My concept, dear readers, is quite simple: To build a line - nay, an ARMY - of limited-edition vinyl toys based around infamous web celebrities, all in Super-Deformed styles. Released in Seasons, the line-up would be fleshed out by sourcing new blood* from the top-ranking personalities according to Technorati.
Each toy would be numbered, and the selected individual would be given a code based on adding up the numbers in the date their domain was registered (Y/M/D), and combining that with their PageRank value at the time of construction. Those selected would also be invited to design and write up their figure's page on the official site - which contains bios, an official store with merchandise, and (eventually) a full-blown animated series in the vein of DragonBall Z (replacing Dragon Balls with Web Standards).
Be still, my beating Otaku.
A toy exhibition would travel to particularly shit-hot Web conferences that contain members from the latest Season, who would be persuaded to sign toys and other paraphernalia.
And if that idea should fail, I'd like to build a Cultural Slang Translator, to prevent unsightly bashings.
* The toys wouldn't actually contain real blood, unless this would curry the judge's favour.

Zeldman looks like he'll crawl through your nasal passages, and eat your brain from the inside out.
I want one!
First of all, way to post first. That takes the heart of a champion. An Ultimate Blogger champion.
Secondly, I want to see this happen. Ok people? Someone out there knows someone at Medicom or Kid Robot or something and can make this work. Let's get this done.
