Rarely does the face behind a website get so much press, but here you have it, the Poking Inventor Action Figure as another piece of paraphernalia behind the Facebook CEO's fame and fortune.
This bobble-head doll has another talent; he holds up signs. The limited edition figurine series was created as just 300 collectibles, each with his own handheld signage reading "Like" and "Poke." The Mark Zuckerberg caricature also comes with a stack of blank speech bubbles, designed to let the owner dictate the Facebook founder's words.
Created by Cyril Chang, the Poking Inventor Action Figure personifies this man's special talent. The same artist created a Steve Jobs doll, both available at the M.I.C. Gadget Store. Complete with the blue jeans, the Adidas sandles and the gray hoodie, this sculpted creature is the perfect desktop decoration.
