So you call yourself a Beatles fan?

Posted almost 3 years ago

Would you be willing to fork over $2500 of your hard earned cash to prove it? Medicom teamed up with Silly Things and Kidrobot to create beautiful blue versions of Paul, John, Ringo and George. Each version stands at 27 inches tall, and personally I think the Ringo one is the best! This is a limited edition run and can only be bought as a set.I have always been a big fan of vinyl collectables, but I think this is taking it too far? How about David, feel like owning a piece of history?

    They will not last long..it may very well be taking it too far,but someone will pay for Blue Beatles..If it were the members of Portishead or even Placebo they wouldn't. is their an elvis in the pipeline? Or maybe a U2 (with all proceedes to charity).

    I think the Paul looks pretty good, too. The other two, not so much.

    And what is with the umpires' chest protectors they're wearing?

    I feel like KISS did this years ago...but then again, maybe not.

    $2500 for all...or each?  Nevermind...I'm just curious....it doesn't really matter all vs. each.

    wow, i'm not that big of a Beatles fan, but those toys are fabulous!  Mr. Burns (of Simpson's fame) is a big Beatles' fan, yes?  I'm sure he'd scoop these up in a heartbeat!  (Or was that Flanders...?)

    So glad I'm not a big Beatles fan(used to be when I was a kid though). I passed up seeing Paul at Coachella for other groups I wanted to see.

    $2500 is way too much to spend on toys.

    For that money you could buy period memoribilia that's already got built in value and limited editioness. I'll have a set of autographs or the gold and yellow label version of Meet The Beatles thank you.

    Doh! That should be black and yellow label....Too early to contemplate having $2500 to spend on friipperies.

    For the record, those are based on the character designs from the Al Brodax-produced Beatles animated cartoon series made in the U.S. during the '60s for Saturday morning kiddie TV. Brodax also produced the far more artful "Yellow Submarine" feature film, so I try not to hold these bizarre caricatures against him. Oh yeah. I ain't buyin'.

    I've gotta agree with Jonh. If you were a die-hard Beatles fan, you'd probably spend your cash on collectible collectibles. BUT, if you were going to buy these just as works of art (and had the cash money), why not? At that height they'd make a great display.

    Hmm, I'd buy them, they look pretty cool! I'm not saying I'm going to buy them... because I'm poor, but if I had an extra 2500 laying around, I might consider it! :)

    It's amazing how the hobby of collecting memorabilia is a much more expensive hobby than collecting rare music and even vintage vinyl.

    I think the folks who might buy this for that much already have all the music..
