In time for the
holiday season, a collectable Jimi Hendrix figure will be produced and
marketed by McFarlane Toys, which has in the past created similar replicas
of Jerry Garcia, Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica, among others. Dressed
in blue velvet pants, white shirt and scarves, the six-inch action figure,
authorized by Experience Hendrix, will be accompanied by a stage base,
guitar, amplifiers, effects pedals, microphone and stand. A deluxe box set will boast a stage base reminiscent of that at the original Woodstock festival. The figurine will be shown in between two amplifier stacks, his hand raised in a peace sign. The standard figure is expected to retail for $12-15, and the deluxe box for about $20. More information can be found at the McFarlane Toys Web site. This beautifully rendered and intricately detailed 6-inch action figure will come in both a deluxe boxed set and a standard clamshell package. The boxed set includes guitar and a custom base, memorializing Jimi's iconic stage presence at the historical concert near Woodstock, NY, in August of 1969. |

The life-like figure re-creates
the persona of Jimi, dressed in his blue velvet pants and white fringed
shirt, with the familiar scarf tied around his hair and another wrapped
around his left leg. With his left-handed guitar strapped around his
neck, the performer is leaning back from his mic stand in front of two
amplifier stacks. The message spoken by this rendering is made clear
by the raised hand of the guitarist, giving the "peace" sign
to his adoring crowd. The base replicates an authentic section of the
wooden stage with metal framing and a cloth awning. The scene is made
complete with guitar effects pedals placed on the stage. The standard
figure will include a guitar, smaller stage section, one amp stack,
mic, mic stand and guitar effects pedals. |
