http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/naked-president-trump-troll-doll-quadruples-kickstarter-goal-article-1.2979434 The internet troll-in-chief will not be pleased.
A Wisconsin-area sculptors nude troll-doll imagining of Twitter-happy President Trump rendered with a shock of golden hair, miniature cellphone, tiny hands and everything that goes with them has topped four times its original fund-raising goal on Kickstarter.
Crafted by Chuck Williams from vinyl and resin, the figure stands 4.75 inches tall sans hair and spans 4 inches across. Its larger than the vintage 60's Trolls and smaller than the Trolls from the 80's and 90's, he wrote.
Williams, who worked as the senior staff sculptor for the Walt Disney Co. in the late 90s and now runs a studio with his wife, originally posted photos of the prototypes to Facebook in mid-February sharing front and back full-body views to show he hadnt pilfered a pre-existing figure.
His subsequent Kickstarter campaign solicited $38,000 for manufacturing the dolls in bulk; as of this writing, hed reached $160,383 from 3,621 backers.

I do know a lot of RWNJs are going to get them for Xmas if the guy gets them into production by then. He will be obscenely rich if he does and Hair Furor is still miraculously in office.
