Gee, can I get one made for me…. how'd he do it? There's actually a Seth Godin Action Figure …as mentioned in Hey kids! It's finally here… on Seth's blog.
I hope, in 2008 we have the capability (it probably exists already) for anyone to have an action of themselves, or some significant other, made in lots of 100, 1000, etc. Here's what Seth Godin wrote:
Actually, this is pretty cool…..
"I'm not kidding," says Mitch.
"It sounds too fantastic to be true," wrote Mark.
Yes, the Seth Godin Action Figure, with built-in Brandomatic® and PurplePower® is finally ready and you can be the first on your block to have one.
IMPRESS the Harvard MBA down the hall!
VANQUISH low-cost imports and cost-cutting impostors!
DOMINATE emerging markets!
FLOOD your site with web traffic!
DEMONSTRATE a sense of humor!
Not only that, it makes a great paperweight.
Seth closes out the post with this:
"….Need an idea? Rub my head.
And here's the best thing: It only costs $9. Which is like 30 cents for people with euros.
And an even better thing! All my proceeds, every penny, go to the Acumen Fund. Not suitable for children under three or for cynics.
Full disclosure: They only did me because David Sedaris turned them down and Steve Jobs, who occasionally has better judgment than me, wouldn't even consider the idea. Who's next? Michael Crichton is too tall (plastic costs too much), so I'm hoping for Malcolm Gladwell."
