My girlfriend Mary bought an 'Officially Unofficial' Freddie Mercury paper doll set at Breakthru this year (Cleveland Rocks! was that room 833 making the beautiful noise?), but she lets me put it in my desk menagerie at work along with the Queen comics, cd sleeves, MK '82 poster etc-- pretty surreal! The Freddie wears several fabulous outfits: the white 'angel' frock, a brocade Japanese-style jacket, a chessboard catsuit, red silk lounge jacket WITH glass of champagne, white trousers (no pockets, no Coke bottle), a black Mercury suit (black Mercury? that surreal HydroGyrum!) The winner is the BoRhap outfit. Yeah he's got a hairy chest and briefs -- frankly, I would've guessed Freddie preferred a thong or commando style -- briefs seem more 'Brian' -- but John and Roger would be boxers, if a ask me ;)
Jenn Waitt thank you for such a cool toy! You rock!

Yes, there have been paper dolls of Queen around since 1993.
Jenn Waitt is the artist who created them and you can sometimes find her at US Conventions ( and the occasional UK one) selling her "Officially Unoffical Queen Paper Dolls". They are indeed a treat, and a incredible novelty. There is nothing like them!
I have all four bandmembers and they are all a hoot. I have heard that some of the members of the band themselves have these as well.
They are definately worth getting your hands on if you can find them!
Regarding the action figures, i would love to see them produced sometime as mentioned in the previous posts. It always angered me that bands like Metallica and the like can be "immortalized" in plastic and one of the biggest selling bands of all time is not! I for one would be first in line to purchase a 70's set!

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.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
FWIW, I have heard terrible things about Andgor. Very, very behind on orders, very very slow on refunds for unshipped items that people get tired of waiting a year+ for, some people never getting anything at all. They don't have a tremendous reputation AFAIK.

Oh, darn! Thanks for the info - really. There go my hopes for a Freddie doll. I wonder if there is any other company that makes customized action figures.
