Get some action with Goonies

Published 4:00 pm Thursday, November 22, 2007

Attention Goonies fans! While obsessing over will-there/won’t-there be another film, die-hard Goonies aficionados can collect Goonie action figures, or put them on their wish-lists to Santa for Christmas.

Mezco Toyz and Warner Brothers Consumer Products collaborated on this venture to produce “the first assortment of action figures featuring: Mikey – with map, Copper Bones, Spanish Doubloon, alternate hand with inhaler and bag of marbles; Data – with Bully Buster, Pinchers of Peril, sticky dart and dynamite; Chunk [shown] – with statue of David, milk shake and piece of pizza; Mouth – with lantern, hair brush, pirate sword and pirate treasure; [and] Sloth – with pirate hat, pirate sword and candy bar.” Prototypes are shown in the photos on the Web site, with the caveat “final product may vary.”

Beware, though, this is not an inexpensive collection. The five “The Goonies series 1 Action Figures” are available as a group for $85, or for $17 each. To see if the Ear is kidding (I’m not, really!), go to (www.mezcotoyz.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=508) Goonies never say die, now they say “Plastics, young man!”
