You can now buy toy of internet legend the ‘gurning rave guy’ after video of him dancing in a Lancashire nightclub went viral eight years ago.
‘Gurning rave guy’, also known as Shaun Jackson, has been immortalised in plastic and is being sold as a toy.
Shaun, thought to be from Leyland, took the internet by storm back in 2014 after a promotional video for Rumes Nightclub in Preston went viral.
In the video, Shaun can be seen partying, perhaps a little too hard, at the club and his appearance has since made him an internet sensation.
The Gurner Raver Raindance Edition toy is being created and sold by Joe Shark Sandwich Toys.
Owner Joe Slinn said the idea for the toy design was brought to life by Justin Turner, who is a partner with British rave event organisers, Raindance.
Joe told the Lancashire Telegraph: “The toy was created by Joe Shark Sandwich Toys which specialises in bootleg style toys/display pieces.
“The toy company is set for big things as this style of art is growing ever popular.
“The idea was pushed forward with the help of Justin Turner who is a partner in Raindance promotions.
“Justin managed to get in contact with Shaun Jackson and got his approval for the making for the toy.
“And bang within three weeks Shark Sandwich Toys released the toy and the rest is history.”
Shaun will be attending the Raindance Winter Series party in Norfolk on December 2, where he will sign toys and enjoy the party.
The toy retails for £40 and can be purchased via the Joe Shark Sandwich Toys Facebook page.
