Before “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (2005, Universal Pictures), I had never heard of an actor named Steve Carell who we all now know is famous for his roles in US adaptations of The Office, Evan Almighty, Date Night, and Space Force. His portrayal of a geeky 40-year-old virgin Andy Sitzer in film made a strong impression on me, and from then on, I became somewhat of a fan. If you are also a fan, may I introduce you to a “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” collectible?
Yes, there is a collectible from “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” and it is certainly not a poster. Folks, specifically movie buffs and fans of Steve Carell, meet the Andy Stitzer (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin“) Posed Figure from McFarlane Toys. Part of the McFarlane Toys’ Movie Maniacs line, which features posed figures of characters from iconic movies and TV shows, the Andy Stitzer figure recreates the protagonist of the comedic blockbuster’s most awkward moment: waxing.
The 6-inch scale posed figure is based on Steve Carell’s character who has just undergone a failed waxing procedure. The waxing failed because the pain was just too much for the 40-year-old virgin. The figure depicts Andy standing, holding a towel, with his pants at his ankles, and patches of missing hair visible on his chest and sternum.
Included with Nice Guy Andy is a collectible art card featuring character art on the front and a numbered certificate of authenticity on the back. Additionally, each figure comes with a secret bonus item.
The McFarlane Andy Stitzer (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) Statue is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com, Entertainment Earth, and Big Bad Toy Store for US$24.99 a pop. Delivery is slated to begin on July 01, 2024. The figure has a limited run of 3,600 copies – just thought you might want to know for planning your purchases.
