Last year saw the introduction of the first Hillary Clinton action figure, and as the 2016 presidential election heats up, its only fair that Bernie Sanders be miniaturized as well. So starting today you can pre-order the first Bernie figure, and help his campaign at the same time.

Designed by FCTRY (the same people behind the Hillary figure) and artist Mike Leavitt, the Bernie Sanders figure certainly looks the part, but its light on articulation. Dont expect to pose Bernie like hes roaring into battle. At best youll be able to make him stand behind a podium, ready for his next debate.

Before its made available on FCTRYs website, the Bernie Sanders action figure is premiering on Kickstarter today where it can be pre-ordered for $20. That not only includes the cost of shipping, but if the crowdfunding campaign is successful, $1 from every figure ordered will be donated to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.
And if you need any further convincing about why you need a Bernie Sanders action figure, this commercial, an homage to the classic My Buddy ads from the 80s, will have even Republicans pre-ordering one.

Just because the Donald combs his back hair over his head does not mean it isn't

It goes on the shelf next to the Clinton matryushka doll a relative brought back from Russia years ago. It includes Bill, Hillary, and Monica Lewinsky. A bit of history from a bad year!

(3 posts)5. Bernie Sanders action figure
We just bought two. I guess this crowd funder goal was originally to trying to reach $15,000 (?) and they blew past that in 4 hours. They've now reached over $50,000. And the shipping time of our action figures has moved up from July to March!! Go BERNIE!
