Here you go boys and girls... The Adolf Hitler doll, no shittin', on sale in the Ukraine! This is just to freaking weird for me to make up even though this was in the "Daily Mail."
The Adolf Hitler doll which comes with a change of clothes - and a spare head with a kind face Last updated at 21:06pm on 23rd April 2008
An action-man style doll of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler has gone on sale in the Ukraine, with saleswomen comparing the doll to Barbie.
Supermarkets in the capital Kiev are stocking the 40 centimetre high figure of the fuhrer, complete with jackboots, leather trench-coat and swastika armband.
The £100 figure has a spare head "with a kind expression on it," glasses and several changes of clothes.
It comes in a presentation box with the dates of Hitler's birth and death on it.
The decision to market the figure comes at a time of growing extreme right political sentiment in Ukraine.
There are also reports of increasing xenophobia and racism, and of some extremists supporting racism similar to that of Nazi Germany under Hitler.
Critics believe a cult of Hitler could spring up among disaffected youths, too young to remember the ravages Nazism wreaked on the country.
Around three million people died as a result of the Nazi occupation of the Ukraine, including 1.5 million Jews.
Hitler wanted to turn the country into a buffer zone with Russia peopled by slave workers working for the Third Reich.
Although Ukranian laws prohibit any form of fascism or propaganda, the dolls are already on sale and will be mass marketed this summer.
One saleswoman said: "It is like Barbie. Kids can undress fuhrer, pin on medals and there's a spare head in the kit to give him a kinder expression on his face.
"He has glasses that are round, in the manner of pacifist Jon Lennon".
The doll will also come with accessories like a miniature Blondi, Hitler's faithful Alsatian who died alongside the Nazi in his bunker in Berlin in 1945.
The doll is dressed in long light-brown cloak, military uniform and jackboots.
According to the saleswoman, should the demand be high, manufacturers will go further and launch a series of themed Third Reich toys, including interiors of Hitler's chancellery, toy concentration camps with barbed wire, barracks and operating models of gas chambers and crematoriums.

^ Yeah, national-socialism and extreme-rightwing assholes are really "hip" in the Eastern European countries...there`s loads of neo-Nazi dickheads running around there and beating up & even killing innocent people on the street.
The real definition of heartburn.... "Excuse me, gotta light?"
So much determination....

Look out below.... One more thing you can add to the list about protesting anything Chinese...
Baby-eating photos are part of Chinese artist's performance
STAFF WRITER Friday, Mar 23, 2001, Page 2
Following the publication of an article in a Malaysian weekly tabloid that alleged a Taiwanese restaurant served the meat of human infants, the Taiwan government has taken steps to ensure the publisher prints a retraction.
Yuan Kai-sheng (袁凱聲), a Government Information Office (GIO) official, said the government had filed a complaint with the Perdana newspaper and requested that a correction be published. He said the tabloid had apologized to the GIO for publishing the story.
The offending article was first made public on Wednesday by People First Party Legislator Chin Huei-chu (秦慧珠).
The pictures were in fact part of a performance by Shanghai-based artist Zhu Yu (朱昱), entitled Man-eater (食人).
However, Perdana's news story claimed that the photos were of a Taiwanese restaurant in which human fetuses are served to customers.
Zhu has created a series of art performances entitled Infatuation on Injures (對傷害的迷戀) -- among them are the works he named Man-eater and Canned human brains (罐裝腦漿).
The Chinese-language press quoted Zhu as saying during an interview on Wednesday that he intended to discuss life and death through his works.
By eating six-month-old human fetuses obtained from abortions, he posed a challenge to traditional ethics, he maintained to the press.
Born in 1970, Zhu said that he wanted to know if we could change our human culture in which we fear death and pursue eternal life.
To create Man-eater, he said he cooked the corpses of babies that had been stolen from a medical school.
Zhu admitted that the meat obtained from the bodies tasted bad, and said he had vomited several times while eating it. However, he said, he had to do so "for art's sake."
Though his works have sparked criticism, Zhu has achieved fame within China's avant-garde art circles.
In another work, Canned human brains, Zhu immersed human brains in glass jars, which also caused a stir. This story has been viewed 126431 times.
