- Another glowing review of those beloved Clerks inaction figues appears at action-figure.com today, along with plenty of photos. Here’s a snippet:
Quality wise, these figures are flawless! Perfect paint, beautiful lines and excellent balance even from the top heavy and skrawny legged Silent Bob. The likenesses are so uncanny you’d think someone reached into the cartoon and yanked them out! Based on designs by Clerks cartoon animator Stephen Silver, sculptor Jon Matthews brings these characters to life…or plastic equivilent. You’re looking for a down side? I’m telling you, there are none here!! Looking closer you’ll even find little lines for their fingernails. The feel of the figures reminded me of chess pieces for some reason..most likely because they are pretty straight up and down. So if thats the case, is Silent Bob the Queen? Articulation? Maybe you missed the theme here. ZERO points for all your inaction adventures. “I wanted to make a line of toys that mirror my sex life,†explained Clerks creator/film maker Kevin Smith, “Zero action.†All figures measure roughly 5″ tall with a MSP of $9.37. Don’t ask, I have nooo idea.
If you don’t own them yet, get ‘em NOW! You don’t want to be playing catchup later when the new sets start showing up.
- REMINDER: This Monday, June 23rd at 9:00 PM, the History Channel is airing “Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked†which features an interview with Kevin. Check it out or throw it into the ‘ol Tivo schedule.
- British movie magazine “Hotdog†names Clerks as their Region 1 DVD of the month. Every month, they choose a disc not available in the U.K. and add it to their wishlist for stuff that should be released there. They give the movie a rating of five stars and the extras four.
