There's a new action figure coming to toy store shelves which will immortalize the singer in plastic... just what children nationwide have always hoped for! Seriously, what is this thing doing at Toys R Us? And whygodwhy did the toy manufacturers give us the 63-year-old Iggy over the youthful 20-something Iggy who started strutting his stuff on stage with The Stooges in the '60s?
The man has been going full force even in his older age, so we'll just assume this is an homage to his endurance. Either way, you can now pre-order on Toys R Us for just $14.99 (free shipping!). [via Ben Sisario]
