The Man in Black action figure


Well, here he is, the Johnny Cash action figure. Available now on the Country Music Hall of Fame web store. I don't know what I think about this. It seems wrong. . . . . but then right. He's a legend. But an action figure? There he is, the man in black, reminding us of the wrongs. Making things right in song. He's a rebel. But a saint. He's human, but here he's larger than life in poseable plastic mold. Honestly, if he was older and had on that long leather duster walking down the highway with the guitar case in his hand, I'd jump at it. This is more like the late 70s Johnny Cash.
