Aside from poking, Mark Zuckerberg isn't known for much physical activity, but that hasn't stopped a company from creating an action figure of the Facebook co-founder.
MIC, which introduced a Steve Jobs action figure in November, is now selling a Zuckerberg doll for $69.90. Why? The company says this is the "next greatest action figure for tech nerds" and that the company (whose name stands for "Made in China") "really admired the man who is responsible for connecting over 500 million people across the world, helping Egypt's protesters to spark an uprising and becoming the youngest billionaire and [Time] 'Person of the Year.'"
Modeled closely on the real-life Facebook CEO, the 7-inch doll sports a casual brown hoodie sweatshirt, worn-in jeans and open-toed Adidas sandals. The doll is said to be heavier than an iPhone, but lighter than an iPad. It also comes with a stand with a Facebook logo, a "like" and "poke" card for Zuck to hold and speech bubbles where the user can write their own witty messages. (The blog suggests "I'm CEO, bitch!")
MIC isn't the first to see heroic potential in Zuck. Last month, a Canadian publisher, Bluewater Productions, introduced a comic book based on Zuckerberg, who of course, was the unwilling subject of one of 2010's most-lauded films, The Social Network.
For his part, Zuckerberg seems to be making an effort lately to humanize his image, with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, an interview with 60 Minutes and, just this week, a Facebook Page devoted to his new puppy, Beast.
