Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form

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."

Geek Action Figures I'd Rather See

[Seumas]

Instead of some generic geek cheaply made action-figure, I'd rather see a high quality series of action figures that depict real geeks that we all respect, admire, like or... at least know of.

The following, for starters:

RMS
ESR
Alan Cox
John "Maddog" Hall
Linus Torvalds
Capn'Crunch
Kevin Mitnick

And of course, more traditional scientific geeks like:

Linus Paulings
Albert Einstein
Charles Babbage

And famous literary or movie geeks from our favorite 80's and 90's films.

In fact, I kind of thought that's what the Action Figure in this article was going to be like until I went to the site... :(

Fake stereo type geek

Bleeeeh. Stupid ninties tv show geek.

What geek nowadays uses pens? A modern geek would have an USB stick and/or other memory thingies sticking out of his breast pocket. And he/she would at least wear one Bluetooth headset and contact lenses instead of these Clark Kent glasses.
