I just had a crazy thought. What if a toy company released a line of progressive rock action figures? Just think of the possibilities:

Robert Fripp with talking aphorism modulator!

Peter Gabriel equipped with four different masks from the Genesis years!

Keith Emerson including a flammable Hammond organ!

Mike Oldfield with multi-intrumental action!

ATTENTION! This topic was made out of extreme boredom. Please don't crucify me too badly.  Any other ideas?
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Phil Collins with removeable hair pieces to re-enact the early and latter Genesis years.  Also with karate chop drumming action.
Tell me my life is about to begin
Tell me that I am a hero,
Promise me all of your violent dreams
Light up your body with anger.

Alex Lifeson with realistic hair and matching law
enforcement officer figure for all-out brawling action!

Neil Peart with foe-defeating moustache - features
real whip-action!

Geddy Lee stick figure with detachable double neck
bass, fashion-defying hair (Tm) and built-voice
'glass-shattering' voice chip.
Press his comedy nose and Ged will say the
following key Rush phrases:
"Attention all planets of the Solar Federation"
"And the men who hold high places"
"Hey Alex, who ate all the pies?"

Good stuff!

How about a JP Weathers playset, complete with drumkit, 20 different interchangeable "drumfaces", coke bottle glasses, an Oakland A's outfit, and as an added extra, a cool mini-vibraphone. Other band members sold separately, so if you want to recreate the "drum bash" you'll have to fork over some more dough.

Magma action figures, complete with black overalls, assasin shades, Magma medallion and each says 10 different Kobaian phrases. The Christian Vander one will have full manic drumming action.

 Not only The Wall action figures but Non-prog group "Motley Crue" had action figures made of themselves... I believe they are now very collectable..

Geddy Lee with removable cahonies for that sqrilling
octave. Comes with Playskool keyboard with
popcorn action bubble toy.

of course this is a squeeky toy!

comes with a Star Trek comic book so you can make
your own songs for little Gekky to singalong to.
