After its "Kickstarter" campaign surged past its target to raise $15,000 and reached a surprising total of $200,000, FCTRY, a Brooklyn-based product design company, now has the funds to produce and market two new unorthodox "action" figures that it hopes will thrill children everywhere. The two figures are House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and NIAID Director at the National Institutes of Health Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Pelosi figure comes in either a pink or blue dress with a removable face mask. The Fauci figure has a white coat and a removable mask.
The inspiration for the Pelosi figure was "her untiring resistance to Trump's tyranny. Just imagine how much worse things would be if she hadn't been there to thwart Trump's insidious efforts to accelerate economic growth and lower the unemployment rates of every demographic category. Likewise, Dr. Fauci's ingenious idea to get the very germophobic President Trump to let governors lock down the economy in their states, shutter nonessential businesses, and maintain an elevated level of unreasoning fear proved crucial in interrupting the runaway prosperity that could have resulted in an easy reelection for Trump."
Previous "action" figures in the company's series included: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris, Pope Francis, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and President Barack Obama. Each figure retails for $20.
"These heroes give us all a sense of hope," the company brochure says. "Without the firm guiding hand of these paragons on the necks of the American people our society would devolve into the anarchic chaos of uncontrolled individualized pursuit of happiness. It is because of them that the dream of having all march to the beat of the same drum is alive and thriving today."
