Create an image of a 3D action figure named John, displayed in a clear plastic blister package with a creative design. The figure resembles a light-skinned white male with a short straight grey hair and wearing a black baseball hat with a white captial "C" on the hat. The figure is wearing square black glasses with a grey tint. He wears a black t-shirt that reads "SQLMCT.com" in white letters,  and a pair of black jeans.  The top of the packaging is navy blue and features a bold white font: "John Deardurff" (as the name) "Microsoft Certified Trainer" (as the job title) Inside the packaging, alongside the figure, include job-related accessories: a black Galaxy S20 cell phone, a "SQL Server" book, a baseball bat, a black Microsoft Surface device with a mirrored Windows logo, and no other devices. The background of the package should be a baseball field. The design should be clean, cartoonish, and neatly styled, resembling a collectible toy sold in stores.
