Mikhail Gorbachev was the president of the Soviet Union. He is 9 1/2″ tall. Squeeze him and his mouth opens and he lets a squeaky grunt sound out.His face is hand painted even to the birthmark on his head. He wears a pair of black pants and boots as well as a leather jacket with GORBY embroidered on it. He wears a red and black striped shirt under the jacket. He is made by Dreamworks/Division of Toy Soldiers, Inc. (1990) A real keepsake for someone. He is in his original box and is in excellent condition.
