To be fair, this figure is accurate, as this is the outfit that Bush wore when he announced the "end of hostilities in Iraq". (HA!!!!!)
"On May 1, 2003, President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Pacific Ocean, and officially declared the end to major combat in Iraq. While at the controls of an S-3B Viking aircraft from the "Blue Sea Wolves" of Sea Control Squadron Three Five (VS-35), designated "Navy 1," he overflew the carrier before handing it over to the pilot for landing. Attired in full naval aviator flight equipment, the President then took the salute on the deck of the carrier."
I'm actually looking forward to purchasing this, changing its outfit, and using it in some photographic "political cartoons" (such as, Bush dressed as Adolph Hitler....).

There is no such thing as an "Air National Guard Uniform". National Guard members wear the same uniforms as active duty members.

I'm seriously tempted to buy one, so that my G.I. Joe action figure (of a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division*) can kick his ass.
* bought in honor of my brother, a real soldier in Mosul dodging real bullets

Laugh all you want people, but history shows no Viet Cong aircraft were able to penetrate Texas airspace while he was on the job.

From your own link, which you apparently didn't bother to read all the way through:
A review by The Times showed that after a seven-month gap, he appeared for duty in late November 1972 at least through July 1973.
Sullivan conveniently ellipses over that tidbit in his lengthy quote of the same article.

I'm tempted to buy one of these and relable the packaging to read "Special, Draft Dodger Edition" "AWOL President"

The National Guard is not a full-time enlistment. Bush may not have served his enlistment in the standard one weekend a month/one month a year pattern, but he did serve the required number of days.
