Move Over GI Joe, It’s Johann Sebastian Bach
November 23rd, 2007Recently made an unusual acquisition at a music store in Rockville, Connecticut. An ‘action figure’ of the baroque German composer and organist Johann Bach. This is not the first time I have come across a music-related action figure. Of course, the band’s merchandise machine has ensured that figurines of the members of KISS can be found at the local toy or novelty shop. Last time in the U.S., I picked up a figurine of Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
But an action figure of a classical musician is something I didn’t expect to see. If I recall correctly, I saw one or two other classical musicians in the series, but I opted for the Bach figurine. Will have to find a place for it when I get back.
