Kerry, using Kurlak's "could" logic, is it possible that the next big thing for MU could be a line of Tom Kurlak action figures?

You could say that the main item itself is an obvious no-brainer....

But of course, if you've got Kurlak...what would he be without his squawk box? I'm not sure what it looks like, but on a conceptual level, it could be something that operates on the idea that when he talks into it things seem to go up or down - so maybe it could look like one of those lung capacity testors...

And of course, what youngster could possibly even want to pick the man and his squawk box without the little people who make it all possible - his little miniature salesforce. I think one of the interesting features could be allowing the miniature sales force items to wet themselves...I'm talking about pespiration of course, as one could work up a sweat getting people in and out of stocks all day...

And then, you need the client items to fill out the line. A handful could be men and women in business suits. A handful could include miniature sheep, one great feature of which is the detatchable wool coats...

We could see further additions to the line, some of which could be CNBC on-air personalities...

Come to think of it, this could be one of those cases where the action figures could actually come before the major Hollywood motion picture.

Sadly, this could very well just amount to idle speculation. However, I believe the introduction of Tom Kurlak action figures could prove to be a tremendously successful product with many loyal repeat purchases...

...as I think one could speculate that many of the dolls could possibly be used in vodoo ceremonies and/or meet similar ends, and thus one could make the argument that it is both a consumable good and a durable good depending on your marketing segmentation.

In fact, could it be possible that the reason we've heard nothing from him could be because he has been busy modelling for some of the product design and promotional work?

Good trading,

Tom
