(81003) L-XL $16.95 XXL $20.95 GRAPHITTI DESIGNS JAY & SILENT BOB ACTION FIGURES The fears of parents worldwide have been realized, The Jay and Silent Bob Action Figures are here!! Sculpted by Norm DeCarlo (whose past credits include Nightmare Before Christmas and Toy Story), based on designs by Matt Wagner, these figures capture the attitude made popular in the films of Kevi Smith's. Each 8" tall figure is generously articulated and contains lots of cool accessories. Push Jay's button on back, and here him talk. Six sound bytes were recorded specially by Jason Mewes himself for use in his figure. Press Bob's button 'til you're blue in the face, but do not lament, his name is Silent Bob after all! Though in the middle of producing his next movie, Kevin Smith's oversaw and provided valuable direction on all aspects of the Jay & Silent Bob figures. Ben Affleck may have his image on an Armaggedon action figure, but Kevin and Jason have one-up on Ben by having figures of their very own...that are waay cooler!! We suggest that retailers use these figures along with the Kevin Smith/View Askew comics from Oni Press, to attract a whole new consumer to your store. Let people know through ads in your local weekly papers (such as the LA Weekly or whatever's in your area), that you've got Kevin Smith product in your store that they can get nowhere else. What more could you want. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES - Please note that these figures are not for young kids and are for the same age group as the Kevin Smith movies. Please note that the Jay & Silent Bob figures contain drug-related accessories, rude hand gestures and large canine sex organs. PREVIEWS SHARED EXCLUSIVE.
