POCKET FIGS: THE LATEST POPULAR TREND?
It is not often that we talk about fashion and trends at ToyFarce, but with an increasing amount of photos of pocket figs being sent to us, we had to address it. More and more celebrities are seen displaying their Pocket Figs with pride. But what is the origin of the Pocket Figs?
According to several sources, the “Pocket Fig” term was first coined by Wade from Unparalleled Universe. When asked about it, Wade replied “I’m pretty sure I made that up, but let me think about it. Hold up… Ok yeah, I made it up.” (this is an actual quote!). Make sure to follow Unparalleled Universe on Youtube and Instagram! (Tuesday crew! 🔪🔪🔪)

But what is a “pocket fig”, you ask? A “pocket fig” is an action figure, from your collection, that you carry around with you as you go about your everyday life. You can see it as a support item to give you that extra boost, to make your day better. Having a tough time at work? Bring your favorite figure along! Boring meetings all day long? A figure would cheer you up. A funeral? Ok, maybe not…
Here is Barry Dean’s great explanation about his habit of having a pocket fig:

There are no official rules on what can and can’t be a pocket fig, but common sense would rule out any figure that has to much accessories or removable parts (you don’t want to lose anything, right?). Also, as the name implies, it has to fit in a pocket, so 12-inch figures, or 1:4th scale figures do not make great pocket figs.
What started as a small trend between members of the toy community is now becoming a global phenomenom, as several celebrities have been seen carrying pocket figs around on paparazzi pictures! Here are a few pictures that were sent to ToyFarce in the last few days:
Brad Pitt, carrying a Spin Master Batman as a pocket fig
Kanye West, with a Marvel Legends The Thing
Jean Claude Van Damme, sporting a Predator pocket fig (how fitting!)
So how about you, do you have a pocket fig? If having a pocket fig with you makes you feel great, why not give it a try?
