# Animated Facebook Figurines Poking Inventor Action Figure Depicts Mark Zuckerberg By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-03-10 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poking-inventor-action-figure References: [craziestgadgets](http://craziestgadgets.com/2011/03/07/mark-zuckerberg-action-figure/) & [store.micgadget](http://store.micgadget.com/action-figures/275-poking-inventor-action-figure.html) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reskin) CEO's fame and fortune. This bobble-head doll has another talent; he holds up signs. The [limited edition figurine series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-11) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/originals-sport) sandles and the gray hoodie, this sculpted creature is the perfect desktop decoration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Limited Edition Action Figures:** Opportunity to create collectible action figures based on influential figures to cater to a niche market. - **Customizable Figurines:** Potential for personalized figurines with speech bubbles to allow consumers to express themselves. - **Celebrity-inspired Merchandise:** Market for merchandise inspired by high-profile individuals, providing a unique way for fans to connect with their idols. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create limited edition action figures that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. - **Customized Gifts and Merchandise:** Opportunity to offer customizable figurines with speech bubbles as unique and personalized gifts. - **Fan Merchandise:** Market opportunity to develop a range of celebrity-inspired merchandise targeting dedicated fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Giftable Customized Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself-funko.md) - [Selfie-Centric Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-series.md) - [Angry Customer Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namespace.md) - [AI-Powered Collectible Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heymates.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [TV Show-Inspired Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stickymonger.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Hyperrealistic Musician Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitzway-kurt-cobain-figurine.md) - [Custom Face Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity-program.md)
