First came Dale Chihuly (left), gnarled and one-eyed, a representation of the Seattle art scene packed into a 10-inch polymer statuette. Later there was Storm guard Sue Bird (because “no one else had done figures of WNBA players”). Finally Mike Leavitt had an army of 225 handmade action figures, some local, like artist Lisa Petrucci, others international icons like Barry White, Martha Stewart, and Vincent van Gogh.

Some of Leavitt’s action figures are wedding-cake toppers, which earned the 29-year-old White Center artist a summer appearance on KOMO TV’s Northwest Afternoon, further upping his catalog’s mass appeal.

At least one topper doesn’t exactly scream high demand, though. Consider the pregnant Mary Kay Letourneau with her student-turned-husband Vili Fualaau (the local couple made headlines after Letourneau went to prison for an affair with Fualaau, then 12 years old). If that’s not the kind of romance you like your action figures to promote, check out the rest of Leavitt’s catalog.
