Motorola has announced a partnership with famous toy designer Eric So to create action figures for Motorola

These limited-edition action figures are available exclusively with purchase of Motorola handsets through www.18900.net, www.joyo.com and Motorola branded stores in Mainland China. The Jay Chou action figure is available with purchase of MOTOROKR E6 and the Zhou Xun action figure available with purchase of MOTOKRZR. This is a rare opportunity to collect these cool pop culture icons.

Eric So is well-known amongst adult and young action figures collectors throughout Asia Pacific for his past work featuring top celebrities around the world including Michael Jordan, Bruce Lee and Chow Yun Fat. The Motorola Jay Chou and Zhou Xun action figures stand 12 inches tall with fully movable joints and removable head-to-toe outfits. Even the miniature fire red MOTOKRZR that comes with the Zhou Xun action figure can be opened and closed. The costume for the Zhou Xun action figure was inspired by the historical styling from “The Banquet”. The facial expressions were designed to resemble Zhou Xun’s beauty and Jay’s signature smile.

It's a great marketing device, aimed at a particular demoegraphic ... namely, young consumers.
If you can promote loyalty towards the brand at an early age, you place yourself in the enviable position of being able to take advantage of the lifetime value of the consumer and maximise it to the full.
Its clever...no point knocking it.

Isn't Motorola a mobile phone manufacturer, is it?
