The cry heard ’round the Gen XYZ world:

It’s not a doll–it’s an action figure

can now be applied to President-elect Barack Obama. According to a report in the New York Daily News,  at the Scholastic Store in SoHo:

They are literally flying off the shelves. The kids see Obama, and they just want to grab him.

The doll action figure is also available online, along with a John McCain version, which is still selling at full price ($12.99). And for the girl in your life who wants to grow up and be a potential senator from New York State, My Little Pony and some rub-on tattoos make an awesome holiday gift!
