Why isn't there any Prince Merchandise?

I searched for some Prince related Merchandise on the net and wondered why i didn't found anything.

So, why isn't there any Prince Merchandise? Like Posters, T-Shirts etc.

I really would like to buy a Prince Action Figure, like the ones released by Neca/McFarlane Toys for Kurt Cobain, Kiss, Janis Joplin...

Or even better, a whole Set of Prince & the Revolution biggrin

It's a cool idea, but you realize that Prince would sh*t his pants at the thought of a Prince action figure, right? Or for that matter any other songs or merchandise we would actually enjoy.

Sounds baity. You cannot be serious. I mean, really? REALLY? Action figures of the fucking Revolution? Pffffft.

Come on now....let's be honest, my friend. You know that shit doesn't even exist. And if you WERE looking for Prince shit, why not try eBay? At least get something official, not some fourth party attempt to ride Prince's fame.

Mcfarlane only does figures of folk he likes-and i don't think he's into Prince. I have all the hendrix and a couple of Elvis and the Lennon.

Prince would NEVER endorse it anyway cuz it would have to be his most famous/iconic look-which would be Purple Rain and since he does not do 'the past' particularly well.....

Yeah, not until he puts on a show chalked full of the same old 20 hits. But God forbid we put on that jacket one more time. Hell, even MJ worked those socks and that glove until he died. He knew what folks wanted, and was still fresh and bringing on new things in the process.

I hate to get all Ernest Sewell on you, but you should use the Google Search at the top of the screen for Prince T-Shirts.

As for why Prince doesn't wear his old purple trenchcoat anymore. That's just stupid.

Well actually the best place for them to look is the Marketplace forum, and then eBay. But actions figures? Crazy stuff.

I used the Google Search a few weeks ago, and found these shirts.

The Doll looks great, but it stays a Puppet.

I want a Sculpt like Plastic Figure Diorama like these...





If there ever will be a Prince & the Revolution Diorama produced, it should be based on one of the following:Pics:

Those would be quite interesting dioramas to have. It has to be something iconic, meaning it's something people see and knows what it represents. Those are two very good examples of a good Prince diorama.

eBay.com or MadhouseMusic.com are the best places to go to.

Can you imagine how much the press would take the piss out of a Prince action figure?!
Seriously, if Prince got a pound for everytime someone called it "life-size", he could pay us all back for Lotusflow3r!
