Elizabeth Warren Action Figure Made In Brooklyn To 'Slap Down Trump's Policies'

Sen. Warren reportedly responded to the news she could be an action figure, "That's cool."

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Donald Trump is scowling into the camera when suddenly a small fist comes from out of nowhere, punches him in the face and knocks him to ground. Who is the culprit?

It’s Elizabeth Warren, the action figure.

This small scene is part of a new Kickstarter campaign from FCTRY — a Brooklyn-based company that specializes in turning political figures into toys — that’s hoping to release a new action-packed Elizabeth Warren doll.

The fun-sized Massachusetts senator features a “righteous fist” to help her fight for the middle class, a power blazer “to help her topple the patriarchy” and one open hand “to help her smack down Trump’s policies,” according to the designers.

FCTRY first earned a reputation for its political collection in 2008 when cofounders Jason Feinberg and Alyssa Zeller Feinberg released a miniature Barack Obama.

The company has since expanded the collection to include a pantsuit-clad Hillary Clinton, a wildly gesticulating Bernie Sanders and a Donald Trump doll with removable hair.

FCTRY’s Elizabeth Warren Kickstarter earned around $30,000 — more than twice the amount the toymakers need to finance the tiny boxer — when it launched on Tuesday.

A Kickstarter contribution of $19 buys supporters one Elizabeth Warren action hero, $39 buys “Two Peas In a Pod” — Warren and Sanders — and $75 buys “Warren, Hillary, Bernie + Evil Trump.”

The company promised to share Warren doll proceeds with Emily’s List, an activist group that helps women get elected into office.
