Have you ever wanted to hug the father of our country?

In real life, George Washington was known to be a hugger. Washington hugged his pal, Lafayette, who was a major-general in the Revolutionary War. On his way to resign his commission, Washington wept unashamedly and embraced each of his officers in appreciation for their camaraderie.

So, go ahead. Hug.

UPG’s George Washington Little Thinker doll is approximately 11" tall and cuddly. But if it makes you uncomfortable, you can always shake him by the hand, pat him on the back, or give him that awkward squeeze-of-the-shoulder thing that passes for a guy-hug.
