It's been possible to get "personalized" action figures for a while now. All it took was enough money, or enough sculpey and skill, and you could be immortalized in all your miniature glory. But through the magic of the Internets, it's possible to get a made-to-order action figure for something less than the $600 or so charged by the schmancy places (www.highlyflammabletoys.com).
The schmancy places are cool, of course, but cooler still is self indulgence at a fraction of the price -- http://www.herobuilders.com/ondemand/. The only downside is you have somewhat limited options (all boys). And it's got a hip-hop/urban assault vibe. But it's still cool.
If only I had the self-discipline to stick with my original plan -- sculpt myself to match action figures like Trinity and Wonder Woman .... I'll be honest: An action figure of a soft suburbanite just isn't ... explosive enough.
