Who's Fooling Who Here?

Who's Fooling Who Here?

So, on Monday we unveiled our big new product launch... a duo of dictators, featuring Putin and Kim Jong Un Action Figures. Mind you, it wasn't just any old Monday. It was Monday, April 1.

You see where this is headed, right? Those who made it to the very end of the (oddly obtuse) purchase process were hit with the the following message: 

"GOTCHA 😜 HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!!"

But our fans - never ones to take things lying down - pulled a little April Fool's judo on us and started filling up the reviews section on our imaginary product page with the most hilariously animated/disgruntled/enthusiastic reviews we've ever seen.

Rather than tell you, we're just gonna show you. We've embedded the actual reviews down below for your enjoyment.

You'll notice there's a strong recurrent theme...

It seems like people really want us to make these guys. 

HMMMMM... 🤔

I thought it was a April Fools Joke so I did not preorder…Now I gotta tell you, I think it would be a great Idea! Only because my Trump in Jail needs as many friends as he can get!!!

I can understand some people wanting the bad guys, but I won't buy them. I want more good guys, especially US politicians who are responsible and do their job. How about Andy Kim, the soon-to-be senator from NJ? Who cleaned up the capitol rotunda after the rioters trashed it?

As others have said, other than orange jumpsuit Trump, I would not buy the bad guys. How about José Andrés, with a portion of proceeds going to World Central Kitchen?

Definitely would add these to the collection …. After all, these are the players that are playing with our players. 👍

I would definitely purchase these to add to the collection. If we can get Trump in a prison jumpsuit, we should be able to get these guys too.

Fun!

I'd order them. Hey! How about a chess set? Mabie Democrats / Republicans. Or world leaders? 🤷‍♂️ Something fun!

If you end up making these…

Just in case you bow to the overwhelming pressure to make these two, I have a few suggestions: Putin’s expression is too much like a sad puppy-dog face; it needs to show the cold, dead, soul-less eyes of a calculating, evil murderer. (And please make him shirtless, so he looks vulnerable and subject to ridicule, rather than the noble soldier pictured here. Only Zelenskyy should look like a strong and valiant fighter.) Kim needs a few more pounds on him. (Love the sunglasses, though! Closest thing to HIS cold, dead soul-less eyes…) And if you’re planning to bundle them in a set with DJT for a Terrorist Trifecta, they need to be shorter than Trump; he likes his heroes especially when he towers over them. Makes him feel like such a Big Boy. While I prefer to purchase your line of uplifting and heroic figures, these changes would allow me to look at your product pages without gagging or hyperventilating!

Do you have thoughts? Of course you do!
