Only, it’s actually QeeVo, Mark Mothersbaugh’s Qee for Toy2R and the Barack Obama action figure by Jailbreak Toys. The pairing is in good company: all manner of designer plastic toys.

I nicked this pic from the Uglyblog, and while I don’t want to turn into TMZ or anything, it’s just too good to pass up. President Elect Barack Obama’s younger daughter headed out for her first day of school with Babo’s Bird on her backpack. It says so right in this AP story that namechecks [...]
