I saw this figure posted by an AFOL on a facebook group this week and I reached out to him and I was able to purchase it from him. I thought it looked interesting enough to research it a little.
So, it appears that Vicon had 250 of these figures made to be given out as a promotional item. It looks like they were given away in various contest and trade shows by Vicon over the past several months. The winners were then encouraged to post photos of the figures in various locations throughout the world with the hashtag #ReadySetMocap.
After receiving the figure, I am happy with it and it looks really good. I really like the dot design and the black suit with the dots at the articulation points fits the company quite well,
I am going to try something a little different and add the pictures to Flickr. Here is an album with all of them. I will include a few below. The front, the back and the card.
Finally, the card that came with it.
It is made from all Lego parts and it appears to be digitally printed. I am not sure if this figure is a custom or if it was made for Vicon by Lego. I would assume it is a custom, but maybe someone will email me and tell me the real answer.
If you go to Twitter and search #ReadySetMocap you will see quite a few pics of this guy.
Here is one neat pic I found.

Thank you for noticing our custom MoCap man figurine. We had them custom made by a third party to give to customers and have available at trade shows. We hope you love him as much as we do. ~Cheers! The Vicon Marketing Team
