Ty: Maker of Beanie babies Back in the News over Obama Girlz

Post by disneyboy20022 »

Okay for every Beanie Baby Fan or Ty Fan (that still collects) has hoped for years Ty Warner founder of the Beanie Babies would get back in the news......Although I don't think collector's (what few are left) expected this one......

And I thought the SpiderMan/ Obama Comic Book was the most collectible thing out there that was worth having or talking about that you don't see everyday....

"In related news, bobblehead maker 'WobbleHedz' denied today that their new bobblehead Barack the President was inspired by the new President of the United States, Barack Obama."

Those were obviously made after the Obama girls, and I don't see anything wrong with it. There was a huge thing on the news a few nights ago about how Michelle doesn't like it, but the girls are in the spot light now being the first daughters.

They are Beanie Babies I really see no problem with them at all. The marketing thing around the new first family is getting pretty insane. 4 printings now for the Spider-man comic, and the story is only a few pages. Insane...

Those girls dolls look like some spanish girls ripped right out of Dora the explorer.

I think the dolls look Latina, not like the Obamas.
I would never have guessed they were supposed to be them unless someone told me...

I think it's ridiculous, and I don't blame their mother for not liking it. They're children, and have a right not to be out in the spotlight like that; especially for the sake of some greedy company making a few extra dollars.

It's shameless, and contemptible on the part of the company.
