Controlled Chaos Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I would say neither party. It's a company that is making them. Sure, political toys aren't going to outsell Harry Potter, Barbie (see BW Online, 2/17/04, "Behind the Barbie-Ken Breakup"), Yu-Gi-Oh!, or the latest holiday kids' craze. But manufacturers are betting that a market exists for political toys, games, and specialty items aimed at both children and grown-ups. KERRY ON DECK. The best of the bunch: A George Bush punching bag by Rocket USA. The "Battling Bush" Bop Bag comes in two versions: a 7-inch inflatable with the Prez in red, white, and blue boxing shorts ($5 suggested retail) and a 46-inch version ($14.95) with a sand-filled base and three-dimesnional, bright-red boxing gloves that squeak when you whack them. Each punching bag has a caricature of Daddy Bush (George H.W.) egging on his son with a hearty, "Go get 'em, Boy!" Rocket USA President Michael C. Perry says he also has a John Kerry punching bag prototype ("Knockout Kerry"), but he's waiting until Kerry clinches the Democratic nomination before rushing it into production. Political junkies will want these products. The art is first-rate. Perry's company clearly knows what it's doing. And it has a track record: It sells other punching bags featuring such American icons as Bozo the Clown and Homer Simpson. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflas..._1519_db076.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I would assume Kerry. By the way: Go Johnathan Kerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 I found it at a Victory Store - Bush - Cheney I guess they have a sense of humor about themselves. BTW, you can get all of your official Bush2004 campaign items there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
