Kurt Cobain: Action Figure

The National Entertainment Collectibles Association has created a Kurt Cobain Action Figure. The press release is titled "Kurt Lives" and reveals that while Cobain may be dead, what the fans want is a Kurt Cobain action figure, and so a Kurt Cobain action figure they have gotten. The Cobain figurine is clad in a "Smells Like Teen Spirit" inspired ensemble and will be standing on shelves near you in June.

While Kurt Cobain may no longer be part of the corporeal world, his words, voice, music, and attitude can still be felt today thanks to the full albums, videos, and unheard of amount of bootlegs left behind. Sure, there are still some songs here and there that diehard Nirvana fans may have not been able to get in its finest form of clarity, and we are still waiting for an official DVD release that catalogs all their music videos, but the one thing that many fans have been asking for and have never received in ANY form, official or not, is an action figure. Many other musical icons have been brought to plastic and NECA is proud to be able to bring that same respect and admiration to Kurt Cobain's memory with our figure.

Based on his appearance in the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" this Kurt Cobain Action figure includes his guitar, rendered in painstaking detail, and part of the gymnasium floor as his base. Be on the lookout for Kurt to stand with his guitar again on store shelves late in June. Here is our first look at our "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Kurt Cobain.

I gather then you're not a big fan of Todd McFarlane?

Meh.

Actually though, I could really care less about whether or not they try and make some cash with an action figure. What bugs me is the way they did his hair. And his face looks... wrong. Not sure why, just from the neck up that thing frightens me.
