A lot of us grew up with GI Joe and Princess Leia action figures. But today’s selection of tiny plastic dolls isn’t limited to movie and comic book characters. Super heroes worked hard to make our democracy safe. So it naturally follows that we can now customize our own action figures and base them on the look and personality of absolutely anyone — including Kurt Andersen. Produced by Eric Molinsky.
