A buddy I used to work with (way before personal computers) and I had the idea that we could make action figures that look like individuals. Just mail us a pic and you will get a fully poseable action figure that looks like you!

My ophthalmologist thinks I've stablized and don't need to go to the retinologist at the moment, but when I was going several years ago I was generally the only person in the waiting room under 70. (Or at least it seemed that way.)
