It’s An Action Figure, NOT A Doll – Opinions From E. Curtis Johnson

To some people, former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden is a traitor for leaking sensitive U.S. Government intelligence. To others, Snowden is a hero for leaking that our government spied on it’s own citizens and the leaders of our allies. To an on-line company in Beaverton, Oregon, Snowden is now an action figure.

NBC reports that ThatsMyFace.com has added Snowden to its line of 12-inch-tall celebrity dolls. Not since the Betsy Wetsy doll, from the 1960’s, have you been able to purchase a doll famous for leaking.

My name is E. Curtis Johnson. It’s unfortunate the Edward Snowden action figure wasn’t available in ‘60’s when I played with G.I. Joe’s. Commando raids to capture Snowden, who’d taken asylum in Barbie’s Fun House, would have been a great adventure for a kid.

You can purchase the whole Edward Snowden action figure for $99. For $60 you can buy just the head and sew it onto your figurines. I’m not making this up! As a symbolic gesture, the Obama Administration wants just Snowden’s head.
