So a guy works hard at his chosen profession. Learns a few things, sees a few things, does a few things. Gets offered a dream job, to do something most of his buddies would give their left nut for. He jumps at the chance, and then gets told he's going to be in a video, which really isn't his thing, but hey he's makin' money, so what the hell? Damned if the dude doesn't look cool on film. He get's wildly popular in his chosen profession. Haters start to hate and fan-boys cling his nuts....but he's banking good green now. Then somebody offers to make a doll of him and give him a bunch more money to do it. He thinks, WTF?. His likeness is already all over the internet, so who cares? Haters will continue to hate and fan-boys continue to hug nuts. And he still does what he loves, and he's still putting dollars in the bank. More dollars than the haters and the nut huggers.

Um, where's the problem here?

There's a number of good points there.

BUT this isn't about him and his past accomplishment.

It's about an action figure.

Who is it intended for exactly? Grown men to play with it? For our kids as stockin' stufer for this coming xmas?

I suspect Costa could care less who these dolls are intended for as long as he puts money in the bank. The company that makes them, I assume, understands their market better than he does. Walk into any comic store and you'll see plenty of nerds dropping serious coin on dolls.
 
Nothing against that guy at all - I agree, he's probably making money off the deal, so what the hell...but anybody who buys one of these is ####ing ###, and not in the way that I find acceptable, which is that you're attracted to members of the same ###. In the way that you're in to the opposite ###...but you are seriously ####ing wrong in the head.

In fact, any guy who buys a doll for any reason other than "present for my daughter" is on the short list to either maladjusted, or...actually, I think that's the only option. Don't buy dolls.

It is not a doll it's an action figure, dolls you can change their cloths, shoes and accessories........ Oh wait, OK I see your point now................. it is a Costa doll!
