Make playtime much less fun with the Sad Keanu Reeves doll
If you’ve grown weary of the relentless, can-do attitude of your action figures, perhaps it’s time for a playdate with a sad Keanu Reeves, whose stooped, defeated frame will remind them that they—that we—are all just toys in the hands of an easily bored and fickle child called “life.” Toy designer Nancy Liang has crafted the Sad Keanu doll, based on the persistent Internet meme photo of Reeves eating a sandwich in what appears to be a glum, contemplative solitude, years before he would even make 47 Ronin. Reeves himself kept the meme going with his tongue-in-cheek book of morbid prose, Ode To Happiness. Now Sad Keanu has made his way back into the tangible world thanks to 3-D printing service Shapeways, where you can buy one of your very own in either “teeny” ($25) or regular ($45) size, depending on how large the abyss is within you.
