Move Over Dora and Make Room for Hugito

08:13 H | Topics: Venezuela

Children and adults in the poorer neighborhoods of the Venezuelan capital of Caracas weren't asking for superheroes or baby dolls under their arbolito de Navidad. They were asking for their president. The talking Hugo Chávez doll, which comes dressed in a military uniform or in the traditional red shirt of his party, the Movimiento V República will recite portions of the actual President's speeches when you press a button. Needless to say, in the wealthier barrios of Caracas, the Hugo Chávez didn't even make it on the shelves.

These are even better than the Jesus Christ super heroes. I think they've been around for a few years though.
