Kurt Cobain: Action Figure

Submitted by susannah_breslin

Edited by susannah_breslin

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.

He did write a song called "I Hate Myself and Want to Die." Which is pretty goth/emo. Plus he had a lock on hustling himself as the reluctant rock-star. Like someone forced him to sign to a major label and do magazine covers and videos and shit.

Someone DID force him too... His name is Benjamin. It's all about the Benjamin's baby.

Oh man. I would love it if Todd McFarlane made a toy out of me, post-death.

Um, have you HEARD "I Hate Myself and Want to Die"? It's firmly tongue-in-cheek, and it's now unfortunately taken as prophecy.

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



All I have to say is...how much longer before the Robert Johnson action figure is available?
