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. |

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. |

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..  -------------

| How about Emerson with his famous ribbon thingie with flames, or Greg Lake with a roll on sausage, Phil Collins with no personality, or how about Pink Floyd dolls with Waters on the outside. |
