How about a wee bit of symbolism?!?
Back when All Things Must Pass was released, the title really said it all. But, if there WAS any ambiguity...the cover photo finds George reigning high above the locals!
"I'M BIGGER THAN ALL OF YOU, NOW"!!!
These cool promotional figurines look to be of accurate scale and thus, so does the empathy we can now apply to the quiet Beatle that got big. All things must purse...
They look like they could be the financial MUST of the season.
Heck, I could be content with a Lord Reith gnome if it wore a Beatles wig!

Man those look cool. And way better than marbles in Pink Floyds boxsets. But I hope that they don't forget music is what it's all about

plastic is indeed a real bummer, william. i was actually considering shelling out big bucks for the uber edition, but this info pushes me the other way.
Elmore James ain't got nothin' on this baby.

The $1000 price tag is what keeps me away from this. I don't think there's anything an artist can offer, short of meeting them personally, that would make me want to part with that much money. And seeing as George is no longer with us...
My opinions are my own, but, my dog tends to agree with everything I say.
