I read somewhere, a while back, that you can get an action figure made of yourself. Kind of cool, huh? So I brought this up at work on one of those slow days when you search desperately for something to talk about, because we're not allowed to write or read (unless it's the Standard Operating Procedure) because they wouldn't want us to appear literate.
TSA Action Figures! Hours of fun for the kids!
'I've got Afa! Look, when I hit the button he says, "When did we staaht doing thaat?"'
'Well I've got C. Swagger! He's got his little notebook that he counts calories in, and he blows kisses to his biceps!'
'I've got Rev. Ricco! He smiles until you give him a radio. Then he becomes The General!'
I can't remember the others we came up with. We had to have a Ghostman figure, even though he's not with us anymore, but we weren't sure how to signify that he's pulled his trademark disappearing act. Have the doll turn all white? Or it could be left up to the ingenuity of the kid.
Of course whoever is playing with the BuddyBoy doll has to make him sing and dance until everyone pays attention to HIM. When everyone is distracted, the kid playing Ghostman can position him strategically behind a pillar.;)
And the kiddies set up their little checkpoint, and then you can use the other action figures you've got to play the passengers. Arwyn works, because supposedly Liv Tyler comes through all the time (I guess I've never recognized her).
But we decided we had to have a special passenger action figure, too - Pants Dropping Guy. There's this one guy who, when you ask him to take off his shoes, he'll get pissed at you and drop his pants. He said he was going to do it every week as civil disobedience, because he flies every Friday afternoon, but this past Friday there was a cop sitting there waiting for him, and he chickened out. Everyone at the checkpoint was quite disappointed - they'd been anticipating some fun out of that.;)
