Action
Figures: Poseable David, Derek and Nigel dolls released in
the fall of 2000 by Sideshow Toys. The 12-inch figures are dressed
as the band members appeared in the film while performing "Tonight
I'm Gonna Rock You (Tonight)." Sculpted by Mat Falls, each sold for about $25. David came
with a Cherry Burst Gibson Les Paul guitar, Jeanine's zodiac sketch
pad and a miniature Intravenus De Milo album. Nigel had a white
Flying V guitar, an amp knob that goes to 11 and the Shark Sandwich
album. Derek had a white B.C. Rich Eagle bass, a foil-wrapped
zucchini and the Rock and Roll Creation album. Each figure also
comes with a guitar-shaped, autographed foot stand and arrives
in a "full color" black box. Sideshow also planned a
second series of Tap dolls that spoke, but they never came to
be. Said Derek: "My legs are so much longer than they are
in real-life. I'm the same height as David and Nige, which is
basically a revelation to all of us." (ME)
