Some fun and exciting news to share. Nancy Pelosi is joining the team 🎉
We launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Pelosi Action Figure yesterday and the response was downright overwhelming -- it hit its funding goal in just over one hour! There are still 29 days left to go in the campaign but the people have already spoken.
Here she is. The newest addition to our lineup.
Some news for your Friday- the AOC Kickstarter campaign closes tonight at 11:59pm EDT! If you want to add AOC to your Real Life Action Figure collection or secure some limited-edition goodies, check out the Kickstarter campaign here. 🙌
With love,

Just two years ago, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was waiting tables and tending bars in New York City. Now, she is one of the most influential politicians in the United States – but more importantly, she’s becoming an action figure!
That’s right, our AOC Kickstarter was funded in a little over two hours, which means if you back the campaign, you’re guaranteed your very own AOC and you’ll also increase the chances of unlocking some super fun stretch goals… stay tuned!
Just like RBG, AOC was designed by Seattle-based artist and activist, Mike Leavitt. She stands at six inches tall, just over an inch wide, and features the congresswoman’s signature red lip, gold hoop earrings, pulled-back hair, iconic white inauguration suit, and bendable arms — ready to knock down the house.
Now that the project is funded, we plan to align the AOC Action Figure with the Sunrise Movement—a grassroots organization that works alongside the real AOC, championing the Green New Deal. Check out our Kickstarter campaign here and add AOC to your Real Life Action Figure collection.
We thought you could use some good news, so here it is. We’ve just added the trailblazing Billie Jean King to our roster of action figures. As the number one tennis player in the world, she didn’t just tear it up on the court. In one of the most legendary moves in sports history, BJK forced the US Open to award equal pay to male and female players. And that was just the beginning...
The real BJK is a huge RBG fan (just like you!) and said, “It is an honor to have an action figure in my likeness and to be part of the FCTRY collection alongside Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other powerful leaders. I hope this will help young people learn more about history and that it will inspire them to shape the future.”
Our new Billie Jean King Action Figure was lovingly sculpted by the one and only Mike Leavitt, who crafted your picture-perfect RBG. The best part? 5% of sales from the BJK Action Figure are going to the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, a super cool non-profit started by BJK and her partner Ilana Kloss to fight for equality and inclusivity in the workplace!
Even more good news? We didn’t crowdfund this time around so she’s ready to ship right away.
Hope you have an awesome day!
