Is there also an ‘economic hitman’ version of this?
The next action figure will probably be CEO with Golden Parachute.
I still have my Librarian Action Figure (Nancy Pearl) – complete with ‘shushing action’
J/P=?
I still have my Gay Florist Action Figure complete with ‘skit-skat action.’
Is that John McCain??
Why does he have two different colored shoes?
The red one’s for ‘getting his foot in the door.’
Godin promotes a company called littlemissmatched.com so he always wears two different colored socks.
If this toy is officially licensed then apparently Seth Godin doesn’t know the first thing about marketing exciting action figures.
I have a toy action figure of America’s first gay President as he finishes his first second term. Anyone think it might be worth anything come January 22, 2009?
We’re safe until Guy Kawasaki gets one!

I did a quick Google search and couldn’t find it but I’m pretty sure right after the dot.com bubble popped, there was a golden parachute action figure marketed.
They need the Disgruntle Employee action figure complete with weapons cache, postal uniform.

But what I want to know is, was it a _toy_ store? Seems a bit ironic and arch for a kids’ toy store… (But definitely a place I’d like to shop in.)

First??? Gay President…
You’ve been to the Bohemian Grove!?

Why are all the URL links bollixed up on this blog now?
Where’s the “Madoff Action Figure”. Press him for results and he confesses he was a fraud to the tune of 50 billion dollars. And somehow, not a single regulating agency noticed a problem with its “actions” until he confessed. Maybe we should demand our tax money back from the near worthless SEC board. They’ve just been rubber stamping every form of financial instrument and scheme. Without preventing the very things they’re mandated to prevent. And now we’ve got to bail out the banks and such, or we’ll all stop breathing or something.
BTW, I’m sure that little book of Marketing Secrets is largely lifted from Ford and GM sales strategies. And look how that worked out for them. “Keep making the public believe they need a MiniVan, cause it’s what we make the most profit from selling. And refuse to retool back to making the economy models. Up until the we nearly go bankrupt. Because the government will be there to bail us out in time.” If you’re big enough, the government will always cover up your mistakes.
I bought my staff these great toys at this website:

Marketing Guru Action Figure
Looks like Patrick Stewart in a gay tie. Go down on me, Number One.
Let’s not forget the closeted Republican Congressman with steel shoe soles for action tapping.
