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.â€

One double a battery required for the snoring sound effects.

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.

Sounds as thrilling as watching this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187513/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187513/)
GI Joe will look like The Flash in comparison.

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....
