Bass Player Action Figures

Did you fart or something?
Listen, our band used to spend summers touring the camping festival circuit and if you've ever been to a camping festival (summer heat, sweaty fans, no showers)... They're loads of fun, but then they start to stink.

Seriously, though, the band went for a post-apocalyptic stage look:

(The band was called Pool of Thorns. I was with them from 2012 till about 2015. From what I understand, as COVID was coming the band imploded. A friend/fan made action figures of us).
 

They even captured his double jointed ankles! This is the most detailed figurine of him I have ever seen.

I saw this Funko homage to The Cure over the weekend (complete with bassist Simon Gallup) and it made me wonder… what other bassists have been immortalized as action figures?

Gene Simmons immediately comes to mind as the obvious one.

I would have expected Flea, but Google only shows homemade fan-art-style versions.

Anyone else?


I had no idea this existed, and now my life is empty without it, damn you!!!

This was not something I'd heard of or even imagined until today. Then, this morning, I was watching a YouTube video of Dan Hawkins showing his new studio () and he showed a couple of these figures including a Cliff Burton doll. I had to pause and rewind because my mind couldn't believe I saw it correctly. Then, an hour later, I stumbled across this post. Amazing stuff. It's not anything I'd want, but I'm delighted by the ridiculousness of this niche product.
