I don't collect celebrity dolls so it's honestly out of my range of interest. But it's still a brilliantly done doll of an 80s pop culture icon. So I totally get why people like it.

That likeness is incredible. As always, great video. The whistling music always makes me smile.

"The Action Figure"… love that, and I too appreciate that NECA isn't afraid to (still) experiment with eccentric and funny toys.

Oh, and perhaps your best montage yet!

I hope I win the contest on your Youtube page, or else I will have to buy this figure.

" Lighten up Francis!" LOL! Exactly. Full agreement here. I like it when companies expand their audience and go after icons in all areas of film and television. Simmons is no exception and a fun choice. It also opens the door for so many other possibilities if they sell well. Its a great time in figure land.

Grown adult collectors complaining about the kitsch factor of a Richard Simmons figure need to look a bit inward, I think. Guess what...you collect kitsch.

This is a great-looking figure, and the "Silly Music Montage" had me laughing out loud. Seeing Dracula and the Creech running from the screaming Simmons was the highlight of my day. Thank you.

I have never attempted it, but is it relatively easy to transfer a NECA head to a Type S body?

[CrimsonGhost]

I really want to get one, especially since it’s existence makes some people angry!

I’d say no. You would have to come up with a neck.

Finally a base for my long awaited Leo Sayer custom

Great video Brian! Letterman would be great. If Neca will release 8" figures of Captain Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), Pee Wee Herman, Dottie, Francis, Beetlejuice, Axel Foley, Steve Martin, The Monster Squad movie cast (including the kids), The original Ghostbusters cast, and Barbarella, all of our lives would be perpetually better.

The Herbert West image may be the single greatest picture you have ever done.

It insisted upon itself.
