While I know it might seem a bit lofty to expect no political discussion when dealing with an action figure of the person in the highest office. I would like to urge anyone who needs to debate politics here to consider the mego love of this moment, we have another player in the 8’ market.

Also, I cannot go into detail on this but rest assured, future releases from HIA are full of win and you will like them.

Excellent likeness!!

Do they have a website? (It appears that heroesinaction.com goes to a retailer of comics/collectibles, NOT a manufacturer, so it doesn't appear to be them).

Is there a full press release for this (and the company)??

[palitoy]

No Website yet but one is in the works, also I imagine that the figure will eventually be available at the Toy Tokyo Website in the near future. Waiting on confirmation of that and a dozen other things.

There is no full press release for Heroes in Action, I'm not even sure if it's the company or the brand. Although I could probably write one off the top of my head. It's a friend of mine, who has started his own toy company and this is his first release. Packaging shots will follow, I left those at home.

Hey that's a nice likeness! It'd be cool to have all the Prezs in 8" form!

It is a great looking figure.

I've been hearing about this figure for a while now so it's nice to finally see it. It's turned out really well. I hope it does good business as a lot of time and resources have gone into it.

Me wantee!

Of course I want anything that trips my Mego-like sensor. This is going to be a very interesting weekend.

Wow!
So much love for new 8" figures, with many new companies stepping up. I can't wait for a full recap of all the new releases after SDCC.

Has HIA released info yet on their all new 8" body?

I only have prototype shots from a few months ago and I think changes have been made since then.

looks pretty good! it's always great to have new companies bring out different variety of figures!! is heroes in action run by the same person as heroes west coast? were there licensing fees involved?

[highquality]

Wow, whoever it is really went the full distance. I'm a little shocked it's Obama, but I do love the sculpt, overall look and clothing.

Finally a Roger to finish off my What's Happening customs

It certainly is, which explains why i got all this info so late

were there licensing fees involved?

I think the President is fair game.
