Herobuilders.com, which specializes in customized action figures, has just released a "Tanorexic Action Figure" based on the bronzed face of Krentcil that is selling for $29.95 a pop.
Since then, she has become a pop culture icon of sorts, even being parodied by Kristen Wiig on Saturday Night Live.

The tanorexic tribute follows a long line of action figures inspired by psuedo-celebrities like White House crasher Michaele Salahi, the "The Rent Is Too Damn High" guy and the protester who said the immortal words, "Don't tase me bro."
Herobuilders head honcho Emil Vicale considers the offbeat action figures to be satire, but admits the Krentcil doll isn't a perfect match.
"It doesn't really look like her," he told The Huffington Post. "But we did the best under the circumstances."
In the interest of time, the Tanorexic Action Figure is only tan on the face, while the body is the same as the one the company uses for its Sarah Palin action figure, CNN reported.
Vicale doesn't expect his Krentcil creation to replace Barbie in the hearts and mind of doll collectors soon, but said the right doll at the right time can still do well.
"We sold 1000 of 'The Rent Is Too Damn High Guy' in a month," he told The Huffington Post.
Who's buying the dolls? Vicale suspects they appeal to people who know the subjects being satirized.
"I think she's ordered one and people she knows," Vicale said. "We're getting orders from her part of the country."
Collectibles expert Stephen Fishler suspects that the market for the Tanorexic Action Figure will be small and suggests people not buy it hoping to sell it for big bucks in a few years.
"This is not being marketed as an investment. The company is trying to sell shock value," Fishler told The Huffington Post. "The people who will buy it should be people who find it funny in and of itself."
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story referred to Krentcil as Pamela, not Patricia.

I'm surprised all the attention is focused on the mom. Clearly she is mentally ill. The tanning salon employees seem to have escaped this without any noticeable criticism.

That a parent would buy this for their kid is horrid. This woman is mentally off her wheel! And now you want to encourage others - young children - to follow her example??? There have got to be better toys. Why would you want to look like something covered in leather?

This lady needs help. Why would someone do this themselves and why weren't the people at the tanning salon montoring how long she was in the booth? She needs help, because she looks like some sort of creature in a horror movie. She, also looks like she has a drinking problem. Dam, she looks terrible.

Why does a woman as selfish and self centered as Patricia Krentcil deserve to get an action figure let alone an article written about her. She is not a very nice looking woman and if she keeps tanning herself as she is now doing, she will likely have skin harden enough that she can use it to make a leather purse.
