Bacon Action Figure Felt Bookmarks!

The end of 2011 featured a very homemade Christmas.

One of the things I made was hand-embroidered felt bacon bookmarks/action figures and tree ornaments. Everyone that got them seemed to like them, and I thought that they might be a good thing to make and sell in the WePay and Etsy stores.

The first day I listed them on WePay and posted about it, no one bought any, so I told Jeffery that if no one bought one that day, I would come up with background stories for all of them.

All of them are available for $8 each from my WePay store.

Meet the Bacon Action Figure Felt Bookmarks:

A is an expert military and financial tactician, and a gifted historical cartographer - with a particular fondness for Qin State maps from the 4th Century, displaying tributary river systems of the Jialing River in Sichuan.

With A in the lead, you'll always know blue is for water, and when and how to use the better part of valor.





B's background is a little hazy.

Rumored to be a former black-ops agent, B is now the munitions expert and BAFFB's sniper extraordinare. 

 B is also a wise ass, and refuses to take a normal photo.













C speaks 47 languages, and is the team's most cunning linguist - any and all accents are used here.

Also a master of diguise, C studied under both Tony and Jonna Mendez, both having held the position of CIA Chief of Disguise.

C is gifted in the art and craft of identity transfer operations, including eluding hostile surveillance while working in enemy territory, and the use of stereotyping and the principles of disguise, magic and illusion.


If you need someone to drive it, ride it, fly it, steer it, walk captain it, or glide it, D is your go to bacon! Defensive driver, offensive boater, or savvy dirigible operator, if it moves, D can make it go go go.

D is also one hell of a train conductor... but don't ask about it.





 

E was originally tasked to work for the NSA, but was lured away by the massive array of top-secret, futuristic military technology available to the BAFFB team.

Hacker, cracker, coder sine qua non, E can get any piece of information from any source at any time, day, night, or otherwise.



 

Tired of the ridiculous superficiality of the Los Angeles cosmetic microsurgery scene, Russian emigre F originally wanted to get into combat surgery with the military, but after hearing about the elite BAFFB team, decided to sign up.

Utilizing the latest cutting edge medical technologies available, F keeps the team in tip top shape.

G's entire family was butchered by ninja samurai in a highly innacurate historical reenactment of  Custer's Last Stand. Unable to deal with the grief, G was sequestered away, vowing vengeance, and learning every form of martial arts known to man or bacon.

Eventually settling on Foo Young style, G is the resident martial arts specialist, and an unfortunate and terrible dark spot in the otherwise untarnished history of MMA cage fighting matches.

G is seldom captured on film.

UPDATE: D is now driving an elementary school bus part time, having returned to civilian life.
