John Lennon Action Figure to be released in 2006

[LOVELYRITA]

Yes, you read it correctly. I saw this on CNN and did a google to find an article.

There will be a John Lennon doll released next year.

I read it too. It's obnoxious. Do you think that Yucko could think of any other way to exploit poor John's memory

[-Wings-]

Considering there were dolls made of the four back in the day, and two sets of action figures released in the last few years, I don't see the big idea. Beatles collectables sale. It's the nature of fame.

John Lennon in doll form, I can understand that. But "action" figure...it sounds like they are using the doll like they may have an Arnold Schwarzeneggar action figure...know what I mean?

I certainly hope they don't have a Yucko fashion doll.....

Action figure? What will it do?

Now, let me say I remember Mr. Lennon with affection, and
wish he were still here in the world today.

But....when you pull the string, will he say things like, "Picture Yourself on a Boat on a River", or "Help!", "I Am the Walrus", or worse still, "Think Bagism?"

Will it come with an optional Yoko attachment? Interchangeable wigs and granny glasses? Dress him in army fatigues or Beatle suits? A beard attachment?

G.I.John is here. Say Hello-Goodbye to Barbie and Ken.
;D

I can't see John Lennon as an 'action figure' either. That is ridiculous. Makes him sound like a GI Joe and he certainly wasn't militaristic in any way, shape or form!

God forbid they make a Yucko doll! UGH! Now a Yucko dartboard might be acceptable. ;D ;D ;D

Musical Vagabound, you are perfectly right in the fact that $omebody will make a bundle out of that doll. Now I wonder who that greedy per$on could be?? I bet it'$ Yucko O-no.......what did she do, go through all of John'$ money?

Her Boredway musical was a flop and she did nothing but destroy John's and the others image. But It claims It loved John. Do you destroy the image of someone you loved? Not in my book.

$he didn't make a bundle on that one, thankfully!

When they come out with a Pete Best doll what does that mean? Impending bankrupcy..?

Sheer desperation. How about a Hillary Fluff doll that squeaks lamo lyrics. Or a lip syncing Ashlee Simpson doll? Pre - Recorded Vocals sold seperately. You have to buy the AS vocal mixer along with the Justin Fingerflake (Itchy finger) set.

So how about an EM&M doll? When you pull the string he starts rappin' using language no mother or daughter wants to hear. Maybe the teen guys wanna buy it.. I dunno.

Okay, the John and Yoko doll set comes complete with Sean (Julian sold very seperately).

Macca doll comes complete with clues and a Cd of "Press To Play" outtakes. Yuck!

[LOVELYRITA]

John and Yucko doll comes with bed for doll bed in. And an optional bag to put over Yucko's head. When you pull Yucko's string you can hear her sing "Don't Worry Kyoko, Mummy's Only Looking for her hand in the snow" Has to be the worst noise ever recorded until William Hung came out.

Bill doll comes complete with face fillers and replacement parts, and psychedelic outfits.
Bill comes in the 1967 Era and in the modern edition. Linda and Heather dolls sold separately.

Ever notice that a young Sean Lennon, about 10, wearing glasses, resembles Harry Potter?
Maybe Sean was the inspiration for Harry Potter's "look".
