new and improved Maverick®, now with Kung-fu Grip™

Now this is a meme worth stealing. From jameel:

In the toy aisle of any shop, all of the dolls come packaged with one or two “accessories”. Barbie has her handbag, The Hulk has a big rock, and Action Man always came with some sort of cool gizmo.

If you were to buy a chrismaverick action figure, what would it come with? If I were to go to a toy shop and buy a YOU action figure, which one or two little objects would be in your package with you?

    You would come in a super action set with a discoball, massage oil, a sickle with which to defend Okinawa, a break away wrestling chair, and a whole lot of high tech gizmos.

      hmmm… interesting. I need a new disco ball. Haven’t had one in ages. Massage oil should only be in the special edition ladies’ man Maverick. The sickle is good. Chair… eh… I’m not so much with the hitting people with chairs. But sure. As for the gizmos. Hmm… guess it depends on what they are.

      And you?

      1. October 4, 2004 at 8:30 am

        Me?

        Well, I should definitely come with a rapier & dagger, maybe other swords too. And a good pair of dancing shoes. Maybe a bartender’s mixing set. And a tux. I will have to try this meme out myself.

    For you? Exfoliating stuff. 🙂

    For me? I don’t know.

      really, exfoliating stuff? That’s the main Maverick accessory? Hmm… hadn’t thought of that one.

      For you? Easy, a powerbook? Maybe a DDR pad? A PVC Jamie?

      1. October 4, 2004 at 7:07 am

        Well, exfoliating stuff is my way of saying “girly stuff to make yourself pretty”. 🙂 Outfits should be sold separately. There would be lots of them.

        I guess the powerbook works for me… Jamie’d be her own action figure.

          maybe you could be sold both together and separately. You know, like there’d be the single blister packs and then a special mother and daughter deluxe edition. Maybe it could even come with like a living room set or something too.

    I have more varieties than Batman!

    Battle-damaged Maverick comes with shinai, handstand action, break-away knee, and bottle of SoCo for him and you! Battle-damaged Vagabond with realistic breaking engine parts sold separately.

    Liquored-up Jameel comes with Everlasting Screwdriver™, bottle of Maker’s Mark™ whiskey, punching-self-in-nuts action, and one of five collectible varieties of Black Man’s Kryptonite (additional Black Man’s Kryptonite sold separately)!

      bah! my knee hasn’t broken away in years. The shoulder is the weak link these days.

      Oooh… the evil black man’s kryptonite warrior villainess action figures! good idea!

    Chrismaverick action figure would come with 6 sets of removable pajamas, one on top of the other.

    Marli action figure would come with a pitchpipe.

      what’s a pitchpipe?

      1. October 5, 2004 at 10:13 am

        A little (generally round) piece of wood and metal that works rather like a harmonica. Singers and other musicians use these to find a note they need for tuning purposes.

          ah… I know what it is now… hmm… that’d be tiny at action figure scale. Choking hazard! Not for children under 5!

          1. October 5, 2004 at 4:15 pm

            I am rarely considered safe for children.

            Marli is toxic when ingested. If Marli gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and consult a physician.
