How Many Directors have toys after themselves?
Just curious if I missed any, but as far as I know theres;
Kevin Smith
Quentin Tarantino
Orson Wells
not sure if this one counts
Terry Gilliam
Steven Speilberg
I figured it counts because it's speilburgs signature lego's and it looks like him.

Jackie Chan:
This one is a bit of a stretch (but compared to the Orson Wells/Unicron one, maybe not
) - Roddy McDowall directed a film, Tam Lin (this prevented him from starring in Beneath the Planet of the Apes ) and there are several figures based on his Cornelius character, including this classic Mego one:

Toys from Dragon Lord??
Any other action figures from Hong Kong films of the early 80's?
Oh, and I forgot that Lon Chaney directed a few films.
And according to IMDB, they were all shot in 1915

JasonF your wife beat me to Ron Howard! We even found the same picture.
So I'm left with...
Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek 3 and 4, Three men and a Baby)
Stallone (Rocky 2,3,4)
Alan Alda (Betsy's Wedding)

It's funny, I was looking at my Lon Chaney London after Midnight figure and thinking "Did he ever direct any films? Probably not", without checking first.
And I forgot all about the Mego Richie Cunningham and Mr. Spock figures.
I might as well also add:
Edit: Crap, I mentioned him and I forgot. Bruce Lee directed Return of the Dragon and part of Game of Death. There are numerous figures of him. I have this one:

This is getting addictive. I thought of a few more:
Shintaro Katsu (aka Zatoichi) directed a few films, including his 1989 comeback as the Zatoichi character:
Japanese actors Sonny Chiba and Toshiro Mifune directed at least one film each:
All of these action figures were made by Japanese toy company Alfrex, are insanely detailed (intricate clothing, real wood sandals, and real metal swords), are limited and quite expensive. They also made a complete set of Seven Samurai figures that retailed for about $1000.00.
And Takeshi Kitano (from the Battle Royale Kubrick set. Not a great likeness, but that is supposed to be him on the left):
Andy Warhol kind of directed what could loosely be considered films:
Kevin Spacey ( Albino Alligator and the upcoming Beyond the Sea ) as a part of these Usual Suspects Kubrick figures:
