Rate R by MPAA, Pulp Fiction is obviously not for kids (or the faint-hearted, in general) and so, it is not surprising that the movie’s official talking figures aren’t too. Featuring key figures like the foul-mouth character, Jules Winnfield played by Samuel L. Jackson, Vincent Vega played by John Travolta, Jimmie Dimmick as cameoed by the director himself, Quentin Tarantino, and Bruce Willis’ Butch Coolidge. Expect these four characters to sprout iconic and delightfully explicit phrases, including “English, motherf*#ker, do you speak it?”, “I’m an American Honey, our names don’t mean sh*t.”, and “I don’t need you to tell me how f’ing good my coffee is, okay?”.
Each of these 13 inches tall press-me-to-talk action figures is rendered in the likeness of the respective actor, boosts 14 points of articulation, and comes replete with the individual’s requisite accessories like Jimmie Dimmick’s cup of really good f’ing coffee and removable slippers, Butch Coolidge’s father’s watch and samurai sword, Vincent Vega’s handgun, and Jules Winnfield “Bad Motherf*#ker Wallet,” briefcase, gold bracelet and of course, handgun.
The head sculpts are not quite to the standard of Hot Toys and the likes; they were never meant to be, but they are instantly recognizable anyhow. That’s perfectly alright, cos’ after all, they are just toys. Then again, they are definitely not for kids. I guess that’s the beauty of these action figures; crude and classy at the same time, just like the cult-status movie itself. You can pick up Pulp Fiction Explicit Talking Figures off Amazon for between $43-$52 a pop.
