Ocasio Cortez Doll

(CNN Newsource via FCTRY) NEW YORK, N.Y. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may soon have her own action figure as part of a series of political action figures created by FCTRY.
There is a particularly horrifying episode of Rod Serling'sTwilight Zone titled 'It's a Good Life' (1961). It stars Billy Mumy as a mind-controlling six-year-old boy ('the monster') who lives with his parents in Peaksville, Ohio. The town is completely isolated from the outside world thanks to the satanic powers of little Anthony Fremont. He has taken away cars, electricity, and machines because he doesn't like them. The town subsists only by growing its own food and on other household items they have on hand but are dwindling. He sends people who anger him to the cornfield, never to be seen again. Everyone in the town lives in fear of him. At the end of the episode, he causes heavy snow to fall, which will kill the crops; the town will soon starve.
Does this not sound like what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has in mind for all Americans? Indeed, it does. She not only wants to deprive us all of cars, machines, etc. — all of our modern conveniences that derive from fossil fuels — but has declared herself the 'boss' of us. Because she's the boss, we are all 'just shouting from the cheap seats.' No one in her party is reining her in, pushing back against her ridiculous Green New Deal. They all know it's absurd, but they seem to fear her as the people of Peaksville feared little Anthony. It's hard to imagine that Nancy Pelosi is afraid of her, but it appears she is. Ocasio-Cortez claims to be speaking for the party. Some seventy Democrats have declared they are on board supporting the Green New Deal, including five or six of their declared presidential candidates. This would all seem like a comic parody if it were not happening before our eyes.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Latina congresswoman who has taken Washington by storm in recent times to become somewhat of a role model, now has her own doll.

- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting a plastic figurine that will cement her status as a progressive icon for a new generation — or give conservatives a new reason to despise her.
- The documentary Knock Down the House, which included the story of Ocasio-Cortez and her successful congressional campaign, was nominated for the “Most Compelling Living Subject of a Documentary.” Ocasio-Cortez is included in the nomination, along with Amy Vilela, Cori Bush, and Paula Jean Swearengin, who all ran for office also but lost.
The 30-year-old Democrat joins a select line of other politicians belonging to the party that Jason Feinberg depicts in figurine form at his New York studio.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Parents Wealth
“You know the same way that little kids have heroes that come from movies or from sports, I feel like a lot of adults have heroes that have to do with ideology,” Feinberg, the man behind the new AOC doll, told Efe at his workshop in Brooklyn.
His company, FCTRY, makes 15 figurines in total - most of them Democratic Party politicians.
“I think that all great hero stories involve an ordinary person who transforms into somebody extraordinary,” he said of the congresswoman.
Sitting in front of several of his creations, he recalled how AOC, who was born in the Bronx, had gone on to become one of the most powerful people in the United States.
AOC's reincarnation in doll form is dressed in white and is about 15 centimeters tall.
“We’re trying to choose their most iconic outfit,' said Feinberg of the dolls.
Ocasio Cortez In Bathing Suit
“In the case of AOC, there are a couple of iconic moments where she wore white.”
The outfit is a nod specifically to the day she wore white alongside other congresswomen to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address - a symbolic gesture taken in solidarity with the suffragettes who adopted the color historically during their protests demanding the right to vote.

On the first day the project launched, FCTRY raised $26,000 - $11,000 more than it needed to produce the first batch of 5,000 AOC miniatures.
The AOC figurine will be available from February at a price of $20 - with orders online open now.
Other pieces that Feinberg makes include former President Barack Obama, progressive judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Democratic primary candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
'She represents a new kind of power that I think is really exciting,' Feinberg said.
