Action figures sure are fun. You get to play Spider-Man in the comfort of your own room. Or stage the Luke Skywalker vs. Incredible Hulk showdown you’ve always dreamed of.
But what if you want to play Reservoir Dogs or watch Sid Vicious go up against Edward Scissorhands?
Then you bust out the Kubricks. The Japanese action figures come in a hilarious variety of characters based on your favorite midnight movies: The Blair Witch Project, Planet of the Apes (complete with a half-submerged Statue of Liberty), Tron, and, yes, Reservoir Dogs. (Alas, Sid comes sans Nancy. Maybe Barbie is available?) Other options include Kellogg’s mascots and the Gumby gang.
The excellent design (Lego meets anime) guarantees that the 2.4-inch figurines look great sitting on the shelf, while the sturdy construction allows them to hold up during the roughest play.
Which, let’s face it, is bound to happen when you put Tony the Tiger in a room with a bunch of hyperevolved apes.
