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.
