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 refused to buy the Trump one, even though my cousin said she was going to have all the other action figures do bad things to hers! I really don't want the "baddies", I have all I can take of them in the real world. I've been patiently (ok maybe not so patiently) waiting and waiting for more "goodies". We need to get Michele Obama, Gretchen Whitmer, Pete Buttigieg, Jill Biden, etc…etc..
When you make the villains give customers the option to pay double so half may go to charity. Each villain could represent a specific charity (ex. Villain Putin funds Ukraine charity). Customers who don’t want to pay for EVIL may change their mind for charity; like me.
I do hope you are just April Fooling us and intend to make these 2 bad dudes. You’ve got my money, if so. Terrific idea on Fctry’s part!
My thoughts? I underdstand your business is to make money. However I would not glorify this scumb with honorable likenesses. Make them a little more humiliating please. But I still don’t want one. Perhaps make them all in a Daisey Chain.
Someone mentioned also, Taylor Swift, How about the EPIC Dolly Parton. Composer, Musician, Singer… she has it all! Beyoncé also has incredible range of music genre's and performance/Creation chops! .
