"I have to return some video tapes..."
When American Psycho first graced my tv screen several years ago, I was instantly in love. Without a doubt one of the most hilarious movies I'd ever seen, I found the narcissistic, self-serving, world-loathing maniacal Patrick Bateman to be utterly charming in his world of jet-set, quirky, dream-like 1980s culture. Although I've yet to read the book (I know, I know, shame on me), the movie nonetheless became an instant classic and holds a special place in my heart. However, one of the things I never thought I'd see was an action figure of Christian Bale's over-the-top madman portrayal. First of all, although the figure is several years old, I think its likeness of Christian Bale is pretty spot on, and resembles the actor much more than Mattel's Batman Movie Masters figures; for a much newer example. However, the real thing to love about this figure itself isn't necessarily the figure, but the vast array of accessories. The figure includes a display base of spread out newspaper (all the better to keep Paul Allen's blood off your floor) as well as the axe used to transform Paul Allen into a bloody mess. Other accessories include the butcher knife as seen on the movie cover and posters as well as a brief case, nail gun, meat cleaver, interchangeable hand, headphones and Walkman (one wonders if it's Genesis, Huey Lewis or Chris de Burgh he's listening to) and, most hilarious of all, a porno VHS tape (I can't tell you the name on the label here, but fans will know). It's a shame additional, essential accessories like a pistol, chainsaw and big, honkin' '80s cell phone weren't included, but nevertheless I absolutely love the figure and it never fails to bring a smile to my friends' faces and always starts a conversation.

Corporate Stiff
OK, now---& I'm willing to spot for chow at Dorsia if I'm wrong on this one---but didn't Patrick Bateman, Wall Street investment banker & Boy-next-Door by Day, bloodthirsty axe-wielding psychopath by Night---didn't our boy Patrick work out?No, I don't mean "work out" in the conventional 9-to-5 thing, though he did that as well, ultimate Master of the Universe & Big Swinging [expletive, figure it out] in Murders & Executions over at Pierce & Pierce---I mean, go to the gym, break a sweat, hit the stairmaster, work those thighs, those gluts, those pecs, those dorsal lateral incipital vorialuses, bench press 300, get to the point where he could do 200 ab crunches while chowing down on some Chinese (no MSG) while watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre?Yes? I thought so. The guy was limber.Well here's the bad news: while Patrick Bateman served up bodybags full of bloody stiffs, Patrick Bateman the action figure is---well, just a bloody corporate stiff. As in he doesn't move. As in, with this little outting, you're just getting a kind of---um, in-action figure. Non-action statue?Think: three (count 'em, 3!) points of articulation. The head---so Patrick can look a little pouty, or a little glowering, or a kind of ow-slung pouty-glowering combo---and the two wrists. And that's it. That's what you get.Yeah, I'm with you, man: abandon all Hope ye who Enter Here.Now: I give this little plastic Armani clad monster 3 stars because--well, it's always nice to have a little Patrick Bateman around. I position him to the right of one of my big-screen monitors, shiny stainless steel Axe poised for the death-stroke---which is really, given the 2 workable points of articulation, the only stroke he can take---and it's all good.Some of my colleagues came into my office the other day and overheard me consulting the old boy's opinion: Patrick, which would you recommend, the spinach swordfish arrugla or the crem de Lamprey? Blue Lapis cufflinks or those shiny sterling silver ones from Jermyn Street with the blue Fair-Isle french cuff dress shirt? Nail Gun or IED? Full-break or cuffs?I get a lot of quiet time now.So it's really the Best of Times, & the Worst of Times, and we're all Les Miserables: it's impossible to get Patrick to hold onto his tony little Gucci briefcase properly, you've got to switch out his hand to make the nail gun fit, the New York Times style section doesn't have any little hubs to hold the Boy Next Door steady, and you can't get the left arm to pivot, which would allow you to let Bateman bring his Brave & Shiny new Axe up over his uber-coiffed head for the True & Totally Fatal Death Blow.But it's the only Bateman doll we got, so as his younger brother Sean might say: Rock and Roll---deal with it.Consider it dealt.JSG

I'm Glad A Patrick Bateman Toy Is Made
NECA Toys finally made a figures of cult classic horror films. And it's good that American Psycho is one of them. Patrick Bateman deserves to be a figure, especially since American Psycho has many fans.This figure does look like Christian Bale and it comes with cool accessories. So, if you're a fan of the book or movie, get this figure.
