Keith Richards Will Burn Your Toys and Smoke Them
The word hero gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but Japanese toymaker isn’t afraid to call the Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards a hero. Keith has waged his own one-man war on drugs?by trying to do them all himself?while simultaneously rocking for the last 40+ years. Medicom is celebrating him with a 12-inch action figure as part of its Real Action Hero line, complete with guitar. You can import Keef through Sideshow, for a mere $150, which might cover Keith’s breakfast smack. (Via Action-Figure)
