Navy SEALs have become national heroes since news broke that they took down Osama bin Laden, so it’s fitting that the newest action figure from a Connecticut company is a fierce-looking President Barack Obama as a SEAL.

The minute Obama said late on the night of May 1 that the U.S. had found and killed bin Laden, Emil Vicale knew which his action figure company’s would make next — Rambama.

On Wednesday morning, Hero Builders released the Obama SEAL Team 6 action figure — a muscular President in fatigues armed with an M1-A4.

Vicale, who owns the custom action figure company in Oxford, said the speech was a pivotal moment in the Obama presidency.

1. If the speech was a pivotal moment in the Obama presidency,

why not a speech doll?

3. It would be tempting to get a bunch of those

and display them prominently where one's teabagger/freeper acquaintances could see them.

12. Gotta get the kidlings on board early

And what better way than with a warm-and-fuzzy doll action figure designed to make extra-legal killing palatable? See kids: Violence is the most effective tool for overcoming violence. Might makes right. Darkness drives out darkness. Now a moment of prayer silence for the Missile, the Bomb and the Holy Rifle as we conclude this service of the High Church of Redemptive Violence.

Amen.

17. Well I assume it comes with the wide range of action pals and equipment.

"Joey Don't Ask" the crazy gay that acts before thinking.

"Hilly" the action gal with a heart of gold and a mind for action.

"Joe" the go to guy for laughs and needing help in a pinch.

"Rahmmy" teh slacker. Nuff said!

Solar War Wagon 1...runs on the sun and is a hot sonofabitch. Cool paint job by National Endowment for the Arts boys.

18. I love it only because it will piss off rethugs. And they deserve it after

all their belittling of Obama for actually getting the job done.
