Ohio company settles suit over Schwarzenegger bobblehead doll
Associated Press


The governor has settled a lawsuit against an Ohio firm that produces bobblehead dolls in his image, according to a press release from his production company.

The former Hollywood actor, who is fiercely protective of his image on the stump and on the screen, sued the company in April to halt the production of the plastic dolls that featured a gun- toting Schwarzenegger in a business suit. ...

... The original Schwarzenegger bobblehead was part of a five-doll deal that included several Democratic presidential candidates, organized by Washington, D.C., lobbyist John Edgell to raise money for two cancer and children's charities. ...

... "It was a political statement to tweak Arnold because he pledged to support an assault weapon ban and hasn't done anything," Edgell said. "Also because he stars in all these violent movies and has a pro-kid image ... Schwarzenegger should not be the only public figure immune from the public's right to poke fun at him."
