As anyone can tell by my sig, I'm a big fan of Burroughs, so this has me excited. A Soft Vinyl replica, of the Typewriter from the movie Naked Lunch. This agent/mugwump is awesome, and the Soft vinyl allows for it to make the shaky buglike movements which it made in the movie. The write up I read, said this is 1/1, because vinyl wasn't allowed at the time of the dvd release, but it may be made for the blu ray release.
Love the man, his works and the movie. I really hope this happens as a general release. My wife hates the movie with a passion and would not be pleased. I just had the thought, someone should create a USB keyboard of this. I would love to be typing on that!
uhhh... looks at burroughs books on the shelf... looks at toy collection on the shelf.... these things are not even closely related in my mind... don't care, surprisingly.
Funyara had one of these for sale at his booth at san diego about 2 or 3 years ago, its pricy but way cool.
I had seen the previous version many times at the local Mandarake in Osaka, and I confess it was sure one of those love it or hate it pieces - but regardless, a definite conversation starter when someone comes to visit This version actually looks much better and more detailed.
love the movie, love the production design... but that's pretty much where it stops for me. don't love it enough to be creeping around my room. he was always one fugly typewriter.
Were these ever produced? I'm still trying to lookup pictures of the original mugwump vinyl toy, and without success. Does anyone have a pic or two available? I just watched the movie again and would like to see just how the toy compares. Edit: Is this it? It looks like the one already pictured above.
