Being that I have never seen such things on eBay, I assume there never were any Queen paper dolls or action figures. How did the Queen merchandising machine miss this opportunity?!!! Wouldn't that have been fun to have had a Freddie Mercury doll and been able to buy his numerous costumes for it? Okay. I would still like to do this. Maybe I will have to go out and buy a Ken doll and paint a mustache on it. Oh, cripes, then I will have to learn to sew. Wouldn't it be great if the official Queen site would manufacture this and put it in its store?

Actually there was a little bit of talk of Queen action figures back when Todd MacFarlane's company was doing figures of KISS and Metallica. Queen were occasionally mentioned as one of the bands the company would consider, along with many many other bands. I think they got about as far as Ozzy and Hendrix before the Janice Joplin action figure pretty well did them in and they went back to just doing several different visual incarnations of KISS (which I assume was always their biggest seller anyway).

I think they also put out a Motley Crue action figure series this year, but I'm not sure how well it sold/is selling. I only saw Kiss action figures and the Metallica figures at Spencer's when I was there a few weeks ago.
Maybe if they put Kiss makeup on the Queen action figures, they'd be big sellers.... LOL

Erin!!!!! :D
Erin!!!!! :D
Tower Records has action figures for Kiss, Aerosmith, Metallica, Alice Cooper.
It WOULD be cool if they did do action figures for Queen, circa about 1974-1975, like when Freddie wore his black satin sequined covered cat suit and Brian wore his cape and they all looked so rockin' and dramatic!
get your Queen super action figures.
You can bend Freddie any way he WOULD want!
You can bend Brian to play his Red Special at lightening speed.
You can bend Roger to simultaneously hit his toms while taking on a groupie.
You can bend John (oops..sorry John just stands there, he doesn't bend)
(Just so you know if you buy John, he comes that way, he's NOT broken, he just doesn't move/bend!)

They have done a Slash figure as well as a few of Elvis, and are currently working on a '3D Album Cover' series that will begin with Led Zeppelin 1.
Also, The newest Beatles figures are great. :)

If do you happen to buy any of the rock star toys, don't forget to let them out of their packaging so they don't go stir crazy. After all look what happened to Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2.
Shit I wouldnt mind them making the whole band playing on stage as figures. Like they did for Motley Crue and Metallica. Id love to see one made for Rush too.
Hey, if you scroll to the bottom they have HEADS for sale. :-)

Wow! What a fascinating website! The heads of famous people really look like them. Is anyone interested in having a Freddie Mercury action figure - seriously. I think a replica of Freddie at the Live Aid concert would be terrific. I'd have to read and andgor.com website more closely, but it sounds like the first figure is $400 - the head, that is. And then bulk quantities are, of course, much less. Would anyone out there is Queenland pay $40 for a Freddie doll? Just testing the water.
