However, what they do have is a Baracku00a0 Obama inflatable love doll, dressed up in a suit with his picture silk screened on the face. The doll was exhibited at the 8th Sex Culture Festival in the southern city of Guangzhou.
Anyone who wanted to get in to see the merchandise on exhibit at the festival had to pay an admission fee of about $6 (Rs 265), which is a hefty sum when measured against Chinese wages.
Obama T-shirt
President Obama is very popular in China, where a t-shirt with the name Maobama is a best seller.
As its name suggests, the picture on the t-shirt is a cross between that of Chairman Mao and Obama. Unlike the US, such a comparison is presumably not an insult.
The doll as well as the sex expo in Guangzhou would never have been possible when Chairman Mao was alive.
The sex show was open only to adults. The expo was visited by "tens of thousands" of people,
said a spokesperson for the Guangdong Gongchuang Economic Development company, the organisers.
The organiser said that other than the Obama doll, the other star attraction was a female doll costing 98,000 yuan. (Rs 6,50,000).
"We do not know which manufacturer produced this doll," the spokesman added.
Features
The organisers said that when the doll's ears were pulled, it said:
"I vow to redistribute wealth to the least deserving!"
"I will dismantle the imperialistic war machine!"
"All health matters
will funnel through Washington!!!
"I will pursue war crime charges against Bush!!!!!"
Responses
However, the picture of the Obama doll, which circulated on the Chinese internet, drew an wide array of responses.
"How could they place the US president behind those other poorly-made models. He is the head of a big country, after all," wrote one anonymous commentator on an internet forum.
"Why can't we have a Mao Tse-tung toy?" asked another.
However, Obama is not the first US politician to have a sex doll modelled after him.
Before him, a sex doll was also made on the lines of Sarah Palin. The adult toy manufacturer Topco Sales had announced that they would be selling an inflatable sex doll called the This is Not Sarah Palin Inflatable Love Doll online and in stores.
The Palin blow-up doll was to be manufactured in China. The Sarah Palin Sex Doll is a busty, doll conservatively dressed but does not really look like the real Palin. The doll earned a lot of media coverage during the vice-presidential candidacy.
Obama fever
In 2009, the Barack Obamau00a0 shaped dildo was manufactured in USA. The Official Obama Pleasure Toy, dubbed the Head O State, stood at 7.5 inches tall, measured two inches in diameter and weighed 14 ounces.

The cost of the toy was $21.95 (Rs 1,000)
In 2008, Obama condoms were created. Nearly 5,00,000 condoms have been sold and shipped to over 60 different countries.
The condom is created by the New York City company Practice Safe Policy. The company also makes a McCain Condom and a Palin Condom.
