Tiny Friend Action Figures

Glitches love collecting stuff -- cubimals and philosopher dolls! -- and Glitches also love tiny things, so why not have a blank Action Figure which would work on a similar principle as the the emotional bear and could be set to look like a specific friend? 

I personally would own hundreds.

Even better would be if the tiny friend action figure could (like the gnomes and jack o'lanterns) say a trademark phrase.

Edit: I re-worded the part about the emotional bear to clarify myself.

  • This sounds like so much fun, it would be great if we could craft them too:)

  • YES YES YES!! It would be so cool if you could select which phrase your action figure says, so people can't put words in your mouth and you can spread your message across Ur! It would also encourage people to try different friends to see what they say!

    This is the coolest idea I've ever heard, please make it happen! Omg how awesome would that be?

  • Yesyesyses!!!!!!!!!!
    I like Merth's idea too!

    This would be mine:

    There once a Glitch AC2K
    Who loved to play Glitch every day
    He played it a ton
    Cause it was so fun
    And that is the game you must play!

  • +1 if you can interact with the figures, and your friend receives the benefit.
    I would RK my entire wall full.
    Think voodoo dolls; but nicer.

  • +1 to this! I'd love to have a little shelf of some of my favorite Glitchen silently observing everything in my house, muttering to themselves as I walk past.

    ...actually, that's a little creepy, but still, +1.

  • We already have mini glitchen from the Pitchen Lilliput party pack!!  I love this idea :)

  • This would be great!  I do think it's important that the player get to set the phrase on the figurines of themselves -- otherwise it could get kind of gross.

  • this is awesome.

  • I love this idea! Could we make action figures of our own selves? I want mine to come with a cardboard mailing tube, a water pistol, and one of those sirens-in-an-aerosol-can (what are those called?) so she has the tools to fend off huggy people.

    Edited to add:

    Also, venomous porcupine quills. And maybe some sort of built-in dart-firing system. Can't be too prepared.

  • I think we should be able to "license" or not license ourselves for action figures, and set the edition number too.

    I want to be a semi-rare! :D

  • Indeed - from a collectible standpoint these would be particularly fun if you could only make them yourself, of yourself.

  • This would be so fun! I agree with WalruZ, I think you should make action figures of yourself only, then trade them with friends. It seems more social that way.

    Oh man, I would totally hide little versions of me in weird places around Ur...

  • I think WalruZ is definitely on to something. You could either purchase or create a blank doll, use iMG to make it into a tiny you, and once made it would be locked. Having it be able to say something would be awesome, but maybe you'd need to upgrade it with iMG. I'd want mine to say "Eat your vegetables!"

  • I like Walruz's idea too!  And MoM4.5's embellishments.

    It even could be that the only person who could teach it to say something would be the one to upgrade it.  So that way you would have control over what your likeness says.

    Mine would probably end up saying, "I understand what you're saying, Ayn Rand, but I've had a different experience." mixed in with, "I don't think we're playing the same game." and, "That's not the emergent behavior I've seen!"

  • Or FigUrines

    No, wait. That looks like Fig Urines.

    Maybe Glitchious Moments?

  • +++ smegging excellent idea!
    Posted 7 months ago by geekybird Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Additionally, assuming you make them yourself of yourself, I would like the character decoration locked to whatever you were wearing at the time.  That way, you could make SETS of yourself.   So, for example, you wouldn't just be searching for a WalruZ.  You would be searching for a Nude WalruZ with Cowboy Boots.   (which, I'm not sure how many of those I would make...)  To complete your WalruZ set.  

    ETA - It would be possible then to have a shelf or three displaying your TFAF set of "The nude girls of Ur."   That, I would pay for.

  • Yes!!! This is one of my most favorite ideas ever.

  • Should such a thing be made I think it would be nice if the fellow's info menu was accessible, or if it linked up to their home street or something. Calling cards, as it were.

    ETA:: definitely gotta cast my vote for Youbimals as well! hehe.
