Talking John Lennon Action Figure Coming Soon
The Web site for the National Entertainment Collectibles Association has unveiled pictures of a new John Lennon action figure that is expected to arrive in stores in the spring.
The 18-inch doll, dubbed "The New York Years" John Lennon, will utter "authentic" phrases used by Lennon, according to the Web site.
A spokesman for Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, could not be reached for comment, nor could officials for National Entertainment Collectibles.
A picture of the figurine, patterned after the former peace activist, appears on the association's Web site next to a bloody figurine and a picture from slasher flick "The Devil's Rejects," a movie about serial killers.
As a solo artist, Lennon wrote songs like "Imagine," which asked listeners to consider a world with "nothing to kill or die for." His hits with the Beatles included "All You Need is Love."
Earlier this month, Lennon fans gathered around the world to remember him on the 25th anniversary of his death. He was shot and killed in 1980, at age 40, outside his New York apartment.
Ono marked the occasion by laying a bouquet of white peonies on the "Imagine" mosaic in New York's Central Park and blowing kisses to the crowd, which numbered around 200.
