Vladimir Putin rides a bear action figure
On January 17, Robert Coalso tweeted an image of Vladimir Putin riding a bear action figure for sale at the Ismailovo market in Moscow.
There’s a Russian website where you can buy the Putin action figure but there are a few catches: you have to either call the distributor directly to make an order or email them and supposedly they’ll write you back. Since this is the case, I have no idea how much the damned thing costs.
That being said, I do not speak or read in Russian, so I’m going to let Google translate the customer testimonials for you. Here goes:
ANNA, marketing manager: “I bought myself a figure - so cool. All her colleagues wanted to. And the delivery fast advise everyone!”
MARK Terskikh, individual entrepreneurs: “Presented at corporate employees. Happy gift, stylish, beautiful and patriotic. Quality figurines on top. Thank U. Ordered to friends.”
ARTEM DOMRACHEV, PR-director: “The wife has long wanted such a figure. Now is the case and the guys helped. Quickly, quickly, efficiently! In general, well done! Thank U!”
STEPHAN TOLMADOV, Art-director: Gave the children of the department, began to shove creative
. Figure actually charges
If these fine testimonials don’t make you want to own one, I don’t what will…

Of course, some Putin haters are going to try and claim it's photo-shopped. Haters are going to hate.
I actually laughed out loud when I saw it.
Funniest thing since the Jesus Pal Sports figures.

An action figure would have kung-fu grip hands with swivel-hinge shoulders. Also, the bear would growl with three or more different sound effects. No wonder the Russian economy is tanking, if they can't even get such basic details right. 
That said, I want one!
