Ananova:

Venezuela's top-selling toy this Christmas was an action doll figure of President Hugo Chavez.

Different versions of the doll include one in a combat uniform and one another which reads one of the president's anti-American speeches.

A spokesman for one of the country's leading toy shops told Estado de Sao Paulo: "It was amazing, the Hugo Chavez doll sold a lot more than Spiderman, Superman or any other toy this year.

"Our president really is our favourite hero!"
