A small action figure, which looks cheaply made but seems to have been infused by healing powers. People that don’t know how Johnny Fontaine look like will not recognise him by looks because the doll looks kinda like a basic guy.
The Action figure has glowing eyes if it hasn’t been used. If it is used and durable doesn’t work, then the eyes will slowly stop glowing and feel a lot less magical.
The person holds the doll in their hands. Using it will make the golden light emitted of the eyes shine stronger and the injury in question will also be glowing with the same hue.
“People used to tell me: Johnny, you are such a great guy and I’m so happy to have you as a friend. I wish that everyone could have a friend like you.
This made me think: yeah it would be nice if everybody had a friend so reliable, helpful, funny, intelligent and humble as me. Which is why I have created my own line of action figure Johnnys. To get a closer experience to the real deal I have infused the dolls with my healing capability. This works for at least one use and if you are lucky enough a couple.
You can now have your own Johnny Fontaine to take with you on amazing adventures, to important exams for good luck and maybe even to a candlelight diner for a date with the J man himself.
Get yours now!”

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
