Sarah Palin action figure

It's not a doll, it's an action figure! And it's not just an action figure, it's a superhero. US Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin might be America's new wonder woman.

Atleast that's the idea behind the new 12-inch tall action figures made to look like Palin. There are three versions of the action figures, an executive, a school girl and a .45 caliber gun-toting superhero.

The action figures went on sale for the first time on June 8 and so far the response has been good.

Also, on offer are a variety of John McCain and Barack Obama action figures.

According to a survey, John McCain is now leading by 12 points over his rival Barack Obama after the arrival of Palin.

McCain has also taken a 3 per cent lead in a tracking poll by a website.
