The more popular ones will sell quicker but 2 packs Prez/VP would be interesting. Alot of the earlier presidents would have VP duplicates. :freddy3:

If they are trying to avoid controversy, they should keep those two apart.

Marilyn should have her own line anyway. Like the Royals do.

neither, politicians are public figures and thus public domain.


This is incorrect. Politicians still retain their likeness rights, and toys would fall outside of fair use. Most just ignore unauthorized use unless it is defamatory.

Millard Fillmore is my go-to joke president. He’s been the butt of many of my jokes, and I can’t even tell you why.

interesting, I didn't realize I guess I figured Trump and Hillary would've had something to say about the 2016 batch if that were the case.

Some of the Founding Fathers would be cool. Alexander Hamilton would have been a good one to release last year with the craze over the Broadway show. They could do a 2-pack with Hamilton and Burr. As for Presidents themselves, I'd like to see:

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Abraham Lincoln
Ulysses S. Grant
Teddy Roosevelt
Dwight Eisenhower
Richard Nixon

There could also be some cool "moments:" Truman holding paper, Reagan at the Berlin Wall, etc.

lol I definitely am one of those individuals that would throw Obama into a hard stack. You know that everyone has their own favorite political officials. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

I think if we were ever to get presidential pops we would see a lot of customs being made after they came out.
