Ah-nold Terminates BubbleHeaded dolls....this is funny
http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/05/01/arnold.doll.ap/index.html

The brothers say they plan to fight for the doll.

"This isn't something we did for a profit," Toby Bosley said.

The Bosleys' business gets about $1.50 per doll, while a fund that provides grants for cancer research gets $5 per the doll. The sale price is $19.95 each.

1. public figure -- fair use!
the vendor has it exactly right. as a movie star, he can control his name and image, at least to some extent. but as a politician, he's foreited any control he had, short of libel/slander, which this plainly isn't.

use of such words as "terminator" or "terminated" is somewhat murkier, but that's not directly relevant to this case.
