I guess it’s like apples and oranges, but when you compare the Hero Builders Sarah Palin 12-inch action figure that got so much press to DiD (Dragon in Dream) Corp’s 12-inch Barack Obama action figure that hasn’t gotten so much press yet, you are rendered kind of speechless. I don’t collect 1/6 scale action figures and I enjoy a certain degree of abstraction in my designer vinyl toys, but come on, look at this: the likeness to our next U.S. president is unreal. The level of detail is crazy. The DiD Corp specializes in realistic hair and clothing. For $69.99 USD shipped you get the action figure, an American flag, a stool and some gesticulating hands to change out. I’m a bit unclear whether you also get a change of heads (with different facial expressions) or if each figure is sold separately.
The DiD Corporation was established in 2003 and has has produced four lines of figure series including 12” Military Figures, 12” Fashion Figures,12” Movie Figures and 12” X-Games/Sports Figures. DiD’s pursuit of high quality and diversification of products and parts results in sought-after figures with realistic, lifelike accuracy.
