Anatomically correct where it counts - just like Barbie's boobs. By Fred Claus
Hey kids! Itching to burn through that Toys ‘R Us gift card you got from Aunt Effie for Christmas? Or just needing to go to the mega-store and exchange some of the wack junk that your parents gave you so you can score some real swag? (For some reason adults still seem to think that Leap Pad, with its "educational" element, makes for a fun experience, not realizing that in 2011, kids are looking to see iPads and iPod Touches under their trees.)
Well, we have the perfect thing for you: an Iggy Pop Action Figure, by NECA. For just a mere $13.98 you too can have a replica of the original streetwalkin' cheetah, in all his tight-jeaned (so tight you can check out his "package," yo), bare-chested glory. He'll make your Batman or Band toys look positively tubercular by comparison.
According to the manufacturer, "The godfather of punk, the legendary Iggy Pop is finally immortalized in action figure form. This highly detailed figure stands 6 3/4" tall and comes with microphone and display stand." Additional accessories, such as peanut butter jar, sold separately.
Oddly, at the Toys ‘R Us product page, some "related items" that you might also want to consider include a Hannibal Lecter Action Figure, a Freddie Krueger Replica Glove, and an Iron Maiden "Killers" Action Figure.
