The Gunnery SGT. R. Lee Ermey
12" Motivational Figure
Ermey has built an entire career off playing the Drill Instructor character from FMJ.  This figure comes with a saber and sheath, "Smokey Bear" cover, and a one minute sound chip that barks "motivational advice."   It's packed  in a full color box  that features the Marine Corps Sergeant's Creed, Lee's biography and filmography, and a certificate on the back with a space where R. Lee himself will autograph it.  All that for only $40 (plus $8.95 S&H). 
Available at R. Lee Ermey.com
