12 Inches of Mad, Johnny Depp-Inspired Hattery
?
It seems like forever since our Asian toymaking friends have unleashed an awesome 12-inch toy on us, but Medicom has stepped up with this figure of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland flick, which will certainly be excessively Tim Burton-y. Although Depp’s Hatter kind of looks like his Willy Wonka character and the Heath Ledger Joker had a baby which exploded, I know there are enough Tim Burton fans (and Johnny Depp fans, no matter what he’s wearing) that this figure would be of interest. It’s due out next spring, and you can pre-order it from Sideshow for $200 here. Thanks to Dread Central for the good pic.
