Jesse Ventura, man of action!

The Ventura dolls are back in all new-forms for the holidays. Our illustrious governor may be the only political leader to punt Ken out of the Barbie Dreamhouse.

The new Ventura dolls have the kung fu grip for fighting over budget wrangles. They are dressed for action, ready to dodge any pie which may be lobbed their way, or to take on any newspaper which finds fault with their policies, personal or public.

Getting a Ventura doll for a child is getting them more than a toy with accompanying Saturday cartoon. Though some may think Ventura puts on a cartoon with every public appearance, a Ventura doll brings a political leader into the house. Kids can play "I was misquoted!" or "Meet the Big Plan."

The dolls are all in fun, but government usually isn’t. Still, it’s nice to have an elected official in the house, even if he is a bit stiff.
