Excellent. A nice cottage industry in the making. It will fund this site and all future Elbow shows. We will take the touts at their own game buyinng all the tickets and distributing them to fans.

I'm thinking we could extend the range to include the string girls (you know what I mean), memorable show stage sets a tour bus etc. Limited editions-Guy with the walking stick, Pete with short hair, Jupp with hair etc. I have a very boring job which allows my mind to wander!

I was thinking we could also have sets - replica Bluprint Studios, Apollo....Night and Day...etc.
My job isn't really boring, I'm just weird....

Right then, we need someone to make prototypes for us and we can pitch it on Dragons Den

I don't think they should be made out of plastic though. I think they should be cuddly toys....

Years and years ago i made this on a coldplay forum...can someone with time/talent make an elbow equivalent? Somwhere out there is a "south park yourself" machine on the internet but i cant remember where. this could be the basis for our action figures!

[i'm not even going to ask what Borat's chest hair is made from
I couldn't possibly comment, Sir
Borat looks more like an overweight Freddie Mercury to me, though. Put him in a yellow jumpsuit and the dubious chest works... umm... slightly better. More woolly celeb doll daftness about if you Google 'Knitted Icons'.

And speaking of selfmade knitted figures...not exactly knitted but made of wool too... click enlarges! This is Mr. Peter Gabriel ca. 1973 in his "Watcher of the Skies"-Costume
I also have a wool version of Jon Bon Jovi, Steve Howe (Yes), Kory Clarke (Warrior Soul), Fred Coury and Jeff LaBar (Cinderella) and then I have two "No-Name-Barbie"-Dolls who should be "Bikers" but looked so much like Robbin Crosby and Juan Croucier of Ratt. And of Mr. Croucier I also have a self made ragdoll!
So I would be really curious about those "Elbow Action Dolls"
