Toy designer and founder of BISides toys, Jenya Spektor, is working on the production of a new toy. Spektor is self-manufacturing his toy set, Finger Mafia, and is looking for pledgers. These toys are 5 inches, made of vinyl and have custom paint work and accessories. As of now there are four original characters, but four more are expected in a year. 

"The idea for Finger Mafia came from an article I read about Japanese gangs, or Yakuza. It described an act of contrition called yubitsume, which is when a gang member ritually cuts off a finger as a way of apologizing to a Yakuza boss for some act of disrespect."
