Ah, Santa! You Are Using Bonetti’s Defense Against Me, Ah?
This absolutely needs to show up under my tree for Christmas. I am far too much of a geek for it not to. Consider this a Santa Imperative.
According to the marketing spiel, the Dread Pirate Roberts Action Figure has 8 points of articulation in exciting “en garde” pose. Perfect for mock fights against Inigo Montoya (unfortunately, there is no action figure of the Spanish swordsman who dedicated his life to revenging his father).
The only drawback to the fig is that you can’t easily move the sword from hand to hand, which means that you can’t truly reenact the fight between Westley and Inigo Montoya, neither of whom were left-handed.
However, you can use a basic Lego Minifig and do the whole duel of wits scene between Westley and Vizzini. Wallace Shawn looks a lot like a Lego Minifig already.
