    Quick reminder

    This forum has always had a rule of No Political discussion and it remains.

    It's been here since day one.

    Don't post them please, no one member is exempt from it.

    I don't like when people think they are above it. They aren't. Take that crap to FaceBook.

    Thank you.

        I am so glad that this place doesn't allow politics. Our daily lives have become so inidated with it, it's nice to have a haven where you know that stuff won't, or shouldn't come up.

            Palitoy for President is what I say. Oh wait, he kinda already is. Well that was a quick race. LOL. I'm joking folks, before anyone takes my sarcasm as being serious.

              That is until people start comparing notes about the presidential figures coming down the pike.

                President figures have been around in one form or another since the 70s. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, JFK, Ike, and now Clinton, Trump, Obama, and Bush...pick your flavor and decade, Plastic Presidents have been around for 50 years.

                  It's entirely someone's choice to spew their political thoughts onto an action figure. We're grown-ups and we are capable of not commenting, I certainly have. There is too much discord on the subject in this world and this message board will not be a place for it.

                    Before the 70's, didn't Marx have mini statues of every president?

                      Yea they did have the little monotremes I think is the word. I personally was the lucky bearer of a certain James Polk figure from a garage sale when I was but a small child.

                          Yes I still have them and Nixon was the last one made before they stopped. A few years ago they started them up again and they came in small plastic mini bags starting with Ford I think? I got all Presidents up to Trump, so I’ll need to get Biden.

                          They also now have other historical characters besides Presidents, you can find them on ebay.

                          We did have the styrofoam stage where you could place each President by number, but it fell apart.
