Each piece features a different and strangely hypnotic bobbling motion at the slightest touch; the Glove bobbles sways from the wrist as if in flight, the Yellow Submarine appears to float with suitable nautical pitch and sway, the Blue Meanie waves his arms franticly. MSRP is $19.99 each.
Coming in late 2012:
1/6 Scale Figures – The classic Beatles Yellow Submarine characters, John, Paul, George and Ringo immortalized as stunning and highly detailed 12” tall collector grade figures.
