Election 2008 Play Art Dolls

Glubble users who have installed our latest version already have seen and likely played with our Gotcha’s – little paper dolls that you print, fold and play with. Each of these Gotcha’s we design ourselves and most of them represent fantasy figures. Too me these Gotcha’s are a real treat. Creating them, and playing with them just nourishes the ‘playful child’ in me.

We’ve been preparing the concept, story lines, characters and structure for some weeks now – we will even launch a special Gotcha web site very soon – and created a variety of different sets. Most of the Gotcha’s will be uploaded to the Gotcha section of Glubble’s Kids page so you can all enjoy them. Some of them we make on special requests – if you’re a designer you know how this works – and some we make cause we think its just funny. Perhaps we decide to release all of these one day to complete your collection of Gotcha’s.

One of these special sets we created is the “Election 2008″ which contains Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, the 4 presidential candidates. I’ve been a little reluctant to release these 4 Gotcha characters. Not that I don’t like them, or that we made fun of the characters. We didn’t, we’ve treated all 4 candidates with equal respect and tried to capture some of their outstanding features. My concern is more based on the fact that I’m very cautious with pushing politics to very young children. I mean I’ve seen companies that offer products for the very young polling their users about the Elections. Of course there’s no harm in getting young children involved and educate them. But polling is marketing imo. That has nothing to do with getting involved or education. And it makes you wonder what else they have in mind for our youngest.

Anyway, after discussing these issues with several people I decided to release them. (Thanks to all who pointed out to me that our ‘Election 2008″ characters are just fun and don’t push anything.) I won’t upload them to our Kids pages yet, but you can download them here.

If you like to share your thoughts with me and think there is no harm involved releasing them to our kids page please do so.

Meantime enjoy this limited set. Tip: print your favorite on a larger sized paper so it will stand out
