Gift Idea: Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy is now an action figure

Okay, so there’s not much action to be had but wouldn’t this look good on the shelf? It’s for the Goth who has everything. The purpose? To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Murphy’s excellent solo album, Deep. And he comes with two different types of hair.

If you want Murphy with black hair, the cost is US$600. Only 1999 will be made. Bleached-blonde Peter (999 copies) will sell for US$99.

For the super-obsessive types, there will be a one-of-a-kind version studded with US$5,000.
