No, that isn’t Marylin Manson’s fat brother. PopWatchers, meet Lars Ümlaut, one of four new Guitar Hero action figures being released by McFarlane Toys with Activision. The six-inch toys come with a whopping 15-18 moving parts (approximately 10 more parts than you move while actually playing the videogame) and will sell for $10-$15. We have the exclusive first-look on Lars, but you can also pick up a mini Johnny Napalm (the green-mohawked guy), Axel Steel (uber-muscular sleeveless jeans jacket dude), and God of Rock (the white-bearded deity). The game franchise is obscenely popular, so it’s no surprise they’re rolling out new products. But action figures? Maybe those kids shredding GH3 on YouTube will be buying these up, but sorry, Activision — here at PopWatch, we don’t play with dolls.

Will Lars make an appearance on ANTD as Gene Simmons?
Or the God of Rock as wall, God? I know someone (besides myself) who’s going to be very happy to hear this news. Any ETA for the availability?
Until they get Judy Nails (preferably in her pink getup) or Xavier Stone, I’m keepin’ my cash.
I want the hippie bass player, but only if he has realistic hippie-bounce action.
I agree with comixchick, though my player of choice has always been Izzy Sparks.
I hope series 2 has Lou, Izzy Sparks, Judy Nails, and Midori..
Series 3 can have Slash, Tom Morello, Grim Ripper and Xavier Stone.
what? no judy nails????? my GH alter ego deserves one!
