Not sure if the mention below of him being a new partner for Barbie are really fair. Given that they're quoting the doll as being 40cm tall and my quick research tells me that Barbie clocks in at about 30cm they're not really a close match-up. They should have done it the other way around. Either way, I reckon even Crystal Ken will be able to kick his goose-stepping arse.
I'm somewhat disturbed to notice that I also started the Bavarian Barbie thread about four years ago. I'm not into dolls. Honest injun.

Being a plastic, inanimate doll isn't all pink corvettes, ponies and Paris fashions. Sometimes you have to take one for the team. Even if that means shacking up with a genocidal maniac against your will.
But thanks to a Ukrainian toy company, the Barbies of Kiev may be bracing themselves for their most challenging role yet -- that of Eva Braun.
Ignoring the law that bans Nazi images and positive depictions of the Nazi regime, the toy manufacturer in question has created a 40-cm (16-inch) Adolf Hitler doll, complete with moving parts and a wardrobe of Third Reich outfits.
The leader of Nazi Germany will first be available in two styles: Early Days Adolf and Wartime Adolf.

One byproduct children's playing is socialization, and for the socialization to be successful children need good models. What kind of a sick parent would want their child to emulate Hitler???
