Make-A-Wish: Action Figure
Razor
11-year-old Jeff wished to have his own action figure designed and created.
The ReSaurus Toy Company jumped in to help Jeff bring his action figure to the stores. Jeff submitted his designs and then later visited ReSaurus HQ to supervise the final design, creation, and production of Razor. Here's his story:
According to Razor's mom, she knew her baby would be different, especially when she saw Razor's egg glowing in her nest. Razor would have the ability to move much faster than the average bird, due to his exposure to radiation. After losing his mom, Razor was cared for by a scientist for the remainder of his childhood. After growing into a crime-fighting superhero with the ability to glide through the air at lightning speeds, Razor still communicates with his scientist via his special glowing belt. After being joined by his faithful sidekick, Gizmo the Fighting Ferret, the tandem serves as a remedy for crime and injustice all over the world.
Jeff continued overseeing the painting, casting, and sanding process. Razor and Gizmo were finished the next day, and Jeff was ecstatic about the packaging and glow-in-the-dark highlights, too.
Jeff spoke to the local media about his wish and his creation. Months later, KB Toys decided to introduce Razor to the U.S. by including a 20,000 limited-edition run in over 1,300 stores! A portion of the proceeds went back to Make-A-Wish®.
