Jo, jo, det er rigtigt nok – Stan Lee bliver til en actionfigur fra Hasbro:
Comic-book fans already know Stan Lee is a Marvel legend. Now Hasbro is making it official.
The company will pay plastic tribute to the 84-year-old creator of Spider-Man, the Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four and other comic-book heroes by interpreting him as a 6-inch tall Marvel Legends action figure. The toy shows Lee’s likeness wearing khaki pants, a blue windbreaker and eyeglasses.
“We feel it’s long overdue that Stan Lee be immortalized as an action figure, much like the dozens of marvelous characters that he has created for years and years,” said Eric Nyman, Hasbro’s vice president of marketing. “And it couldn’t be more fitting than to create him as a ‘Marvel Legends’ figure.”
Og som om det ikke er nok, får han også en stjerne i Hollywoods berømte Walk of Fame.
Jeg samler ikke på figurer, men jeg er fristet af denne her – den mangler bare at kunne sige “Excelcior!” eller “Greetings, True Believers!” på random tidspunkter.
Hvis det her griber om sig, er der mange figurer at se frem til – jeg er nødt til at eje en Rob Liefeld-figur med grotesk proportionerede lemmer og et blinkende bionisk øje, der skifter side i hovedet når man ikke kigger…
