I don’t know about you, but if I was a kid who loves sharks, I would be all over this Shark-Shaped Toy Monster Truck and accompanying Shark Dude Action Figure. This toy’s full name Stretch and Strike Thrash Mobile (impressive) and it’s part of the Heroes of Goo Jit Zu action toys series. If you think it just looks cool, check out this description: Continue reading Shark Attack Truck Toy!→
OMG. Of all the trade shows making their way back after a million billion years of Covid, no return to the land-of-the-living has thrilled me more than that of Five Points Festival — the Mother of All Toy Shows — because Five Pointsjust plain rules! If you failed to make that scene, here’s just a smidgeon of what you missed. Losers.
The folks at FCTRY, who’ve been turning cultural and political icons into action figures since 2008, are adding a gorgeous Nancy Pelosi Acton Figure to their already impressive line of progressive heroes that includes RBG, Biden, AOC, Sanders and Hillary (which I own) among many others. Nancy is seen here rocking a hot Pink Dress (earning her the honor of being a Pink Thing of The Day), accessorized  with sensible white pumps, while she carries a white gavel in one hand, and Dump’s hideous wig in another (though I believe that is just a photo prop)! Nancy’s incredible likeness was sculpted by Seattle-based artist Michael Leavitt, whose work you have seen on the blog many times. He is so talented! While FCTRY prepares Nancy’s Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for her series, you can help spread the word about this project and possibly earn a free action figure. To find out how to get a free Nancy Pelosi Action Figure, please click Here, then scroll down to the Quid Pro Quo section. Can’t wait to own this lovely and powerful lady!

Update April 7th, 2021:
