Chris Christie Figurine Commemorates BridgeGhazi
Meet the world’s first inaction figure.
A Florida artist, using a 3-D printer, created a tiny figurine of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie bringing traffic to a grinding halt at the George Washington Bridge.
The embattled Jersey politician sports a traffic cone for a cap, holds a stop sign with the words “Traffic Study” and dons an orange construction vest over his suit.
The individually produced figures from artist Fernando Sosa are available for $37.87 each through Shapeways.com.
The 4 1/2-inch tall figure hardly does justice to the gargantuan governor — but Sosa has an explanation for that.
“This was modeled to scale just like the shutdown of the bridge was a `traffic study,'” he said.
Oh, snap!
