from several years ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/secret-creatures/2404193793/

This is all just plain ol’ silly.

I would’ve paid top dollar for the Mitt Romney’s “golden robot” action figure, but I guess since he’s not a true President, they can’t go into production with it.

Am I the only one who can’t stop thinking “Blackula” when i see Baracula?
