Play with yourself anytime you like...I don't know why, but I find myself wondering if I could afford the $250 or more they're asking for one of these. I can think of a thousand fun things I could do with a 'me' action figure (via Thirteen Labs).

Most notably you can get two duplicates and fuck yourself over, in the action figure way. heh. And, wasn't this posted before?

Don't think so, I did a URL search and a search for 'action figure'. Where's Doublepostguy when you need him?

ahh.. it must be somewhere else, probably a blog.

It's a little cheezy... but that's damned fine marketing.

But what's a "Joe Club"?

I think a Joe Club refers to GI Joe, they have conventions and everything. I was going to post this myself as place to get the Pyra action figures made, someday I will have a Megnut with kung-fu grip.
The truth is that if you have any sculpting ability, you can do this yourself for far less money. Everything you need is available at the art supply store. An excellent book on rubber casting is available here, it is where I got mine, though it does not appear to be listed on the website. That does not matter, check out the other amazing books that are available, and learn to do things for yourself. You might not want to build your own lathe (that is so sad...) but you surely will want to make your own fancy soap (hmm. don't see that on the site either, request the catalogue), or build your own working windmill. Green power!

In the "Joe Club" example, they say "(In this case our minimum of 25 figures)"

Is it actually possible to just get one? I mean, an action figure or two of me would be neat, but I don't know if my tenuous grasp of sanity could handle an army of me.

Gosh that'd be fun though.

Hey, I could almost get away with just buying one of those sample guys. My hair's due to be cut today and I'll match even more.

Also, there has to be a way to combine this with RealDoll ...

Well, that leaves me out...

ohmy. of course, the possibility also exists that you could get action figures made of people you dislike. use them as target practice.
