Megyn Kelly, an Upper West Sider and former Fox News and NBC host, has made recent headlines for her stance on the doll display at West Side Kids, located at 498 Amsterdam Avenue (on the corner of 84th Street).
LOL, we thought you left the neighborhood!

[ She has not replied to our tweet. We thought she may have left because when she announced in November 2020 that she’d be pulling her kids from New York private schools (including the Upper West Side’s Collegiate School), she also mentioned leaving New York City ]
“Six inches tall. The Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the perfect size for all uses—whether you want to keep her on your desk, or bring her to a protest,” reads the product description for the AOC action figure on westsidekidsnyc.com.
If you look more closely at the image above, you’ll also see a Bernie Sanders doll turned to its side between Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.
“Do you feel that? That’s the Bern still going strong. Bernie reminds us how it feels to dare to dream big. He is a man for the people which is why just had to turn him into an action figure.”
And for some reason, the Pelosi and AOC boxes say “Ages 14+,” while the others say “3+.”
(AOC and Pelosi product descriptions, however, say they’re appropriate for kids as young as 4).
A West Side Kids employee told Patch that this line of dolls has always been popular, and that the Fauci doll has been the recent best seller.

The same employee also told Patch that several customers have come in to show him Kelly’s tweets, and while he doesn’t specifically remember seeing her, he did see someone “perusing the store during a busy day and taking photos of the action figures while laughing.”
The dolls are available on West Side Kids’ website for $19.99 a piece.
That’s a place I will avoid.
Good. More toys for the rest of us!
That’s a place I will start frequenting much more.
Best comment of the day (especially with the clever name). Love!
This dolls with those stupid faces should be free or 2 for #1.00.
Except Pelosi – $0.99 per LBS.
Great! I know some children and adults who would like these…. perfect for upcoming birthdays! I especially like the addition of the Fauci doll.
The last Republicans I can think of worthy of an action figure were Senator Jacob Javits and Mayor John Lindsay. Megyn, I suggest you move!
She’s just upset there aren’t Republican Seditionist and Racist action figures for “balance”.
Does the Biden doll come with strings and a ventriloquist voice?
OMG Derek will not buy his toys from West Side Kids! This will destroy the economy of the upper Westside.
Let’s continue to celebrate the liberals absolute destruction of our country. Its like Germany putting out figures of Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Mengele…etc. to celebrate what they did to Germany. Unbelievable how blind and arrogant the people of New York have become
You sound like fun, and not at all unmoored…
You seem to have that backwards. Keep pretending the marxist regime isn’t wrecking the country like they did New York
Right you are Adam. How about a Maxine Waters doll that yells “racist”. At least our comments were not cancelled yet.
Get a room!
The people in NYC are the best in the USA. I came here as a young woman from a small New England town to work as an RN and made friends with a very diverse group of people from many different cultures and met my Haitian American husband and we raised our daughter in a wonderful area on the upper west side where she had friends from all different cultures and attended a very diverse private school, St Hilda’s and St Hughs I we still live in the same wonderful complex that is also very diverse !! After 54 yrs I will would never leave !!
“LOL, we thought you left the neighborhood!
So you mocked someone for choosing to live in our beautiful neighborhood… and you’re proud of it? Because they don’t share your political views? You are part of the problem with our society.
I come here to find out what is going on in the neighborhood, not political sniping. There are plenty of other forums for that.
” Nancy Pelosi, President Biden, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, former President Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”
I’m not aware of any of those listed being liberals, the elected AOC included.
That they are more liberal than an extremist like Trump or Paul Ryan doesn’t make them liberal.
No, Bader-Ginzberg’s record is not especially liberal.
And Joe Biden is a right wing, racist Democrat, who belongs in the Dixicrats.
