pointless (but fun) consumerism

[deird1]

I haven't ever really understood why people would buy figurines of their favourite characters. Until now...

Now, there's a box for sale at my local game shop, with all eleven incarnations of the Doctor. With their own little sonic screwdrivers!



I could have them all standing around having a party and arguing about wibbly wobbly timey wimeyness!

I could set up a battle, with half on one side and half on the other, all using their screwdrivers to out-sonic each other!

I could stand them all over my bookcase, and have Ten lecturing the others on the dangers of carnivorous shadows!

I could empty out my Tardis pencil box, and the Doctors could fly it round the room!

I could swap their accessories and have Nine wearing Four's scarf!


*WANTS*

BUY THEM.

I want you to have them, too! And then I want pictures!

I actually considered buying an Eowyn figurine once, partially inspired by cleolinda, but the one I wanted was discontinued. :(

Oooo, I saw those too (in a totally different store, in a totally different country, on a totally different continent, where it is currently spring, and not fall), and felt a pang of WANT as well.

I have a friend who has a Wiimote which is a sonic screwdriver. It's a controller for a Wii game which only works in Britain, but the Wiimote works fine with standard Wii games. I don't even have a Wii, but I covet the screwdriver.

Ah, I saw those twice at an expo...$30 difference between dealers, so make sure you get a good deal!
'tis very very cool though, and had they cost less and were I actually a fan of the older docs, I would have been tempted...
