4: The Must-Have Toy
“This can’t happen. It’s just a doll. It’s just a stupid little plastic doll.”
“Ah-ah, that’s action figure!”
Jingle All The Way
Possibly somewhat influenced by going shopping yesterday...
You’ve probably seen the stories about parents fighting over the year’s must-have toy or gift, with Jingle All The Way as the slightly exaggerated movie version of the story.
This is unlikely to be a direct issue for many player characters, but they could still get caught in an angry mob of holiday shoppers.
And there’s the Leverage episode The Toy Job (not its most direct Christmas special but definitely seasonal, first shown December 18th 2012) where the Crew cause this to bring down a CEO who wants to put an unsafe toy on the market.
Consider superheroes and other well-known player characters (or characters stumbling into a parallel universe where their adventures are a TV show... or something...) who might find that they are the season’s must-have toys.
How would the player characters react to toys of themselves?
And to comparative sales charts?
