I will kill him!

Check it out, got me some new toys:




Feyd-Rautha, Harkonnen ANIMAL

I only recently found out that there were even such things as Dune action figures. It never occurred to me that they would bother making toys for a weird artsy David Lynch sci-fi movie, but sure enough, they did. I found a mess of them on ebay, they usually seem to go for $20-$40 each. I fell asleep at the wheel on a lot of five of them a few weekends ago but pulled through to get this Feyd Rautha. I am so happy about having this. I love that he comes with antidote cat.

The chances of me taking him out of the package are pretty good. The plastic is yellow and cracking and I don't care about the collectible value, which couldn't possibly ever be all that much. The cardboard is kind of fun and I'll keep it, but I think I will free Feyd so he can live on my desk.

Also recently obtained for a scant $8:




Lt. Commander Worf, put-upon Klingon officer on the Enterprise

Probably my favorite Next Generation character. He might stay in the packaging. Also no cares about collectible value, but I just love the packaging too much. Every single phrase is trademarked. They call special attention to his individual number for his collectible value, but the number is well into the 100,000s.

Just for the record, I dig action figures but am no collector. These are favorite characters from favorite shows. I'd love to have all the Dune figures, but because they are awesome, not because I have some optimism that they'll Be Worth Something Some Day. The rest of my collection consists of, I think, maybe six more toys.
