Who said only superheroes could have their own action figures?
The Karens of the world can rejoice as their difficult-to-digest persona now comes in the form of a toy. She has the "Kate Plus 8" haircut from 2009 and a shirt with "Live Laugh Love" on it and I haven't recovered!!! LMBO.
The K-name has been coopted to call out many a “white-lady-with-a-bone-to-pick” socio-cultural faux pas online, spurring slangy put-downs like “Calm down, Karen.”
Karens often demand to “speak to the manager” and act entitled beyond the scope of what is normal.
Pennsylvania-based toy company Namespace unveiled plans to produce 3¾-inch tongue-in-cheek action figures depicting the problematic Karens of the world. There is a KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN to make this doll a reality.
What’s more, the action figure will be sold along with an overworked “Joe the Manager” figure for the bob-cut action figure to hurl insults at.
“We’re looking for fun even in uncertain times like these,” said Matt Jacquot, Namespace sales manager. “And with these two characters, we want to encourage positive change and even foster a little more tolerance.”
