Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oracle-is-hotter dept.

Treebiter1 writes "Happy Worker, a specialty toy developer, has introduced a new action figure the "GeekMan Action Figure." Billed as the "a hunk o' hunk of nerdly love." His "super powers" include ungodly coding abilities; opposite sex repulsion; analytical reasoning; ability to create technical acronyms; less than ideal personal hygiene routine. This is kind of an oddity, perhpas I should say it is an oddity, but it might make a funny gag gift."

    Microsoft came out with those action figures a while back... I don't think you can get them anymore though. There were three I think.

    They might consider getting their very own GeekMan to make sure that their site renders properly in Gecko and Opera. :/

    The theme song tells you:

    GeekMan Theme Song - Lyrics

    Geek-Man, Geek-Man, Geek-Man,
    Geek-Man, GeekMan!

    He's a brainiac,
    Busting books, coding hack,
    GeekMan!

    With one glance from his eyes,
    logic seems to materialize,
    GeekMan!

    Taped glasses and pocket implants,
    Belt to his elbows, he's one smarty pants...
    Deep underground in his secret computer lair,
    Powered by junk food, caffeine and his monitor glare.
    (he's a key clacking code hacking thinking machine...) He's GeekMan...

    Evil business types, look out!
    If he's on the scene, reason reigns throughout.
    Go go go, gogogo tech gadget belt...
    look out Internet girls, he's looking so 'svelte!
    (What a hunk'o'hunk'o' nerdy love...) He's GeekMan!

    Propeller head, computer freak,
    He's the super-alpha-uber-geek,
    GeekMan!

    Geek-Man, Geek-Man, Geek-Man,
    Geek-Man, GeekMannnnn!

    Come on, Torvalds and McBride action figures? Does anybody not want these? Maybe a Stallman action figure to muddy the waters with periodic confusing rants.

  11. WARNING!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do not buy a Geekman!!

    Since receiving mine for Xmas, I've had nothing but trouble with him!!!

    In January, I got a subpoena from the RIAA, saying I was sharing music online (bunk,.. it was Geekman!)

    In February, he got sued by SCO for infringing o some kind of pocket pencil holder device!!

    In March, he locked himself in my office for a week and a half,... and took my Xbox in there with him!

    In April, my family woke up to find all our network logon passwords changed, and we couldn't get online for days.

    And, so far, in May, my coffee bill has tripled!!!

    This Geekman is nothing but trouble,.. don't buy one!
