Steve Irwin: action figure

by Adam Finley, posted Jan 1st 2007 3:08PM

steve irwinI could have sworn someone had already made a Steve Irwin action figure, but I guess I was wrong. A quick search on Amazon resulted in Crocodile Hunter trading cards and a Crocodile Hunter boardgame, but no figures of action. The new action figure is based on the late Steve Irwin who died last September after being stung in the heart by a stingray. The twenty-two dollar toy is decked out in Irwin's signature khaki garb and says various phrases, including "Crikey!" a phrase I still attribute more to Danger Mouse than Irwin, but what can you do? The toy will make its debut next month at the International Toy Fair in New York. Now, through the magic of imagination he'll be able to do what he could never do while alive: fight Skeletor and make out with Barbie. Or vice versa.

You were not mistaken. About three or four years ago, there was a set of Steve and Teri Action figures, that came with a variety of 'accessories' and animals. Steve-o could talk when you pushed his shirt pocket (I can't remember if there were three or four phrases -- things like "crikey" "Danger, danger, danger" and "Isn't she a beauty!"), for the Teri figure, the voice box was in her 'backpack' with button on the side.

I got one Teri and one Steve (with snakes) for my son, I think the price was $9.99 each, but I got them on clearance at $6.99 ("Toys 'R' Us"). At the time I thought that expensive, but now I wish I'd gotten a few to put away as collector's items!
