Toy company FCTRY, based in Brooklyn, New York, has decided to make action figures of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The company ran a Kickstarter campaign several weeks ago to earn funds for the project. Their initial goal was $30,000. They have since well exceeded their goals, earning $146,634 from donors.
The company wrote on their Kickstarter page,
Think back to the first time you heard the name Zelenksy. If you’re American, it was probably in 2019, when those audio recordings surfaced. The ones where he was the obscure foreign leader on the other end of a phone call, being extorted by none-other-than Donald Trump.
Ultimately, the impeachment came and went. It basically fizzled. You’d be forgiven for thinking that would be the end of the story.
Flash forward…
It’s 2022 and, all of sudden, there’s a full-on war erupting in Europe. Putin’s on the march. Tanks are rolling. Guns are firing. Bombs are dropping. And there he is again, right in the middle of it – Zelensky. We know that name, don’t we?
It’s that very same man but he seems transformed. The suit and tie are gone. The polite, diplomatic filters have been removed. Now he’s David facing Goliath. It’s a terrible spot to be in – but it would be also be hard to imagine anyone handling it better.
He’s not a superhero. But he sure is heroic.
$20 donors will receive one action figure, $40 donors will receive the original figure and another one with the idol of Zelensky in a slightly different costume, and $100 donors would get 6 original figurines.
Reuters reported that these figures will be mass produced in China.
The way we framed him in the campaign is ‘the unlikely hero.’
He’s the perfect leader for this moment, just this super inspirational character.
He has this real strength that comes across, but it’s humble and he sort of represents the opposite of everything that we’ve come to associate with politics.
Jason Feinberg, FCTRY’s chief executive and creative director, told Reuters.
FCTRY has also made figurines for other politicians, such as President Obama, Bernie Sanders, AOC, and so forth.
The company has also pledged to donate $1 to Ukrainian refugees for each figure sold.
One month ago The WinePress reported on Zelensky and his wife’s glitzy photoshoot for Vogue.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[4] Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. [5] They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: [6] They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: [7] They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. [8] They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.Psalms 115:4-8
Not quite gold and silver, but I think you get the idea…
[9] They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. [10] Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? [11] Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. [13] The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
Isaiah 44:9-11, 13; 45:16
Obviously these are a bunch of narcissistic, confounded progressives who are just sucking up to the narrative. How twee of them.
Foolish “Christians” Are Now Claiming That Ukrainian President Zelensky Is The Antichrist
It still does not cease to amaze me the idolatry of this man, but that only demonstrates the power of propaganda for you!
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I saw that and I said “oh brother!”
Further proving that this war is a proxy and only setting the stage for a real one.
A Zelensky action figure? What about a Xi Jinpeng action figure or one of Putin?
Did you know that they made a children’s book talking about the life of Fauci? Not the same as an action figure but the same basic idea.
