This BIG 18-inch Freddie Mercury figure is more of a shrine to one of the most electrifying performers in Rock History! He is clothed in a flexi plastic jacket and meticulously painted to resemble the Queen Wembley concert performance, one of his last live appearances, available on DVD! I do believe the likeness is astounding and the medley of songs that are triggered by a motion sensor are timeless Queen Classics! He is somewhat limited in poseability from the waste down (his feet do move a little), but his arms, hands and head are able to move in different directions and he has his trademark half microphone stand to pose with. This was indeed a very special tribute to an unforgettable musician that was lost much too soon!
Here's to you, Freddie!

i had been looking for a piece like this for ages any true fan needs to have one , when the kids ask you who was he you just show them the doll...and it sings ....you can only get so much from the cds and dvd's sometimes its better just to see the real thing

If you were looking for an inexpensive statue of the Rock God. This is the one to get. Too sweet!

Love the action figure and it was a big hit for Christmas.

My only disappointed was that it was shipped in a box that had Freddy Mercury 18-inch Action Figure written on every single side in one inch letters, as it was a Christmas present it would have been good not have all that labelling on the shipping box, it was only luck that the gift wasn't found out when it was delivered.

I found out this was being sold at the mall, and they only had one in stock, so i called the store up and told them to hold it for me, and i arrived there 5 minutes till 9pm, right before it closed, to pick it up.

I was very excited to get this. Once i got it, the lady at the store asked " So youre into Queen too , huh? "
She went on to tell me that when she heard they had them , she had to put one aside for herself, and how she saw Queen in 1978 and her father got her the opprotunity to meet Freddie Mercury.

Ringing me up at the register, another store employee remarked, "Big Queen fan ?"
...I couldnt affirm more.

Getting this out of the box took a little time, since its tied up with plastic twisters pretty well.

Its painted pretty good, with minor imperfections i dont even notice. Might vary with each figure. But its nothing bad. And its ok for something thats around 30 or 40 bucks.

I wish the legs could of been posable , and i wish you could position him in the famous Wembly stance, that youll see on Wembly dvds and posters. It just embodies the sheer power Freddie Mercury has, as an awesome musician/singer.

BUT, you can raise up the figure's arm, and be creative with the microphone and try to re-inact signature poses.

You can move his head up , as he does when ever looks up into the heavens.
Or down , like he does while gazeing into the eyes of the endless ocean of fans below him.

The figure does has a switch to hear brief clips from 3 songs.... We are The Champions ... We Will Rock You
And ...Radio GaGa....

...ya...i dont know either...why Radio GaGa?
Save it for the LIVE AID Freddie figure! thats where that song was probubly most famous. (Since i heard they stole the show with that song and was a historic moment)

Thats one of the things i kinda thought was dissapointing is that it doesnt play any sound bites from the Wembly concert, becouse that would of been amazing. And i have the dvd, so i know theres lots of things they could of used, not to mention times when Freddie humored the crowd or tested everyones vocal ability against his own.

Songs i would of liked to hear would of been "One vision" or even "A Kind Of Magic", insted of "radio gaga" and also live concert versions of the 'WeWillRockYou' and 'WeAreTheChampions' songs from the Wembly magic show.

I give it 3 stars becouse of lack of posablity and the all too brief song bite medly, that doesnt showcase actual sounds from the Wembly show, let alone the Magic Tour , it self.
Plus, i just remember that it says it has "motion activated sound", but the only motion activation i can see, is my finger pressing the switch up.

Its still cool how you can now get a Freddie Mercury figure , that has a decent likeness to the man ( who is my greatest inspiration for singing, and favorite singer period)

I just felt they kinda put it together half-heartedly. But im not going to just complain, cuz you cant make everyone happy and atleast they have something like this....

Another thing...it says it comes with a STAND...
I never found a stand with the action figure or anything...
That wasnt in my box atleast and it was brandnew. So, i dunno.
But i can stand him up anyway without a stand, but its easy for the figure to fall over. Its done it a couple times, when i posed the right fist up above its head and the other arm with the microphone down.

The microphone part itself, of the half mic stand can be moved back and forth, and it can detach too. I found that out when it fell, and it was missing for a minute, though it didnt break.

Its worth getting if you cant yet afford a life size Mercury statue or dont have the room for one,
Its my closest thing to a statue ,of sorts, in honor of Freddie Mercury, my favorate singer of all time.

If you can afford it and really like Freddie Mercury and Queen, buy one.

Hes the first action figure ive had in a VERY LONG time lol.

I haven't received it yet. I had to have it shipped to my cousin in Chicago as the seller would not ship to Toronto, ON.

I've given the product 1 star across the board not because of the figure but because of the shipping issues.
