I totally want one of those Bruce Lee dolls. And where the heck did he get a tiny butterfly knife for Tony Montana?

I thought you meant 'where the heck did he get Tony Montana?' How is there even a Scarface action figure? Why?
Except that then I googled it and discovered that not only is there a Tony Montana action figure, there are many, many Tony Montana action figures.

The easiest way is to get some 1/6 action figure with lots of accessories.

I need to email this link to everyone who made fun of me for playing with "dolls".
They're NOT DOLLS, they're ACTION FIGURES and they can be ART.**
**And by art, I mean taking them off my bookshelves and taking awesome photographs of them.

That Joker action figure looks more like Jack Nicholson than any mass-produced toy has any right to.

From the link text I expected something like The Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung-Fu Kangaroos.

With dolls, you can take their clothes off. With action figures, you can't. Hate to say it, but these are mostly dolls.

I have never heard that definition before, DaveLog. Huh.
In other news, turns out that there's a pretty robust market for specialized 1/6 figure custom sculpt heads, clothing and accessories on eBay. Man, that's a rabbit hole, and an expensive one at that.
All I have is a Adventure Team GI Joe with Lifelike Hair and Kung-Fu Grip that is evidently a doll.

These are pretty great, and so much better than the ACTION FIGURES I had as a kid.

These are great. Reminded me of "Superman, Superman, crunchy little Superman".

One of our trivia categories last week was Officially Licensed Movie Toys, which included Django Unchained Action Figures, a suspiciously dildoesque ET Finger, and a 50 Shades of Grey teddy bear with a tiny silk scarf and tiny handcuffs. Scarface doesn't surprise me anymore.
