I collect action figures and was looking at a site about the ToyFair in New York and came across this.
[img]www.action-figure.com/images/01/01/ermey.jpg[/img]
Finally a figure that inspires the average man to action and excites a new purpose in those that have lost their way. This figure not only features the likeness of Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermey but also a one minute sound chip that barks his unique motivational advice. The figure comes with a saber, sheath and Drill Sgts. cover (hat). The Motivational Figure™ is packed in a full color box that features the Marine Sgts. Creed, Mr. Ermey's biography and filmography, and a certificate on the back with a space for Ermey's signature (if you are lucky enough to get one). Due to the sharp points and small pieces this toy contains as well as the blunt honesty of the sound chip, this toy is recommended for those 12 and older.

Another company is making an action figure of Rudy (as Navy SEAL) from the first survivor.

Reminds me of some of the scary (well, to a six-year old kid...) neighbours we use to have on army and air bases. Now, I'd be a lot more understanding, but, man, some of those guys with the steel wire bristle flattop haircuts and forehead wrinkles like sergeant's chevrons (stripes, I know....) were something I just never saw again after my dad retired from the USAF. They were and are unique- civilians just don't understand.


We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a
man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

My personal choice for what the figure would say is "He!! I like you!  You can come over to my house and F--- my sister!"

I love that movie!

I would like to hear the figure give Ermey's very eloquent Chirstmas speech ("God has a hard on for Marines because we kill everything we see. He plays his games, and we play ours. In exchange for all this power we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corp, so you can give your hearts to Jesus, but your asses belong to the Corp!")

"YOU WILL NOT LAUGH!"

"YOU WILL NOT CRY!"
