I knew it that someone would make the Joker comparisson
The Joker is a Comic character, he is 'alive' in our imaginations. Landa is also a fictional character but he just represent such bastards who acted exactly like that in the past, so those people are not only in our imagination, those people are/were for real. And no I don't mean that better mass murders should be a better choice. I never wrote that mate!
With 'history' figures I mean, when you're a museum or something like that, you're showing some figures of the past who have changed the history etc. Landa is just a moron, practically a nobody. When I was in the cinema and watching this movie, many people laughed what behavior he showed etc, and with this figure which is getting in the merchandising world is just like showing sympathy for such people.
What comes next? The brutally-Nazi-Actionfigure for 5 year old children?
Sorry for opening this discussion here and I don't want to attack anyone who's getting this figure, I just can't understand to support those characters, with merchandising-products.
