12.5-inch Toypresidents Figures
|
 Houston, TX (May 2004) � Coinciding with the now fully engaged presidential campaign season is the availability of Toypresidents™ a dynamic new series of collector-quality, limited edition "talking" presidential action figures. Remarkably detailed from head to toe and speaking actual phrases from their presidential legacies, these historically authentic figures commemorate the Executive office, preserving important times in American history while fostering a greater understanding and respect for our nation's leaders, past and present.
Created by Toypresidents, Inc, each of the twelve and half-inch tall presidential action figures in the collection have been precision-crafted to attain the most accurate likeness and historical authenticity, exemplified by their authentic, hand-stitched, "era-specific" presidential wardrobes made of actual suit fabric. To fully capture their true presidential personas, a built-in audio chip enables them to speak 25 authentic phrases, carefully selected from key speeches and notable events.
For an added touch of dramatic realism, the phrases are spoken in the actual voices of the presidents themselves, with the exception of earlier presidents where no recordings were available. These poignant historic passages relay the character, humor and political ideology of these heroic men during their years in office and time in American history. For example:
"My job is to protect America, and that's exactly what I'm going to do." � George W. Bush
"Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth" � Ronald Reagan
"All free men, wherever they may live are citizens of Berlin and therefore as a free man, I take pride in the words, Ich ben ein Berliner" � John F. Kennedy
Toypresidents, Inc., has made every effort to dress each action figure in the presidential attire that not only reflects their particular era in history, but also their distinctive personalities and images. For example, Presidents George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and John F. Kennedy wear hand-tailored presidential suits complete with jacket lining, authentic hand-tied double Windsor knotted neckties, socks and shoes.
 Toypresident George W. Bush is outfitted in a conservative, navy blue suit and realistic western style boots adorned with the Presidential Seal. The high-quality miniature American flag metal pin worn on his lapel and his stern determined expression clearly depict a man facing a difficult time in American history.
Toypresident Abraham Lincoln wears an authentic hand tied cravat and a hand-tailored double-breasted wool overcoat and vest. His famous stovepipe hat is also included. A long brown overcoat and brown hand tailored buttoned vest give Toypresident Theodore Roosevelt the distinctive earthy look reminiscent of his era.
"The collectability factor is extremely important to us," says Dwayne Crosby, VP of marketing and sales for Toypresidents, Inc. "When starting this project we wanted to be certain that presidential memorabilia collectors would recognize the authenticity we worked so hard to achieve. That is why everything from the clothes they wear, the words they say, the expression on their faces, and even the collector gift-box are expertly crafted with great care and attention to detail."
The idea to create Toypresidents™ was inspired by the surge in American patriotism following the September 11, 2001 attacks. A year later, Jesse Combs, the president of Toypresidents Inc., created a design, found a manufacturer, and started production. "We are proud of our history and the American political system," says Combs. "We have created these authentic action figures not only as a way to pay homage to our nation's leaders, but also as an important interactive educational tool that makes it fun to learn about these great men, our democratic system of government and what this country stands for. In addition to completing the Toypresidents Collection with all 43 American Presidents, we will be introducing a First Ladies limited edition series in the very near future."
Each presidential figure comes complete with an adjustable display stand as well as a vivid biographical pamphlet and historical timeline including rare photos and a numbered certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing that your replica is one of a limited series.
The following Toypresidents™ are currently available: Presidents George W. Bush Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
