Philistine.

I am a huge Beatles fan and I am afraid I don't see much worth purchasing... even as cartoon likenesses, they aren't that good... exceot maybe Ringo.

I agree. I'd happily pick up a polystone or PVC yellow submarine to represent the album/movie, but this release doesn't appeal especially.

 

[cokebabies]

I'm a Beatles psycho, and I'm only "eh" on the movie. But the songtrack has Hey Bulldog, so that alone warrants its existence.

Even with my disinterest in the movie, I'd pick these up if they were really good, which... I don't think they are.

 

[K07]

These look kinda neat if you like Yellow Submarine. These have been done in various and arguably better ways though.. I don't care for the movie. I do love the first few tracks from the album though ("Hey Bulldog" for sure is my favorite from it). I wish real likenesses of them could be officially made. Heck, I'd settle for the Rockband versions of them in various stages of their career over this one.

And is that spam above? How does that happen? 3/4 of those aren't even Beatles songs...

He's trolling.

I feel the same as others. If these looked to be a bit better in the quality department I might consider them for the price. Unfortunately, we'll never have licensed, realistic versions of those guys.

 

[fistfulmetal]

Yeah considering the price they go for I would like them based off their real likeness. Hopefully someday they get made. I wish the quality was a bit better then I might buy them.

The McFarlane versions of these are pretty solid. Smaller scale, of course - but probably one of the best figure representations of them.

Oh ok. Fair enough then

 

[cokebabies]

Speaking of Sutcliffe, every time I listen to it, I'm still sort of surprised by how good the Backbeat soundtrack is.

Those headsculpts are a little trippy.

And so they should be

Does one come with Jeremy, the nowhere man?

I think only McFarlane Toys carried Jeremy-- a bonus figure that came with the John or Paul figures. About $20 on ebay or amazon.
