Esau Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Does that one play "touch" or the little solo from "Death don't have no mercy"? The one I had a few years back played Touch...but alas it was stolen during a roomamtes party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 I seriously question whether that is Garcia or not. I havent given it the 'full-on' listen, but it didnt add up the first few times I heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezy Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 I think this 'action figure' is WRONG WRONG WRONG. Who's the skinny, fit guy with what looks sort-of like a strat? Jerry did not play a strat AND he was fat and unhealthy-looking. It looks like they just took the extra Jesus action figures and put a purple shirt, glasses and a strat on him. boo-urns.

Booche Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Thanks Weezy, cause I was holding back.......... First off, this is a McFarlan, and I am incredibly disappointed. His stuff is usually (pardon the pun) 'dead on'. Personally, I think Deborah Koons may have had a little too much involvement in this one. Why couldnt they have at least used one of the Irwin ones? (possibly, that whole lawsuit bullshit, but who knows) Here are a couple of tidbits: The Jerry Garcia Guitars TIGER SOLD FOR $957,500 USD WOLF SOLD FOR $789,500 USD According to Steve Parish: Jerry had about 25 guitars, but 70% of his time in the spotlight he played just 3, all custom built by the same luthier. His first was a Danelectro (age 15). His acoustic in the days with Robert Hunter prior to his switch to the banjo is uncertain. With the Warlocks in '65 he used a red Guild Starfire, also used on the 1st Dead albumn. After a series of Gibsons SGs, Les Pauls (with P90 single-coil pickups), and a couple of Teles (+ a Strat the "Alligator" from Graham Nash) he declared: "I don't like any guitars that are available. I'm trying to have a guitar built." Hence, the Travis Bean. He laughed upon first seeing it, but quickly changed his mind when he tried the custom aluminum-neck guitar made in San Francisco. He used a Vox wah-wah in those dayz. In all honesty, I could have dealt with this Jerry figure, instead of that one. As long as they got it right! (Notice the linkage to Deborah Koons, the figure, and the pic I put up. Why werent they true to Jerry and his fans?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermontdave Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 I saw that in a big-box toy store a couple years ago and thought it odd. It was a display of 'Rock Heroes' and also included Jim Morrison Alice Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
