Sarah Palin all dolled up
Action dolls have gone on sale of Sarah Palin who John McCain has chosen to be his Republican presidential running mate.
Two 12-inch dolls are on sale - Sarah Palin the Executive and Sarah Palin the Super Hero - from toy company Hero-builders for about £16 each.
Sarah Palin the Executive is dressed in a formal business suit while Sarah the Super Hero sports a long black coat, white mini-skirt and a revolver strapped to a thigh.
Hero-builders founder Emil Vicale said: "I expect the the gun-toting doll will sell the better of the two. She's tough, she's a hunter, a real action hero."
They are designed to capitalise on Sarah Palin mania that has gripped Republicans after the electrifying speech by the self-confessed "hockey mom" at the party convention in St Paul, Minnesota.
Mr McCain was greeted by a crowd chanting "Sa-rah, Sa-rah!", "John Mc-Cain, John Mc-Cain!" and "U-S-A!"
Mrs Palin spelt out the McCain campaign plans to take on Obama Barack in the final 60 days before November's election.
The dolls are the latest in a line of American political candidates who have been immortalised including John McCain and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The McCain model winds up and toddles along, The Biden model is powered by pulling a string, it talks and never shuts up. The Obama model was almost recalled when it was found that when the button his back was pushed it would repeat the phrases, ummmm and ahhhh, over and over again.
Later, the voice recording was found to be vocally and politcally correct.
