Celebrating Comedy Legends: Laurel and Hardy Action Figures Come to Life

After almost a century since Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy first came together to revolutionize the film industry, it's time to honor these comedy icons with a new series of action figures. Wandering Planet Toys is set to illuminate their legacy with an exciting crowdfunding initiative that features distinct versions of these beloved characters.

The campaign showcases two variations of Laurel and Hardy figures—one vibrant and colorful, and the other in classic black and white, reminiscent of the era in which they flourished. The initial visual of the monochrome editions has been unveiled, alongside a delightful Laurel and Hardy lunchbox set. You can view this enticing collection in the accompanying slideshow gallery below.

Designed at a 1:12 scale, these figures stand six inches tall and boast a complete range of articulation. Both the color and black and white versions come equipped with display stands, interchangeable hands, and various facial expressions, not to mention their signature bowler hats.

For supporters of the Kickstarter campaign, there’s an opportunity to choose a "Studio Special" reward tier that offers exclusive items, including a limited edition Laurel and Hardy 100th Anniversary enamel pin and the delightful lunchbox mentioned earlier.

According to Doc Wyatt, co-founder of Wandering Planet Toys, Laurel and Hardy's significant impact on comedy makes them worthy of recognition and respect. He expressed hope that these action figures would inspire fans to celebrate and reflect upon the classic films that left a lasting impression on them.

Wandering Planet has previously engaged fans with action figures inspired by pop culture icons, including characters from Nancy Drew and various figures based on the classic television series The Prisoner.
