This wish story makes me feel: |

On Saturday, May 6, a new action figure named Razor made its debut at more than 1,300 K-B Toys stores nationwide. Razor's presence on store shelves has taken on extra significance because the action figure was designed and created as part of 11-year-old Jeff's wish experience.
When the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central & Southern Arizona told Jeff that he could wish for anything in the entire world, he chose a wish that would highlight his vivid imagination and create a lifetime of memories for thousands of people. And thanks to the ReSaurus Toy Company -- a toy manufacturing company based in Columbus, OH -- Razor, the product of Jeff's imagination, was brought to life. Click here to learn more about Jeff's incredible wish experience.
Jeff's wish came full circle when Razor hit the shelves at K-B Toys stores across the country. To celebrate this wonderful testament to the ripple effect of a wish experience, and to help introduce Jeff's creation to the public, K-B Toys and the Make-A-Wish Foundation held a special autograph signing at a K-B Toys store in Jeff's hometown of Tempe, Arizona.
Before the event officially began there was already a large line of people waiting for Jeff's autograph. Jeff appeared to be well suited for the celebrity spotlight, signing autographs and taking pictures with visitors like a consummate professional.
Jeff's family, friends, wish-granters, neighbors, and even his math teacher were on hand to offer their support during Jeff's special day, making sure they had their own autographed Razor package.
"K-B Toys decision to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation reflects our philosophy of bettering the lives of children and families," said John Tullock, Boys Toy Buyer for K-B Toys. "We're thrilled that we could complete Jeff's dream of creating an action figure by making it available on our store shelves nationwide."
Razor retails for $9.99, and $5.00 from each purchase will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help grant wishes in Jeff's name. Razor is also available for purchase online at www.KBKids.com.
