After downing Utah Jazz in the semifinals, Phoenix Suns are just four wins away from their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 1993.

But the phrase “Suns in 4” went after Phoenix Sun’s fan Nick McKellar’s was recorded fighting a Denver Nugget fan.

The video went viral and even caught the eye of Suns shooting guard Devin Booker, who appreciated the fan’s loyalty so much he gifted him an autographed jersey and tickets to a Western Conference Finals game.

And to honour the video and its emotion toymaker Zach Pollard has created an action figure out of it. “He’s immortalized in plastic,” said Pollard, talking about McKellar and his video.

Pollard, who makes his toys by finding material from thrift stores, eBay, or by getting vintage action figure toys and disassembling them, admitted that his latest creation gained the attention of thousands on social media.

Everyone wanted to buy his one-of-a-kind collector’s item.

However, Pollard is now unable to decide how much and who to sell it for. To make things easier, he’s holding a five-day auction on eBay. The auction is live and started at 99 cents, but is now up to $4,000. Prospective buyers are able to bid on the item until 6 p.m., Wednesday, June 23.

Meanwhile, Pollard reached out to McKellar to offer him half of his earnings before placing the collector’s figure on the market. McKellar was pleasantly shocked when Pollard told him about the creation. However, instead of taking the money, McKellar bargained with Pollard for another action figure to be made just for him.

Pollard believes that McKellar is the Phoenix Suns’ lucky charm and will beat the Los Angeles Clippers in 4 in the Western Conference finals.
