# Disgraced Mayor Action Figures Nuffsaid78 Sold His Custom-Made Rob Ford Toy on eBay By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-02-17 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rob-ford-toy References: [nydailynews](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/mayor-rob-ford-action-figure-sold-ebay-article-1.1612757) & [ebay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/custom-Marvel-Legends-Toronto-Mayor-Rob-Ford-/161218374455) A Rob Ford toy was recently up for bid by eBay seller Nuffsaid78. The Toronto Mayor had become rather infamous after it was revealed that he had smoked crack. Standing at a height of 6.5-inches with approximately 28 points of articulation, this Rob Ford action figure captures the likeness of the controversial mayor of Toronto with a surprising amount of detail and high quality craftsmanship. The custom-made action figure of the mayor ended up selling for $99.99, though Nuffsaid78 had been hoping for $300. Rather than making him look like a bumbling fool, this Rob Ford toy gives him a more sinister quality, similar to that of a G.I. Joe villain. Naturally the Rob Ford action figure is not meant as kid's toy, but is intended for adults. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [World News](https://www.trendhunter.com/worldnews) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Controversial Political Action Figures:** Create custom-made figures of controversial politicians to cater to adult collectors. - **Collector's Item Articulated Figures:** Design a line of highly detailed articulated figures that satisfy the needs of hobbyists and collectors. - **Political Satire Toys:** Create political satire toys that appeal to the sense of humor of adults who follow current events. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Introduce a line of controversial political action figures that cater to the adult market. - **Collectibles:** Design a line of articulated figures that collectors can add to their collection. - **Novelties and Souvenirs:** Create a range of political satire toys that caters to the adult who likes to keep up with current events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villainous Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-goblin.md) - [Pixelated Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-legends-portal.md) - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Hyperrealistic Musician Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitzway-kurt-cobain-figurine.md) - [Hero-Inspired Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jada-toys.md) - [Custom Face Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity-program.md) - [NFT-Inspired Vinyl Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbored-vinyl-art-toys.md) - [Angry Customer Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namespace.md) - [Hyper-Detailed Articulating Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-starting-lineup.md)
