1/6 Mr. Bean by ENTERBEAN ...eerr... I meant ENTERBAY
The teasers have now become a reality. ENTERBAY is set to release their 1/6th-scale MR. BEAN in January 2009 [www] ~ and we should be afraid, very afraid... ~ well, not becoz the product "sucks", but becoz it looks scarily like the real character, IMHO. Kudos to Arnie Kim (he of Bruce Lee-sculpts) for the sculpted-likeness of actor Rowen Atkinson. And the "Interchangeable 360 Eyeball System" is used to frighteningly full-effect here! *V.Cool App* for this figure.
While I personally may question the validity of the mere existence of a 1/6th-scaled Mr Bean in the high-end hobby, I cannot deny the exceptional care and effort put into the production of this figure ~ well, at least seeing it online, that is. US$150 will get you sum Bean-lurve, and I'm sure it'll be a fab collectible to be had by hardcore-fans :)
The retro suitcase is a super-sweet touch tho! (I'm a sucker for 1/6th-scaled luggage lah). If it could actually open up? Then that would be champion indeed :) ~ CLICK THRU for more pics and product stats :)
