Company to ship Ruth Bader Ginsburg action figures in October
By Aris Folley - 08/13/18 10:37 AM EDT



A company that created a successful Kickstarter campaign to make a Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg action figure says it is planning to ship the products in October.

Fctry, a product incubator based in Brooklyn, N.Y., initially hoped to raise $15,000 to create the “Notorious RBG” superhero but instead raised over $613,700 on its Kickstarter crowdfunding page.

Zoe Cronin, the company’s marketing coordinator, said it was "shocking" that the funding campaign reached the initial goal in less than an hour.

“The $15,000 is really the base level of what we need to begin production,” Cronin told AM New York. “We actually hit that in under an hour of starting the project, which was kind of shocking.”

They are missing out on a marketing opportunity by not offering a second seated version, leaning slightly forward with the head horizontal, bobblehead.

Why is the "action" figure holding an American flag? Maybe a UN or EU flag would be more appropriate.

Darn it!  Too bad they didn't make on of her 'bench pressing' or doing 'planks' ... now that would be a seriously fun action figure to have! :rolling: :rolling:

I receive a music catalog every couple of months. The latest one has a classical CD of works based on RBGs life and her legal writings. Good grief!!!   :silly: :silly: :silly:

Good thing about most of her legal writings, public domain. Someone probably was trying to cheap out on content creation.

She's full-throated and we've upgraded the figure to be more lifelike and accurate:

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I swear she could be part of the Weeping Angels. A race of predatory creatures who are quantum locked.  She will only move when no one is watching.  So don't blink or turn off the lights.

Yeah. Wouldn't want to get caught using RBG 'action figures' for BB-gun targets nowadays....
