Bowie the Action Figure- Dance Magic, Dance!
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom
In case you’ve ever felt like your room was missing a little something…and realized that something was an creepy guy with tight pants and way too much make-up, Palisades Toys has got you covered. Set for release in 2006 is the twelve inch tall Goblin King Jareth action figure, with 27 points of articulation. It will come dressed in a Regency shirt, breeches and riding boots, complete with three magical crystal balls, a riding crop, and an intricate necklace. The Goblin King, for those of you unfortunate enough to not have a clear memory of the 80s, is the villain from Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, played by David Bowie. The action figure will be the first in a line of Labyrinth figures to be produced by Palisades Toys, and will cost you roughly 40 dollars.
I love Labyrinth, seriously I do, but I can’t possibly imagine wanting to own this action figure. It’s creepy enough seeing

You remind me of the girl.
What girl?
The girl with the power.
What power?
The power of voodoo.
Voodoo? Who do? You do? Do what?
Remind me of the girl.
.. or something like that. I love that movie too, but I think having a Bowie doll sitting on my desk might scare people away. Specially when I make him sing and dance.

Holy Crap that's scary!
I'd rather see it as a Block Figure like a palZ or something I can hide in my pocket like a Shockini or Minimate so people don't think im friggin nutz!

Being a huge Bowie fan, I will definitely buy this doll. In the film itself...A tisket, A tasket, I see Bowie's basket!
Maybe the doll will be anatomically correct as well?
Anyhoo! The movie's great and Bowie is superb. Next I'd like to see a doll from the movie "Basquiat" where Bowie played Andy Warhol. I could set the two dolls next to each other and stage an argument between them. (who's got the scariest hair)

Who cares about anyone being scared by this. Are you kidding me? What's so scary about it? I'd love to have one!
