The ultimate DU collectible!

I present Super Nixon!



I found this horror show at an estate sale a while back. I'm guessing that it is some sort of campaign novelty item. The stamp on the hand says ROACH '70. Does anyone know what it is from?

1. Very unusual item!

Could it have been designed by Ruth Roach?

2. What's it made of?? nt

3. Super Nixon is made of somewhat flexible plastic and... well...

...pure evil. It is slightly larger than my hand.

4. It's definitely weird. I've never seen anything like it. nt

6. The thing I don't get is that there doesn't seem to be any way to display Super Nixon on a wall.

Super Nixon doesn't seem to be able to do anything... except sit on flat surfaces. I just don't get it.

5. I have a very large pin that says

"Yes Nixon, No Jelly". I thought that that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen, but this I think wins hands down.

7. When I saw your thread title, I called "Skeptical Alert: Snark Generators to full speed!"

Clearly, I was wrong. Very, very wrong.
That's just SOMETHING right there!

8. That's a keeper

He was pretty awful. But in recent years, Nixon's stock has risen when he's compared to W's administration. So this unique nugget would be sought after. I remember those years and never saw one.

My grandmother had a Nixon shopping bag that I've kept all these years. Not in the best of shape but I keep it tucked away.
