For my money, the light-saber battle

Sasha and Malia have Ty Girlz dolls. Barack has a samurai sword and lightsaber-wielding action figure. Michelle has to make due with a paper doll for now (http://z.hubpages.com/u/536990_f260.jpg), but I'm sure that a bunch of new First Lady dolls are in the works.
