A Brooklyn-based product design firm which sells Unicorn Snot lip gloss and gnome-shaped crayons has created a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the mass production of a Sen. Elizabeth Warren action figure.
The design company, FCTRY, had already met its modest Kickstarter fundraising goal of $15,000 on Monday night — an impressive feat, notes Heat Street, because the official launch of the campaign was not until Tuesday morning.
As of Wednesday afternoon, FCTRY has raised $50,870 for its dream of making and selling Elizabeth Warren action figures.
Over 1,600 people have helped finance the Warren action figures.

FCTRY describes itself as “a pretty well-known product design company” with “plenty of know-how and experience when it comes to creating and distributing fun products.”
“We needed to make Elizabeth Warren into an action figure,” the company’s Kickstarter campaign explains.
The company promises to “go straight into production” “to mass produce the first run of Elizabeth Warren Action Figures” once it receives its Kickstarter funding.
The Elizabeth Warren action figure will feature a “righteous fist” (which can be raised) and a pointedly rolled-up sleeve. The Warren action figure will be wearing a “red power blazer,” “comfortable slacks” and “sensible boots.” (RELATED: These Senators Opposed Vouchers Backer Betsy DeVos But Send THEIR Kids To Fancypants Private Schools)
The basic Elizabeth Warren action figure will cost $19. Or you can have two for $39 — which, for the record, is $1 more than the cost of making two separate purchases of a single Elizabeth Warren action figure.
The benefit of buying two Warren action figures for $39 appears to be free shipping.
You can also buy a Warren action figure and a Bernie Sanders action figure for $39 with free shipping. (RELATED: FEEL THE FAIL: Bernie Sanders Supporters Are Sad Because They Can’t Win Any Elections)
A trio of action figures featuring the likenesses of Warren, Sanders and a blue-pants-suited Hillary Clinton can be yours for $59.
There’s also a Donald Trump action figure. The plastic Trump figurine on offer is flipping off everyone and everything.
FCTRY’s first foray into the political action figure business was back in 2008 when the company gave America a Barack Obama action figure.
“We got fired up, realizing we could use the toy’s sales to help raise funds for the actual Obama campaign!” the firm enthusiastically recollects in its Warren Kickstarter campaign explanation. “By donating a portion of our sales, we raised over $10,000 for Obama and the DNC that year.”
