Here is a quick review of the new Heroes in Action President Obama figure.
Obama appears to have a new body. Its stamped Heroes in Action on the back. Unfortunately, he stands a bit tall compared to a Mego. I measured him at about 8 1/2 inches with his shoes on. The body feels very solid and has nice tight joints. It doesn't use rubber bands to hold the limbs on, but is more like a Famous Cover body. He has quite a bit of articulation. I didn't take his clothes all the way off, so I didn't count the points, but he does appear to have swivel biceps along with the usual Mego articulation.
I didn't take his head off, but it doesn't use the Mego style of head. It can both turn from side to side and nod up and down. The head is solid and hold very sharp details. The hand look nice. On mine, the right hand's thumb is more opened than the left. Look like it could hold an accessory, but none came with the figure.
The suit is very nice. The stitching and details are excellent! They used velcro to make the clothing removable. However, its very thin velcro that doesn't seem to snag on the cloth.
The tie is a separate piece with a stretchy loop to hold it on. The shoes slip off and have a different shape for the left and right side. The pants have a small piece of velcro on the fly. The shirt has nice small buttons and is also held together with velcro on the front. The jacket has a small piece of velcro to keep it shut.
Overall, its a very nice figure and excellent clothing. He is well proportioned and looks sharp.
