Toys for Tyros

Now this is some real Friday fun: business man action figures! Happy Worker's GeekMan, BossMan, and MoneyMan. The figures come complete with laptops, coffee cups, cell phones, and brief cases -- and look suspiciously like some of the people I work with every day. The information about the product development and manufacturing process is really interesting, to boot. You can buy the figures online via CmdStore

Bought a Geekman figure from CmdStore.com and the figure is really cool! Finally, something for us!

GeekMan is 6 inches tall, made from plastic, and comes with 5 accessories (his weapons of wisdom and tech gadgetry). Now that Ken is out of the picture, have Geekman take Barbie out for a really fun time. They could visit the library, attend a LAN party, or even hit a Star Trek convention!

Geeky Glasses (the Geek Visual Input Device)
Handheld Computer / PDA (attaches magnetically to GeekMan’s Waist)
Notebook Computer / Laptop (the Cerebral I/O Device)
Coffee Mug (to re-energize super powers)
Wristwatch
The 6 inch tall bespectacled, pocket-protector-wearing Geekman action figure is known for his "ungodly coding abilities," and "less than ideal personal hygiene routine." Yoohoo!

Batteries not included because GeekMan doesn't need batteries!
