Any time an adult buys a toy they either use the excuse that it’s for their kid or it’s a collector’s item. However, a new action figure coming out may have a few grownups taking it out of the box for some play time. The Beastie Boys recently announced plans to release a set of action figures inspired by their iconic ‘Sabotage’ music video.
On Monday, the Beastie Boys announced they teamed with toy designer Super7 for a line of action figures. The toys will feature Ad Rock, MCA, and Mike D as their ‘Sabotage’ alter-egos. According to NME, the action figures cost $20 each, are currently available for pre-order and are due to ship by September.
This is not the first music collaboration Super7 has done, previously releasing action figures for Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Misfits and Run DMC. “Music inspires everything that Super7 does and we all have songs and artists that are the soundtrack to our lives,” said the toy designer. Soon fans will be having a Beastie Boys vs Run DMC battle like no other.
