I don’t know who got this idea but they were onto something,… Henry Rollins as an action figure talking like the real deal? This could work or even be a bit dangerous if you believe this video.
In this fake toy advertisement, re-posted by Down the Show (but it’s was actually posted on Funny or Die a little while ago), two children get a ‘My Talking Henry Rollins’ action figure, that is a ‘miniature version of the punk rock icon/spoken-word artist/author’, and they enjoy it for a few minutes. Of course, the action figure comes with Rollins’ tattoos and, interestingly has no batteries included as the doll ‘comes loaded with 45-year reserve of testosterone that keeps him in a stage of perpetual adolescent rage’. Ha! You can’t make with up! And My Talking Henry Rollins truly kicks ass, in just two minutes he manages to alienate the little girl and transform the nice boy into a rage-charged hardcore kid beating up his dad, while the Rollins doll is screaming the lyrics of Black Flag ‘s ‘Family Man’ at the dad’s face.
It’s simply hilarious, and they definitively should make a Henry Rollins doll, that would be very badass, I mean it’s not too far stretched, they already made an Iggy Pop one… But, wait a minute, this blog has actually a Henry Rollins doll and this one another one!
Seriously, watch this video, it’s only 2-minute long, and this doll will eventually shut up at the end of it, which would probably not be the case in real life.
